Perfect Decision

It was, as recounted by so many other previous guests, exactly what was described online. The historic home was cozy, comfortable, beautifully lit, centrally located and impeccably clean. Communication with Sindy was cheerful and effortless and this ideal location provided a wonderfully enjoyable Niagara-on-the-Lake getaway!

Historic Charm

The Alexander Mckee House is in perfect condition and location. Hardwood plank floors, candle sconces, farm style wood furniture, a walk back in time. The entire neighborhood and town takes pride in their history and it shows. The house is located two blocks from everything you must see, from the Lake, to mainstreet clocktower, boutique shops, and pubs. You can take a horse drawn carriage ride around town. Town looks magical at night, candle lite still like centuries ago. Its peaceful, not hurried, serene and beautiful. The location was a quick drive to Niagra Falls. Im so glad we didn't stay near the falls that area was full of skyscrappers and carnival looking buisnesses, all too touristy, right next to a majestic beautiful water fall it doesn't fit.

Fantastic - Amazing

Location is outstanding, charming warm and welcoming. The bed was super comfortable. Characteristics of home from 1835 tasteful furnishings but updated without disturbing character. I really enjoyed the way the period lights were electrified! Well equipped! No better place to stay -- we left being relaxed and refreshed! We will be back!
