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

The Farm Shed is a quaint, rustic, and newly renovated guest accommodation on our working, 130-acre, family farm. Once used for machinery storage, a farm mechanics workshop, housing pigs, a farm store, and a farm office, now a retreat for guests to enjoy a quiet farm stay. Please know that we live and work on the farm.

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.

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.

On the 130-acre family farm wheat, corn, and soybeans are the crops grown. There are a few chickens that lay fresh eggs, daily. Theo, the farm kitty, roams free. He loves it when guests show him some love, with a head scratch!

We ensure a very clean and comfortable stay. The main floor is accessible, with a loft-style, comfy queen bed area, sitting area, and full kitchen.

The downstairs accommodates a second bedroom, with an antique double bed, laundry, full washroom, and lounge area.

This is also the access to the private guest backyard equipped with a picnic table, fire pit, chairs, firewood for campfires under the stars, and skewers for roasting your marshmallows.

The Farm Shed has central air-conditioning and a natural gas fireplace for heating, supplemented by an electric heater wall unit that makes it comfortable all year round.

This space is a separate building from the main farmhouse & is exclusively yours to enjoy during your stay. Please know that the farm property including the area of The Farm Shed is monitored by security cameras 24/7.

There is no bus route to our farm. Uber and local taxis provide service in the area. We have parking for 2-vehicles to the left of the large grey barn. ON-SITE ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING IS AVAILABLE (INCLUDES ADAPTOR FOR MOST EV'S INCLUDING TESLA VEHICLES) AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO BOOKING GUESTS.
