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!!!

Just Right

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.

More than 5 stars!!

The patio allowed us to enjoy some great times and create great memories with fabulous friends. Every amenity possible, and thoughtful touches - umbrellas which we needed, tourist pamphlets, bug sprays, great instructions clearly posted, a variety of coffee, groceries and stocked pantry. It was the perfect distance from the Stratford festival, which was the purpose for our visit. The home was impeccably cleaned and well styled. We were very comfortable the whole stay and the owners allowed us feel as though it could be our home away from home.

Just perfect!

We were attending a hockey tournament that was being held in Woodstock, and decided to combine that with some theatre in Stratford. This location provided a central location, as my husband also attended an antiques shop in Woodstock while I made a trip to St. Jacobs (we jam packed that long weekend!). This location made all these activities possible, while also providing a comfortable and calming location for our family to gather outdoors at the end of the days. The hosts were incredible and provided a variety of additional amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. Very detail oriented and thoughtful. In addition, I had to work on one of the days and the internet was more than capable to allow my to video conference into my meetings all day long. Highly recommend; we will be back ourselves!

We stayed for 3 nights at this wonderful cottage, to be close to St. Mary's Golf and Country Club for our daughter's wedding. Carly's attention to details are incredible. If you need something, I'm sure she has it in a basket somewhere near by. The cottage is very comfortable inside and out. The cleanliness was impeccable. We had outdoor games to play, a fire table, a natural fire and lots of comfortable outdoor seating to use. The cottage was spacious and the beds are very comfortable. She made us feel very welcome from the minute we opened the door. I only wished we had more time to relax and enjoy. Carly's communication was quick and easy and she was willing to accommodate me any way that she could. Hoping we can book again sometime. Thanks Carly for a wonderful stay!!!

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!

Simply wonderful

Carly and James have thought of so many details that make one feel at home. From utensils, cookware, tin foil, salt, some staples in the cupboards, the toiletry items we forget or run out of when traveling, to caring comfort items like waterproof blankets for the outdoor deck furniture. Their home is immaculate. Their instructions and helpful advice about the area are so helpful. It was a joy to make the quick 10 minute drive past farms to see our daily performances at the Stratford festival. (It really is a 10 minute straight one road drive to the festival. We arrived exhausted from work and travel. We left feeling rested and restored after a week’s stay. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

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.

Perfect Getaway - Clean and Fully Furnished!

Our family recently stayed at this beautiful VRBO property and couldn't be happier with our experience. The home was impeccably clean and every room was thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen was a standout feature, equipped with all the cooking amenities anyone could want, from high-quality cookware to a variety of utensils and spices. The property offered a charming country feel, providing a peaceful retreat. Despite the setting, it was just a short distance to Stratford, making it easy to enjoy the theaters and downtown area. This place truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely come back and stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, well-furnished, and conveniently located place to stay!

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!
