Great location. Walkable to shopping, dining and theater. Large house; clean interior but worn exterior in need of cleaning and maintenance. Proximity to the water an enjoyable plus.

House has an excellent location/view, river was about 100 yards from the house. Town was a short walk away. Lavender hand soap was supplied in the bathrooms, very nice touch from a local Lavender grower.Overall house had amble closet space and updated showers.Found the place needing some upkeep, ie freshening of indoor paint, outdoor trimming of bushes & plants. We avoided using the grill smelled very fishy. Was hard to find a comfortable place to sit as the furniture was very dated and uncomfortable. Having these amenities on the rainy days during our visit would have been nice. For anyone having neck issues you may want to bring your own pillow.

Our group consisted of 6 adults staying at this charming spacious home for a week. The views were fantastic and the location was ideal for a tourist stay. It is a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to the town center either through the neighborhood or along the lake. We did a fair amount of cooking and there were plenty of pots, pans and utensils available (although curiously, only 5 coffee cups.) The kitchen was very functional and up to date. It was chilly outside during our stay and unfortunately the fireplace was not working, but the heating system kept us warm.There were several seating areas and although the furniture was a bit tired our group was well accommodated in the large space. The backyard had a nice seating area and a beautiful view of the lake, but could use some attention. There was no sign of the listed bike and kayak/canoe associated with the property. The best bed was in the primary bedroom, most comfortable by far. The other beds were not so comfortable. All in all, this was an enjoyable rental with a number of conveniences including ample parking, in a beautiful area.

Perfect Stay

We loved our stay at Elsa's place in Niagara-On-The-Lake. It felt like the perfect place to spend New Years and create beautiful family memories. It was clean, had everything we needed and was so spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would absolute stay again.

The location of this home is excellent, short drive or walk to the little town of Niagra-on-the-lake which is so pretty and has great shops and restaurants. It's also close to many top wineries that we visited.The home is very spacious and was comfortable for our group of 4 ladies. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio area for our coffees in the morning and happy hours in the afternoons.

It was excellent, beautiful and quiet. The house has a few areas that need "finishing", but didn't take away from the beauty! Would stay again.
