Green Gables Guest House — Attraction in Kitchener

We stayed at Green Gables for several days for a family function, and we had a very comfy stay. We had attended several family parties at Green Gables in the past, and so knew that the house was impressive and the food was terrific, but we had never stayed overnight before.
