WE ARE OUT OF THE WAY

OUR LODGING IS UNIQUE and SCATTERED

​WE'RE TINY AND QUIET

AND OUR BEAUTY CANNOT BE BEAT

What a gem this park this is.  Situated along the St Mary's River on the south end of town (on Ontario St), the Botanical Gardens provide visitors quiet peaceful walking paths through several individually designed and maintained memorial garden spaces.  Benches along the beach offer freighter viewing while relaxing.  Open gathering area around reflecting pond, or a quiet spot along the shore offer great ceremony spots.
