Relaxing retreat in the country
A great country property nestled up against a forested area. This was once a barn that has been converted into the wonderful space that it is today. A small screened in patio off the back to enjoy the mornings. Wonderful hiking trails located just a 2 minute walk away. A common draw to the area is the world famous Stratford festival just a short 15 minute drive away. This is a great retreat from the city. The Country Nook is right beside our house. But offers a ton of privacy. If you have any questions or need something please don't hesitate to knock or send us a message. There is no cellphone service but wifi calling allows your cellphone to work normally. With your opening message will send you how to use it. Please note we have 2 large dogs who are confined to our property via an Invisible Fence System. They do roam our property but are not permitted in the retreat unit. If you wish to meet them please let us know. Finally, we have security cameras that face the drive way and nook entrance. They do not look into the unit itself and are there to monitor the property only.

We revisited the Country Nook for our wedding anniversary again and loved it. Games, movies, a quiet restaurant meal nearby and even snowshoeing. Clean, quiet and nature. Thank you Kevin and Allison!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! Everything was thoughtfully prepared and truly exceeded our expectations. From hygiene essentials like cotton buds and floss, to a fully equipped kitchen stocked with basics like oil, salt, and pepper—every detail was considered. The cabin itself is immaculate and instantly felt like a home away from home.
Entertainment options were fantastic, with a great selection of board games and even a console to enjoy during downtime. The picnic table outside was a lovely touch—perfect for a BBQ or simply enjoying a meal surrounded by nature.
One of the highlights was meeting one of their sweet and playful dogs, who instantly became a favorite companion for our child. Speaking of which, our little one had the time of their life here, and so did we.
The location is great too—peaceful and cozy, yet just a short drive to Stratford if you're in the mood for exploring or being around people.
We would absolutely love to return. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and memorable space!

We had a relaxing time here and loved how thoughtful the hosts were in this renovated barn. It's beautiful! We were lucky to have tons of snow around and the hosts offered to lend us snow shoes. This was a magical experience! We got a little lost finding the trail but were rescued swiftly by our host. Kitchen is well stocked for anything.

Super cute, clean and modern cabin. Only 10 min drive to Stratford. For a family of 4, we didn't mind the size for a 2 night stay. Check-in was easy, cabin had everything we needed. I would recommend this place!

Overall an amazing experience not too far from the GTA. Although close to the owners property, You barely notice after a while and you will not be bothered. Owners are extremely responsive and exceeded our expectations in what was provided.

My husband and I spent three nights during our time in Stratford to see some plays. It was a lovely spot outside of town but still close enough to access everything needed within ten minutes or so. We enjoyed the comfort and peace and quiet. The hiking trail just up the road was an unexpected bonus! We'd definitely stay here again.

The cabin was perfect for the three of us -- a couple and our friend -- because the two large bedrooms gave us privacy from each other. The cabin is equipped with everything one could conceivably need, right down to extra toothbrushes. It is stylishly decorated, bright, clean, and comfortable.
