Sophie's Studio Apartment in Elora was fabulous! it had everything we needed and more. The space was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. She thought of everything, and then some. We enjoyed sitting on the porch at night after a day exploring the area. Shops and restaurants were easily walkable and Sophie very helpful suggesting what to see and do. We'll be back!

Fantastic studio close to everything in Elora

We had a awesome stay at the Studio apartment which had a fabulous shower and everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Relaxing space inside and outside the studio. We enjoyed that it was within walking distance of a park to walk the dogs and restaurants, coffee shops and food shopping.

The Studio is an airy welcoming space, well appointed and the shower water pressure is excellent. We stayed in early June, and in the late afternoon sun from a large round window scattered little mini rainbows across a wall. The property is expertly landscaped with places to sit and whimsical touches like a fairytale wrought iron gate. The host offered timely and helpful suggestions about things to do. The location is fantastic, close to the heart of the action but with just enough distance to be a retreat. It’s also across from a park with good foot access to the river and a farmer’s market on Saturday mornings which we happened to overlap with. Absolutely no hesitation about staying there again.

peaceful, cozy getaway

a very nice, comfortable, cozy studio in a great location. It is close to restaurants, the main street in the village, a hiking trail and a lovely little riverside park. All the amenities are provided, including dog supplies, cooking supplies, a nice shower with soap and shampoo etc. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning in each season (spring, summer, fall and winter) in 2025!

The property was just beautiful. It felt so secluded and private. In the gardens we saw birds a chipmunk and even a cute rabbit. It felt like we where out in nature.Inside the studio was beautiful. The decor was very eclectic. The bed was very comfortable and nice bedding. The studio was spotless, very warm and welcoming.Sophie had pamphlets showing you what was happening in town and even let us know about the farmer's market that was on just across the street. Couldn't have asked for a better host. There if you needed her but gave you your privacy also. She has a book out for you when you arrive to give you the history of how she came to live in Elora and the journey behind it. Such a nice touch we thought and very inspiring. You can't beat the location either. You can walk to almost everything. This is a great bonus because as we noticed parking can be very challenging in town. Plus you get to enjoy the beauty of the area walking close up.We highly recommend staying at the Studio.Thank you for making our 40th Anniversary so special Sophie we will be back.
Hello if you want a special place to stay we highly recommend the Studio.
On the porch enjoying the surroundings while ready the documents Sophie left about the Studio etc..
Loved having this door so you could still enjoy the outside view and fresh air while being inside at night.

A little piece of heaven!

Sophie, our host, was amazing! She has thought of every little detail which made our stay truly feel like our home away from home. Her property is right in the center of all that is beautiful, all that is community, all that is right about Elora! And yet when you enter and close the door behind you, or sit in the gardens, serenity and beauty are the first emotions you feel. She is an absolutely wonderful host and we will be back for sure! Thank you, Sophie!

Perfect Elora Getaway

Sophie’s little cottage is absolutely stunning, even better than pictured. So many thoughtful details, stylish, immaculate, and very comfortable for a couple. A short walk to shops and restaurants, this is the perfect place to stay. The gardens are beautiful and we were happy to enjoy the afternoons relaxing in such a peaceful place. Communication with Sophie was great. Highly recommend this little gem!

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Hogan

Host profile image
I've lived in the sweet village of Elora for over 30 years and raised my daughter in our historical Victorian home. I'm a portrait photographer by trade as well as an avid gardener. Creating inviting spaces both indoors and in the garden is one of my visual passions that I hope you will be able to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The Private Studio is a totally separate building from my home and is walking distance to everything downtown. The Elora Mill, Bissell Park with the Saturday morning Elora Market, the Elora Centre for the Arts with a lively calendar of events and the beautiful Elora Gorge.

So if you like to be in the hub of things, this is your spot to visit.

What makes this property unique

The Studio Apartment is a working photography studio that easily converts
into a spacious living environment with the help of a comfortable Queen size bed.
The barrel vaulted ceilings are 16 feet high and provide an airy feel inside 550 sq ft of well designed living/working space. A reading nook doubles as a space for a child to sleep as it is about the size of single bed and is quite comfortable.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans along with basic spices. Kettle, coffee press, toaster and smoothie maker are available along with serving set up for four.

Guests have full use of the newly built Pergola area in the back garden which was specifically designed for the Studio guests.
