The tiny house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved waking up to the quiet countryside, enjoying our morning coffee outside, and taking in the beautiful surroundings. It was cozy without feeling cramped and offered the perfect balance of comfort and simplicity.

Amazing first couples vacation at the bunkie

The cabin was amazingly clean, the area was lovely and quiet. They had a sweet cat as the guardian who loved some attention and helped us not miss our pets so much. They had everything you could need in the cabin as well it was a perfect getaway 3

and rustic place but most wouldn’t return. There were a few things that didn’t make out stay as enjoyable as we would have liked. One major one being the property is located right off the main road and the cars and semi trucks Rd

Hi Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us—I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear that your stay didn’t feel as peaceful as you had hoped. Our bunkie is designed to be a cozy, rustic retreat close to nature, and while many guests do find it quiet and relaxing, I understand that sensitivity to road noise can vary from person to person. We always aim to be transparent about the setting so guests can choose what feels best for them, and guest comfort is very important to me. Thank you again for your stay, and I wish you all the best in your travels, Kelly

it was very clean. It would have been helpful to have seen how high the stairs where and how low the ceiling was in the bedroom as somebody tall or with limited mobility would have a very difficult time getting upstairs. As it was, we hit our head a couple of times on the beams. It would’ve been nice as the sun comes in bright in the morning to have curtains on the bedroom windows also. It was enjoyable to have an outdoor shower, but we were fortunate with having good weather. For the price, I think firewood should be included as it’s five dollars down the road and it seems like that would’ve been a nice added touch. The host kitty cat came by frequently which was an added bonus, but we had no idea what to call him or her. We were not aware that the only running water was in the shower, but we adapted quite easily and maybe that was included in the description and we missed it. The booklet provided was very informative and we did go down to the nearby restaurant for dinner and ice cream across the street. it was a great location to go rafting in the Elora Gorge, and to be able to visit the town of Elora. The hostess was easily available when we needed to text her about needing power and paper towels. The setting was lovely and we watched a beautiful sunset.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the outdoor shower, the sunsets, exploring Elora, and meeting Loki! I truly appreciate your feedback. My goal is always to provide guests with as much information as possible before they book. The listing includes a photo of the loft ladder, and both the listing and house manual mention the low loft beams, that the seasonal outdoor shower is the bunkie’s only running water source, and even introduce Loki by name. I always encourage guests to carefully review the listing details before booking to ensure the unique features of this rustic loft bunkie are the right fit for their stay. Curtains for the loft windows are currently being custom made, as the inward-opening windows require a unique solution. While I’d love to include complimentary firewood, supplying both firewood and kindling for every stay is a significant ongoing expense. To help keep accommodation rates competitive, firewood is available for purchase just down the road for guests who wish to enjoy a campfire. Thank you again for staying and for sharing your experience. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed your visit to Belwood and hope you made many wonderful memories.
