Cute, cozy house in Guelph, perfect for friends and family

This was the perfect place for my friends and I! We came into town for an event and needed somewhere to stay for the night. The house was very cozy and comfortable, perfect for a group of friends to spend some time together! The beds were comfortable, house was very clean. The living area was large and open with cozy couches and chairs. We all had nothing but amazing things to say about this house. The host was also very accommodating, supportive with the booking process and always available if needed. We would love to come back next time we are staying in Guelph.

About the host

Hosted by Oliver M-L

I'm Oliver, and I hail from the vibrant city of Guelph. My passion for hospitality and ensuring a memorable experience for our guests is deeply rooted in the love and care our family has poured into our property. Alongside my partner, parents, and aunt, we've co-owned and nurtured this Guelph gem, making it a haven for travelers. When I'm not hosting, you can find me exploring Guelph's rich arts & music scene or socializing with friends. Being a host allows me to share a piece of our world with you, and I'm always available for any assistance or to offer local insights.

Why they chose this property

Our property is nestled in a neighbourhood that blends history and modernity. Being right beside Victory Public School and a stone's throw away from Exhibition Park, the location offers both convenience and charm. What truly drew us to this area is its rich heritage, evident in the iconic limestone structures and the sense of community it fosters. It's a locale favoured by young families and working professionals, making it lively yet serene. Whether it's the bustling local events or the tranquil garden views, there's always something to cherish in this neighbourhood.

What makes this property unique

Our property is more than just a dwelling; it's a testament to Guelph's rich history. Constructed around 1862, the limestone structure stands as a symbol of timeless elegance. The property boasts two distinct dwellings, both echoing the charm of local limestone architecture, complemented by hardwood floors and original trim. Unique features like the expansive front porch connecting both units add to its allure. The outdoor space is equally captivating, with gardens teeming with flora and a vast fenced-in backyard perfect for outdoor dining. But what truly sets our property apart is the blend of its historic essence with modern amenities, ensuring guests experience the best of both worlds.
