The cottage is very charming, and well appointed, and very close to the downtown street of Niagara On The Lake. Also a short walk to the waterfront where there's a path and some historic sites. The off street parking was very handy. We enjoyed using the outdoor spaces as well - the patio in the back and the verandah on the front. We used the house as a base to visit various sites in the region, and it was ideal for this. Sindy was easy to contact and very helpful.

You can't beat the location of this cute historic home in Niagara on the Lake. You're a couple blocks away from all the great shops and restaurants, but not on a busy street either. The house is historically decorated and very clean. We also appreciated all the personal touches Sindy made like providing shampoo/conditioner, coffee, tea, etc. We would definitely stay again!

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.

This lovely heritage property will transport you back in time. It is impeccable and so nicely appointed with beautiful period furnishings. Waking up to the sound of bells chiming and the clip clop of the horses and they pulled the carriages past the house was the icing on cake of this serene place. Sindy, our host was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was so welcoming and attentive.
