Second stay was a good as the first

We really enjoyed the property. It's adorable and has has everything you need. The bed is so comfortable, you don't want to get up in the morning! The only downside was there was alot of small spiders and spider webs inside of the cottage.

Excellent Accommodations

We where hoping to find a place in St Catharines. This was the prefect location. The cottage was very spacious and comfortable. If we ever need a place in this same area in the future, we would definitely look to see if Oak Lane Cottage is available.

Cottage is ideal for 2 people, location is great to access the great wineries in the area as well as local nurseries. Communication was great and easy check in. Just a note that the cottage is on a secluded road with just a few houses.

Clean and cozy

We enjoyed our stay here for three nights. Very close to Stonewall Estates where we attended a wedding. The property provided everything we needed. Other than the fact that it felt a little “worn” I would recommend it.

Very cute cottage

We stayed a couple days, it was very nice!! The only thing I would say is the street wasn’t labeled. We had a hard time finding the cottage but eventually did. Nice area, lots of vineyards, and stores, great time!!😄

Nice getaway close to St. Catharines

It's a really nice, private, little cottage just outside the west side of St. Catharines in the country. The cottage was clean, there was ample parking out front and we found it exactly as listed. It's the perfect getaway for an anniversary celebration in the Niagara region.

The cottage was a perfect place to get away yet close to great attractions!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! It was private, quiet and the perfect place to unwind after a day of activities. Perfect for two people and fully appointed; it is also very clean and tastefully decorated. The host was so welcoming and easy to work with. She even stocked us with coffee! We highly recommend this rental!!

30th Wedding Anniversary

My husband and I wanted a little spot to rest while visiting all of the beautiful places around the area. This little place was the perfect size for our needs. It was pretty cold, so we weren't able to enjoy the lovely firepit or the grill outside, but we enjoyed the cozy indoor fireplace and sitting in front of it in the evenings while we unwound from a day of adventure. Would highly recommend this place!

Perfect little cottage

This was a great stay in a great little cottage. Short list: The area feels quiet, but is so very close to everything. You can see the TV from the couch, bed and kitchen. You can control the interior temperature. The bed is comfy, the couch is comfy, the hot water is instant, the internet is fast. The cottage shares a driveway with another house, which surprised me when I arrived, but please don't worry, the cottage has privacy. The host is extremely friendly and responsive. I would 100% stay here again.

WONDERFUL LITTLE STAY HERE!

Can't stay enough great things about this property. Ideal location, JUST off the beaten path in the peace and quiet but a 5-min to restaurants, groceries and everything you might need. Even within walking distance of the 13st Street Winery! The little cottage is absolutely perfect for 2, cozy, tastefully decorated, spotless and perfectly equipped. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Linda was extremely responsive and eager to offer suggestions. This rental EXCEEDS expectations and is even better than the pic's suggest, we will coming back and staying here again at least a couple of times a year from now on. Thank you Linda! : )

This was a cute, off the beaten track, place to stay. Close to Niagara Falls, and wine country. Small boutique shops and farm stands everywhere so we were able to buy fresh produce, and local meats, cheese and wine to enjoy on the patio. A full kitchen was available on our rainy day, and a bbq when it was sunny. The only thing i would change, is to make one area of the fence a bit more private. Great stay, wonderful owners ready to help in minutes. Will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by The Bouw Family

The Bouw Family has lived in the Niagara area for over 55 years. Love to travel, enjoy meeting people from all over the world. Our kids are grown yet live close by. We wanted to share our country setting, which is so perfect to relax in yet close to everything is you wish to be active.

Why they chose this property

Why this gem people do ask......
We personally had a health situation where we had to fly to Red Deer to take care of a family member and were lucky enough to find a home to stay in while we took care of our loved one. We saw the opportunity for this building, now our newly renovated cottage, to enable us to do the same for people who happen to have sick ones in our local hospital which is close by. A place to stay, to cook, to relax, to re-coup and self energize.

What makes this property unique

A quiet patio to enjoy the birds, squirrels and occasional deer.
A treed lot to sit in the shade.
A little kitchen to relax, cook and enjoy.
A gas BBQ on the patio
A wood burning fire pit surrounded by 4 muskoka chairs
