Attractive, clean, convenient place to stay
We liked the location as it was convenient to friends, Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, and the Welland Canal Museum. Unfortunately we found the living room furniture uncomfortable and the walk-in shower was small and the door unsafe. The pool table was a nice feature and the interior renovations were attractive. Our Canadian friends
were impressed.

Lovely home
We enjoyed our stay and the home was lovely. A little disappointed in the location. We couldn’t actually see the river, too much foliage and it sat on a busy street. It was close and convenient to everything but it wasn’t the tranquil setting I envisioned. Well equipped kitchen except for it needed a can opener.

A Perfect Getaway
Place was very clean, great neighborhood, great host interaction! Place had plenty of amenities supplied by host! Highly recommend!!!
We had a very relaxing trip and the house is beautiful. The pool table was lots of fun, too! The only downside for us was that it was on a busy road, which we aren’t used to. The backyard is too steep to really play on, but the views are beautiful. There are lots of grocery stores and restaurants just a couple of minutes away (by car). There is also a wonderful bakery called Con Gusto just down the road with fresh breads and pastries that is only a two minute walk away! Our kids also enjoyed the trampoline park that was just a short drive away. We had a great time!

a wonderful hub close to everything Niagra
This awesome 3 storey, 3 bedroom (with 3 king sized beds) and 3 washrooms, a BBQ, professional billiards table, ample parking and huge main floor (kitchen w island and big kitchenette table, large living room), was--a 10 min drive to Port Dalhousie--excellent Italian dining and waterfront, a 12 min drive to Niagara Falls which ROCKED!, and 30 min to N.O.T.L.. This is an absolutely wonderful hub for a winter holiday that is only 1 1/2 h from T.O.!!! The owner is helpful and very generous, and every imaginable item for a normal home, especially in the kitchen, is available. Go for it!

WINTER GETAWAY
The Riverview cottage was the perfect spot for visiting Niagara Falls and Toronto. The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. Checkin and checkout was easy. Since it was winter we were able to see the river. Having breakfast as we watched the squirrels and birds playing outside the dining rooms was such fun. The Riverview cottage was an ideal location for our visit to Niagara Falls and Toronto. The cottage was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. Checking in and out was hassle-free. Despite the winter season, we were able to catch a glimpse of the river. The highlight of our stay was having breakfast while watching the squirrels and birds playing outside the dining room. It was such a delightful experience.

Nice large house
Conveniently located near shopping places. The house is large and opened, very nice view as well. The bedrooms are spacious and the bed is comfortable. The road is a bit busy as it is one of the main road, but inside it is not too noisy.

Niagara Getaway
Spacious, clean - mostly well stocked. Needed more towels, especially hand towels and facecloths. Riverview is an exaggeration - you get small glimpses of the river through the trees from the second floor. Needs a mirror in the back second floor bedroom. Needs more decor.

Nice house, good location
This house provided a great place for us to spend the week while in town to watch the Canadian Henley Regatta. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The backyard was a highlight-- a deck overlooking a wooded slope down to the river. Great for birdwatching! There were also walking trails nearby. Location was convenient to Port Dalahousie, downtown St. Catherine's and Niagra region wineries. Great communication with the host prior to arriving and during our stay. Would stay here again if we come back to the area.

Pictures did not lie
This house is beautiful inside and out, open floor plan to see everyone and enjoy there company. The entertainment room with deck was a bonus. The rooms were spacious and well lit. Less than 2 miles away were you shopping centers, easy in, easy out. 20 minute ride to the falls, local wineries and breweries within 10 minutes of the house. Christian was quick with his responses with the questions we had. The house rules were on the kitchen island, the bbq rules easy to find in the entertainment room. A must stay if your considering this property.
