It was the perfect location for our Niagara Falls excursion. We wanted to be close but not in the city. It was a little more than an hour drive, and the views and the drive was beautiful!

Annual Visit

Always a pleasure. Was surprised to see the new residence on the hill. We stayed at your other rental last year. Seemed a little close...we are used to "no neighbors" that we can see...lol. It did feel a little awkward. Everthing else was as usual. Thanks!

Relaxing and fishing

Once again we enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Homestead House. The location of the house is quiet and relaxing the house itself is very roomy and was very clean and welcoming We will definitely be booking another trip. If fishing is what your there for there are 2 main launches ( Barcelona and North West ) less than 15 min away.

Amazing weekend stay

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and property set the mood for a girls wine weekend. The charm of the 1800s house with vineyards, an old barn and tree swing. It's proximity to the wineries, distilleries and lake Erie was amazing. Everything was only minutes away. We can't wait to come back and just escape for another long weekend

Great stay!

Great communication! Promptly set up our toddler bed the morning of our arrival. The place is a great old house with plenty of personal touches and well thought out amenities. Right in the middle of a vineyard, it has a great farmhouse atmosphere. Exactly what we were looking for.
