I was on business in the Kitchener/Cambridge area and this home was perfect for my needs. A quiet. Well appointed and clean space to decompress and get work done.

It’s a comfortable, clean space love the ambiance. However getting to the entrance and operating the lock is problematic in the evening for late checking in. The pavers-walkway are not well laid which could result in a fall and the outside walkway to the entrance is not not well lit. Stephanie is a good hostess. I enjoyed being there. I will stay there in my future visit to the area.

Me and my partner stayed here for just under 3 weeks. I found the place lovely and comfortable for what we needed. The place was clean and everything easy to use. Only issue I would say is to have a bigger frying pan for cooking or a 2nd one. The host Stephanie I felt was brilliant she checked in with us to see if there was anything she could do to help. The location is quiet with fantastic running/walking trails but is also not far from the shops and restaurants. I would recommended this place for a quiet stay where you can use it as a hub to travel around.
