About this property

Escape to the countryside and relax! Many varied attractions nearby for all.

Nestled on 23 acres of land that run adjacent to the Welland river is an updated 3000 sq. ft. century old farmhouse that is ready to become your family's favourite get-away.
During the summer months, a seasonal room is available with a king bed and the farmhouse can comfortably sleep 13 people. The seasonal room is closed in the winter months.

The farm is located south of the Twenty Valley Wine Country and there are a variety of wine tour companies that will pick up your parties at the farm and will drop you off following a lovely day of wine tasting. If you prefer more nature than wine, there are many beautiful parks and a sandy beach on Lake Erie only a short drive away...and the infamous Niagara Falls and all of its attractions are only a 35 minute drive away.

Plenty of sleeping spaces can be found in the four upstairs bedrooms. A king size bed and a four piece ensuite are found in the large master bedroom; an adjacent bedroom has two bunk beds that can sleep four to six; a queen bed is found in the third spacious bedroom and in the fourth bedroom has a king bed. A three piece bathroom is also located on the upper floor.
On the main floor, a king bed is tucked privately away and additional sleeping spaces can be found on a comfortable pull out sofa that is in a quiet sitting room and on the comfortable couches in the family room.
A third spacious bathroom is located on the main floor and is equipped with a shower.
Multiple eating spaces can be found between the kitchen and the dining room, which has three patio doors facing the river. The large family room has a large Smart TV, Blu-ray player and a big and varied selection of DVDs. There are multiple games for the family to enjoy as well as a selection of children and adult books and puzzles.
A large in-ground pool and a hot tub are two of the extra amenities that will make your retreat memorable.
The kitchen is stocked with almost anything you would need during your stay. Crock pot, punch bowl, serving trays, serving bowls and bakeware are just some of the extras besides the multitude of plates, glassware and cutlery provided. There a few pantry staples, herbs and spices, and condiments provided.
A 10 acre forest is located on the south end of the property with well-appointed walking trails and a charming little shack. Several kayaks and a canoe are available for use in the river that runs along the length of the property. A BBQ with propane and some firewood is provided.
An 18 hole golf course and a family diner are in walking distance of the property.

Lovely farmhouse with an excellent selection of amenities. We stayed over christmas and loved the extra touch in all the holiday decor. This place is very charming and Lindy goes the extra mile to make it feel welcoming.The pull out sofa is not a very comfortable sleep, so keep that in mind if you have a large group.There are plenty of sitting areas and we loved the dinning space. Would love to come back and experience it in the warmer weather.

Thanks for being a wonderful family to host over the holiday season. The mattress on the pullout couch was an upgrade from the original one but it’s definitely not the ideal bed in the house. I’ll look into other options for the pull out. Would love to have you back in the summer sometimes!

Incredible Weekend!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here for my husband’s 30th birthday. The house is beautifully decorated with lots of space to relax, and the property is incredible with endless activities and games. The chickens on the property were an added bonus - everyone loved watching them roam around in their pen.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Pine Creek Acres was wonderful! The home was perfect for our group of adults and children. We spend most of our time in the pool but enjoyed the large yard for our annual kickball game, spent time using the kayaks and canoe and loved our bonfires at night. Accommodations were incredible and Lindy and Justin were great to work with. We loved our summer getaway this year and would highly recommend to others!!!

Family fun near the Falls

We booked this property in the middle of winter and it did not disappoint as a wonderful summer family vacation stop. The farmhouse was very spacious and charming, the pool, hot tub and back patio was our main gathering place. The chicken farm never door blessed of with great wildlife and fresh eggs daily. Our hostess was amazing.

Tranquility and Beauty

From the precheck in process, right through to our final moments, our host was fantastic and the house surpassed our expectations! The property offers tranquil country views while being close to amenities (although the beauty made it hard to leave!) The home is imaccualately maintained, superior equipped and offers so much flexibility for multi families. Our kids utilized the outdoor covered space and bunks to hang out with their friends and allowed parents time to decompress! 12/10!! Would absolutely book again when in the area!

This is the second time my family and I have stayed here. The entire property and house is absolutely beautiful. The property is pristine and conveniently located near multiple attractions and conveniences. The host put so much thought and attention to detail when it comes to making our stay a peaceful and stress free escape. She has put a lot of thought into providing anything you may need during your stay. The host was also extremely efficient when it came to communication, which made the check in and check out process seamless. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Family time

We returned for a second family vacation. Amazing time. The pool is where we spent most of our time. Great fire pit for s'mores. Very well equipped kitchen. Lots of seating for big groups to eat inside or out. Really comfortable beds and lots of space for everyone. The back covered deck gives shade and a spot for pool breaks or night time cards and the front porch rocking chairs were enjoyed too. Even caught a fish in the river.

Fabulous property! Extremely clean, plenty of room, great pool, hot tub and outdoor space.

Six moms enjoyed a relaxing stay on our annual getaway weekend. We spent most of the weekend outside enjoying each others company, despite some rain, thanks to the covered patio. We really appreciated having a second fridge as we cooked all of our meals during our stay. Very organized recycling too! Everyone had a lovely time. The ladies all commented on how clean the farmhouse was and it is a lot of house to clean and turn around in between guests. We would like to return next year :-). Thanks so much Lindy!

Exceeded Expectations

The property exceeded our expectations. It was peaceful, calm and well appointed. We made full use of the property. Our kids loved the pool, which was kept at a lovely temperature! There were quiet nooks and lots to do. The kayaks were a highlight! The house was incredibly clean and well decorated. It felt like home for a few days. Lindy was a treat to work with. She answered questions and even followed up with us when we accidentally left a few things behind. We would love to stay here again!

I was looking for the perfect property to celebrate my husband's milestone birthday weekend with our adult children and grandchildren. This beautiful, quaint well-equipped farmhouse in Pelham fit the bill for everyone. It is a beautiful property on the Welland River with a pool, hot tub, covered deck with lots of green space to spread out and throw a ball around. The bedrooms are very well appointed with very comfortable beds. The bunkbed room was a hit with the 3 grandsons who hung out and bonded a bit more. We had great expectations for weather - but despite the constant rain over the weekend we had a great time. The kids used the pool and we enjoyed the hot tub and covered deck and there was ample comfortable space to spread out, play games, and enjoy each other's company. We were there for just two nights and were hoping to get a kayak ride in and a baseball game going but those will need to wait for next time. The rain cleared up just in time Sunday morning for a local photographer to take some family photos. The big red barn proved to be a great back drop.Can't say enough about our host Lindy. She communicated in a timely, positive manner, and we were so appreciative that our family dogs could join us. We got to meet Lindy and her family when we arrived as they were just finishing up on their extensive lawns and gardens. They are the type of folks who you would like to invite for drinks and dinner.All in all a fun and memorable weekend! Thanks Lindy

About the host

Hosted by Lindy

Host profile image
I am an advanced care paramedic in the Niagara Region and love animals and being outdoors. I was raised in a small village of 350 people, I enjoyed years of living in a city and it's nearby amenities, but in the end, the serenity of the countryside won my heart.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property before it was even listed. I remember the sunlight hitting the big old red barn on the property and thinking how I would love to get pictures taken there. I bought the farm and it has been the family gathering place ever since.

What makes this property unique

I am a dedicated bird feeder, so if you love birds, you'll be guaranteed to have some fun sightings! This spring we have had LOTS of activity: indigo buntings, baltimore orioles, hummingbirds, yellow finches by the dozen, cardinals, red-winged blackbirds, chickadees, a variety of woodpeckers, blue jays, grosbeaks, mourning doves, nuthatches, juncos (winter regulars) as well as turkey vultures and bluebirds nesting on the property. The occassional hoot can also be heard by a pair of Great Horned Owls.
