Very nice place to stay. Loved the back yard, close to all attractions that niagara has to offer.Only flaw we had was the shower pressure which was really low but manageable. We would stay here again.
This was the most relaxing cozy home I have stayed in. They were such great hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The house was so clean and had everything stocked that you would ever need. Great location only minutes from all the attractions. Would love to stay again. Don't hesitate just book it and you won't regret it. Wish we didn't have to leave.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although a mini staycation from home before the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we truly felt like we were on a Christmas vacation you only see in the movies. The space was open and inviting, decorated in a pleasant, welcoming way. We would love to book again, maybe in the summer to be able to enjoy the entire property!
The house was very clean cozy and nice, the host communicated very well with me how everything worked out and when i had a question, would stay here again . Loved it . So cozy and had everything we needed the pictures do some pretty good justice the house is great. Book it you will love it
Our stay was wonderful! We tried all of the food recommendations by the host and they were all great! Communication was quick and helpful when we had questions. The property is exactly as described in the review. Wish we could have used the back yard to hang out in but we were so busy on our long weekend in Niagara that we didnât have time. The property was very close to all the things we wanted to do. We even were close enough to come and let the dog out from time to time and take her on walks. We would highly recommend. We had a great first trip to Canada!
Our family was very pleased with our stay at the Halfway Carriage House last month. The cottage is convienently located about 7 mins away from the tourist district along the Niagara River Parkway. This is just far enough away to afford a respite from the crowds and traffic. The cottage is tastefully decorated and includes a thoughtful assortment of home goods, furnishings, and kitchen tools. Speaking of the kitchen, it is well designed and offers plenty of counter space for meal prep along with a large farmer's table. The entire property is impeccably clean and well maintained, including the terraced back yard. If you're looking for a practical and stylish retreat in Niagara away from the crowds, then the Halfway Carriage House is for you!
Our stay was amazing. First, the pics of the cottage do not do it justice. The cottage was amazing, clean, charming and so comfy. It is very close to all the attractions. Just a few minute drive to the falls and Skylon Tower. We also drove to the Inniskillin Winery at Niagara On The Lake which was only about 20 minute drive. We had the most amazing holiday and would definitely recommend everyone to stay at this wonderful cottage.
The house was well equipped and nicely renovated. The proximity to a variety of parks and trails was convenient. The only down side was that street was busy and the traffic was noisy.
This property was the perfect size, space, and location to enjoy the area! The aesthetic is adorable, too. The hosts were so clear, helpful, and attentive-great communication. Highly recommend!
Lori and Darren were super accommodating and the property itself was beautiful. Itâs very close to a lot of the Niagara tourist places, having anywhere be a short drive to get to. We went for a girls trip and the area felt really safe and the cottage was so cute that we took so many pictures. Will definitely book again!
This property is beautiful and we loved learning the history from Darren when we first arrived. We had everything that we needed and even a bit extra with the Keurig and supplies. The location was perfect for us and it was easy to get everywhere we needed to go.
Darren and Lori were marvelous hosts. They answered all of our questions promptly and Darren greeted us upon arrival! The space was beautiful and had everything that we needed. The house was very near all that we wanted to see and do. It was located on a heavily traveled road and there was quite a bit of noise. The backyard space is a work in progress and will no doubt be super upon completion. We had a great time!
Great property with all the amenities needed. Quiet neighborhood with the exception of the big trucks during the day and a few evening noisy racing kids
The Carriage House was a dream come true. Beautifully appointed, extremely clean, well stocked with everything we needed and perfectly located for day trips around Ontario and into NY. The outside property is beautifully landscaped as well. Our hosts were awesome and provided recommendations for everything from places to eat to pet sitting services. A definite WIN!
Carriage house is charming & VERY clean. Darren (Owner) met us when we arrived. He showed us around the property, told us of nice restaurants around. It is on a busy street but it quietens down at night. We were allowed to sit by the fireplace of the (his) house next door because no one was there. We would go back there again. Thanks Darren & Margaret - wonderful lady who takes care of the property.
The Carriage House is everything it appears to be online, if not better. The hosts, Darren and Lori, were most welcoming, and met us upon arrival with a great introduction to the house and the area. The extremely well-provisioned and beautifully designed home met all of our needs as a couple (plus our dog) throughout our three-night stay. Though near the road, noise was not an issue during our November stay. It provides an ideal base for exploring the region, close to many activities and attractions, including the Falls, numerous vineyards and restaurants, and various Lake Erie and Lake Ontario historical sites and towns. We would highly recommend it.
The cottage was great, and was very close to the activities we wanted to do.
The hosts were always quick to respond to our messages in advance of our trip.
They were extremely friendly while checking us in and answered all our questions.
We'll stay again!
Hosts were super friendly and responsive. Appreciated the early check in since no one had been there the previous night. The rental itself was sweet and well stocked. Everything worked well. We enjoyed two nights with our parents and were quite happy to arrive to the very comfy beds after busy days exploring the Niagara area. Thank you again! Highly recommend.
Lori is an artist, Darren is a landscape designer and instructor. This property is a creative outlet that showcases their talents for guests to enjoy while visiting the worlds greatest natural wonder!
This adorable building was derelict in 2017 when purchased. It was a diamond in the rough and has been painstakingly restored and modernized creating a high level of charm and comfort. We have since restored the original Farmhouse next door which we also offer as a vacation rental property (see listing VRBO 1381167).
The Carriage House has exposed cathedral ceilings and beams. The living space has a central gas fireplace and massive stone hearth. It has a primary bedroom on the main floor with an attached powder room and a wonderful loft bedroom above. The main bathroom has cozy heated floors and a safe step free shower. The Cottage style perennial garden out front is spectacular and undergoes dynamic changes with the seasons.
