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.

Quiet and pleasant neighborhood

Very nice and quiet, easy to get to, there's a mall with grocery store and drug store near by ! Not far by car to Niagara-on-the-lake and Niagara itself, Clinton Hill, St-Catharines, etc. i felt safe walking my dog in the area, even late at night. Really, I would rent this place again, wiht no hesitation!

It’s a cute little place! The property manager is quick at responding to questions. The room was clean and had air conditioning. I was a little off put by the stains on some of the sheets but we took those off before sleeping. Overall I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to stay in the area!

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.
