The Homestead house was delightful and spotless, very cozy. Suiting in the armchairs watching the lake and sky was extremely relaxing. The vines are king of magical and Wendy responded promptly. Looking forward to staying again!

Gorgeous View

The property was private and quiet. Everything we needed was available to us. The view was one of a kind. Lake Erie is way off in the distance where you cannot see waves but the view was out of this world. The brilliant blue of the distant water blended beautifully with the vineyards all around the area where the house is located.

Scenic and cozy

This house had everything we needed and more. There was ample space and comfortable seating and beds. I appreciated the supplies in the kitchen like measuring cups, whisk, baking pans etc… and the toys for the kids. The house is nestled within miles and miles of vineyards and there’s a lovely view of Lake Erie (10 mins away) which is enormous! We enjoyed the fire pit too. It was a very nice stay. Thank you!

Girl's trip

This place was a quaint farm house with everything we needed. Large bed rooms, very comfortable. Cute claw foot tub. Loved the fire pit! Awesome view of the sun setting on Lake Erie. We took little excursions to the peninsula, did some wine tasting, awesome pie at Meeder's, an interesting trip to Lily Dale, and a great day trip to Niagara Falls. We found this house great in meeting our needs, and really is in a quiet, great location. We were welcomed by the owner, and made to feel very welcome. We will definitely be saving this location in our "favorites" folder!

Farmhouse retreat

Enjoyed the privacy. Property was nice and relaxing. Loved the porch. Take a bug zapper or spray. Many rules posted but nothing unreasonable. Bathtub while charming, is very high and difficult to get into and out of without falling. Not suggested if knee or back problems. It is not handicap friendly. Location worked well for our needs and easy access to 90. .

Wonderful, very clean, comfy home! Perfect for a girls' weekend! The bed was very comfortable, the house was lovely, and the views were amazing. We had nice fires every evening, and the owner provided ample firewood. Would love to go back for a meteorite shower! The only thing I disliked was the electric stove; it wasn't the owner's fault, just a personal preference of mine.

It was the perfect location for our Niagara Falls excursion. We wanted to be close but not in the city. It was a little more than an hour drive, and the views and the drive was beautiful!

Annual Visit

Always a pleasure. Was surprised to see the new residence on the hill. We stayed at your other rental last year. Seemed a little close...we are used to "no neighbors" that we can see...lol. It did feel a little awkward. Everthing else was as usual. Thanks!

Had a wonderful stay at The Home Stead House with friends. The weekend went by so quickly I feel that we barely had enough time to take in the property’s beautiful surroundings and view from the orchards. We will definitely will staying here anytime that we are in the area.

Relaxing and fishing

Once again we enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Homestead House. The location of the house is quiet and relaxing the house itself is very roomy and was very clean and welcoming We will definitely be booking another trip. If fishing is what your there for there are 2 main launches ( Barcelona and North West ) less than 15 min away.

Amazing weekend stay

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and property set the mood for a girls wine weekend. The charm of the 1800s house with vineyards, an old barn and tree swing. It's proximity to the wineries, distilleries and lake Erie was amazing. Everything was only minutes away. We can't wait to come back and just escape for another long weekend
