Guests have full access to the Cottage minus the basement and upstairs closet which are dedicated to our cleaning staff and therefore locked. We do provide some basic cleaning supplies for guests should the need arise.
Outside guests have full access to the garden areas surrounding the Cottage and sitting areas. The fire pit on the other side of the fence can also be used by guests, just let us know if you’re interested so we can have local wood set aside for you. The back garden area and garage/barn on the property are reserved for the owner’s use when guests are not visiting.
We live nearby so let us know if there is anything you need, we are happy to help.
Our cottage is located at a main crossroad in a tiny farm community. The downtown Stratford restaurants, shops and smaller theatres are only a 7 minute drive away. There is also a small nature conservation area with walking trail only 500 feet from our home.
There is a large parking area for up to 5 vehicles with room to turn around.
We are in one of Stratford’s tiny farm communities so there is sometimes farm equipment, tractors and some road traffic at certain times of the day. We have a large parking area that guests can turn around in rather than backing out onto the roadway for everyone’s safety.

About the host
Hosted by Carly Harnadek
We've been hosting for over 3 years and have loved welcoming so many wonderful guests! While we're not Stratford natives, we’ve fallen in love with the charm of this town—so much so, we've moved here twice!
As a family with five kids, we truly understand the importance of a stress-free, well-equipped place to land. Our travels taught us how valuable comfort and thoughtful touches can be. That’s what inspired us to create warm, welcoming stays—both at our countryside Cottage and our tranquil Suite in town.
We love gardening, growing colorful flowers and fresh veggies, and dreaming up new projects to make each space even more special. We hope you feel right at home here, just as we do.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the rich history of Harmony—the Cottage was once part of an inn that served a hamlet with two working mills. You’ll spot little nods to that past in the décor, with curated trinkets and stories tucked throughout. Harmony was once poised to be the hub of Perth county, well until the Grand Trunk Railroad came through. Today it thrives as a farm community with rolling hills and creeks carving out the land.
You can get a taste of the area from our Neighbour's farm stand called Harmony Rooted - fresh eggs and beef!
What makes this property unique
The name of the hamlet - Harmony - said it all. With over an 1/2 acre of land available to guests, peaceful countryside views, and big-horned cattle nearby, it offered the rural feel we craved—while being just minutes from Stratford’s lively downtown and world-class theatre. The perfect balance of Harmony!
