If you're looking at staying in Stratford or the Waterloo/Kitchener area, you're going to want to stay here. Absolutely gorgeous lodging, inside and out. Google Street View does not give it justice. Could not have asked for a better experience. Any issues that arose were immediately fixed and the experience made better. Everyone my wife and I spoke with was kind, generous, and helpful. Will absolutely be coming again.
