Attractive, clean, convenient place to stay

We liked the location as it was convenient to friends, Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, and the Welland Canal Museum. Unfortunately we found the living room furniture uncomfortable and the walk-in shower was small and the door unsafe. The pool table was a nice feature and the interior renovations were attractive. Our Canadian friends were impressed.

Great little getaway!

We wanted a little getaway to Niagara Falls and came across this gem of a property. Everything was clean and the kitchen and dining area were absolutely stunning with a beautiful view overlooking the green scape. We love to cook so this was just perfect for us. We would DEFINITELY book with Christian again as he was a fantastic host; answering all our questions almost immediately. It was clean, spacious, and all around a fantastic place to stay.

Niagara Getaway

Spacious, clean - mostly well stocked. Needed more towels, especially hand towels and facecloths. Riverview is an exaggeration - you get small glimpses of the river through the trees from the second floor. Needs a mirror in the back second floor bedroom. Needs more decor.

The only reason for 3 stars instead of 5 was the excessive use of fragrances. Plug in devices, febreeze sprayed, highly scented dryer sheets and detergent, which tainted all towels and sheets. Made for a difficult environment for sleeping, showering and even washing dishes. So unfortunate, because the home was clean, well stocked and decorated nicely.

Lovely home

We enjoyed our stay and the home was lovely. A little disappointed in the location. We couldn’t actually see the river, too much foliage and it sat on a busy street. It was close and convenient to everything but it wasn’t the tranquil setting I envisioned. Well equipped kitchen except for it needed a can opener.

Beautiful house!

We had a very relaxing trip and the house is beautiful. The pool table was lots of fun, too! The only downside for us was that it was on a busy road, which we aren’t used to. The backyard is too steep to really play on, but the views are beautiful. There are lots of grocery stores and restaurants just a couple of minutes away (by car). There is also a wonderful bakery called Con Gusto just down the road with fresh breads and pastries that is only a two minute walk away! Our kids also enjoyed the trampoline park that was just a short drive away. We had a great time!

a wonderful hub close to everything Niagra

This awesome 3 storey, 3 bedroom (with 3 king sized beds) and 3 washrooms, a BBQ, professional billiards table, ample parking and huge main floor (kitchen w island and big kitchenette table, large living room), was--a 10 min drive to Port Dalhousie--excellent Italian dining and waterfront, a 12 min drive to Niagara Falls which ROCKED!, and 30 min to N.O.T.L.. This is an absolutely wonderful hub for a winter holiday that is only 1 1/2 h from T.O.!!! The owner is helpful and very generous, and every imaginable item for a normal home, especially in the kitchen, is available. Go for it!
