Why Stay at Loft on St Paul?
The Outside
The building, formerly St. Paul’s Anglican Church, was constructed in 1878 and has been beautifully transformed into a stunning loft space. The church was repurposed into an Airbnb after being closed in 2017, maintaining its rich history while incorporating new design features inspired by its original purpose. From the outside, you can still see the remaining features of the century old Church.
Located in Belleville’s Foster Ward, the Loft on St Paul provides guests with a one-of-a-kind experience, combining the charm of the old with the convenience of contemporary living. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking a blend of comfort and history, with close proximity to local attractions and the waterfront.

The outdoor area is equally impressive. Large patio doors lead to a private backyard designed for relaxation and entertainment. Guests can dine al fresco at a large dining table, prepare meals in the outdoor kitchen, or unwind in the jacuzzi under the stars.
The backyard also features a separate bedroom with bunk beds, making it perfect for families or groups traveling together. Note however, that this bedroom is not connected to the rest of the house.


The Inside
Once inside, the blend of old and new continues to impress. The main living area boasts high ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The grand piano, prominently placed on the stage, serves as both a decorative centerpiece and a functional instrument, making this space ideal for musicians and music lovers. When not rented as an Airbnb, the Loft is often used as a concert venue, adding to its unique appeal.
The open-concept layout includes a renovated kitchen with modern appliances, a spacious dining area, and a comfortable living room designed for relaxing after a day of exploring Belleville. The decor features a mix of industrial and contemporary styles, maintaining the building’s character while offering modern conveniences.
Upstairs, the Loft bedroom overlooks the main space, providing a cozy and private retreat. The queen bed is dressed with plush bedding, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The view from the loft captures the beauty of the entire space, from the piano to the stained-glass windows.

Did you know you could stay in a treehouse right here in Ontario?
Nestled near Minden, Ontario, The Baltic by @fort_treehouse_co offers just that—a fairytale retreat for two, perched amidst the whispering pines of the Haliburton Highlands.
As a kid, I dreamed of having my own treehouse. One with a ladder to climb, secret corners to hide in, and branches swaying around me like a storybook scene.
But growing up in the city, that dream always felt a little out of reach—more imaginary than real.
Now, as an adult, I finally found it. My dream treehouse.
Not in some faraway forest, but right here in the heart of Ontario.
The Baltic is everything little me imagined and then some: a cozy loft bed with forest views, a fireplace that fills the space with warmth and flickering light, and the most peaceful cedar hot tub tucked away in the woods. It’s off-grid, quiet, and somehow still full of magic.
If you’ve been dreaming of a treehouse stay in Ontario, this one’s for you. ✨
Save this post for your next romantic getaway or solo escape into the woods.

Plot twist: went on a ski trip… and kind of learned to ski?? 🫣
Spent the weekend at @calabogiepeaks and it was the perfect girls’ winter getaway—even for someone who’s more après-ski than ski itself…
✨ bunny hill ski lessons with the most patient instructor (shoutout Bruce)
✨ snowshoeing down the Ole K&P trail
✨ spicy Caesars and snowy views
We stayed right at the Calabogie Peaks Resort Hotel—literally steps from the slopes and trails. Whether you’re skiing, snowshoeing, or just in it for the vibes, it’s the perfect base for an Ontario ski trip.
The moral of this story? You don’t have to be a pro skier to plan a weekend getaway at Calabogie Peaks Resort!
Save this for your next adventure in the Ottawa Valley 🏔️
‼️ Calabogie Peaks just closed for the season but the resort is still open! Stay tuned for summer hiking!!

There are places you dream about for so long, you start to wonder if they’ll ever live up to the picture you’ve painted in your mind. For me, the Amalfi Coast was one of those places.
The winding roads, lemon-scented air, and colorful cliffside villages—I’d imagined it all a hundred times. But visiting solo in March, without a car, came with a few surprises. Ferries weren’t running, buses were few and far between, and I realized seeing everything I wanted might be trickier than I thought.
So I did something I rarely do when I travel solo: I joined a guided day tour with @getyourguide . And honestly? It was the best decision. I got to explore Positano, Amalfi, Ravello—and take in the coast from all angles, without the stress of figuring it out on my own.
Swipe through for a glimpse of one of Italy’s dreamiest regions—yes, even in the off-season, the Amalfi Coast is pure magic.
