Wonderful, very clean, comfy home! Perfect for a girls' weekend! The bed was very comfortable, the house was lovely, and the views were amazing. We had nice fires every evening, and the owner provided ample firewood. Would love to go back for a meteorite shower! The only thing I disliked was the electric stove; it wasn't the owner's fault, just a personal preference of mine.

It was the perfect location for our Niagara Falls excursion. We wanted to be close but not in the city. It was a little more than an hour drive, and the views and the drive was beautiful!

Annual Visit

Always a pleasure. Was surprised to see the new residence on the hill. We stayed at your other rental last year. Seemed a little close...we are used to "no neighbors" that we can see...lol. It did feel a little awkward. Everthing else was as usual. Thanks!

Gorgeous View

The property was private and quiet. Everything we needed was available to us. The view was one of a kind. Lake Erie is way off in the distance where you cannot see waves but the view was out of this world. The brilliant blue of the distant water blended beautifully with the vineyards all around the area where the house is located.

Amazing weekend stay

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and property set the mood for a girls wine weekend. The charm of the 1800s house with vineyards, an old barn and tree swing. It's proximity to the wineries, distilleries and lake Erie was amazing. Everything was only minutes away. We can't wait to come back and just escape for another long weekend

Scenic and cozy

This house had everything we needed and more. There was ample space and comfortable seating and beds. I appreciated the supplies in the kitchen like measuring cups, whisk, baking pans etc… and the toys for the kids. The house is nestled within miles and miles of vineyards and there’s a lovely view of Lake Erie (10 mins away) which is enormous! We enjoyed the fire pit too. It was a very nice stay. Thank you!
