The Simple Escape

Surrounded by Nature’s Beauty
Welcome to your peaceful retreat, nestled beside a serene ravine and tranquil pond.

Use the space to lounge in the living room, take advantage of the WiFi to stay connected, feel free to bring some folding chairs to relax in the back, take some time to observe the ravine or just enjoy the stars. This home is the perfect spot for your trip if you enjoy simple pleasures. It's easy to see why you'll be able to unwind at our place.

We care deeply about maintaining a high standard of comfort for our guests and appreciate your understanding of the balance between a well-kept home and the charm of a natural environment.

I was on business in the Kitchener/Cambridge area and this home was perfect for my needs. A quiet. Well appointed and clean space to decompress and get work done.

It’s a comfortable, clean space love the ambiance. However getting to the entrance and operating the lock is problematic in the evening for late checking in. The pavers-walkway are not well laid which could result in a fall and the outside walkway to the entrance is not not well lit. Stephanie is a good hostess. I enjoyed being there. I will stay there in my future visit to the area.

Me and my partner stayed here for just under 3 weeks. I found the place lovely and comfortable for what we needed. The place was clean and everything easy to use. Only issue I would say is to have a bigger frying pan for cooking or a 2nd one. The host Stephanie I felt was brilliant she checked in with us to see if there was anything she could do to help. The location is quiet with fantastic running/walking trails but is also not far from the shops and restaurants. I would recommended this place for a quiet stay where you can use it as a hub to travel around.
