When you think Canada, you think of? Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal, right? Why not Guelph? Whether or not you’ve heard of it before, it’s time you took notice of it. Why?

Well, because it’s low on crime (often the lowest in the entire country), is up and coming but with clean air and environment, has some magnificent limestone architecture and a lively culture, is big on festivals, and has its own (hi)story to tell (the Guelph Farmer’s Market, started in 1827, is 195 years old and continues to bring local vendors and businesses together!). Doesn’t this check many, if not all, of the necessary boxes for a traveler?

So, on your next trip to Canada, give Guelph a little love. Read on for the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Guelph, Canada.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 03, 2024.

1. Colorful loft apartment in a centrally located home (from USD 65)

2. Charming “red door” cottage in downtown Guelph (from USD 88)

Notting Hill has a “house with the blue door”; downtown Guelph has one with a red door—and while you won’t find Hugh Grant inside, it’s just as charming as the reel version. The unit in this Rockwell-esque 150-year-old stone house is equipped with all modern amenities for a comfortable stay.

Though you’ll be downtown, the property is on a residential off-street, so privacy and quiet are assured. There’s a restaurant just a 3-minute walk away, and it won’t take you more than 10 minutes to reach a market, stores, and cafés.
