Wayne and Andrea were very welcoming. They met us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the treehouse. The bed is very comfortable, and the property is peaceful and serene. The treehouse is located on the river on the side of their property. We loved our stay!

This treehouse is so cute and has so much fun wildlife to watch. They're dog friendly which was a huge bonus for our old pittie girl who just wants to be with her peeps. The yard is super cute & relaxing. Everything we wanted to see/do was within 15-30min drive. All of Wayne & Andrea's little touches were very thoughtful!! 10/10 recommend.

The Creekside Retreat is incredible! Such a beautiful treehouse in the perfect location. We loved staying so conveniently close to Niagara Falls and St Catherine’s and then getting to come back to all this natural beauty at the end of the day. Campfires at night and quiet mornings with coffee watching the birds were very special. The hosts are the nicest people you’ll ever meet, checked in all the time to make sure we were doing well and did so much behind the scenes to make this a perfect anniversary trip for us.

This tree house was such a peaceful and beautiful part of our trip! Our hosts greeted us personally and showed us around the property. It is clear how much care and intention go into preparing this property for guests. We felt so welcomed and, while our stay was short, it was definitely a highlight of our trip. We also got to see so much wildlife in the short time that we stayed! If we are ever back in the Niagara Falls area, we would absolutely stay here again!

Charming cabin and great hosts. Lots to do in the surrounding region. The place has a nature preserve vibe. Our dogs loved the deck and could stay out for hours watching and smelling the birds, chipmunks and squirrels. The cabin is off grid, but beautiful and with all the modern conveniences. And our hosts, Wayne and Andrea, were great. Extremely welcoming. Great stay overall.

Dave and Zia were our guests at our treehouse this weekend for 3 nights , they were great guests and couple along with their 2 dogs that you didn't hear a peep from . They left the treehouse immaculate when they left and I would have no problem renting to them again , hopefully they do down the road or even be nice to meet up with them somewhere

The location was perfect-15 minutes away from the falls and 30 minutes away from Niagara-on-the-lake. The hosts met us when we got there and told us all about the cabin. They provided some snacks, wood for a fire, and even a birthday gift for my husband. We knew about the ladder to the loft bed, but there is very little room up there. If you don't cover the hole in the floor, you could easily fall through as it is right there as soon as you step out of bed. We enjoyed a quiet place to come back to and watching all of the animals. The cabin is new in 2025 and very clean. There are huge ants as you are staying in a tree house. We had some issues with no hot water at times in the shower.

Thank you so much for the perfect 10/10 rating! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again in the future! We definitely care about our guests safety and always tell them about the cover to place over the opening into the loft for sleeping. As far as the hot water in the shower goes, I so wish you would've let us know at the time so we could've been given the chance to address it right away.

Great stay and great host! The treehouse is very cute, comfy and solid. We were asked to park in front of a garage - you can’t see the treehouse from there. I took my husband as a surprise and he was very concerned once we pulled in. Though once we parked and walked around to the treehouse it was great.

Cozy, relaxing and fun impromptu getaway

If you want to be in nature but are not a fan of being totally immersed in the woods or don't have enough time for it but still want to ge away from the city, this is a perfect spot. Whitin 10min to Welland and about 25min to Niagara Falls, this treehouse is far enough from the city noise to trully enjoy nature. The house is cozy and adorable, you can see the creek from the terrace and enjoy the song of birds and spot many wild animals from the comfort of the house. The host, Wayne and Andrea are very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Even if we just stayed one night they helped us make the best out of it. The treehouse is comfortable, clean and fun to stay in. Even if it does not have a kitchen, the minifridge, microwave and closeness to restauraunts is all you need for a relaxing getaway from the city.
