Pride of ownership is evident. Very accurately represented in the advertisement
Minor issues were dealt with promptly, often within 20 minutes. The host maintains his property well, and comes to take care of the pool chemicals, lawns etc on a regular basis. One day before rain was coming, I noticed he had covered up the firewood he left us! We definitely would not have remembered to do that ourselves and we appreciated it.
House is really large, the guest house too. We were only 5 people and a dog but you can fit way way more even in the main house. Rooms are spacious, dining room is especially large. We enjoyed crafts and puzzles on one end and meals on the other. Guest house is really cute, spacious, and has a full kitchen which helped us a lot. Bedding and towels were fresh, beds made crisply.
The view is beautiful, especially at night it is really special. Huge lawns, recently mown.
Large driveway where my 5 year old learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She said it was the best day of her life.
There are 7+ distinct outdoor zones, an aerial view of the property would show this better (Brad you should totally get a drone shot before the fall comes!) The grounds are massive.
The lighting on the property is great for a tranquil night swim under the stars, with an incredible city view one way, and the expansive view of Lake Erie to the other.
Pool area is fully fenced and that was a huge asset. I didnât know when I booked that it would be that safe, anticipated having to make more rules about the pool with my 5 year old. This was a great feature. I wouldnât have to worry about the pool when I had my back turned, cooking etc. On that topic- Nice natural gas grill- no worries about running out of propane etc.
We stopped by a bakery in Niagara Falls called âThe Pie Plateâ because it was written up in Food and Drink magazine and my mom had torn out that page in anticipation of our trip. As a former pastry chef, I highly recommend their peach pie and the savoury tomato and cheese tarts. Oh and the butter tarts! We loved everything we got. It took us about 30 minutes to get there from the cottage.
