MEET YOUR HOSTS

Your Hosts

Eunice and Rienus Ryk know about quality and care, having spent their entire lives working in the service and hospitality industries far and wide. They met when Eunice was still in high school, working at a grocery store bakery. Eunice grew up in Moraviantown and Rienus is originally from Holland. 

Not so very long ago, they decided to return to Moraviantown to build their dream log home. They decided to open their home as a bed and breakfast, after discovering the region's lack of top notch accommodations for the traveller and professional alike. Today, you'll find them 'at home' doing what they do best; sharing their friendly hospitality. 

Our Log Home Bed and Breakfast is built on the spot where Eunice's family homestead once was, a place where she has memories of exploring the riverbank, searching for berries, and fishing with her father. It’s exactly where Eunice and Rienus want to be, a place where they can share the natural beauty of the region with their guests from around the world!

    A LITTLE ABOUT OUR HOME

    Relax on the porch

    If you’ve never stayed in a log home in the country before, you’re in for a treat. This open-concept home with beautifully handcrafted log walls, comes complete with all the comforts. Eunice and Rienus care about the environment and strive to use renewable resources as much as possible in their home, which has geothermal heating, flooring made from bamboo and cork and a solar clothes dryer. But what many guests simply love is the wrap-around veranda where they can sit back with their morning coffee and enjoy the view. The surrounding natural habitat of the Thames River shoreline provides the perfect oasis for many animal species, and guests often report sightings of wild turkeys, and fox with the occasional fly-by from a family of eagles. What will you see?
