About

Hosted by Taz, Alistair, and Shelby (our resident horses) Escape to our charming studio-style carriage house, the perfect spot for relaxation. Just 15 minutes to County Fair Mall and 22 minutes to Lakehead University, it offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to city attractions. The spacious, open layout creates a calming atmosphere, while the outdoor firepit is ideal for unwinding with a drink or good company after a day of exploration.

Our stay exceeded our expectations! The place was larger than we expected from the pictures. They had all the spices and necessities to cook dinner. The place was very clean and cozy and would highly recommend it to friends. The host was prompt in returning any questions we had.

We are nomads and spend a lot of time in rental properties and air bnbs, and this place far exceeded any expectations I have of a short term rental. Everything is extremely well thought out, purposeful, and expertly equipped to suit short or long term stays alike. Grabbing groceries and staying home is more luxurious than some of the top restaurants in town, so plan to get comfy and stay in. I will absolutely be back with a few girlfriends for the ultimate sleepover. Brides, this is the place you are looking for with the girls. I did a weekend away with my husband, and we both can't stop talking about how much we absolutely loved it. One thing worth noting is my phone didn't always work on the drive out so download your maps if you aren't familiar with the area. Other than that 1000/10 stay.

This was our first AirBnb experience. I am not sure if any future experience could ever compare to this one. The Carriage House was even prettier than in pictures. It was perfectly clean and laid out beautifully. Every living space was a work of art. But even the magnificance pales in comparison to the hosts. Sherry and Paul went above and beyond. Visiting them was like catching up with long lost friends. Thank you both for an amazing anniversary we will never forget.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo meraviglioso B&B e ne siamo rimasti letteralmente estasiati. “Il Fienile” è un luogo magico: curato nei minimi dettagli, super accessoriato e pensato per offrire ogni comfort. La pulizia era impeccabile, segno di una grande attenzione e cura per gli ospiti. L’atmosfera è quella di un’oasi di pace e lusso, immersa nella bellezza e nella tranquillità. I cavalli che vivono nella proprietà sono splendidi e contribuiscono a rendere il soggiorno ancora più suggestivo. Se mai torneremo in Canada, non avremo dubbi. Un’esperienza indimenticabile che consigliamo a chiunque voglia rigenerarsi e vivere un soggiorno speciale.

Our stay was incredibly relaxing. It provided us with the beauty and calmness of nature while being near the city. The hosts were very kind, approchable and helpful. We will most certainly go back.
