We just spent a great weekend at that house, and I highly recommend it. It was wonderful! The house is impeccably clean; everything is in working order, and in good shape. The backyard is perfect to hang out, have an BBQ and sip a glass of wine with company after checking out a few wineries in the area! Cheers!

Ideal location for our gathering of friends in the Niagara Falls area. Accommodations were extremely comfortable, clean and well appointed. Close to everything yet made to feel like our own oasis, especially with the backyard! The host, Scott, was responsive and communicative with all correspondence. We all want to come back!
Had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! After many days of scorching temps in southern Ontario we found ourselves in a cold snap!! The property was cozy as we had to spend the evening indoors! Lots of room to relax and the beds and amenities checked all the boxes! We did enjoy our coffee and breakfast on the patio in the sunshine. Would definitely recommend this property in NOTL for a group. Plan on making this place a yearly adventure for the girls weekend!
Very cute and cozy ranch house close to wineries and a short drive to the historic district. Kitchen well stocked for us to have coffee and breakfast before we headed out. Comfy beds!
The house is well appointed and was perfect for our group of 7. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants and the back yard was a wonderful place to relax.
The house was just perfect. So glad we chose this place. Close to various vineries. And Scott was amazing with making sure Check in was smooth and we were okay. Will definitely consider this place for future stay and super recommend!

Great property! Super close to the town and right down the street from multiple wineries. House was clean and the property manager responded extremely fast to any inquiries!
Perfect spot for people looking to enjoy some time in NOTL area.
Close to everything!
House feels like home! Yard is fantastic.
We would stay here again.
Wonderful weekend in NOTL. House was in a great location. It was very well appointed and the backyard space was beautiful . The host was awesome. Very responsive with great recommendations. Would def stay there again in the future!
Really enjoyed the property. Beautiful property surrounded by bushes. Wonderful outdoor lighting and spaces to relax. Huge deck with grill, hammock, gas fire pit and outdoor wine bar and pergola with nice sofa and chairs under it.
And you can walk out the back of the property to A. Joseph's winery a total 2 minute walk.
My sisters and I loved the place and loved the location. 10 minutes to the town and 10 minutes to shopping and many wineries along the way. The host was terrific. When we had a little trouble with getting in to the house he couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. Three bedrooms, two big bathrooms and a beautiful backyard. The house was very clean and welcoming. Will come back and stay again.
This place exceeded our expectations! The most beautiful house in the most beautiful area! Everything you can ask for is there waiting for you! The backyard is absolutely stunning, so much space to enjoy. We will definitely be back and look forward to creating more memories here. ❤️❤️
