NIAGARA ON THE GREEN - REDUCED RATES!!

My wife and I wanted to treat my parents to a Niagara Falls holiday without breaking the bank. This property was perfect. Three bedrooms upstairs and three basements in the basement provide separate living spaces for my parents and my wife and I. My mother especially enjoyed herself in the master bedroom suite and the living room with the large screen TV. Internet access helped me stay in touch with work and plan the next days activities.

The kitchen was well equiped, the patio, while small was lovely and the gas grill worked great. We were able to cook in when we wanted which helped with expenses. The neighborhood was great for after dinner and early morning walks. Not too busy with wide sidewalks.

The property is convinient to all Niagara area sites but far enough away to keep you out of the hustle and bustle that is the "strip". You must have a car to use this property effectively. One night we decided to pop down to the Skylon Tower. Trip time each direction was only 10 minutes. We toured the wine country one day and enjoyed the open countryside between the property and Niagara On The Lake. While in NOtL, be sure to visit the public park that abutts the confluence of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. Simply breathtaking to see the US side from Canada from the park.

St. Catherines is just down QEW with easy on and off access to grocery stores. If traveling from the US, just be prepared for a bit of sticker shock and bring your own bags. We found groceries in general to be 25% higher when adjusted for the exchange rate. That said, there are some really nice "speciality" items that you are hard to find in the US that were common in the 2 groceries that we used.

While we did notice some abuse by prior tenants, the property was scheduled for minor maintenance after we left. My guess is somebody with teenagers or young children had a little too much running around in the house. We estimate that the house could have slept almost 20 people as most bedrooms have 2 queen sized beds. The beds were very comfortable and the HVAC system worked well. We had no mechanical issues while we stayed.

As with most surveys, the ultimate question is "would you stay again or would you use this property manager again?" Our answer is absolutely yes in both cases. If traveling with a larger party, I would seek to rent this property again. If traveling with just my wife, we would work with this team to fins a smaller property.

Good Afternoon,

We began our research and quickly fell in love with the Niagara on the Green property. The price was a third of what we would have spent elsewhere with fewer amenities, and at a further distance to the falls! Each one of us maintains a hectic lifestyle between full time work and/or attending school. The best thing about the house was being able to sit back and relax! The comfortable couches and big screen tv in the living room made for some quality movie time. Even the dining room became the center of attention with many a card night while watching some tv. The kitchen was more than spacious enough to accommodate the six of us while whipping up a hearty meal. Even the beds were fantastic, unlike those found in a normal hotel. The relaxing didn't last long, as none of us were accustomed to sitting around for hours on end. Having multiple bathrooms was truly helpful in getting us out of the house quickly. We then jumped in the car and within 15 minutes we were at the falls, or a nearby attraction. Can you say convenient?! Every day, we would park at the Fallsview Casino for a daily rate of $5 and then check out one or two of the activities. Our first and most obvious destination was the Skylon Tower for a spectacular view of both falls, the surrounding area, and even a faint view of Toronto's Skydome and the city itself. Amazing! Like every other tourist, we took a journey behind the falls, a stroll down Clifton Hill, and even stayed out for the illumination of the falls over the next few days. All of those questions about the weather, in Canada, during March were quickly wiped away with temperatures over 60 every day. This gave way to our two favorite activities, the first of which was our hike down along the Niagara River gorge. The weather was beautiful on the day of our hike. The trails are clearly marked from the entrance near Niagara Glen and are so all the way down to the river. At the falls, you can really feel the power of the water, but at a distance. Down in the gorge, you can sit on a rock, feet from the rushing water and just take in the beauty of it all! As simple as it is, our other favorite activity was walking around the neighborhood surrounding the house. Everyone was friendly, the streets were quiet and clean. There was even a small park which the six of us probably spent a little too much time in! It is not a question of if we will return to Canada, but when we will return! Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Hi Mike,

I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time and truly enjoyed the rental. It was so clean and plenty of room for us.
Thanks for the place and I will sure be looking you up the next time I come into town.

Thank you,
