We really enjoyed our stay in this gem of a Georgian small home. The neighborhood was quiet, the host accommodating, and the house was incredibly well equipped.
The only downside was on VRBO, when they blanked out the host's phone number in her email to us, which meant we couldn't text her. That made coordinating when to meet her after going through the border difficult.
I would highly recommend this house as a great place to stay in Niagara on the Lake!

Our cottage was right around the corner from the historic downtown district. Bakeries too numerous to try! Grocery store for the essentials. And the walk down to the lake was perfect for a nice stroll. Thanks!

Wonderful location, extremely well appointed, spacious cottage. Responsive host. The only suggestion would be to make clear that the parking place is in front of the patio.

5.0
Over all stay was very good for 2 of us. Our host met us as we got there early & we had a chance to speak with her. We loved the history of the house as well as the big porch which we sat under while we had a good storm & rain & the cleanest of the Town itself. Short walk up to the town core & another short walk to the Lake area. Really can't say anything bad about our stay as we enjoyed ourselves & I would book this place again. Consider the age of the dwelling & enjoy.

This was an excellent location and the place was super clean. Sindy was friendly and responsive to all our inquiries. While we did not take advantage of it, there’s a lovely porch with rocking chairs and a shaded table and chairs out back. Please note that the bedrooms are up a steep set of stairs so one must be able-bodied and the bathroom is downstairs. Also note that tall guests need to duck when going from the laundry room entrance into the rest of the house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sindy’s house. The house is a warm, beautifully restored colonial. All of our needs were met—nicely appointed kitchen, nice appliances, very nice linens in the bath and bedrooms and a perfect location to walk a block to Queen Street. We enjoyed talking to Sindy about the history of the property. She is very warm and welcoming.

Great Location
The house has a wonderful location in Niagara on the Lake. You are walking distance to everything you need. The house has a lovely historic feel and quiet little outside area to enjoy for meals or just relaxing on the porch.

Absolutely perfect
Wonderful home, like stepping back through time. Everything was as shown, the bed was very comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better location, literally around the corner from the restaurants and shops.
Sindy was a pleasure to work with and to meet, with great recommendations.
Can't wait to come back!

This was my first time ever booking through Vrbo and it definitely will not be my last. From my first communication to the property manager to my last and everything in between - one word - perfection.
Sindy was very kind and responsive and I would HIGHLY recommend staying in her lovely little cottage. It was very clean and welcoming. Just steps away from the main strip yet quiet enough to enjoy a glass of wine on the porch in the evening.
We are looking forward to staying there again!

Beautiful historic home in ideal location
My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful visit to Niagara thanks to a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Sindy’s historic home. It was extremely well equipped for us to cook meals and also very convenient with only a block to walk to the Main Street to shop or pick up coffee. The home is very cozy and also loved the way it’s been authentically restored and preserved. We will certainly be back. Thank you Sindy!

We spent the weekend at this beautiful property and enjoyed the ambience of beautiful NOTL literally steps away. The property was so comfortable and we felt at home. Sindy was wonderful to deal with and was very accommodating when we had to alter our plans. Thank you so much for a wonderful getaway for our anniversary!
Thank you!

My friend and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful old home. Everything was spotless and there were many thoughtful touches, such as soap and pods for the dishwasher. It was a pleasure to deal with the property manager. I would like to return one day.

The Alexander McKee house was perfect for our weekend away. It is located around the corner from the park and the Main Street and offers a beautiful location to simply go for a walk to admire the other houses. The house itself was perfect. It was clean, full kitchen with everything we needed. A washer and dryer for the kids and the family room was cozy. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Great find
We had a great time here, and this cute little home was just perfect. It's walking distance to downtown with it's restaurants, pubs and shops, and an equally short distance to the lakefront park, as well as another mid-town park. We really enjoyed our mornings sitting on the porch drinking coffee. The building itself is early 19th century with all the quirky little characteristics which come with that, so taller people will need to learn to duck while going through some of the doorways, but it's been renovated throughout. The beds themselves were very comfortable. We'd definitely recommend this place to friends.
