We were here for a Spartan race weekend. This beautiful refurbished church exceeded our expectations. It’s an experience in itself just getting to know the building and it’s historical beauty. Very clean, comfy and all amenities one would need. Janice and Garry were amazing hosts always available to help with any questions.

We loved our stay at The Artists Loft. This converted church rental is intriguing in architectural design, layout and decor. The beds were very comfortable, and the loft was very clean, spacious with lots of natural light, and a wood stove to warm up too in the evening. The kitchen is equipped with all amenities you may require. Janice and Garry were excellent communicators in every aspect. And it was lovely to meet them at the property upon our arrival and be given fresh picked tomatoes from their garden. The four of us loved our stay here. Janice and Garry are lovely people.

Chose this authentic loft apartment because of a long time dream of restoring and renovating an old Church into a home. It did not disappoint. If you enjoy history and appreciate a labor of love, this is the place for you. You'll find peace and serenity here. The pictures of the loft are as you'll find it. It is very clean and extra precautions are taken right now due to the pandemic. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the water feature in the pond below. The hosts, Janice and Garry, are very warm and welcoming. They greeted us upon arrival, made themselves available to answer any questions we had, and offered helpful information on places to visit in neighboring towns. It was a wonderful area to explore. We would highly recommend a stay here.

I have to be frank, there was no extensive planning for my mom and I to spend a week in this wonderful place.. With past year in lockdown stucked home my objective was to leave the city, and get out to truly discover Ontario hidden gems. And the county and little towns around were just that.
It all would not be possible without unforgettable experience staying at the unique and memorable experience staying in this magical place. Our hosts "adopted" my mom and I for a period of our stay. Janice and Garry were so caring and attentive to our needs that we felt incredibly blessed. Thanks to both of them we felt at home during the whole week. Beautiful and rich of stories old church and lovely garden with a beautiful pond, with mixture of animal and plants worlds felt as if we were in one of the children books with treasures hunting at the every step...
To fully enjoy the stay you would benefit from getting to know the history of the place, stories of the people who have invested so much love into this wonderful home.
With suggestions from Janice we have explored the area better if we would on our own. We fell in love with the region and friendly people that we started discussing plans to retire in the area 🙂.
Our curiosity led us to learn Chinese traditional art of ink calligraphy taught by our incredible host. Oh, boy, what an amazing experience that was! We've learned so much about history behind it, the magic of each tool, and the wisdom of one of the oldest forms of ancient art...
There is so much to share about the experience but that would take me way too long.
My mom and I have endless appreciation for this precious opportunity to add to our memories of the summer 2021.
We have found new friends, and regardless of where our paths take us in the future, we will keep the warmth in our hearts filled with smiles and joy. Thank you once again.

Such an amazing place! We were blown away by the quality of the property and the warm welcome from Janice and Harry. Our hosts communicated with us just enough to ensure we have everything we needed and also gave us some tips on interesting places to visit in Lanark County. Inside the property every little thing was very well thought through. Overall - excellent experience! We highly recommend

March 2021 - What a unique place! The photos provided show off the funky architecture and tasteful interior. Nice little getaway, easy to find, respectful hosts! We stayed in and made our suppers and relaxed, and slept very well. Lovely to be there even in winter, but it must be stunning in the summer!

With family Christmas gatherings out of the question (with COVID-19), it was just our four person bubble that opted for Christmas in Port Elmsley. We had a great time and it was made all the better by staying at the Artmakers Studio. The property is beautiful and the accommodation is perfect. Our upstairs unit was well appointed and the hosts (Janice and Garry) were very attentive. This was our second trip to the property and it won’t be our last.

We had a wonderful time - this is an excellent place to stay. It's clean, well-equipped, unique, creative, spacious, cozy and so very peaceful. Big thanks to Janice and Garry, who are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. We hope to return!
