Hi Khristina,
Thanks for your amazing review! We love to hear that the Rainforest Suite was everything you could have hoped and you appreciated the decor. We'd be more than happy to host you again when you're back in Elora!
This is our third stay at the Pillars, and the first through VRBO. Kelly always does a great job making you feel welcome and the location is amazing. Once you arrive, there is no need to drive around for the rest of your stay, everything in town is walking distance. We were able to visit the cute Christmas market and had a great meal or two in town.Definitely make reservations for dinner and Breakfast/brunch for weekend stays well in advance, everywhere was booked up, but Kelly reminded us with enough time to get into a few places.The space is cozy and inviting, and is always super clean and ready for new visitors at each stay.Thanks again Kelly, we will definitely be back.
Kelly made sure the space was very welcoming upon our arrival. Beautiful spacious rental and wonderful location-close to downtown Elora shops. Went above and beyond to supply us with last minute things needed for cooking dinner.
