About this property

Your Peaceful Pause With Sunsets• Near Stratford

Escape to our private guest suite in the charming village of Shakespeare, just 10 minutes from Stratford. While not a luxury hotel or modern new build, this comfortable space offers thoughtful luxury touches, essential amenities, and plenty of character. Relax in the peaceful one-acre backyard with beautiful farmland views, stunning sunsets, and quiet moments beneath the maple trees. Enhance your stay with optional on-site spa and wellness treatments from the attached Spa! This private guest suite is located within a charming vintage home in the village of Shakespeare, offering a comfortable and peaceful place to relax while exploring Stratford and Perth County. While the space is not brand new or ultra-modern, it has been thoughtfully furnished with everything needed for a cosy and enjoyable stay.

The bedroom overlooks beautiful farmland and countryside views, often treated to breathtaking sunsets right from the window. Plush bedding, soft towels, robes, slippers, and thoughtful extras help create a welcoming atmosphere. A futon sofa in the bedroom can be used for separate sleeping arrangements, lounging with a book, watching television, or enjoying a quiet evening indoors.

The fully equipped kitchen includes the essentials for preparing meals, along with coffee, teas, and basic pantry items to help you settle in comfortably. A large dining table provides space for meals, games, or planning your next adventure.

Outside, guests are welcome to enjoy the spacious one-acre backyard, where farmland views, a hammock between the mature maple trees, and the occasional bunny create a peaceful country setting. On cooler evenings, the gas fireplace in your bedroom while gazing outside offers a cosy place to unwind.

The property is also home to Orchard Wellness & Treatment Centre, a boutique spa and wellness space located within the same building. Guests are welcome to enquire about treatments and special guest rates during their stay.

Host Sherry resides in a separate private living space within the building, allowing guests to enjoy their own private suite while having assistance nearby if needed.

Located just 12 minutes from Stratford, 20 minutes to Kitchener-Waterloo, local walking trails, ponds, and seasonal outdoor activities, this comfortable countryside retreat offers a relaxing home base for your visit.

This property is very beautiful, private and well appointed. Sherry has thought of every detail and has quality products for a comfortable getaway. She also responds to every message right away so any questions you may have are taken care of. I highly recommend this place when you are looking in this area. There is also a large, beautiful and private yard to enjoy and to take in the sunsets. 5 stars all the way.

Relaxing Getaway

This is a wonderful property for a weekend getaway for 2 people. Very clean, quite and nicely furnished and decorated. The little extras made it personal and very welcoming. Communication with the host was clear and responses were prompt. The area is beautiful and there are some nice shops within walking distance. We will recommend this place to all our friends and family.

Village Retreat- a breath of fresh air

Located in the town of Shakespeare, and only a ten minute drive from Stratford, the Village Retreat is within walking distance of several antique stores, an ice cream shop, a quilt store and a tea room. Shop, browse or read a book on the covered patio , . play in Stratford that evening. Sherry, the Village Retreat’s owner, has turned this gem into a wonderful place to relax. The place is clean, the bed is comfortable, the shower is warm, and the patio is cool on an early autumn evening. And that’s not to mention the full range of appliances, dinnerware and cooking utensils in the kitchen. We found owner Sherry to be attentive to her property as well as our needs……, even though we never met her in person! She was rarely more than fifty feet away, attending to her own business which is housed at the front of the property. We never saw her, but from the time of our arrival to our departure, she was never more than a text message or email away. We had a great two nights at the Village Retreat. In the past seven years, we’ve been to Stratford four times and have stayed in a different place on each occasion. But my wife and I are in agreement that this pattern has come to an end. The Village Retreat is where we will be returning again.. and again. Bill Z
