The location was excellent. Walked to Mill St. was only a few minutes over the foot bridge.Kitchen area was poorly lit,and a bit cramped. Lots of storage space. Spacious bathroom. Bed was not very comfortable and was low to the ground,which made it a bit difficult to get out of. The inside door to the room could have used a lock to feel a little more private and secure.

Impressed!

My mom and I had a wonderful stay at Christine's charming studio apartment! The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It's clear that Christine takes great pride in her hosting—she was warm, welcoming, and went out of her way to ensure we felt at home. From her helpful local tips to the little personal touches in the apartment, everything added up to a truly enjoyable experience. I’d absolutely recommend this lovely spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant stay. Thank you, Christine!

Great stay

This property is proof that all the best things come in small packages. The apartment was very well appointed and well equipped, it has everything you need. The location is super convenient, only steps away from the beautiful town of Elora. Christine, the host was easy to get hold of and very accommodating and friendly. I'd recommend packing ear plugs if you are likely to use the air conditioner - it works well but is quite loud. I would book again and highly recommend this property.

Gem In Elora

Absolute perfection. Almost don’t want to review and let the word out. Thoughtful amenities, beautiful space. So close to the village that we just parked and walked. Upon walking in, there was a diffuser going so instantly felt like we were stepping into a spa. Pictures on website are accurate. Space was private and very quiet. Killer location. Beautiful washroom and shower. Can’t wait to book again.

Overnight stay for wedding

The photo of the property attracted me right away. Bonus was the location. It is right across the street from the Wedding Chapel and a very short walk over the bridge to the Granary where the reception was held. The location could not have been more perfect. Parking was right in front of the apartment and it was lovely. The bathroom is gorgeous, The bedroom was spacious and well-appointed. The little sitting room and kitchen were lovely and there was plenty of room to put things away. Christine was a wonderful host and when we texted her that we were leaving early to have breakfast with the family, she said we could park the car there until breakfast was over. We didn't take her up on it because we had to drive to breakfast anyway. I would definitely recommend the Victoria Street Retreat as a perfect getaway.

Beautiful property in the heart of it all!

Had a fantastic at this charming property that was just steps away from the most lovely cafes, restaurants, shops and trails. The place itself was perfect. Everything one would need was provided including snacks, wine, beer, linens etc. The bed was extremely comfortable (I read a review that said it was on the floor which is not true - it’s simply a low profile bed) and the shower was amazing. My only disappointment was the stove didn’t work very well. I tried to make pasta one night and the water came to a boil once but then never again once the pasta was in. I’m not sure what the issue was but I ended up eating out instead at a wonderful Italian place down the street which was way better in the end anyways! If you’re considering this place definitely do it - I hope to be back again one day.

Location was excellent and unit was clean. The layout of the unit was awkward to say the least and the bed and bedding were substandard. The only outside sitting area was in the driveway, and the outdoor furniture was not the most comfortable. The photos in the ad do not reflect the actual condition of the unit. The unit is the converted garage attached to the left side of the house. The host was very polite and accomodating however.
