What a relaxing Shangra-La! Delicious breakfasts and friendly host. Took a dip in the lake despite the last April snow squalls!! We will have to return for fishing, more saunas and maybe some skating in the winter. Will recommend.
David Thompson
We really enjoyed the amenititws: Hot Tub, Sauna and Jacuzzi. Loved having a cosy ambiance. Has fun with all the games. Enjoyed the friendless of our Hosts and how responsive they were to all our needs. Thanks again for tracking down a fresh turkey for us.

Foosball was a great addition. We had a lot of fun playing it and competing. Everything was wonderful as always. Looking forward to seeing you next year.

The Hunt family
This was our first visit. We had a very relaxing time. We enjoyed watching the sunsets while relaxing in the Hot Tub each evening. The view was fantastic. The all-season room got the most use as it was where we ate every meal and played games. Great facility and excellent BBQ. Thank your to Gordon and Mary Jo - you have a wonderful place here.
Derek and Aara Bowles
Not too bad, not too great. Just pretty average. Average dock, average boat, average beds, average chairs, so average it hurts.
Thank you for making our stay at your little slice of paradise so wonderful. You're both such terrific and accommodating hosts that we would have no hesitation in recommending your place as a destination to others looking for a holiday cottage. There isn't anything that you haven't thought of to make a guest feel completely comfortable. It was effortless to pack because everyday items were all taken care of for us!! It's the little touches and thoughtful follow through that make you both so good at running a guest house. We intend on making your place, "our place" for holidays in future. Thank you again.

Our experience here was a great one. Leaving now feels like we are leaving our own cottage. It's been so relaxing and there is always something to do. Thank you Mary Jo and Gordon, you have done an excellent job with this place.
We had a great time and will be telling our friends and family about this place. There is lots to do and not enough time . Next time will be for a week. Thank you so much Mary Jo and Gordon for being great hosts and making us feel so welcome. We look forward to seeing you both soon. Have a great summer.

Thanks Mary Jo and Gordon,
The Gethsemane Cottage house was a very excellent place! Everything was provided and all the extras that were provided were next to none and the rates were the lowest of what you can find! Mary Jo and Gordon were awesome and they provided very warm hospitality and your house set up was very warm and cozy. We will be back for sure!

"When I discovered "Gethsemane Rest Bed and Breakfast on the Lake", I discovered heaven on earth. This place is the absolute best getaway ANYONE can ever wish for. We go up there as our yearly tradition since we've discovered it.
From sipping wine in the hot tub, a little relaxation and warmed towel in the sauna to a fabulous fireplace roaring among good friends and good conversation. One of the best sunsets you can see and if your lucky enough to be in the hot tub at the time even better. Can't wait to hear the loons again this year.
The hosts Mary Jo and Gord are lovely friendly people to take a genuine interest in you having the best getaway possible. Let me tell you there isn't anything that they haven't thought of, but there will definitely be things you never thought of.
Thanks Mary Jo & Gord for sharing your little piece of heaven with us and some of our friends that we've recommend your place to."

3 years ago my husband his cousin his girlfriend and myself were looking for somewhere to get away and chase away the February blues. We started our search on Kijiji and found the Gethsemane Guest house originally we were skeptical because it sounded to good to be true.
I am happy to say that every February since we have been enjoying a wonderful relaxing and very affordable get away at a very beautiful place with even more beautiful hosts Mary Jo and her husband Gordon are very friendly and accommodating hosts and we would recommend their guest house to anyone who will listen !
We have stayed at the Hepburns bed and breakfast twice in the last year. We enjoyed both stays a great deal and plan to return for another stay soon. Mary Jo and Gordon are wonderful hosts and the accomodations are just perfect for us. Dave and Jan Orr
I'am an avid camper with a group of friends that get away 2 to 3 times during the camping season. While searching the web under vacational rentals one fall day I came across a bed & breakfast place that met all our requirements, hot tub, sauna, gas fireplace, 3 tv's, wii game, full kitchen amenities, three season room with excercise equipment & much more outdoors to use & rent.
Our host Gordon & Mary Jo Hepburn of Gethsemane Guest House treated us like family & were there to offer their expertice on running all the electronic equipment as well as the hot tub, sauna & jaccuzi tub. Their hot breakfast included in the package was awsome.
I have been here twice for a two day stay since middle of Jan. & we are booked back in in Sept. at the end of our camping season. My group have already decided to make this an annual stop over. This bed & breakfast escape is truly a diamond in the ruff. (info@bedandbrekfastinbridgenorth.com).
We had our first visit to Gethsemane Guest House in 2010. Upon our arrival, our hosts Gordon and Mary Jo Hepburn were so warm and inviting and immediately made us feel so comfortable. The accommodations are beautiful and spacious and are equipped with everything you could ever need to enjoy your time there. We loved relaxing on the lounge chairs by the lake, taking the boat out for some fishing, enjoying the Aqua Bikes and then having a hot tub under the stars. We are eagerly looking forward to our next visit this year.
Barry & Debbie
My family and myself have had the good fortune to stay at Gethsemane Bed and Breakfast a couple of times over the last few years. Mary Jo and Gordon, the hosts, are absolutely wonderful, they are polite and friendly and a pleasure to visit with. The accommodations, are beautiful, the beds are amazing to sleep in and there is nothing in the home that have been done second rate. They always respect your privacy and you would never know they where there if you so desired, the breakfast’s they supply are excellent, and you never leave with a empty stomach, all and all, I would recommend Gethsemane to anyone with complete confidence. Well done, Mary Jo and Gordon!!

We stayed at the Bed and Breakfast in March with another couple. We have stayed in alot of places and web sites either don't do it justice or it is a complete let down. Well we were very surprised that this place exceeded our expectations. Very clean and very very spacious
Upon arriving we were shown around and also showed how everything worked. The view from the sunroom over the lake is wonderful. Our husbands had an amazing time on the first experience of ice fishing. We will go again in the winter again for ice fishing. We wanted a place where we can totally relax and this is the place, everything you need is there. Two full size bedrooms with TV and Dvds in each room. Comfortable beds and towels for both the bathroom and hot tub. We spent evenings in the Hot tub and sauna and it was amazing to look out over the lake and watch the sunset and stars each night. One of the wonderful treats you get in the off season is breakfast left for you in your kitchen each morning
