Accessibility

Mersey River Chalets has been designed to provide a barrier free vacation experience. The developers, 3 of whom are Paraplegic / Quadriplegic, envisioned a place where common physical barriers are minimized and every one can experience the serenity and beauty of nature regardless of physical ability.

We stayed at Mersey River Chalets in March of 2011, and we fell in love with the place. The natural setting is so amazing we want to come back again in the summer. You are a gracious host, Tim, and we appreciate the environment you create there for your guests. It was a retreat for us and a real treat as well! Thanks - we'll be back.
