Wonderful stay!

We only stayed one night at the hoblet on the way up to Lake Ontario, but we had a great time! Dawn is so nice and accommodating, the place was great, we absolutely loved petting the goats and all the farm animals. Would definitely come back again!❤️

Fun/unique little getaway 😊

The Twiglet was super cute and we really enjoyed our stay. Dawn, the host, was really nice and the goats were so fun! …Would definitely recommend a stay if you enjoy animals and a unique little place to unplug from technology.

Petra is a fantastic host!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at "The Hoblet" my wife describes it as a magical place! Petra was like having our travel agent next door, she gave great advice and made our trip to the falls fantastic.

...glad you enjoyed "our" Niagara, it sounds like a commercial I know but there really is so much more than just the falls. It was our pleasure. With appreciation, Petra

Lovely little cottage in the country

The Twiglet was a great spot for a long weekend getaway. Only 15 minute drive to Niagara Falls. Located on an animal sanctuary- we could feed and pet the animals (goats, alpacas, horses, donkey, turkeys, and ducks). This “tiny home” was a perfect couples retreat!

Wonderful place to relax with my family

Thank you for the warm welcome and the opportunity for my children to enjoy being outside - the goats and donkeys are magic. They make cold weather disappear and being outside a treat. .

enchanting

The twiglet provided a window to the animals on the property and the perfect place to curl up and read a good book! It was a short drive to the falls and also provided a nice respite from all the action of clifton hill. Would stay again!

The perfect getaway!

This was the absolute perfect stay from the easy check in, coziest cabin, fun with farm animals, and incredible communication from hosts! We felt out in the country while also having access to everything within 15 minutes! It was perfect, we would 10/10 recommend and come again! Thank you!

This was a wonderful, unique accommodation. A completely different experience from my usual business travel. Unplugged evenings, animals yo say hello to, trickling water features. Tiny house relaxation.

Very Cool Spot!

If you love animals then come here. I've never stared so deep into an alpacas eyes with it, at least what seemed, like it was smiling back at me lol. The cabin was cosy and suited all needs. We would definitely recommend.

Best place I have ever stayed

Every inch of the property is absolutely beautiful and staying so close to all of the animals was magical. Dawn is the kindest BNB host I’ve ever met as well and makes you feel at home here. You can walk around the conservatory freely and visit and/or feed the animals whenever you want. My girlfriend and I ended up booking an extra day here because we loved it so much. Can’t recommend it enough

Beautiful oasis with goat and alpaca friends!

We had a great time staying in the Twiglet! What a cute and cozy cabin! And staying around the animals was an extra treat… we loved saying hello to all the goats, alpaca, and ducks with special appearances by the farm dogs and cat. Dawn was great too! Easy to communicate with and clear easy instructions for checking in. The Twiglet was the perfect peaceful oasis after a busy day exploring to Niagara Falls area. Would love to come back again!

Relax in solitude a short drive from Niagara!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hoblet. This was a great, very quiet place to stay but still only a 15 minute drive from Niagara Falls. Petra and Mush were excellent hosts, attending to our needs while granting us our privacy. If you're looking for relaxing solitude, this is a great option. We even got to enjoy several fresh apples picked direct from her tree. Just wish we hadn't missed the nectarines! Maybe next stay.

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to send a review. So glad you enjoyed the apples and taking the drive along the parkway to experience the fruit stands in Niagara, alot of folks miss that. We will save some nectarines for you next time! Much appreciated.

Peaceful and relaxing

We booked this property based on reviews by previous guests. We were not disappointed. The owners were gracious and a great source of information for things to do in the area that were not so touristy. From enjoying our morning coffee on the covered porch to feeding the rescue animals on the property... It was a very relaxing vacation. If we make it to that area again, we would definitely stay here.

Exactly what is advertised

This was a fun time having a goat greeting and so many animals to adore. Well-kept tiny house - very peaceful and quiet. All you can do is relax with no internet service. A great experience
