This was our second stay at Oak Lane Cottage and definitely not our last! We love the cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the perfect location, just minutes away from all the best that Niagara has to offer. Linda is an exceptional host... warm, accommodating, and always quick to respond. We highly recommend this cottage to couples or friends looking for a peaceful and relaxing weekend getaway.

The cottage was exactly as advertised in a really nice, private neighborhood with nice back yard, BBQ grill, fire pit, and patio furniture. The cottage itself was very comfortable and Linda was an excellent hostess.

Exactly what we were looking for

The cottage is the perfect size for two people, and very well appointed; it felt like home. Comfy bed, fully outfitted kitchen, tasteful furnishings, cool fireplace that came on automatically. Linda was extremely kind and communicative. We were in the area for a sad reason, rather than vacation, but should we be back in the region in better circumstances, we would definitely choose the cottage again, no question.

We where hoping to find a place in St Catharines. This was the prefect location. The cottage was very spacious and comfortable. If we ever need a place in this same area in the future, we would definitely look to see if Oak Lane Cottage is available.

Second stay was a good as the first

We really enjoyed the property. It's adorable and has has everything you need. The bed is so comfortable, you don't want to get up in the morning! The only downside was there was alot of small spiders and spider webs inside of the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by The Bouw Family

Host profile image
The Bouw Family has lived in the Niagara area for over 55 years. Love to travel, enjoy meeting people from all over the world. Our kids are grown yet live close by. We wanted to share our country setting, which is so perfect to relax in yet close to everything is you wish to be active.

Why they chose this property

Why this gem people do ask......
We personally had a health situation where we had to fly to Red Deer to take care of a family member and were lucky enough to find a home to stay in while we took care of our loved one. We saw the opportunity for this building, now our newly renovated cottage, to enable us to do the same for people who happen to have sick ones in our local hospital which is close by. A place to stay, to cook, to relax, to re-coup and self energize.

What makes this property unique

A quiet patio to enjoy the birds, squirrels and occasional deer.
A treed lot to sit in the shade.
A little kitchen to relax, cook and enjoy.
A gas BBQ on the patio
A wood burning fire pit surrounded by 4 muskoka chairs
