Phenomenal Stay - Can't Say Enough Great Things

Stayed here for 3 nights, in Kitchener for a business trade show. Asked ahead of arrival for MANY favours (accept deliveries, send pictures of amenities etc.) and the host was beyond gracious and accommodating. Actual accommodations are comfortable and inviting, neighbourhood was an added bonus with park nearby.This VRBO host was THE BEST that I have ever dealt with. I can't recommend this place highly enough!!

Lovely stay!

The Willow Suite was a great stay for my partner and our dogs! Here for a wedding so the place allowed us to keep our dogs close and getting ready was a breeze with how clean the place is and the awesome amenities. Location was perfect for dog owners, great for walks. Kristy was super helpful and quick when we had troubles with a sticking door. Very comfy bed and sheets.

Charming Stay in great location

The Willow Suite is newly renovated, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kristy is a super-host and I loved the approachable and great communication during the stay. Location is supreme across from Victoria Park, which it's a gorgeous nature outing; and 5min walk from downtown Kitchener. I would definitely want to stay here again next time I visit my daughter at University in Waterloo.

Fantastic Stay!

Our upper suite was the perfect spot for a small-town get-away; it was fitted with everything we needed and had lovely stylish touches to make our stay comfy and enjoyable. It’s also in a great area of Kitchener, right beside the city park which made for lovely evening strolls. Elora and Fergus were also close by for day visits. I would highly recommend this suite to anyone!

Always my first choice

My husband and I stay in KW multiple times per year, and this property is always our first choice. Clean, comfortable, well appointed and quiet. We are just close enough to the downtown core to walk there in 10-15 min, but far enough that it is quiet and relaxing.

The perfect place!

I stayed in that place almost two weeks. The pace is clean, quiet and cozy. All needed is there. It is close do downtown. My dogs and I enjoyed the most the easy access to the BEAUTIFULL park just steps away. I would definitely stayed again :-) Pete

Excellent space, so comfortable

The apartment is beautiful and has all the things you need for a comfortable getaway. The shower is super nice, and the bedding really comfortable. My only real issue is with VRBO's app not giving the option to show Canadian dollars on Canadian rentals, but that is not the host's fault.

Visit friends in KW area

We came KW area to visit friends in the St Jacobs area. The room was up a fairly long flight of outdoor stairs which were very sturdy. No issue, just so everyone is aware that all luggage and such needs to be toted up. The unit was newly remodeled and in very very nice condition. It was setup very nicely and had everything we needed. We walked around Victoria Park over to the nearest Starbucks and felt very safe. I highly recommend this unit.

The Willow is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting Kitchener for a short or long time. Kristy is a responsive host and has attention to details. The Willow is located next to Victoria Park and walking and biking trails. Perfect for the active visitor.

This was my second stay here, and it was comfortable again. Love the decor. The kitchen is well stocked for us to cook, and it comes with a Brita filter - extra nice given how much I don't like Kitchener tall water.

About the host

Hosted by Kristy

Hey! I'm your host, Kristy!

My husband & I have been buying REALLY old homes in the Kitchener-Waterloo area over the past couple of years (our oldest house so far being built in 1880!) and we fully renovate them ourselves!!

We buy them, pour our heart + souls into them, and then create really unique, perfectly small, high end units that we can share with YOU!

Come check out our brand new, old Suites :)

What makes this property unique

One thing I absolutely love about this property is that it is in one of Kitchener's historic districts. Although this comes with it's challenges for renovations (needing to follow the historic guidelines can be tough sometimes), it's also really unique and builds a story into our renovation project.
