About the host
Hosted by Michael Scarlato
I worked for the Toronto Transit Commission for about 30 years and then retired. I then was hired by design company where I learned a new skill of which made me open my own business after five years my wife and I decided to retire and relocate to this lovely oasis Niagara On The Lake. My wife has worked in the fashion and design community for 40 years. We purchased this second property in order to welcome people to this historic area. Hoping that our visitors would discover the Niagara Peninsula's natural beauty and for a few days or weeks relax and enjoy all it has to offer. Please contact us if you have any inquires.
Why they chose this property
This "old Town" is heaven on earth for us. Niagara On The Lake is a place in history which time has blessed and we wanted to enjoy it for ourselves and now would like to share it with you.
