Great place!
The house was really amazing! My family and I really enjoyed our stay on the lake. My granddaughters loved finding sea glass on the rocks near the shoreline. We all enjoyed the hot tub and amazing views from the back porch! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us 😊 Lisa, Paul and family

Our favorite place to hang out was the veranda. We couldn’t get over the tropical feel. Denise was very attentive to all questions and needs. Being in walking distance to great restaurants and the beach was perfect.

Perfect location
The house was beautiful and well appointed. The location was amazing. Close to town and the lake was clear and a perfect temperature for swimming. The kids could kayak to the public beach to play in the sand. Can’t wait to go back again!

A special property
It was very much like staying at a private resort. We had a lot of plans, but rarely left the property; it made no sense to go anywhere. Every day, all day, the views are incredible. The kitchen and connected deck were great places to hang out, cook or soak in the hot tub. The patio below was outstanding for cocktails and evening fires. The lake has a soft sand bar that is great for swimming, standing around or floating around with noodles, and we even went for walks parallel to the shore. And there were always the kayaks for something else to do. Denise is also an excellent host.

A beautiful property and place to vacation and relax at.
A luxurious property with stunning sunsets, a gorgeous back porch to relax on and lakefront access for swimming and kayaking in the lake. We really enjoyed the short walk into town for dinner, an ice cream cone and a long walk on the pier at the breach. Everything was perfect and we hope to come back soon!

Relaxing waterfront getaway
My husband and I along with a couple of friends were looking for a quiet weekend away from our hectic lives. This home was just what we needed. We spent the majority of our time on the deck over looking the lake. Every amenity that we needed was available. The property owner is amazing and went above and beyond.

Beautiful Property!
The property was beautifully decorated and afforded us stunning views of the lake where you could actually see downtown Toronto on a clear day. The house was situated on a cliff-side that led right to the water, where you could wade in for hundreds of feet. Everything was clean and accessible and had magazine good looks. The hostess was extremely accommodating and made us feel welcome and comfortable from the get-go.

We built our dream home and live here with our children. It's a beautiful place to live, visit, and relax, so we share it when we travel.

Why they chose this property

The views are stunning. If this place doesn't scream "relax and enjoy your holiday", nothing will.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets will blow your mind. Most people come to be in the heart of Niagara Wine Country. Many hardly leave our home because they find it so relaxing and fun!
