About the host
Hosted by Kelley Bartlett
We are a family of four - Kelley, Jason and our 2 sons. Our home is in Burlington; both Jason and I are self-employed.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a place to unwind, close to friends and close to what our kids love....the beach, Safari Niagara, and ice cream! One of the reasons we picked this property is because it's close enough to the beach to get there comfortably (a short walk) but far enough away that it's quiet. It's a double lot so that allows the wide side deck still leaving lots of room for yard games and a fire pit (everyone loves s'mores). The cottage has a h/e gas furnace making it usable all year and although it's not perfect, we love it and are making it better each year. This is only our fourth year and already we have put in a brand new bathroom, a new washing machine, water heater and furnace and updated the plumbing, changed out the bedroom doors, repainted and updated the flooring in the enclosed porch. Oh, and we added a front deck! We have done all this and still kept the 'cottagey' feel.
What makes this property unique
As I mentioned, it's close enough to walk to the beach, shops, restaurants and market, but far enough away that it's quiet. Various attractions are a short drive away ... Safari Niagara in Stevensville and of course, the famous Niagara Falls. Nearby Ridgeway has some unique shops and fine dining. Also nearby is the Friendship Trail.
