We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It was so charming, clean, and the host Sophie was incredible! Very short walk to downtown and directly across from the farmers market and river walk. We highly recommend staying here! Thank you so much Sophie!

The owner has thought of every detail to make her guests comfortable...she is the ultimate hostess! Her hospitality only adds to the magical experience of visiting beautiful Elora! We have stayed at both the studio and apartment over our visits the last 4 years and they have always provided the perfect escape. We have just gotten home and already looking forward to our next stay!

Our stay at Sophie’s Studio was a perfect getaway. The space was the perfect size and we made use of the kitchen and living areas. We brought our little Yorkie and it was so easy to take her outside in the beautiful backyard. We were able to walk to downtown area and visited the Centre for the Arts right across the street. We would definitely visit Sophie’s Studio and Elora again.

Can’t say enough about the host, the property, and the location. We had family friends from US stay here for our daughter’s wedding and they said definitely a 10/10…this coming from well-healed, well-travelled folks! We recommend the Victorian and the Studio wholeheartedly!

We started our holiday with a four night stay at the studio and it was like staying inside a piece of art. So beautifully designed and uniquely decorated with the side benefits if being extremely self contained, very clean. The kitchen was well supplied. The outside was very private and quite lovely for sitting out. Nice walking areas and downtown was minutes awayHost was easy to communicate with.

It was a beautiful room, clean, had everything you need in it. Parking was good. Very easy to get to stores, restaurants you could walk to and nice park across the street from where we live. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best so we were not able to enjoy sitting out on the porch. But was a quiet and restful weekend.

The studio is beautiful, immaculate and feels like a page out of a storybook. Sophie has done a great job making it both dreamy and yet functional. Check in and check out is smooth, all amenities and essentials are provided. The kitchen has enough utensils for you to bake a cake in if you wish to!The gardens are well maintained and provide natural privacy. Bissell park is across the street and downtown Elora is a short walkaway. The fact that it is dog friendly is a big bonus, my dog had a great time staying here!

Another fantastic stay! The studio is just as special as the Victorian. Comfortable bed, amazing shower and a fully equipped kitchen. We especially appreciated the cozy outdoor spaces. Our host Sophie was so accommodating and friendly. This is a fantastic home away from home in the prettiest village in Ontario.

Beautiful Elora Getaway

My family had an incredible stay. The studio was clean, artistically decorated and had everything we needed. It is a short walk to all the shops and restaurants. The garden and private patio area make the stay so relaxing. We hope to be back again soon.
