The Country Nook. A relaxing retreat from the city.
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.

Loved the Nook!!! Very clean and modern facilities. Beautifully decorated; welcoming and comfortable. !!Close to the city with wonderful exposure to nature !!Awesome !!
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!
The owners are very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. It was very well stocked with amenities and decorated beautifully. Would love to stay here again!
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.
We had a wonderful experience staying at the Nook. It is quaint and cozy, giving you the homey vibe away from home. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!
Such a cosy, functional, lovely place to stay. Close to Stratford if you want to catch a show. Beautiful setting. Just an all around great place to stay.
Super close to Stratford, very cozy, clean. Wonderful screened in porch off one of the bedrooms and the gas fireplace is an excellent touch. Really enjoyed it!
A great place to stay when visiting Stratford. Quiet, clean and equipped with what we needed. The hosts communicated quickly and provided details for a smooth check in.
A nice, clean and comfortable little cottage. Host was very responsive in all communication. We enjoyed our stay and would’ve liked to stay longer. We would like to return another time.
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.
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.
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.
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!
An amazing relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Beautifully renovated and had everything we needed plus more.

Why they chose this property
This is a relaxing retreat. Close enough to Stratford but far enough away to have your own private retreat.
What makes this property unique
It's secluded and quiet. A lovely pond is out front. A Norwegian wood fireplace outside and a gas one inside. All the inside touches make this feel like a family cottage a place to relax and recharge.
