The cottage has ample parking, a wooded ravine backdrop, and has been completely renovated to have all of the expected amenities. Approximately 1100sqft of usable space. Enjoy the serene large deck and BBQ off the back, watch the cars from the front patio and listen to the birds and the creek out back. The space is within walking distance to some great food, a bakery, brewery, and more! *Please note in the summer the road can be quite busy for a small town! *Also please be sure to view the photos of the stairs going upstairs, they are short steps making them feel steep and require some maneuvering at the top level.

Guest access
Door keypad for entry. Your door code will be sent with your welcome message.

Other things to note
Please note, Fall season is prime time for fruit picking season in Niagara. as such the fruit flies tend to be common visitors at the sites when food is left out or sweet things poured down the sinks.

We have treated the drains in the sinks and showers as well as left out a few traps to be safe.

We ask that should you pour anything down the drains such as pop, wine, fruit juice to please boil the kettle and pour the hot water down the drain as well. This will help substantially in hopes to keep the fruit flies at bay
