We came to visit family for Labor Day weekend. We fell in love with the little pink cottage online & it was even more beautiful in person. Our host thought of everything & the decor was so cute. There was an abundance of family games available in the living room, hygiene supplies in the bathroom, and even a few local drinks provided in the fridge. The A/C works great and will keep you comfy in the summer! We ended up needing to extend our stay by one day and contacted the host and were able to easily extend at the same price we had been receiving. Next time we need a place to stay hopefully this place will be available again!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Tanner

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Sarah! When I’m not busy welcoming guests and creating memorable stays at our short-term rentals, I’m a mom to two little ones and a dental hygienist by trade.

Hospitality has always been something I love, I enjoy creating spaces that feel thoughtful, comfortable, and like a true home away from home. As a host, I pay attention to the little details that make a stay special, from a cozy place to relax after exploring town to the extra touches that make guests feel welcomed.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me chasing after my kids, spending time with my family, or working with my dental patients. I’m passionate about our community and love sharing all the hidden gems, local restaurants, and experiences that make downtown Waterloo such a special place to visit.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us, I can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

What I love most about this space is the location! You’re right in the heart of downtown Waterloo, within walking distance of some of our favorite local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries, and boutiques. It’s the perfect spot to park your car and explore the area on foot.

We’re also just a short drive from many popular wedding venues, making this a convenient and comfortable home base for wedding guests, bridal parties, and weekend getaways. Whether you’re here for a celebration, a night out, or simply exploring the area, you’ll love being close to everything while still having a cozy place to relax.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the charm and personality you feel the moment you walk in. The whimsical pink cottage design, feminine touches, and cozy details make it a stay you won’t find just anywhere. It’s fun, memorable, and designed to feel like a true getaway.

One of our favorite features is that we also own the cottage next door, making it the perfect option for small groups, two families traveling together, or friends who want to stay close while still having their own private spaces.
