Our Bed & Breakfast is a cozy, private basement apartment located within our family home, where we live upstairs with our small dog, Neymar. You’ll have your own spacious retreat with exclusive access to our saltwater infinity pool (available in summer) and hot tub (year round). Our property is tucked away in a quiet, private spot, yet just minutes from downtown Elora, where you’ll find charming shops, restaurants, and the famous Elora Gorge. It’s the ideal mix of comfort, privacy, and convenience.
Please note: The heated outdoor pool is available until September 30. The pool is closed for the winter season starting October 1.

Perfect spot for a girls weekend or quiet getaway! The host was fantastic and the property was very private and cozy and well thought out for the comfort of the guests. I would stay here again and highly recommend it!
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property. The decor and landscaping were beautiful. We enjoying sitting by the pool in such lovely surroundings so much that we canceled our plans for the day because we didn’t want to leave. The host answered all of our questions immediately and was extremely helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The treats set out for our arrival were delicious and made us feel even more welcome. We will definitely return to this amazing property and will recommend it to our friends and family.

About the host
Hosted by Natasha Christina Marx-Veldman
Hi, I’m Natasha! I was born in Canada but raised in the Netherlands, and in 2011, my family and I moved back to Canada with our three boys. Now that they’ve grown and moved out, I’m excited to share our space and welcome guests from near and far.
I love taking care of people and making sure they feel completely at home during their stay. Our little dog, Neymar, will likely greet you with a wagging tail and lots of charm! Hosting gives me the joy of creating a cozy, welcoming environment where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy your time.
