This property is excellent! House is luxurious, comfortable and clean..Amenities are perfect. Best hosts I have ever experienced, easy and relaxing stay
We all really enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful, updated, spacious, great rooms (beds and bedding were comfortable), the hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge were a highlight. It's located close to the border and restaurants. We plan on returning with our spouses!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Lots to do around the property (pool, hot tub, sauna, walks on the beach). Rooms were comfortable and the house was very clean. Bryan and David were very communicative.
My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and this property hit the spot. Hosts were excellent, house was as advertised and the sauna was amazing. You will not be disappointed.
Bryan and David were exceptional hosts. They were quick to respond to all inquiries and offered thoughtful suggestions for local activities. The home was beautiful both inside and out. It was a delightful blend of historical charm and modern luxury. The home was equipped with everything we needed to relax and enjoy a fall weekend getaway. From the well-appointed kitchen to the comfortable bedding and robes, all of our needs were met. The Nordic spa feature was a definite highlight of the property and was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
The location of this property was absolutely beautiful😍 loved how it was so close to stores and restaurants. Whenever we had questions, the host responded right away!
Everything was excellent. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and sauna. The area is lovely.The windows and outside need a good cleaning but inside was immaculate.The neighbours big dog came to visit(soaking wet) a few times and it was hard to get rid of him. He would have liked to help himself to snacks. However he was friendly.
Beautiful property, well appointed with many amenities. Spent a lovely week enjoying the sauna and house, which is very modern with many conveniences. Well located. Excellent communications from the host. Very responsive.
We had an amazing week at this charming, spacious, and spotless home! The sauna, hot tub, pool, and beach access gave us plenty to do—just don’t forget the bug spray. The kitchen was well stocked, and having a washer and dryer was a big plus with kids.We had six kids with us, ages 2 to 19, and everyone had a great time. The house felt fancy and fun, with lots of space for everyone to relax.Waverly Beach, just 5 minutes away with free parking, was beautiful and quiet. The location was also great for exploring Niagara-area activities. Highly recommend!
The house is beautiful and the property manager was very responsive when we needed anything like more towels, etc. Very comfortable property, it is just buggy because of all the shaded trees but nothing that can be done about that.

Hi Heather! Thank you for the great review. We are glad to hear you had a great time!
We had such a great time here. We did experience issues with the hot tub not heating up but they came by to check it out asap. Communication was fast and efficient. The Sauna was gorgeous and really made our stay complete. Cant wait to return!

Thanks Stephanie! You were great guests. Glad we got the hot tub issue resolved. We hope to see you again.
We found this beautiful home trying to find a place close enough to take our family to see the Falls and I fell in love. It really is my dream home. The house is absolutely stunning. My kids loved the hot tub and my husband and I enjoyed the sauna and our walks on the beach. We all slept great and in fact I’m already trying to buy the mattress we slept on in the master! I can’t wait to go back!
Beautiful property with very caring Host , all that decor makes you feel home , especially if you are a pet owner that place is a Dog heaven with lots of greens to play and a huge heated salt water water pool , huge trees surrounding the property with a beautiful lake front ( perfect place for a bonfire ) I can go on and on but honestly its a must visit .
Thanks Bryan and Tim for making us feel home

Thank you Harsh for the 5-star review! You were great guests. It was so nice to meet you. We hope you can stay longer next time!
Our family really enjoyed our vacation here. The house was the perfect size for us (6 adults and 2 children). Everything we needed was provided. When we discovered that we did not have the chemical for the hot tub, I texted the owner and it was delivered to us within an hour. We were very pleased with the speed this was resolved. The pool, was clean and at a perfect temperature. As grandparents, it was great to sit on the covered porch and still be able to see our children and grandchildren enjoying the pool. It was only a short drive into Niagara Falls for sightseeing. We would not hesitate to book this location again for our family.
Tranquil and Beautiful Farmhouse on Lake close to the Falls
The house was lovely and beautifully remodeled. It was located right next to Lake Eire with beach access and a pool, although we went and it was still chilly but nice to walk on beach then dip in hot tub at night.
Within ~30 minutes to Niagara Falls it was convienant but also gave nice relaxing escape from tourist area and was minutes from border.
David was responsive and great host. House was clean and even better than expected.
Would highly recommend in any season!

Thank you Christopher! We are glad to hear you had a great stay!
Overall, great! The house, the pool, and the hot tub were fantastic. The owner was friendly and helped us a lot. Thank you. The only problem was the beach view. I was surprised to find a neighborhood between the house and the beach, which blocks the view and requires a walk around to get to the beach.
We had a lovely time at this beautiful spot. There were 2 families with young children.
There were plenty of green space for the children to play outdoors and the beach was a quick walk.
The heated pool was an added bonus.
The house was better than the photos. Bedrooms were large. Living space and kitchen was very spacious!
The hospitality the host provided was superb! They checked in on us and answered any questions we had! They went over and above and we will definitely come back!

Thank you Kendra, for the 5-star review! It was nice to meet you and we are glad that everyone enjoyed their stay. Please come back again!
This property feels like it is straight out of a storybook. The location is so quite and private. The backyard still had flowers in bloom and it was so picturesque with the tall trees surrounding the property. The inside is BEAUTIFULLY decorated.
The communication with the hosts have been so so easy. The team went above and beyond for us and we were so appreciative to have been treated so kindly.
Would absolutely recommend this property for any larger groups. I did a lot of digging for similar properties and could not find anything this magnificent.
