We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! It was private, quiet and the perfect place to unwind after a day of activities. Perfect for two people and fully appointed; it is also very clean and tastefully decorated. The host was so welcoming and easy to work with. She even stocked us with coffee!

About the host

Hosted by The Bouw Family

Host profile image
The Bouw Family has lived in the Niagara area for over 55 years. Love to travel, enjoy meeting people from all over the world. Our kids are grown yet live close by. We wanted to share our country setting, which is so perfect to relax in yet close to everything is you wish to be active.

Why they chose this property

Why this gem people do ask......
We personally had a health situation where we had to fly to Red Deer to take care of a family member and were lucky enough to find a home to stay in while we took care of our loved one. We saw the opportunity for this building, now our newly renovated cottage, to enable us to do the same for people who happen to have sick ones in our local hospital which is close by. A place to stay, to cook, to relax, to re-coup and self energize.

What makes this property unique

A quiet patio to enjoy the birds, squirrels and occasional deer.
A treed lot to sit in the shade.
A little kitchen to relax, cook and enjoy.
A gas BBQ on the patio
A wood burning fire pit surrounded by 4 muskoka chairs
