This home is beautiful and very comfortable. We had a small glitch with the TV and Ken was super responsive and had the issue resolved immediately! The pool was gorgeous and we enjoyed it very much! The area is so serene and relaxing. Our family had a wonderful time here and should we ever come back to the area we will be returning to this home!

We had an amazing time staying here! The house is huge and had everything we needed. Ken was the perfect host; very friendly and he responded quickly to our questions. We asked for a shade umbrella for the pool and one was delivered within minutes! The property is peaceful and private with a variety of birds visiting every day. The pool is pristine and great for cooling off on hot afternoons. Thanks to the Kelly family for maintaining a wonderful piece of history.

Idealic!

Just a relaxing, overall pleasant and serene property - sits on an acre with 3 weeping willow trees, wrap a round veranda and a private pool! Spacious for all and an amazing location! Ken was responsive and the perfect host - the historic vibe was true to the pics and we'd recommend this property by Lake Erie and proximity to Niagara Falls, river and local flavors in a heart beat!

Wonderful place to spend family time

This house and property was large enough to accommodate our family of 8 adults, two infants and dogs. The wrap around porches were lovely to spend time on in the early morning and after dinner. The pool was an amazing bonus. Everything needed was supplied and Karen was readily available to answer any of our questions or supply anything we needed.

Fabulous hoilday

This house is unique. We had a great time. the beds were comfortable, and the porches and living spaces were generous. Someone looked after the pool daily, and help with anything was easily and readily available. The only dissapointment was there was no hot tub which had been advertized on the listing.

Beautiful week at Fort Erie

Our family and extended family loved this home. There’s so much room to accommodate everyone. The porch, the pool and the fire pit made this the perfect location for a family reunion. There are lovely beaches nearby and we were able to visit the Falls and Niagara on the Lake easily. From the first day everyone kept saying we should rent this home again. It has wonderful energy and the owners couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating.

Beautiful character home

Needs some updating and some screen repairs. Beautiful grounds. Hosekeeper is a lovely woman. Homeowner is very kind. Porches were fabulous. Fire pit great. Pool was fun. Very close to lake Erie. Decor in home was all a cottage should be. Was furnished with every need you could think of. Just had to bring food and clothes. Everything else was provided. Some great restaurants in very close proximity to home. The little flea market on Saturday and Sunday was great.

This cottage is on the rustic end if you don’t mind that, but was not clean and in poor condition due to a half-finished renovation when we rented it. We weren’t informed until three days before our check-in date that the porch was under renovation and behind schedule. Upon arrival the key was not where it was supposed to be and we did not get a response for two hours. (It was dark and I was traveling with a young child.) There was construction dust and debris inside and outside and it seemed clear the house had not been cleaned in some time. We found several health and safety hazards including pests, peeling paint (not safe for my 2-year-old), exposed wires, nails and glass. I communicated the hazards and gave the owner several opportunities to respond and was ghosted once I brought the issues to his attention. Given the extensive issues, I feel the need to share this info for other renters. It is especially not suitable for children, elderly or anyone with allergies or mobility issues. The grounds are lovely with the fire pit and pool and the owner was polite while we were in contact, but the property should not be rented until a renovation and thorough cleaning are completed.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 August 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We have a long history of providing excellent stays, and we take all guest comments seriously. For over 13 years, our home has maintained a 9.8-star rating, and this is our first negative review. Our goal is always to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests while adhering to local regulations and our house policies, which are communicated clearly before booking. Guest Count: Our house has an occupancy limit of eight people, which is set by local ordinances to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. This limit was communicated prior to your stay. We understand that accommodating a large group can be challenging, but exceeding this limit is a violation of both local law and our rental agreement. Checkout Time: We explicitly state that checkout is at 10:00 AM to allow our professional housekeeping team sufficient time to prepare the home for our next guests. Unfortunately, your group was still on the property past the designated checkout time, which significantly delayed our staff. House Condition: The condition in which the house was left required an additional two hours of cleaning from our four-person housekeeping team. Communication: We were not made aware of any issues until three days after your departure, which made it impossible for us to address them promptly during your stay. We have hosted many wonderful families over the years and will continue to do so. We wish you the best in your future travels.

Great week!

Wonderful property for family and friends. We were two families with young children, 4 to 7 yrs old and property was perfect. Location is great. Pool was great with the kids. Property manager was very nice and responsive. Property owner was very easy to reach and speak to. Definitely will consider renting again in the future.

Lovely cottage with plenty of space for large family (3 kids and 2 adults). Gorgeous property that is beautifully maintained, including a plunge pool with plenty of loungeside seating. Owner communication was A+++ including prompt resolution by housekeeper when I couldn’t figure out how to start the tv system. I wouldn’t hesitate to return with my family.

Charming home and property

Charming home set on a beautiful piece of property. Home was spacious and clean. The property, including the swimming pool and porch, were very private. Stonemill beach is a 2 min walk, although there are plenty of nicer beaches via short drive. Ridgeway is a lovely town and people are very friendly. Excellent communication and support from host and property caretakers.

A great week away!

Ken was wonderful to deal with - always very quick to respond to any questions we had! The property was spacious and perfect for our family and young grandchildren (between the ages of 1 and 7 years old). The wide wrap-around porch was perfect even on the one rainy day we had. Otherwise the kids played in the big yard & enjoyed the pool all day long! The near by biking trail was also a hit with our family. Lots of special memories!

Beautiful Family Vacation

Our family enjoyed our week at this beautiful home. Very spacious with all the amenities you need for the family (towels, soap, fully stocked kitchen cupboards, laundry, dishwater, wifi, etc). We enjoyed our daily bike rides on the Friendship Trail, playing games on the field, swimming and relaxing by the pool and campfires at night. There is a beautiful beach called Crescent Beach a short distance away (15min by bike directly on the trail and only a 5 min drive) with soft sand and warm water. The owners and maintenance staff are attentive and helpful and ensured we had a wonderful stay. My kids were sad to leave and want to go back again! Thank you for a great week!
