About this property

The Cozy Loft - Gem in the city

Welcome to your cozy countryside escape, just minutes from the heart of Waterloo! This charming 2-bedroom suite offers the peaceful vibe of a cottage with the convenience of city access. Nestled on a quiet rural road, you’ll enjoy a serene setting with a spacious backyard and tree-lined views, all while being just over 5 minutes from the University of Waterloo and under 10 minutes to Wilfrid Laurier University, St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, and Conestoga Mall.

This private, two-story front unit of a duplex features its own separate entrance, a covered front porch, and a large, beautifully green backyard, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a morning coffee. The suite blends rustic charm with modern touches, including newly installed high-speed internet (~500mbps) for remote work or streaming.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming interior with cottage-style accents and a unique loft-style upper bedroom, where the walls don’t fully reach the ceiling, adding to the open, airy feel. Your private deck with outdoor seating makes it easy to soak up the surrounding nature in comfort.

You’ll have full private access to the front unit.While the rear unit is rented separately, each suite has complete privacy, including individual decks and entrances with spacious backyard. Shared driveway parking is available.
A vehicle is recommended, as the nearest bus stop is about a 2km walk.

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

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.
