Welcome to our Cozy Gateway Getaway!
Welcome to our cozy gateway getaway.
A private setting with a private entrance will make you feel at home when you arrive. Whether you are here to unwind from the busyness of life or you are here to escape the busyness of the office, we have you covered.
Located in charming Grimsby, away from the big city's hustle, we are at the start of the Niagara wine route, with over 50 wineries. Nestled between the escarpment and Lake Ontario, we're 30 minutes from Niagara Falls and an hour from Toronto. Our newly renovated, private unit offers all the comforts of home including an outdoor patio for dining. Ground floor level with street parking. We are located a short walk to the lake (5 minutes) and downtown Grimsby (10 minutes).
Here for the fish? Hook up with a local charter whether Lake Ontario for Salmon or Lake Erie for Pickerel. It's all within reach.
Here for the wine route and wine tasting? Over 50 wineries on the world-famous wine route of Niagara.
Here to see the famous Falls? Within a short drive down the QEW, you have all the sites and sounds of the most famous honeymoon capital of the world.
Here to see Toronto on your visit? Fred knows the city like the back of his hand. Need travel advice? Just ask. See a Jays game in the summer or, in the winter, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Maybe you are a soccer fan - see Toronto FC, our professional soccer club. Maybe you wish to see the sights and sounds of the city? Fred knows them all and where to go.
Like the outdoors? We've got that covered too! All within walking distance of our home.
Beamers Falls Trail 4.2 km Grimsby On The Lake Path. 1.8 km 40 Mile Creek loop 1.1 Km
Local Food! Yes, we have some great restaurants here in the area. From a top-rated winery restaurant to a quick deli sandwich we have some great food in the area. Curious? Just ask us.
Need advice? Fred and Theresa have lived here pretty much all their lives. Fred is a foodie and knows the places to go. Theresa is the one who makes all things sparkle and shine. We both can direct you to the best places to visit and when the best time is to go. If a good local BBQ dinner or homemade Canadian breakfast is a request...who knows?
* Please note... there is no hot tub and I have tried to delete it but to no avail.
Come... fish, boat, eat, hike, or explore.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Cozy Getaway
We enjoyed our stay. The small apartment was clean and quiet. There is a lovely outdoor seating area that was private and quiet also. The hosts were lovely and offered suggestions of things to do. The property was easily accessed from the QEW which made our travelling around much easier. If I was ever back in the area - I would stay here again.

Short term rental stay
I had an amazing 4-month stay at this VRBO! The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable extended stay. The location was great—peaceful and quiet, yet close to everything I needed. The hosts were fantastic—super responsive and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would stay here again.

Warm cosy stay
We went in the winter, and had a lovely stay here. We definitely made use of the fireplace to keep us warm. Everything in the place worked well and was useful. The hosts were quite charming and helpful.
