Hi! I’m Ayush, originally from India and now living in beautiful Waterloo, Ontario with my wife, son, and our playful Bernese Mountain Dog. We recently started our hosting journey and absolutely love meeting travelers from all walks of life. We’re committed to providing a clean, welcoming, and comfortable space so you can feel at home, whether you’re here to explore the area or just looking to unwind.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to nature. Located on Conservation Drive, our home is surrounded by green space, walking trails, and just minutes from Laurel Creek Conservation Area. It’s the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience—with shopping, restaurants, and downtown Waterloo just a short drive away. We love the quiet charm of this area and the easy access to both city life and outdoor adventure
What makes this property unique
Our property sits on a spacious lot with a large, private backyard that’s perfect for relaxing, enjoying a bonfire, or spending quality time with friends and family. The space is designed to feel cozy and homey, with thoughtful touches and essentials provided for your comfort. We’re pet-friendly and happy to welcome pets and we aim to create an experience that feels more like staying with friends than a typical rental.
