About this property
Relaxing retreat in the country
A peaceful country retreat nestled alongside a beautiful forested area, this unique space was once a barn and has since been thoughtfully converted into the welcoming getaway it is today. A small screened-in patio off the back is the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings surrounded by nature.
Scenic hiking trails are located just a 2-minute walk away, and the world-famous Stratford Festival is only a 15-minute drive, making this an ideal escape from city life while still being close to local attractions.
The Country Nook is located right beside our home, yet offers a great deal of privacy. We live on the property and are always happy to help—please don’t hesitate to knock or send us a message if you have any questions or need anything during your stay.
Please note that there is no cellular service at the property. However, Wi-Fi calling allows your cellphone to function normally over Wi-Fi. With your opening message, we’ll send clear instructions on how to set this up prior to arrival.
We also have two large, friendly dogs who roam our property and are contained using an Invisible Fence system. They are not permitted inside the retreat unit. If you’d like to meet them, just let us know.
For security purposes, exterior cameras are in place facing the driveway and the Nook entrance. These cameras do not look into the unit and are used solely to monitor the property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a great cabin on a beautiful property, hosted by wonderful hosts. Kevin and Allison were accommodating, helpful, considerate, and friendly. The cabin was cozy, very well stocked and supplied, and super clean. Beautiful in summer and winter. I'd come back any time, and would recommend to any singles, small group of friends or family, or couples!
This place is such a gem of a retreat. It is perfect for a little getaway and I couldn't ask for more. Kevin and Alison are such great hosts, and are very accommodating. Their two dogs are adorable and such fun - the cherry on top of the experience!
Loved this adorable little spot for our winter weekend getaway. We arrived in the middle of an evening snow storm and the hosts had already plowed the pathways, so we had no problem getting in. It was freezing outside so we stayed bundled in the house all weekend - which felt warm, clean, comfortable and private. The hosts were wonderful and communicative and the dogs are very sweet and respectful. Had a lovely time!
A very cozy stay! My family and I loved the place. Great location. It's easy to tell that the owners put a lot of care and attention in the place. I would 10/10 recommend and stay here again!
The Nook is a sweet hideaway, the layout is well thought out and the screened in back porch was a perfect place to relax and enjoy my book. I’ll definitely stay again if I’m in the area!
Check in was easy….good directions by owner.Comfortable beds…..beautiful setting with a vehicle. Only 10 minutes to Stratford.Friendly dogs kept us company.
Such a cosy, functional, lovely place to stay. Close to Stratford if you want to catch a show. Beautiful setting. Just an all around great place to stay.
An amazing relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Beautifully renovated and had everything we needed plus more.

We are are a husband and wife team who loves to meet new people and have fun new experiences! If we are not on the property we are off on our own adventures which include skiing, snowboarding, camping and hiking.
Why they chose this property
This is a relaxing retreat. Close enough to Stratford but far enough away to have your own private retreat.
What makes this property unique
It's secluded and quiet. A lovely pond is out front. A Norwegian wood fireplace outside and a gas one inside. All the inside touches make this feel like a family cottage a place to relax and recharge.
