Prime Location, rated by Toronto Star as one of the top 10 best streets in Ontario to live on.

    A stones throw to Queen Street boutiques, fine dining, pubs & Clock Tower. Shaw Festival Theatre short stroll away.

    Situated in the heart of old Town Niagara-On-The -Lake, only a block away from Queens Royal & Simcoe Park and the Niagara River. Golf Course & National Fort George Historic Park just down the street.

    The bathroom is on the main level- fresh towels, soaps, shampoo, toilet, shower & all the essentials. Charming living room has a pull out sofa.
    The separate dining room has beautiful hand made table by local craftsman. The chandelier and all other lighting fixtures are handmade which would have been typical in a house of this time period in 1835. There is seating for 4 people.

    Enjoy your breakfast on the porch. Toaster, drip coffee maker, kettle, coffee, tea & sugar provided along with all kitchen essentials to prepare your favourite meal.
    BBQ and flagstone patio with table & chairs for your enjoyment.

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.
