Waterloo Stay

We enjoyed our stay and will gladly return. This home is very comfortable and in a quiet residential neighborhood. Carol’s gardens are lovely and our grand daughter enjoyed being included in feeding the fish. There is a walking trail in the conservation area next to the home. All the furniture including beds, sofas and outdoor deck furniture are very comfortable! VBRO list this as an entire house rental, but it is helpful to know the owner lives on site in the lower walk out level. The rental’s large covered deck is your private space but the yard is shared, which makes sense when you see how extensive the garden area is.

Thank you Sheri for your lovely review. We are delighted your family enjoyed the house and the gardens. It was especially fun having your grand daughter feed the fish with me. Kids seem to enjoy seeing their bright colors and how they gobble up their food! We would be thrilled to welcome you back in the future. Regards - Carol & Andre

A welcoming oasis in Waterloo

I stayed here with my husband and in-laws to celebrate our kid's graduation. The place really couldn't be better--the accommodations are superb, the bed spoiled me, it was so comfortable! The backyard with its covered patio, koi-filled ponds and shady lawn was like a private park. Carol was a perfect host, very accommodating and never intrusive. This place was so nice that our kid and their friends wanted to come celebrate with us and we had a feast on the back patio. The forest behind the house is lovely, too. The house is a short drive to the farmer's market and downtown Waterloo. It was perfect in every way!
