About this property

The Hatmaker’s House

How about a Fall/Winter get away with griends or Family. This clean, peaceful and bright four bedroom house on a quiet court is awaiting your arrival. This house has several spots to relax indoors and outdoors. It has an open concept kitchen to cook in which is open to a dinning room table that seats ten people and a living room with a gas fireplace to relax by. The backyard is very large, private, quiet and fenced in. This spot is extremely well located. It is a five minute walk to the University, food shopping, restaurants and a pharmacy is just outside the Court. The Mall, downtown, hiking and skiing trails are all within a 15 to 35 minute walk. There are several great restaurants to walk to near my house. Manhattan’s is my favorite as it’s close and it has live Jazz music.

Please make sure, your reservation is accurate to reflect the number of people that will be sleeping in the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A beautifully appointed home, spacious, comfortable, large fenced yard for my pups. The kitchen and dinning areas have absolutely everything you might need. The beds are so comfortable. The bathrooms spotless, again with anything you might have forgotten. Kim is so attentive to your needs. I really can't say enough. A seamless family holiday just before Christmas. The house was tastefully decorated for the holidays. Amazing

This house met all of our expectations. Three couples and a single fit very nicely into this home. Interestingly over decorated and wouldn’t necessarily be recommended for young children Our host Kim communicated well with me and all worked well

Stay with family

Our stay at Kim’s place was like visiting an old friend with lots of stories to tell. Although we didn’t see Kim, her place was full of unique items and decor that begged to tell a story. She provided anything we needed, offered to make up the pullout couch for us and left special touches that made us feel welcome. Thank you Kim!

Beautiful house close to r great food and dessert and close to campus.

7 adults and needed a place to stay for a conference at the University of Guelph. The house was very large with many amenities. The beds were huge and super comfortable. Walking to campus was a quick 15 min walk and British pub, amazing dessert place, grocery’s, and good ethnic food were across the street so super convenient if you wanted to go out to eat or grab snacks. Host was very helpful and quickly responded to any questions we had. Internet worked great and the little touches such as the rain shower were an added bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Thanks again!

Beautiful Home - Great Location

The house was beautiful and full of character making it feel like a home. My immediate family stayed at the house during our wedding weekend. They had a lovely stay and there was plenty of space to both get together as a family, and to have our own space. The house was clean and well stocked. It was in a great location and super useful for those without access to a vehicle as it was close to a grocery stores, restaurants, many other amenities, and the university. The host was wonderful and made sure the place was ready for us. They were very accommodating and quick to reply with any updates. Thank you so much Kim!
