Modern Farmhouse in Niagara’s Wine Country

Historic and completely renovated two story farmhouse on a large lot. Beautifully appointed with custom wood features including a farmhouse table, island, reclaimed wood walls and shelving. Distinct modern and eclectic decor. Centrally located near the Falls, Niagara Parkway, Niagara on the Lake, casinos, wineries, and the largest outdoor outlet mall in Canada. A great gathering spot in any season with a full kitchen and outdoor space ready to entertain family and friends.

This property was originally known as the “Halfway House”, a tavern built in 1839. It was the only stop of the Erie and Ontario Railway, the first in Upper Canada. It was a horse drawn railroad that carried people and goods from Queenston (below the Falls) to Chippawa (above the Falls), an 11 mile journey. Halfway House was built as a tavern for travelers along the Portage Road. In 1895 the house was rebuilt, either on or using the stone foundation of the original tavern. A lovely stone barn from the original railway still exists on the property.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: this property being located on an historic crossroads has become a major entry point into Niagara. As a result, street traffic can often be very busy during the day but quiets down significantly at night.

Great historical place!
This old house has a lot of history, very nice backyard too. It’s well situated between the falls and the vineyards. As mentioned by other people, it is situated on a busy road. We live in the country and are used to sleeping in a quiet environment so we brought some earplugs and we slept fine. My kids and my parents slept without earplugs without problem. Comfortable mattresses. Brand new or well cleaned BBQ. And we had a bottle of wine waiting for us on the dining table. Very good experience.

Lovely Historic Home
The house and back yard were enjoyable. The traffic noise due to rerouted construction was a little loud during the day. This would be a temporary issue. The location was perfect for visiting the Niagara area. Also, the owner had an excellent NY bottle of wine for us at arrival. Everything you would need for a long stay was supplied.

awesome property
We had a long weekend hanging out with friends at this property. It was great to have a full kitchen and large table to have breakfast and dinner at. We also used the large outdoors table and gas grill, followed by sitting around a fire. The grounds are park like. The location was perfect for us, about 15 minutes from Niagara On the Lake and from the falls. Many wineries nearby also. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Pet peve.
For some reason our small dog, (Bichonpoo) would not walk on the wooden floors of the house, she would only stand on the rugs, and would not move off of them, if you tried to entice her to come on her leish she just froze on the spot. to the point where she would pull back from you with all her might. Unfortunately this was upsetting to us and cast a shadow on our overall experience.

This property is very "central" to many different activities. The home is very comfortable to stay in. We had 5 ladies spend 2 nights and everyone was pleased with their stay. I saw a few reviews complain about traffic, personally i didnt think it was that worrisome. Neighbourhood is very quiet. Would definetly stay here again, especially during nicer weather to take advantage of the back yard! A suggestion/comment - dont shut the "master bedroom" door all tbe way, as we did get locked in the room at 3am, thankfully i was able to think on my feet and used a credit card to open. The rest of the time we just shut the door lightly and put something to keep it from opening.

Just a quick trip to the Niagara falls region with our adult kids. Beautiful and thoughtful renovation - both inside and out. Numerous areas to enjoy. Tastefully decorated and a great location for easy access to the falls or Niagara on the Lake. The hosts provided nice recommendations as well.

We loved every squeaky step on the gorgeous old hardwood floors! Loved the little touches (a curio cabinet filled with artifacts found onsite) and the thoughtful (and fun!) decor. Super close to Niagara on the Lake - a must visit for a casual stroll in a beautiful, quaint town.

Charming renovated farmhouse
This was hands down the best VRBO I have booked and I have booked several. Everything is exactly as described by the hosts. Plus they provided many extras that aren't often included - toilet paper, soap, shampoo/conditioner, etc. The home is beautifully renovated and my family of four found it very relaxing and comfortable. The rich history of the home and beautiful landscaping made our stay all the better. Thank you!

The charm of the old world with the convenience to attractions.
The house is located in relatively close distance to the sites and events of Niagara Falls without being in the busy and noisy downtown are. The nostalgia of of the century old (modernised) building and its history appealed to my family. We can recommend this property to anyone needing accommodations for 6 people at what I consider to be a reasonable cost.

The house is absolutely gorgeous. The backyard garden was a favorite for morning coffee and an afternoon rest. The upstairs did get a little warmer at night but they left fans in all the closets, and that helped. Thanks for the use of your beautiful rental.

Restorative Vacation
We absolutely enjoyed staying in this beautifully restored estate! The amount of love and care that went into restoring this place was evident the moment we pulled up. Darren gave us a tour and the backstory of the property when we arrived. With all the new development going up in the area this place could have easily been lost to history if it was not for them. The location was perfect! Quick trips to area restaurants and easy access to Niagara Falls Park attractions. The only downside was the length of our stay. Wish we could have spent more time enjoying the curated garden!
