Impressed!

My mom and I had a wonderful stay at Christine's charming studio apartment! The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It's clear that Christine takes great pride in her hosting—she was warm, welcoming, and went out of her way to ensure we felt at home. From her helpful local tips to the little personal touches in the apartment, everything added up to a truly enjoyable experience. I’d absolutely recommend this lovely spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant stay. Thank you, Christine!

One night on Victoria Street

This is the perfect option for a night/long weekend in Elora. Walking distance to restaurants, the Mill etc. Christine was a great host, responsive and thoughtful (ensuring the driveway was cleared despite a snowstorm). Highly recommend the Victoria Street Retreat.

Elora Christmas market weekend

The place was immaculate and a very short walk to the market and main street shops. When the keurig coffee maker acted up, the host was right over with another coffee maker and excellent coffee. Would 100% recommend this place if you're visiting Elora.
