What a lovely & peaceful retreat we enjoyed! The property is a serene & quiet oasis - perfectly suited for relaxing, & Carol is an attentive host who made us feel so welcome!
Everything was wonderful!
Top notch choice for a girls weekend. Close proximity to St Jacobs for market and theatre. Trail right beside the property. Cozy, clean, spacious and a beautiful backyard setting.
We enjoyed our stay and will gladly return. This home is very comfortable and in a quiet residential neighborhood. Carol’s gardens are lovely and our grand daughter enjoyed being included in feeding the fish. There is a walking trail in the conservation area next to the home.
All the furniture including beds, sofas and outdoor deck furniture are very comfortable!
VBRO list this as an entire house rental, but it is helpful to know the owner lives on site in the lower walk out level. The rental’s large covered deck is your private space but the yard is shared, which makes sense when you see how extensive the garden area is.
I stayed here with my husband and in-laws to celebrate our kid's graduation. The place really couldn't be better--the accommodations are superb, the bed spoiled me, it was so comfortable! The backyard with its covered patio, koi-filled ponds and shady lawn was like a private park. Carol was a perfect host, very accommodating and never intrusive.
This place was so nice that our kid and their friends wanted to come celebrate with us and we had a feast on the back patio.
The forest behind the house is lovely, too. The house is a short drive to the farmer's market and downtown Waterloo. It was perfect in every way!
We have had the privilege of travelling the world, visiting more than 35 countries during the last 10 years. In late 2018, we returned to Canada and started our guest house "Hammer Haus". Now, instead of travelling the world, the world is coming to us! We've enjoyed hosting guests from many countries including: England, Germany, Russia, Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Scotland, China, Korea, Australia, USA and many parts of Canada. We are delighted to share our home and gardens with our guests and hear about their travels. If you are interested in a "home away from home", Hammer Haus is the perfect place!
