The house was exactly as advertised. Good communication with owner and getting in was easy. We loved sitting in the chairs on the front porch. Very clean and decorated in the period of the home with beautiful wide plank floors. Everything we needed was available. And the location was perfect

Stay in Niagara-On-The-Lake

The house was in great location. It was close enough to the shopping district and the theaters, but far enough away to be private. The house was cozy and comfy. It is fully equipped with everything you need. The bathroom is on the first floor while the bedrooms are on the second floor which could be a concern for some people. We had a great time and really enjoyed the vacation house!

Loved! Loved! Loved!

Girls getaway ... excellent location! We walked to the golf course for lunch and then visited the shops up and down Queen Street. The property was spotless. While I would describe it as "quaint", it had every ammenity you could want ... microwave, dishwasher, hair dryer, etc. Enjoyed our morning tea on the front porch with delicious scones and pastries purchased in town. There was plenty of hot water for four showers in the morning! Niagara Falls was a short drive away (25 minutes). Spent the afternoon there and enjoyed going through "The Tunnel" (a newer attraction at the Falls). Stopped at Two Sisters Winery (idyllic spot) on the way back to NOTL. We all had a truly wonderful time and can't wait to go back! ❤️

Adorable and very well-maintained house close to everything

A lovely and charming house for a beautiful neighborhood. It's a three minute walk from Queen Street and a short bike ride from Lake Ontario, the Niagara Parkway, and wineries. It was perfectly clean and well-equipped and full of great period details. The backyard is so pretty. The only room not clearly shown in the pictures is the bathroom, which made me think it was tiny, but it is a good size and very functional. Our hostess provided great recommendations. We will definitely stay here again. A very special place.

We so enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, historic home. Everything you need for an easy stay is provided. We enjoyed relaxing on the peaceful porch. We loved walking down to the beach park. We walked to wonderful dinners in town each night and enjoyed the shops as well. The flowers all over town are gorgeous! We did take a trip over to the Botanical Gardens which was fabulous!

Historic Charm

The Alexander Mckee House is in perfect condition and location. Hardwood plank floors, candle sconces, farm style wood furniture, a walk back in time. The entire neighborhood and town takes pride in their history and it shows. The house is located two blocks from everything you must see, from the Lake, to mainstreet clocktower, boutique shops, and pubs. You can take a horse drawn carriage ride around town. Town looks magical at night, candle lite still like centuries ago. Its peaceful, not hurried, serene and beautiful. The location was a quick drive to Niagra Falls. Im so glad we didn't stay near the falls that area was full of skyscrappers and carnival looking buisnesses, all too touristy, right next to a majestic beautiful water fall it doesn't fit.

Had a great stay at the house.

We really enjoyed our stay in this gem of a Georgian small home. The neighborhood was quiet, the host accommodating, and the house was incredibly well equipped. The only downside was on VRBO, when they blanked out the host's phone number in her email to us, which meant we couldn't text her. That made coordinating when to meet her after going through the border difficult. I would highly recommend this house as a great place to stay in Niagara on the Lake!
