You will find your stay relaxing. We are in an older, quiet residential area between Fergus and Elora. A 2-5 minute car ride gets you to many amenities and events. If you're up for a walk, the museum, trails, the river and the Quarry are within a 10 minute walk from our home. Ask us for information on bicycle rentals. Snowshoes and a map of trails can be rented from the museum 500m down the road! We can also direct you to ice climbing instruction and river rafting. There are lots of fun things to do here! We are on a well and septic thus we are conscious of water use. We share the U shaped driveway with the neighbour allowing for drive through access to the road when the centre lane of the driveway is open. When there is snow, we wait until the neighbour has cleared their half of the driveway down to the pavement before using it.
