★★★★★ John & Janet are the most welcoming hosts! I was never wanting for anything - I was the only guest there but they still went to so much trouble to make sure I felt at home, including setting up a full breakfast just for me! I have recommended Porcupine Ridge to everyone! Thank you John & Janet!
