The Farm Shed @ Walnut Ridge Farm near Guelph, Elora, Fergus

**NO BOOKING FEE ON RESERVATIONS MADE AFTER AUGUST 11, 2023!**

A rural 1870's farmhouse lower-level apartment, recently renovated. Ideal for a quiet getaway or short-term stay. Our 'slice of country paradise' we like to share with others looking for some peace & quiet away from the hustle & bustle of a busy life.

Located 10 minutes south of Elora-Fergus, 5 minutes north of Guelph, and 20 minutes east of Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo, and St Jacobs. Cox Creek Winery is just up the road. Several bike/hike trails nearby. Three golf courses 5 minutes away.

The modern, fresh decor makes for a comfortable and peaceful space. A galley kitchen, king & double bedrooms, spacious living room with stone natural gas fireplace, dining area, and in-suite washer & dryer. It has everything you would need for a relaxing stay.

The Farmhouse Apartment has central air-conditioning and in-floor heating that make it comfortable all year round.

There is a guest 'side-yard' area with an outdoor dining table & chairs and a campfire pit with seating. Firewood & fire starter provided.

We ensure a very clean and comfortable stay. Guest access is keyless entry, through the garage entry door & downstairs. This is a private guest suite. Free guest parking for 2 vehicles

We live on a 130-acre family farm where we grow wheat, corn, and soybeans. We also have a few chickens that roam the farm and our farm cat - Theo (he loves it when guests show him some love, with a head scratch)!

There is no bus route to our farm. Uber and local taxis provide service in the area.

Wonderful accommodation and location
One of the best places we have ever stayed. From our first contact until our departure, Trish was friendly, helpful and prompt. The Farm Shed was all we could have hoped for, with everything practical we might need, beautiful touches, so comfortable. We had a couple of minor issues that came up, and Trish was immediately responsive and got them sorted. The location itself (the farm and rural location) was peaceful, lovely and yet still close to Guelph and all the amenities there. Also easy to get to other locations in Ontario we were visiting on day trips. Loved the nearby bird feeders and the interesting birds they attracted. Bonus: Theo the cat, who came by regularly and politely left on his own after a friendly visit. We were visiting from BC and have family and friends in the Guelph area -- we will definitely book here if we come to the area again.

We really loved staying at The Farm Shed! We stayed for two nights and I loved how well stocked and equipped the kitchen was to make a great meal. Trish has thought of everything to make a great stay! It's bigger than it looks in the pictures and has a very cozy vibe inside. The main house is close to the shed, but you are able to close over the barn doors for complete privacy. This is a great home base for exploring the towns in the area. It was easy to get ubers into Elora, and it was so nice to come 'home' to such a tranquil farm house.

Great short stay
I had a really great stay. The host was brilliant and responsive and allowed me a late check out. The place was lovely. The bed I used on the main floor was very comfortable. I enjoyed the peace and quiet and hanging out with the cat in the garden. Internet, super fast. Totally recommend.

The Barn Shed is a cute place right on a working farm. Main floor and lower level are decorated nicely with lots of room for a couple or small family. Definitely stay here again.
