We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It offered everything we needed plus the location was great. The suggestions Linda offered were appreciated, as she was always quick to respond our inquires.
Thanks đ
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!
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!
Pictures of the outdoor are misleading. The garden showed in the pictures is just weeds now. There isn't an umbrella. There's no comfy furniture. There were some kind of detonations around; we have no idea what was that.
Indoor pictures correspond to the truth. Linda gave us good information about places to go.
We chose to stay at Oak Lane Cottage due to its location; to attend an event at Brock Univ and also to visit wineries in the area. Both worked out great. The property was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed having our meals out on the patio, and used the fire pit one evening. Linda brought a new table top grill, which was also handy. Our only issue was that the air conditioner was very loud - but that was being replaced the day we were leaving. For wineries, we highly recommend 13th Street (very close), Westcott and Domaine Queylus. p.s. Since this is "wine country", a new set of wine glasses would be a nice addition.
This was our second stay at Oak Lane Cottage and definitely not our last! We love the cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the perfect location, just minutes away from all the best that Niagara has to offer. Linda is an exceptional host... warm, accommodating, and always quick to respond. We highly recommend this cottage to couples or friends looking for a peaceful and relaxing weekend getaway.
The cottage was exactly as advertised in a really nice, private neighborhood with nice back yard, BBQ grill, fire pit, and patio furniture. The cottage itself was very comfortable and Linda was an excellent hostess.
Very helpful, friendly, accommodating, and flexible. Could not have asked for better. The cottage is very close to stores and restaurants. Our hostess was quick with suggestions, responsive to needs, and made us feel right at home.
The cottage is the perfect size for two people, and very well appointed; it felt like home. Comfy bed, fully outfitted kitchen, tasteful furnishings, cool fireplace that came on automatically. Linda was extremely kind and communicative. We were in the area for a sad reason, rather than vacation, but should we be back in the region in better circumstances, we would definitely choose the cottage again, no question.
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.
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.
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 âwornâ I would recommend it.
Everything you need to feel at home whether you are watching a regatta or touring wine country. Roll right up to the front door. Life in the country yet 5 mins from amenities.
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 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.
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
