Patti was born and raised in the beautiful town of Wolfville and since introducing Wolfville to her husband in 2010, he too has fallen in love with the town and surrounding area.

Our stay was fabulous. Everything was done to make life as easy and comfortable as possible!
Thank you so much for your kind review and we are so glad to hear that you had a great time. My wife Patti and I fell in love with the house the first time we rented it four years ago and we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to purchase the house last year and jumped at the opportunity.
Thank you for your rental business and I hope that we can welcome you back again sometime in the future.
All the best,
Patti and Randy
We loved our time in this Wolfville home. It was comfortable and convenient, and had lots of charm.
