Awesome house!
Great house to stay in the night before our wedding. I stayed here with my groomsmen before my wedding and got ready here in the morning. The house is awesome, very clean with large living spaces. Lots of beds for everyone and comfortable beds. The backyard is awesome too.

Just what we needed!
I can’t say enough good things about this place. Paul was a gracious host and was very accommodating towards our needs. We all had to fly in last minute to attend a family members funeral, and it accommodated a lot of family members and was a great place to come home to and enjoy each others company. I would highly recommend this place.

Kitchener native with a passion for travel, design, and hospitality. Former business owner in the automotive and graphics industry. My journey from entrepreneurship led me to merge interests in travel, real estate, and interior design.

I've transformed my home using creative techniques like vinyl wrap on walls and kitchen surfaces. DIY projects, including the TV wall entertainment unit, the master bedroom bed, and the dining room table, reflect my love for hands-on creativity.

A devoted car enthusiast/traveller and foodie!

I find joy in exploring the world and discovering homes with unique potential. My vision is to expand my Airbnb portfolio, sharing these distinctive spaces with guests who appreciate personalized, curated experiences. Join me in creating memories in these carefully crafted havens!

What makes this property unique

Discover unique features in this home designed for hosting and culinary delights. The expansive deck, personally crafted with inground seating, 3 BBQs, and a firepit, offers a perfect setting under the stars.

Hand-built elements, courtesy of myself and friends, add a personal touch throughout the home. Experience cinema-quality entertainment with a home theatre and popcorn machine surpassing traditional theaters. The fully stocked kitchen invites you to unleash your culinary imagination.
