We have a swimming pool, fire pit, 2 paddle boats, 2 kayaks and outdoor games, including a volleyball net, basketball and horseshoes. The grounds include a large vegetable garden, fruit trees and grapevines.

Great Family Weekend
Convenient local with great country atmosphere. Kids loved the pool and s’mores on the fire pit. First visit to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days for several of us. Only issue - Couldn’t get the pin # to work on the specified entry. But the nearby kitchen door was unlocked.

Relaxing Getaway
So much to do! Lots of opportunities to relax and catch up with family members away from city distractions. We viewed lovely sunsets, walked the property while the dogs romped, playing indoor and outdoor games of all types, and this visit we spent a lot of time chilling in the pool and hot tub. Ideal family memory maker!

Three families get together every Labor Day weekend and this was our second time to stay here. This is a perfect place for our group as there is so much room and so many great things to do. We've been getting together for 13 years now and this place is our favorite.

Sweet Retreat!
It was unanimously decided by our three generational family of 12 that our stay at Lavender Hill was a BLAST!!! What a pleasant surprise to find a home that was truly stocked for large groups. From the overabundance of towels (both bath and pool) to a fully stocked kitchen with every appliance, pot/pan and utensil you could ever need. What an added bonus to be greeted in the refrigerator with delicious fresh eggs from the chicken coup. Whatever bed you end up with you will not be disappointed as they are all comfortable right down to the bunk beds. The sparkling pool (with tons of pool toys/floats) and the beautiful grounds are extremely well kept. Paddle boating and fishing on the gorgeous pond was definitely a family favorite! From the moment you awake to the serene quietness of the countryside until your head hits your pillow at night from a refreshing swim in the pool or walk of the property, you will never lack for something FUN to do either indoors or out!

This is a great house to spend time with your family or a nice couples retreat. We have done both here. The pond is nice. We had a golden algae problem during this visit bit that is not the norm. I have actually been to this house 3 different times and enjoyed it each time. This time we took the entire family and made memories together. My kids lived within an hour or 2 from the property so it was easy for the kids and grandkids to come and go around their schedules. The fresh fruit was so nice. Several walks were made around the pond to get fresh peaches and nectarines. The tomatoes were also enjoyed by all from the garden. The rooms are lovely and worked out nicely for my family. We all enjoyed the game room. The open living space in the house is awesome. It was so nice to have room for all of us to sit and eat together and share conversation. If you are looking for a nice relaxing vacation to connect with your family, I would definitely recommend Lavender Hill.

We gathered our family, our children and grandchildren, for an unforgettable week of inside games, outside games, lots of pool time, smores around the fire, paddle boating, barbequing, and so much more. Each day we seemed to discover another attribute of the property. Wonderful opportunity for us all to commune with nature and each other.

Perfect, comfortable, had everything!
We had a family reunion, ages 3-65, total of 14 people. This was a perfect home. Kept the kids off all ages 4-17 entertained. The owners thought of everything. Clean, comfortable, supplied fish food, rods, s'mores for fire pit, pool and hot tub were great! The game room was a bonus. Can't say enough about this house. Simply beautiful and we hope to return. Destine was available if needed.

This is our 2nd stay at this property and they have done a lot of upgrades (modern master bath, new pool furniture, more fun and games in the gameroom). As I said last year, this place has everything for all ages. We are a group of 5 years to 69 years and we all had a great time and plan to return next year.

Perfect retreat
The pictures do not do this beautiful, quaint home justice. It was the perfect place for our end of the season cheer retreat. My team had the best time. We could not think of one single thing that was left out. Every amenity imaginable was available. From paddle boating to horse shoes to ping pong to board games and movies then evenings in the hot tub....there was definitely something for everyone. They have already asked if we can make this an annual tradition! Thank you for a great and wonderful experience. We will be back!

Best place to Stay in Area
This is a beautiful home with tons of amenities! Perfect for families, reunions, or groups wanting to shop Canton Trade days! It is about 20 minutes out from Canton but an easy drive. Loved the fact there were four bathrooms and four showers! Comfortable beds, open concept living area, but also bedrooms that could be private. There were many different activities for children to keep them occupied. Great choice as a place to stay.
