We had a fantastic stay at the Farm House and Niagara on the Lake. From our first inquiries through the end of our stay, Lara was quick and thorough with communication-- answering all of our questions and anticipating solutions to all of our needs-- including setting up a cot for us before our arrival and adding an extra day to our stay.
The Farm House was wonderful. Such a peaceful setting with a perfect blend of rustic farmhouse and modern vacation rental. Plenty of space, great kitchen, comfortable beds, -- every detail was thought through. Even though we didn't need them, there were dozens of DVDs - recent releases, popular TV shows, and classics-- for kids and adults, as well as games and toys for younger kids.
We went back and forth trying to decide to stay in a hotel near the falls or at Niagara on the Lake and I can't believe we ever considered staying near the falls. Niagara on the Lake and the farmhouse are close enough (15-20 minutes) to hit the attractions at the falls and get away from the crowds by dinner time.
Our highlights (other than Niagara Falls):
On the way back to Niagara on the Lake - Niagara Glen Nature Center - beautiful hike down to the Niagara River (free)-- almost had the forest and river to ourselves.
During the summer- less than a 5 minute walk from the Farm House - Wednesday night Suppermarket - almost 2 dozen food trucks, local wineries and breweries, and live music. So much fun and such an easy dinner where all of us (four adults and three children) could choose our own dinners, socialize with friendly people, listen to music, enjoy some wine and beer, and walk back to the house.
This was a fantastic VRBO. Highest recommendation. Friendly and helpful owner. 20 minutes from Niagara falls-- but so worth it to have such a beautiful, private, and relaxing place to stay.
