Beautiful home within walking distance to everything
We so enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, historic home. Everything you need for an easy stay is provided. We enjoyed relaxing on the peaceful porch. We loved walking down to the beach park. We walked to wonderful dinners in town each night and enjoyed the shops as well. The flowers all over town are gorgeous! We did take a trip over to the Botanical Gardens which was fabulous!

Perfect Decision
It was, as recounted by so many other previous guests, exactly what was described online. The historic home was cozy, comfortable, beautifully lit, centrally located and impeccably clean. Communication with Sindy was cheerful and effortless and this ideal location provided a wonderfully enjoyable Niagara-on-the-Lake getaway!
