Great location and property
We enjoyed our stay, however, there were barely enough towels for the four of us and no extras. It would have been helpful to know that we would need to purchase food storage bags, baking sheets, tin foil and other needs for our stay. We would have been happy to purchase them but not until we needed them did we find there were none.
We would still rent the property but would be more prepared the next time. Thank you.

Delightful house
We were not given the code to check into the house for nearly one hour past the published check in time! After several messages to the property manager the code was sent. Not all lights in the kitchen worked. The repair person never fixed it during our time there in spite of the property mgr’s promise. Directions for the tv were poor. Otherwise the house fit our needs and was delightful. It was in a great location.

The host provided instructions for check-in very last minute. We could have made other driving arrangements if we would have heard back from the host at least a day prior to our stay. We have phoned in 3 days prior to ask about parking arrangements etc. We only heard back from the host two hours before check-in. Further, we inquired about garbage before our check-out as well but the host did not get back to us until a few hours after we have already left the premise. While we can understand the host may be in traffic or unavailable, we would still appreciate more prompt responses from management. We would also recommend providing Kleenex in the house, a non slip mat for the bathtub, and the welcome note/instruction may need some updates since lockbox info seems obsolete and typo regarding placing towels. There was also a funk around the front porch. It smelled like doggie waste was left in bushes. Thank you.

Niagara on the Lake with girlfriends
Check in was easy and the location was perfect.Sadly our high Tea reservation was cancelled because of a power outage but we were able to get into the Irish Pub across the street for food and music trivia.
The beds were comfy and we slept well. We loved the rain shower head and the soap and shampoo from One Earth.
We weren’t able to get the TV to work . Maybe the instructions need to be clarified but no matter, we were too busy walking around town, checking out the shops and restaurants.
We had a great time and will certainly consider staying here again! Thank you!
We had a little trouble reaching our host, but in the end he got us the check in info 1 hour before we were to get in. So it all worked out. The property is teriffic. Beds were comfy, showers were good even with using two at the same time. Decorated nicely. I would stay again.

Our family had a wonderful experience, delightful location, lovely home w cozy beds. thank you to Rigo! He is accommodating and a wonderful host. If you’re needing a mid-way stop, this is a great spot. A little note, the town shops close early (4 - 4:30pm) but restaurants open until 10pm, overall we enjoyed our stay and love the neighborhood. 🌸 -Dawn & Family 🌸

Eclipse trip
Loved this house and stay! Gorgeous home, with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, plenty of pillows and good water pressure in the showers. Didn’t spend a lot of time in the house, because we explored the adorable town and downtown Niagara Falls. The town is so cute! If you’re early risers like us, bring your own coffee-the town is slow to start in the morning (cute coffee shop across the street opens at 8). Walkable to dinner, ice cream, shops and Lake Ontario. Would definitely recommend!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. Everything was even better than expected. All of your attention to detail amazed us, extremely clean. You are literally steps from shopping and all of the amazing restaurants. We will definitely return.
We loved everything about our stay at the Meritage house. The property is lovely and has so much character. You will have everything you need to make your stay comfortable. From a cozy but spacious main area to comfortable bedrooms, laundry facilities, a fully equipped kitchen and an ironing board. We will definitely be back!
