The property and our host were excellent. The house was super clean, well-equipped and in a wonderful location! Highly recommend, especially for guests attending weddings at the ElorA Mill.

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks so much for staying at our property!
A small group of ladies stayed at Jeffrey's place for two nights to enjoy the Twilight Christmas Market shopping event. It was an easy, short walk into town and when we weren't shopping, we had a lovely time enjoying drinks while watching Christmas movies by the cozy fireplace. We will be back!
The house was in a great location for our visit. We walked to downtown numerous times. The house had everything we needed and more. Lots of space and very easy entry and parking. Backyard was lovely. Would stay again.

Our group of 5 had a great time staying for a wedding at the Mill. Walking distance to downtown and a fantastic home for relaxing before and after the events. Very clean, tastefully decorated home. Would stay again!

Jeff was awesome. We had an amazing time in Elora because this house was literally walking distance to everything. We enjoyed the home very much. The backyard has an amazing layout.

A couple of busy moms needed a weekend away to rest, recharge and binge Netflix! This lovely little house in Elora was absolutely perfect. Spotless, well stocked, comfy beds, more space than we needed, and walking distance to restaurants and beautiful downtown Elora. Highly recommend this property!

Thanks Penelope, so glad you enjoyed your getaway weekend and our house was exactly what you were looking for!
All the best,

Location was wonderful. Very well equipped. Not as clean as it should be - cobwebs and spiders in between windows and window screens were huge. Sleeps 8 but sofa bed in basement is very hard.

Thanks for your review. We strive to keep the house very clean for our guests, so thanks for pointing out the cobwebs. We have since done a window clean up and have taken care of this!

Took the family and mother-in-law to check out the Elora Xmas market on a Saturday night. Parking downtown can get sketchy so decided to rent a VRBO in town so we can walk to the market and have a place for the mother-in-law to lie down. Family enjoyed watching TV cuddled by the fireplace on the comfy couches in the living room. Eldest son took over the basement. Place was very clean and has everything you need.

Thank you Ray for the great review. Happy to hear you enjoyed the stay, and of course we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. Yes, the gas fireplace is a nice treat on these colder nights!

This cottage is very convenient to be able to walk everywhere in Elora.
The home itself is charming, the beds are very comfortable with excellent quality sparkling white sheets and duvets and good quality pillows. Bathrooms were spotless and well equipped. The owner, was charming and very quick to answer questions, when we mentioned the basement bedroom was chilly, an electric heater was delivered very promptly.
If I had to be negative about anything….the sofa’s in the living room are a little tired, and for three senior women with bad backs, sofa’s with better springs would be appreciated. The kitchen was clean and had everything we required for our three night stay. The fridge had quite a bit of food in it, which we found a little odd, and could have done with a good wipe down. That said, the cottage is lovely and so easy to access Elora, I would definitely stay there again.

Thank you Geri, we are happy you enjoyed the stay! The location of the house is indeed hard to beat!
Thank you for your comment regarding the sofas - they are on our list of upgrades required and hope to do so soon. And my apologies regarding the fridge. While we do typically leave some useful condiments in there, it should have been left in a cleaner state than what you have described. Otherwise, I am glad you found everything else comfortable and clean, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
