Ideal location with unbelievably charming vintage decor nestled in the heart of Niagara on the Lake! We loved our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance!
The Alexander McKee house was charming and historically fascinating! The amenities were perfect. The location was one block away from all the shops and businesses in the Niagara on the Lake historic district, plus within walking distance to the parks and towpaths where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. Last, but not least, Sindy was an excellent hostess and always available if needed.

My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend this delightful little house in Old Town. It’s well outfitted and very clean, and we appreciate the good communication with the owner. Fantastic location, too!
Perfect location with a short walk to town. The house was charmingly decorated to reflect the period. Check-in was smooth, very clean, host communication was great. I would definitely stay there again.
This charming, cozy house is in the perfect location to walk to theaters and restaurants in downtown. Sindy was a wonderful host, very attentive and responsive. We will definitely stay here again!
This is such a cozy and welcoming house, not to mention very clean. It had everything we needed for a very comfortable long weekend stay. We also really enjoyed the historic charm of the place. The location is excellent, and Sindy is a very friendly host.
Great allocation just off king st, . Small and quaint cottage feel, everything for a great stay available. Owner was wonderful to deal with, and very easy to check in and out.
This property is well maintained and perfect for a couple. The location is great and everything we needed was available. There was good communication with the owner. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
Great location, historic charm and the owners were easy to work with! My wife and I along with our 3 month old had a great stay at this property. Walking distance to everything and spacious bedrooms made all the difference for us. We will defintely be back!
