We enjoyed our time at this property and would stay here again. The host has put a lot of time and effort into the home. In particular, we enjoyed the well maintained yard. We also appreciated the host's knowledge of the area and helpful suggestions.

What a lovely home! It comes with everything and is clean, quiet and conveniently located near Niagara on the Lake, wineries, the Falls, but also to the necessary grocery and convenience stores. Beds are comfy and the downstairs is very large with a big screen TV and two couches. Jodie greeted us and ran us through anything we might question later, plus came with a lovely basket of fruit. I would do this again! Oh - and the back yard garden is lovely.

Great location if you are looking for a quiet retreat not far from the town and many wineries and the local breweries. Jodie our host was very attentive to details making it easy for us to enjoy our stay. The location also was very close to a nature trail that led to a beach only a km away which we really enjoyed.

A Nice Little Get-away

The house is beautifully situated and was very clean and comfortable for the 6 of us. We particularly enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evening after a day of winery hopping and visiting the shops in town. All in all, a wonderful 3-day retreat.

A wonderful place for a family get-together

We were 6 adults (my husband, brother, son, daughter, and her fiance). We had a great time relaxing in the beautiful and spacious backyard, playing croquet, barbecuing, reading. The lake was a short walk away. Jodie and David were wonderful hosts and very accessible. We spent three nights there and all had a wonderful time.

Escape to nature!

This house was beautiful inside and out! There are beautiful flowers and gardens all around the property and a nice patio with a table to enjoy your coffee at in the morning or dinner in the evening. There is also a fire pit and plenty of firewood. The inside is very clean and well stocked with everything from towels, blankets, and kitchenware. Jodie is an excellent host and will ensure you have a great stay. The house is located about 5 minutes from the middle of the town with lots of shops and restaurants near by. There are also several wineries close by. Niagara Falls is only about 30 minutes away as well. This house is in a great location and is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Niagara on the Lake.

Bracken House is Perfect For Your NOTL Getaway

The Bracken House is one of the nicest VRBO properties we have stayed at anywhere. We are a group of friends meeting in NOTL for a bit of theatre at the Shaw Festival as well as some sightseeing. The Bracken house was perfect for our group. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but very well equipped and the furniture is both comfortable and accommodating for catching up with our old friends and having a glass of wine or two. Jodie, our host, met us at the house on our arrival and showed us where everything was. She is an artist and lots of her ceramic works as well as some other art decorate the home. The house is somewhat secluded with a very private backyard seating area and fire pit. Lots of birds visit the birdfeeder providing entertaining viewing. Although the listing only shows 2 baths, there is a full bath downstairs that we used as well. The downstairs tv room is very comfortable for relaxing and watching a movie at night after a day full of sightseeing, shopping, or perhaps to enjoy that wine you bought at one of the many vineyards in the area. Jodie also provided a detailed book explaining how things work, how to handle recycling, composting, and garbage, and some suggestions about the area. Very helpful.

Blissful holiday at Bracken House

We had a blissful 12 day Christmas holiday at the wondrous Bracken House. Stormy weather had us arrive into NOTL one day earlier than planned and Jodie and David were able to accommodate us. Arriving early evening into a beautifully lite home all decked out for Christmas with a fire started and so many lovely touches throughout the house, was just the best! The home is immaculate, and so warm and inviting. With the storm blowing outside, we hardly left our place for several days. The huge windows throughout the home on a large private lot, allowed us to be snuggled inside while we watched nature whirling around us. The birds and squirrels, including the rare silver squirrel were a marvel to watch. We made use daily of the fully equipped gourmet kitchen and had everything we needed to prepare a holiday turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The large entertainment room in the basement was perfect for movies and game nights as well as a quiet place to do some work when needed. The bedrooms are beautiful appointed and serene with beds that are oh so comfortable. Together with three well equipped bathrooms, we had all the space a family could need. We LOVED our stay at Bracken House and we loved our adventures in NOTL, Niagara Falls as well as St Catherine’s, all within a short distance from the house. NOTL was all decked out for Christmas and with the pristine snow everywhere, the town truly lived up to its promise of ‘prettiest town in Canada’. We felt truly blessed to have such a lovey holiday. Thank you Jodie and David for offering up your wonderful home and hospitality. It was the best!!!

Very nice stay

It is a perfect location near NOTL, Jodie was great, she was there when we arrived to show us around the place and would respond quickly if we had any questions. The place was clean and the backyard with the firepit was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and or go biking.

Our Vacation at Bracken house.

We had an excellent time. Jodie, the owner lives nearby and she is easily available. House is located in a nice quiet area. Every thing which we needed was in the house. Jodie gave us informative tour of the house and neighborhood. We enjoyed in the house interesting books, board games, firepit in the backyard, birds, all nearby attractions and scenic route to Niagara. One very interesting hidden gem is nearby secluded beach. It just appears out of nowhere after walking few metres along a narrow wooded path. It was refreshing and rejuvenating experience. Thank you Jodie and Vrbo.
