Ample parking for 6 carsComfortable beds, love the big windows, nice layout. Lots of sofa space. Only suggestion is-Kitchen is a little light to serve/cook for a group of 10We had a great stay and would stay here again.
We enjoyed staying at the lake house. It was perfect distance to all of our family in Niagara Falls. We enjoyed fire pit. Lake view is beautiful! Loved the layout and comfort of main floor with that gorgeous view.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Right on the water with beautiful views. Plenty of room and comfortable setting. Property owner Sid was very responsive to a few minor issues.
The view of the lake was amazing! The home was beautiful, comfortable,spacious, and clean. Communication with the owner was very clear and easy! A wonderful place to come back to enjoy time with family, after a day of exploring the area!
This house is clean and spacious. Our family stayed for the week and had plenty of room. Each night we enjoyed the amazing views and gorgeous sunset. The view is one of a kind.
The owner is very easy to reach and responds fast.
Thanks for allowing us to stay
On a whim we decided to have a little r & r night for a few friends and we are so lucky we found this spot! Beautiful house, wonderful layout for a social gathering, excellent bedroom options to accommodate our group. I only wish it had been a smidge warmer out so we could’ve enjoyed the patio, but we thoroughly enjoyed the lake views from the warmth of the house ;) The host, Sid, was super easy to work with. We’ll definitely save this property for future stays with the same group or with our families, and next time for several nights! One was not enough :)
Nestled by the tranquil waters, this family lake home on VRBO exceeded our expectations for a perfect retreat. The expansive living spaces provided ample room for our family to relax and reconnect, creating lasting memories.
The highlight of our stay was the inviting firepit, where we gathered each evening to share stories under the starlit sky. The lakeside view added a touch of serenity, making it an ideal spot for unwinding.
The attention to detail in the property's design was evident, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy bedrooms. The seamless booking process on VRBO made our experience hassle-free.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway or a fun-filled family adventure, this lake home checks all the boxes. Highly recommended for those looking to create cherished moments by the water's edge.
The place was great, it was exactly what we needed for a friend group of 8-10 to congregate and spend time together - ample parking and a big living space. A well stocked kitchen for cooking meals at the house, although we ran out of paper towel pretty quickly and had to buy a new propane tank for the grill (regular parts of a cottage rental so weren’t upset about it). Owner was very responsive when recommending where to buy a new tank. The unit next door was under construction but the contractor was very respectful of the noise he was making. Our main complaint is that the heating/AC system was so confusing! Changing the settings on the thermostat didn’t do much, and every bedroom was a vastly different temperature throughout the night, especially those rooms not facing the lake. It wasn’t a hot weekend so it ended up fine, but some instructions on the using the system would be great. We also could have used just a couple more towels/wash clothes - didn’t need them badly enough to justify a load of laundry but ran short by the last day. All in all, it was a great stay in a beautiful location with a very responsive host! We highly recommend the Youngstown Marketside for cafe and in a lunch groceries!
Great location with Beautiful views of Toronto and wildlife on the lakeshore, about 15-20 minutes away from niagara falls and wineries.Beds super comfortable. Excellent communication tp/from the host.Highly recommend.
