Host was great made us feel so welcome. Showing the wonderful 5 star property. So much more to do. We stayed one day only.
Posted on Michelle Djurdjica's place was stunning. the decor was different and a Scandinavian charm to it. We were met by D upon arrival who was lovely and showed us around the house. We unfortunately could not use the hot tub due to maintenance but it was communitcated ahead of time for us to understand what to expect. The place was spotless, beds were extremely comfortable, fireplace and living areas were lovely for a cozy night of watching movies.We had a wonderful time and would absolutely love to rebook here in the summer when all amenities are available for use.Thank you for having us and thank you for being a great host. We loved the space so much.Posted on Andreas Great place! Cool house and wonderful host!Posted on Nadia Amazing place to stay . So beautiful and amazing attention to detail to make the experience so nice . Perfect location and beautiful property .Posted on Leigh-Anne Such a unique and comfortable spot for my family. We were in for one night as we had a wedding in Elora. But quickly wished we were staying longer.Clean, comfortable and fun!Djurdjica was a very attentive and friendly host, highly recommended.Posted on Jamie My wife and I stayed here for a week at the end of August to celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time and made good use of the pool, hot tub, sauna, and propane grill. We were met onsite by our host when we checked in, and she was very responsive for any questions we had during our stay. The property is very close to downtown Elora which has a number of great restaurants. Internet WiFi speed was great and allowed me to get some work done while I was there. The home layout was very interesting and certainly could've handled more people than just the two of us.Posted on Emily We had a wonderful stay! A unique home, full of beautiful things made our girls weekend feel so special! Close to downtown, yet feels tucked away in the forest! Clean and spacious, we can’t say enough great things! Thank you for a beautiful weekend!Posted on Jenny We had a great time at Djurdica's place. We loved how unique it was and all the activities to do. There was never a dull moment. Djurdica was very quick to respond to messages. She greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the place. We felt right at home. We brought our toddler and she had such a great time. Her first time jumping off a diving board and canoeing and she did great. She also loved the "purple" room and actually looked forward to nap time and bedtime 🤯. I would recommend staying no less then 3 nights so that you have time to do all the things! Overall, everything was great. The pictures don't do it justice. It's even more beautiful in person!Posted on Adrien Our stay in Elora was amazing. We got to enjoy some of the local Dining and shops. Our host welcomed us right in and gave us a great tour of the property and amenities. The house was very clean and had a unique design that felt very open and close to nature. The decor was very tastefully done and it felt very comfortable. We would love to stay again in the future.Posted on Lia Wow! What a location. We visited Elora for a bachelorette weekend and absolutely loved our stay here. Djurdjica met us upon arrival to give a tour of the property and answer any questions. The home was very clean and welcoming with beautiful amenities for us to enjoy, and close to many local shops and restaurants.Posted on Kasey wow ! What an amazing home. Your place is so unique and thoughtful … are you taurus by chance ? We had such a great time enjoying the pool/hottub, and have decided to make this a yearly gathering spot. thanks again for inviting us into your home!
