Beautifully landscaped out in the country yet only 15 minutes from the brink of the falls with emphasis on nature and good energy. On site and for your viewing is our equine rescue, home to 7 donkeys, 1 mule, 2 pot belly piggies, and 2 wonderful, friendly little goats, (2 dogs). Your rental is completely private from the main house, has its own driveway with a delightful walk through the trees and past the 'circle of elements', a great fire pit with boulders encompassing that space.

About The Owner

I have over 8 years experience as a professional tour guide in Niagara Falls. And a proud recipient of the Ambassador of Tourism Award from the Canadian government. We share our 'space' with 2 dogs, and 7 equines, 2 pot belly pigs named Sheldon and Shpeck, and 2 little, sweet goats; Monty and George. We are passionate about animal welfare, and preserving nature. I speak conversational Spanish and German. Having lived and worked in seven countries, and having travelled extensively I believe my husband and I have come to understand what our national and international guest would appreciate and expect in their travels. We look forwarding to helping you see all the Niagara Peninsula has to offer, there is so much more than just the falls. (Plus our tricks of the trade can help you save money, time and aggravation).

What makes this cabin unique

For more photos, and a 'feel' for what we have created please ask about our website - truly a retreat, yet all the modern comforts and facilities, and so much more! Even the locals come for a visit.

As we resque donkeys (and 'anyone' else in need, our latest arrival is Sheldon the pot belly pig) we find our guests enjoy the spirit of the animals. Included in a 2 (or more) night stay is a 'meet & greet' with the animals. One on one time and supervised by ourselves to introduce you to the animals that have found a home here. Groom them, hear their stories,and learn what is involved in taking in an animal. Many of our guests have commented on learning information about certain animals that has effected their decision on which animal would fit in their situation and which would not. Great photo time as well. This feature is totally optional. Some our guests barely have time to see all the sights in the area. When you check it just let us know if you would like to schedule a 'meet & greet'..

Also your hostess, Petra, is a certified hatha yoga instructor, if you wish to do a private class while here call for details, a 90 minute private one on one class for your party is $30.00 (Cad)

Wonderful, charming and cozy place to stay. The Hoblet is clean and well kept. Being un-plugged for days was the best. Petra is wonderful and attentive, but not at all intrusive. Our children, 12, 14 and 17 loved the animals. Each morning they'd be outside in their pj's tending to Cuddles, George and the rest. Definitely have a 'Meet and Greet' with all the four legged residents. Be warned the weather in April can be crazy. It was 81 on Thursday, wild storm on Friday and woke to a dusting of snow on Saturday. The falls are about fifteen minutes away and I would also recommend a drive up along the river to Niagara-on-the-Lake. So much history I was not aware of before. I would highly recommend this unique, peaceful place. It was a bit tight for our family of five, but so wonderful we would do it again. Well worth the drive from Boston.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for posting a review - appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed Niagara on the Lake ...it' such a nice contrast between the tourist hustle and bustle of the falls area, great to take them both in. We've enjoyed hosting some great folks from Boston! Thanks again for choosing the hoblet and the Niagara area.

We so enjoyed our stay at the Hoblet. Petra is an amazing host and gave us such good advice regarding sightseeing. We loved the animals, especially Cuddles. If we are in Niagara again, we will definitely choose the Hoblet.

A Home a Family and an experience that I will never forget

5 of 5
Submitted: April 14, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
I needed to be in Canada for a good portion of two months. My company gave me a budget and I began to search. I stumbled upon the Hoblet by chance. Sitting in my Florida home I stared at the pictures in wonder. My first time going to Canada and I was looking at a Cabin in the woods away from anything that I know. Why not just stay in a hotel? Be normal? Be safe?

Normal is what makes the day go by, normal is what blends your mondays, normal is what makes you wake up and say where did the past 5 years go. The Hoblet is one of the most distant places from normal that I have had the privilege of visiting.

Unique -The Cabin itself is stunning. Pulling up for the first time well after the sun was set I was greeted by an array of lights floating throughout the landscape. The bridge to the cabin is your bridge, your entry to your home. The balance of scenery is no accident. Petra and Mush take care in everything that they do. The atmosphere is welcoming and peaceful. Crafted to give you the degree of privacy that you wish, while having the ability to lessen or strengthen that degree based on your choice.

I will never forget having Cuddles greet me. The way all of the animals began to recognize my car, how they were excited to see me when I pulled in. Feeding them little bits of hay every time I came home and every time that I left. Even if I had my hands filled with bags.I had to stop and spend some time with them.

The Cabin itself is one of the most unique places that I have ever stayed. The exterior gives the feel that it was hand crafted. The Porch is beautiful and even though it steadily was below freezing I found myself out there often. The interior is stunning. Clean, modern and open. Skylights flood the living space with light while the endless glass doors create a feeling of serenity with the outside world. The kitchen was fully functional with all that you would need.

At first (being a native NYC'er) I was nervous. I shut the blinds and listened intently for the hundreds of made up things us city folk imagine about rural areas. It didn't take long for me to keep them open and take in nature.

I could tell you 100 stories and would be more than happy to do so, but this site limits my ability. To sum it all up, I entered a new country alone without my friends and family and ended up leaving with a new family and a sanctuary filled with friends. Break away from traditional vacation spots and treat yourself to this one of a kind experience

I spent 3 night at the Hoblet with my wife and two kids. My daughters gave carrots for the donkey and goats. I invited my friend's family for the last night and we had bbq party with a campfire. We enjoyed the Hoblet more than Niagara Falls. I'd like to say thank you again to Petra for your hospitality. Young Chool Park from South Korea.
