The cottage is the perfect size for two people, and very well appointed; it felt like home. Comfy bed, fully outfitted kitchen, tasteful furnishings, cool fireplace that came on automatically. Linda was extremely kind and communicative. We were in the area for a sad reason, rather than vacation, but should we be back in the region in better circumstances, we would definitely choose the cottage again, no question.
This is our second stay at your lovely cottage. Everything was perfect and we look forward to our next visit.

Excellent accommodation, everything you may need is within a 5 minute drive yet you're staying in the country.
Family hosts were perfect and there is a lot of information about the area in the cabin.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was clean, well equipped and very close to town. The owners were quick to reply to any questions we had. We had a great stay!

Wonderful!
Fantastic place to stay, clean and quiet with the most comfortable bed in the world!
We really enjoyed the property. It's adorable and has has everything you need. The bed is so comfortable, you don't want to get up in the morning!
The only downside was there was alot of small spiders and spider webs inside of the
cottage.
We where hoping to find a place in St Catharines. This was the prefect location. The cottage was very spacious and comfortable. If we ever need a place in this same area in the future, we would definitely look to see if Oak Lane Cottage is available.
The cottage was a perfect place to get away yet close to great attractions!
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! It was private, quiet and the perfect place to unwind after a day of activities. Perfect for two people and fully appointed; it is also very clean and tastefully decorated. The host was so welcoming and easy to work with. She even stocked us with coffee! We highly recommend this rental!!
Cottage is ideal for 2 people, location is great to access the great wineries in the area as well as local nurseries. Communication was great and easy check in. Just a note that the cottage is on a secluded road with just a few houses.
We enjoyed our stay here for three nights. Very close to Stonewall Estates where we attended a wedding. The property provided everything we needed. Other than the fact that it felt a little “worn” I would recommend it.
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It offered everything we needed plus the location was great. The suggestions Linda offered were appreciated, as she was always quick to respond our inquires.
Thanks 😊
My husband and I wanted a little spot to rest while visiting all of the beautiful places around the area. This little place was the perfect size for our needs. It was pretty cold, so we weren't able to enjoy the lovely firepit or the grill outside, but we enjoyed the cozy indoor fireplace and sitting in front of it in the evenings while we unwound from a day of adventure.
Would highly recommend this place!
This is a well-appointed cottage. The owners have obviously taken great care to ensure the comfort of the people who stay there. .I and my husband highly recommend it

Enjoyed our stay at Oak Lane Cottage very much!
The accommodations were very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was so comfortable, great sleeping. We really liked being out in the country, nestled within the beautiful vineyards. Even though the owners live next door, they respected our privacy. Linda Bouw was very friendly and helpful with suggestions on things to do in the area. Loved the beautiful bouquet of lillies that she had for us when we arrived!

This was a cute, off the beaten track, place to stay. Close to Niagara Falls, and wine country. Small boutique shops and farm stands everywhere so we were able to buy fresh produce, and local meats, cheese and wine to enjoy on the patio.
A full kitchen was available on our rainy day, and a bbq when it was sunny.
The only thing i would change, is to make one area of the fence a bit more private.
Great stay, wonderful owners ready to help in minutes. Will definitely be back!
This was a great stay in a great little cottage. Short list: The area feels quiet, but is so very close to everything. You can see the TV from the couch, bed and kitchen. You can control the interior temperature. The bed is comfy, the couch is comfy, the hot water is instant, the internet is fast. The cottage shares a driveway with another house, which surprised me when I arrived, but please don't worry, the cottage has privacy. The host is extremely friendly and responsive. I would 100% stay here again.
From my first interaction with the host, Linda, I knew this vacation would be everything we needed. The check in process was seamless, the cottage is just so cozy and well stocked. It’s quiet and comfy. Miss. Linda is very communicative and considerate providing the necessary information up front, responsive and she was beyond accommodating for us. We are planning to return. We are grateful to her for her hospitality.

Why they chose this property
Why this gem people do ask...... We personally had a health situation where we had to fly to Red Deer to take care of a family member and were lucky enough to find a home to stay in while we took care of our loved one. We saw the opportunity for this building, now our newly renovated cottage, to enable us to do the same for people who happen to have sick ones in our local hospital which is close by. A place to stay, to cook, to relax, to re-coup and self energize.
What makes this property unique
A quiet patio to enjoy the birds, squirrels and occasional deer. A treed lot to sit in the shade. A little kitchen to relax, cook and enjoy. A gas BBQ on the patio A wood burning fire pit surrounded by 4 muskoka chairs
