The cottage was so charming and the views spectacular! Everything we needed was readily available. Very accomodating. We have 2 small fur babies and were able to walk them around the property as well as along the neighborhood. Neighbors were friendly and welcoming. It was quiet and peaceful and a woderful place to unwind. Good food within walking distance. Close to wonderful sites to see. The local produce was impressive and reasonable..highly recommend!!
Lake Onterio Cottage reviewWe arrived at this idyllic cottage which is literly as close to the water of Lake Ontario as it could be and found a home which excludes warmth & welcome in abundance.I laid in the bed early the next morning looking out over the lake as a misty sunrise was dawning and early autumn breezes came through the open window, I heard the haunting cry of a loon calling out to itâs mate. The message reverberated through me acoustically like it was saying, âitâs morningsâ songâŠ. It is your song tooâŠ. You have just forgotten it.âOur entire expiernce was like this in unexpected ways. The cottage is equipped with everything you could ever need. It is clean, full of charm & memontos of lives well lived.Our host Dan is fantastic as is the helpful neighbor Joe. Joe has little stray cats that play between the proprties. They are so fun to watch⊠you can bet there are no mice or rats around their homes. As I said joy comes to this place in unexpected ways.Iâm not sure why Niagara Falls was never on our bucket list⊠perhaps narrowness of mind on our partâŠI donât know, but it should have beenâŠitâs only a 45 minute driveâŠand a somewhat an emotional experience in person. Certainly one not to be missed.If you are looking for a soul renewal or r the kind of place where you can actually exhale⊠this is it, complete with sweeping sunrises, sunsets, moonrises and starry skies⊠you will not be disappointed with this Lake Onterio cottage.
Just perfect. Dan could not have been more accommodating, the cottage is the most charming in which we have stayed, and the view is gorgeous. You truly cannot get any closer to the water. We hope to return next May!
The cabin is so charming and comfy cozy, the sun helped so we could enjoy the beautiful Lake Ontario literally out your back door We went down the river in the kayaks-Also provided. and just enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend, ate at the local restaurants we could walk to and felt very refreshed and relaxed
My daughter and her cousin, our doggie and I, also a friend came for visit for a night! Girls weekend! We had a lovely time with zero plans. Cooking and eating. Rock painting, walks, and enjoying the porches. The house was adorable with everything we needed. Even extra details like games and kayaks. But the view alone was enough! Was a perfect stay for a break from day to day to kick off the nice weather. Ps. It rained one day which made the lake exciting while we still had respite under the porches and views from all the sliding doors! Thanks so much!
Great place to unwind out of the way.
This place is right on the lake. As noted in the listing, you will not have access to the water directly from the property. But a boat launch is within walking distance.
Easy to lose track of time relaxing to the sound of the water and enjoying the lake breeze.
This place is exceptionally clean. Kudos to the house cleaner.
The views from the property were fantastic. Itâs hard to find a place when you walk in, you feel like you are at home. We did at this cottage! I hope to rent again.
Great spot so close to the water you feel like youre on a boat! Listening to the waves and water all night long is a treat!
A few watering holes along with farm/fruit stands nearby are a plus.
Highly recommend!

This cottage sits right on the shore of Lake Ontario one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. We have completely remodeled and upgraded this gem without destroying its charm. The sounds and sites of "The Lake" are ever present.
