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.

Beautiful Elora Getaway

My family had an incredible stay. The studio was clean, artistically decorated and had everything we needed. It is a short walk to all the shops and restaurants. The garden and private patio area make the stay so relaxing. We hope to be back again soon.

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!

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!

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!

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.

It was a beautiful room, clean, had everything you need in it. Parking was good. Very easy to get to stores, restaurants you could walk to and nice park across the street from where we live. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best so we were not able to enjoy sitting out on the porch. But was a quiet and restful weekend.

The studio is beautiful, immaculate and feels like a page out of a storybook. Sophie has done a great job making it both dreamy and yet functional. Check in and check out is smooth, all amenities and essentials are provided. The kitchen has enough utensils for you to bake a cake in if you wish to!The gardens are well maintained and provide natural privacy. Bissell park is across the street and downtown Elora is a short walkaway. The fact that it is dog friendly is a big bonus, my dog had a great time staying here!
