About this property

GORGEOUS WATERFRONT in Ridgeway/Crystal Beach! JUST RENOVATED & REOPENED!

License # STR2020-0078 - Update as of June 18th, 2024 - We are now back for Summer 2024 and even better than ever! We have completely transformed this beautiful lakeside retreat - both inside and outside! Check out the new video and all the new photos!
From a couple's getaway to a family reunion, this restored home is perfect for a special holiday. Offering fabulous charm and character with a perfect blend of modern touches and classic style. This executive level 2700+ sq ft home can accommodate 2 to 8 with 3 bedrooms on 2nd floor, 1 on main and a finished area on the walkout lower level.

NOTE: Only a maximum of 3 bedrooms can be used for guests staying less than 31 days. In this case, one of the bedrooms must be locked off as per town of Fort Erie bylaws.

Clean and immaculately cared for throughout. All sitting on the water's edge of Lake Erie.

Set back from the quiet laneway style roadway, sits this beautiful turn of the century home right on the water's edge that's been transformed into the modern era yet retains its charm and character.

A long paved driveway with plenty of room for parking leads up to the home. Four different accesses into the home provide ease of coming and going. From the new sit out front porch, you will walk straight into the kitchen great for bringing in the groceries. The kitchen is BRAND NEW - bright and modern with a gas stove, a large fridge, built-in dishwasher plus an extensive array of cooking pots, pans, dishes and accessories.

The side door off the driveway and upper patio area leads to a wide open main floor dining and living area with beamed ceilings and a huge fireplace whether for ambiance in the summer or to warm up in the winter season. Off the living room are patio doors leading to a new large deck with privacy fencing and a gas bbq - along with beautiful views overlooking the lake. There is a 8 person outdoor dining table and a 8 person indoor dining table.

The best room in the home could be the main floor sun den with its large wrap around windows perfect for relaxing with a good book with a coffee or glass of wine in hand or while you simply look out and enjoy the wide water views.

There is also a main floor bedroom with queen sized bed with a newly added shower inside the bedroom plus a 2 piece powder room nearby off the hallway. This optional main floor bedroom works well for seniors or person’s with physical challenges.

A beautiful wood staircase leads up to the second floor landing.

The master bedroom suite has its own sitting area with natural fireplace and private ensuite with combined tub and shower and new vanity. It offers stunning water views from your bedside overlooking the lake thru a large set of windows. Please note: only store purchased "firelogs" permitted in this room.

The second floor also has 2 additional good sized light and bright bedrooms with queen beds and another bathroom with large shower. (When the main floor bedroom is used by a guest, we must close off access to one of these bedrooms due to the town’s short term rental bylaws).

The lower level is almost like a separate living space although can be accessed either by a staircase off the living room on the main floor or by way of a ground floor walkout to the rear yard with its own patio area. More great views from inside or out of this spacious area!

Washers and dryers are provided in the storage room.

The huge lot and lawn area gently slopes down to the water's edge. Stepping into the lake is nice and shallow and very gradual. Perfect for swimming and floating around for kids of all ages:)

There's also a fire pit down by the water for your use subject to the weather permitting as per town fire regulations.

As "Superhosts", you can be assured that you’ll enjoy your stay here and that we’ll be here to guide and assist you in order for you to have a great vacation.

Hopefully we covered it all however, if we missed something that you are wondering about, we welcome you to send us any questions you might have.

Please Note:
We sometimes use this as our second home for our family during the off season and the odd occasion when there is availability in the most popular summer season. We are sometimes tweaking the furniture and decor. As you can likely tell from the new photos and video which were taken in September 2023, we have transformed this home both inside and out for the 2024 season! We are confident that you will love it here!

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Hendriks & Heather Rusk

Host profile image
Heather and I were born and raised in the Niagara Region. We love all that this beautiful area has to offer! Heather owns a boutique home decor and jewelry store in nearby St.Catharines and does interior design and consulting. I've been in the real estate business for over 25 years. Mixing our two careers together creates a great combinations - a love for real estate and creating special places for people to stay during their holidays. We live both in Crystal Beach and St.Catharines. It's just about a 30 minute drive between the two so very convenient for work and play.

Why they chose this property

If you haven't been to the Crystal Beach area, you will fall in love after just one stay. There's nothing like being right on the water and as soon as we saw this waterfront gem in the Fall of 2017, we fell in love with it and wanted to share with others. Charm and character mixed with modern touches and amenities - all in a peaceful and stunning waterfront setting.
