This lovely heritage property will transport you back in time. It is impeccable and so nicely appointed with beautiful period furnishings. Waking up to the sound of bells chiming and the clip clop of the horses and they pulled the carriages past the house was the icing on cake of this serene place. Sindy, our host was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was so welcoming and attentive.

Wonderful historic home literally a step or two away from the main downtown of NOTL and Lake Ontario, Queens Beach Park. House was historic but had the creature comforts of home. Sindy and Drew were wonderful hosts. We will stay here again, unless you all who read this book it up, which you should!

Location location location!

Sindy’s place was the perfect location to all the shops, parks, restaurants and water. We never had to use the car at all! The Alexander McKee house is a beautiful historical home that took us back in time. We had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. Stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furnishings and a gorgeous porch and patio surrounded by lush plants and flowers. We can’t say enough good things about Sindy’s place and will definitely be back next year!

We enjoyed our 5-night stay in the beautifully restored Alexander McKee House. The attention to historical detail is truly remarkable. If you close your eyes when the horse-drawn carriages go by, you could almost imagine yourself transported back to 1835. Highly recommend!

A really special experience: enjoy the beautiful town of NOTL while staying one of its original homes! The house is dark but has plenty of lighting, wide wooden floorboards, charming bedrooms.And, it has modern creature comforts like a dishwasher (not terribly common in rentals in this area), full new washer and dryer, modern locking system, off-street parking. Large, comfortable living room with good seating and a TV we didn’t use. Upstairs beds are very comfortable.The home is immaculate and the owners definitely ask a level of respect from visitors to keep it looking great (no shoes on inside — the norm in Canadian homes) to keep it that way.I wish I knew more about the heritage of the house: who was Alexander Mckee, what did it look like in 1835 when the home was built, and more. Overall a great stay, really comfortable and with a twist of history.One important note! The one bathroom that includes the shower is on the main floor off the kitchen, and the wooden stairs to the second floor are rather steep. Not ideal for nighttime trips to the loo, especially if you have any issues with balance or other.
