Thank you Robert for your kind review. It was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of your group. I'm glad you found the property comfortable and convenient for your weekend activities. We appreciate how well you cared for it and the condition you left it in. We'd love to welcome you back again, if you are travelling to Waterloo in the future. Regards Carol
Thank you Rita for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Hammer Haus II and I want to thank you for leaving the house in such great condition. Hopefully you'll consider us again next time you are in Waterloo. Regards Carol
one of the best equipped kitchens you will ever have with a VRBO rental and all the extra details such as lots of towels was appreciated. We will definitely stay there again if we are coming to Waterloo
The location is great. House is very comfortable and the hosts were very accommodating. Our only concern was there was a TV in each bedroom but none in the living/family room. The house is meant to be rented out as individual rooms hence the TV in each room and locks on each door. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable stay.

About the host
Hosted by Carol Hammer
We have had the privilege of travelling the world, visiting more than 35 countries during the last 10 years. In late 2018, we returned to Canada and started our guest rooms and suites at "Hammer Haus". Now, instead of travelling the world, the world is coming to us! We've enjoyed hosting guests from many countries including: England, Germany, Russia, Brazil, France, Ireland, Scotland, China, Korea, Australia, USA and many parts of Canada. We are delighted to share our home and gardens with our guests and hear about their travels. If you are interested in a "home away from home", Hammer Haus, Hammer Haus II or Hammer Haus III, is the perfect place!
