Take a 25 minute drive up into downtown Niagara Falls to check out the mighty Falls! Families should check out Clifton Hill, The Bird Kingdom, Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, and Niagara Hornblower Boat Cruises (formally Maid of the Mist) to get up close and personal to the roaring Falls. We highly recommend taking some extra time to cruise up the Niagara Parkway to the Falls to enjoy one of the most beautiful drives in the province.

    Fabulous property with even better views. Kitchen well equipped with large fridge and dishwasher. Has central air (which we did not need). Great deck with BBQ, comfortable seating and a picnic table. Muskoka chairs for sitting around firepit. Good parking for 3 cars. Stay also includes beach passes if you need them. Town itself has plenty to offer re, restaurants, bars, shopping etc. Great place to just relax to the sound of the waves.

    This place was exactly what I was looking for for a weekend by the water with some friends. It was very clean and there was plenty of space. We loved the sliding glass doors leading out to the deck overlooking the water. The weather ended up being very cold for the time of year, but we were still able to make the most of it with the lovely view. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, but you do need to bring your own paper products (no paper towels, foil, etc.).

    We returned for a week as we stayed here 6 years ago on our honeymoon. We love this area...easy access to Niagara Falls, NOTL, Port Colborne etc. Cute cottage...so nice to be literally on the lake. Lake water was low this time. Oh well. Teri, our host, was AWESOME.

    This is a great spot to bring a family or just have a quiet weekend for two. This is a cottage right on the shore of Lake Erie. The back deck is large with lots of room for watching the waves. The shale shoreline is interesting but we didn’t venture out since it looked a little slippery. The beach was only a few steps away though! You can see the sunrise from the deck as well. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils, pans, dishes and drink ware. It was clean and had lots of beds. This is everything I expected a cottage to be. My husband originally suggested a hotel in Niagara but I suggested this VRBO. It was much more relaxing. There are TV’s but the view was too perfect. If you are looking for a Hilton type experience, this may not be for you but it was everything we needed. Niagara is close enough as were the wineries. Groceries and supplies are fairly close by as well but far enough that you feel away from it all. I highly suggest.

    We loved sitting on the back porch and listening to the waves and watch the ducks/geese. This house is about an 18 minute walk to the cute little beach! And about 25 minutes to Niagara! Can't wait to come back!
