AMAZING place to stay!

This property is clean, organized and extremely comfortable, as well as beautifully decorated. This was our 2nd time here and we loved it again. Breakfast being included is a huge bonus. Bedding & beds were so comfortable that we didn't want to get up! Location is fantastic, so close to Stratford. The hosts are very attentive. We're hoping to book again for next winter. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay very much. There was a lot to do in the house when we weren’t out in Stratford. The location is very convenient. Appreciated the stocked kitchen with everything we needed including some basic pantry items. Highly recommend and would stay here again if we are in the area again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carly and James home. It was clean, comfortable, and pretty. There was lots of room for everyone and we had our immediate family Christmas in their home on Sunday. It was so nice to have a full kitchen and living room. They also had a little table and chairs for the 3 little ones. They had many amenities and it really felt like home. They also provided games for the kids and had a Christmas tree. We definitely will stay there again!

Hosts were wonderful and responsive and accessing the place was a breeze. We had a lovely family weekend away here and would book again. Located just a quick jaunt away from Stratford was perfect.

How great not to have to worry about the facilities you are booking. This is our second time booking this cottage and plan to rebook a 3rd time if/when we make it out to the Stratford Festival next year. Great location - so close to downtown, clean, spacious, comfortable beds and bedding, two bathrooms, fully stocked pantry and refrigerator, laundry facility, outdoor patio and so much more. I love this place.

Fantastic stay

It was a pleasure staying at this little farm house just a few minutes outside Stratford. The owners were kind enough to stock the fridge for our late arrival and the kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed, plus extras in case of forgotten items. The beds were comfortable and the towels soft. Couldn’t say enough nice things about our stay!

Nice & clean property, kitchen well suited for family brunch before heading into Stratford for an afternoon play. Must have car, closest corner store is several kms away, but there’s ample parking for multiple cars in the driveway. Door-to-door drive to theatres is actually less than 10min

Very nice property near Stratford, the Great Lakes an Niagara

Arriviung at the holiday home we were so lucky to find a nice and cosy home, prettty well furnished and inviting even with fresh flowers on the table and a good selection of food for the hungry travellers. The contact with the owners, dear Carly, was easy and we felt welcomed immediately. So we could enjoy each day travelling around to nice places like Niagara, Erie- and Huronlake, Pinery, and of course the Straford Festival Theatre showing Romeo and Juliet - brilliant!!!

Our stay at Carly's VRBO was extremely pleasant. She has thought of everything possible to make guests comfortable; even stocking the fridge with basic necessities. While we did not eat any snacks, these were also readily available. Very clean, very comfortable; temperature just right. Highly recommend.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We've been hosting for over 3 years and have loved welcoming so many wonderful guests! I'm originally from Windsor, and my husband grew up on a dairy farm in Wellington County. 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, including a son with special needs, 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!
