This property was wonderful. Clean, spacious, and well equipped. We are a group of 4 older sisters and the property was perfect for our yearly get away. Quiet area. Only a few steps away from the park which had a walking path. Very well equipped kitchen. Big fridge, wine fridge, lots of kitchen tools and supplies. It was too hot and humid to spend much time outdoors, but the deck is lovely and looks out to an open area at the back. Bathrooms are well equipped with lots of towels, soap and shampoo and conditioner Paul was a wonderful host, and dealt with any communication very promptly. We loved our stay and will return to this property.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Samuel

Kitchener native with a passion for travel, design, and hospitality. Former business owner in the automotive and graphics industry. My journey from entrepreneurship led me to merge interests in travel, real estate, and interior design.

I've transformed my home using creative techniques like vinyl wrap on walls and kitchen surfaces. DIY projects, including the TV wall entertainment unit, the master bedroom bed, and the dining room table, reflect my love for hands-on creativity.

A devoted car enthusiast/traveller and foodie!

I find joy in exploring the world and discovering homes with unique potential. My vision is to expand my Airbnb portfolio, sharing these distinctive spaces with guests who appreciate personalized, curated experiences. Join me in creating memories in these carefully crafted havens!

Why they chose this property

Within a 5-minute walk, explore trails along the Grand River, including forest trails and hiking paths. Whether walking, biking, or enjoying a scenic stroll with your dog, there's something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Discover unique features in this home designed for hosting and culinary delights. The expansive deck, personally crafted with inground seating, 3 BBQs, and a firepit, offers a perfect setting under the stars.
