What a wonderful little gem of a place to stay! Very welcoming, clean, and cozy, with the amazing added benefit of being pet friendly for my fur baby. The bed is super comfy, too! Thanks so much for such a pleasant experience, Mike!

Cute little place, just perfect for our short stay. Loved the dog amenities and although there is not a yard, there is a sidewalk on the quiet tree lined street for walking your dog. I also appreciated the ability to sit outside with my morning coffee. Also appreciated the coffee pods and machine!

Red Door Retreat is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from everyday life. The space is well designed- minimalistic, but clean, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches (such as toiletries, a hair dryer, high-quality bath towels, comfortable bedding and memory foam pillows, dog treats and blankets, a coffee station, etc.)What really stood out was the host, Mike, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely great to converse with. He offered fantastic recommendations that made the stay even more enjoyable and personalized.The attention to detail throughout the space is impressive. Between the well-maintained facilities and the little extras, everything felt intentional. The fireplace was a highlight- it added such a warm, relaxing vibe and made the space even more inviting (in fact, the unit was so cozy that we ended up cancelling our plans just to stay in and enjoy it). The location in Thorold is also a plus- quiet and tucked away, yet still close enough to explore nearby St. Catharine’s and NOTL if you want to venture out. Overall, Red Door Retreat is an excellent choice for anyone looking to unwind, reflect, or simply take a break from the busy pace of life. I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely return again!

We had a comfortable , quiet experience. Within driving distance of all the destinations we planned to see. A short walk to a lovely Irish pub wit amazing food. Our virbo host was accommodating and available when we needed. I reccomend this first rate little home away from home. private entrance was available with a private patio. We would love to stay here again.

A little hideaway, and a great surprise at the end of the alley/ type hallway. A private getaway. So clean and welcoming and fun. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick getaway to Niagara on the lake. Thorold is not a far drive and it’s nice drive in wine country.

Amazing, awesome and beautiful.

This property has been designed for privacy, comfort and quiet. The property (a converted garage) is completely stocked and beautifully maintained and decorated. By far the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed at.
