Captain David very thorough explaining everything,a great cabin feel with a magnificent view of Lake Ontario, the sound of waves against the shore was soothing and credit to a restful evening added to the dancing flames from the Bob-fire.

The cottage was very clean, kitchen well equipped. Very nice view of the lake and lovely sunsets. It is a very quiet location, good for relaxing and sleeping. Owner was attentive and responded quickly to a question. The location is convenient to Lewiston, Artpark, Fort Niagara, Lockport, Niagara Falls and Canada. There is a town beach nearby and we enjoy visiting the Wilson Harbor. Check in was easy.

Lovely, Quaint, Quiet Cottage

We had a wonderful time! The views of Lake Ontario are amazing. While sitting on the back deck the only thing we could hear was wind and waves in this very quiet neighborhood. The cottage is clean and comfortable. This is a lovely place.

This trip will always be a significant life experience. Dave and his wife were super clear with directions, instructions and support. The cottage indoor's, is very spacious with comfortable seating.My favorite things were the windows covering the house that had a million dollar view. Outside plenty of lake front space.

We have stayed in numerous rental properties over the years but this property was our best experience overall. Great views of lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline opposite. The property was clean, quiet, with great indoor space. We expected it to be smaller than it turned out to be. We had a great time exploring the nearby shops, wineries, and restaurants. Captain Mike was the consummate host. We'll be back. Is it possible to give 6 stars?

Excellent location

The property is located at excellent location. Beautiful view and the neighborhood is amazing. The only reason that I gave 4 star instead of 5 was twofold: there was no WiFi, instead, there was a LAN cable and I could not connect to the internet since there is almost no cellphone signal. Also, we saw a mouse in the kitchen, but I think it may be normal for this type of cottage.

Perfect weekend getaway

This was the perfect place for a relaxing, peaceful, quiet and restful time away from home. I could sit on the deck or in the living room for hours and listen to the waves hit the rocks on the shore. The sunset was beautiful and I loved watching the hummingbirds during the day and the fireflies light up the night. The place was as described and communication with the property manager was great. We would definitely go back. Thanks for letting us stay there. We definitely needed the down time and a trip to Black Bird Cider Hall in Barker added to the trip.

Cute property that is wonderful to have the doors open and listen to the sound of the waves. Nice location away from town but not too far away perfect for a couple.

Exactly what we wanted!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was clean and well-stocked, location was great (beautiful waterfront views, and just enough off the beaten path) and hosts were very conscientious about making sure we enjoyed our stay. Would love to visit again some day. Great place.
