Book a Barker Cottage

"The hotel is very nice. The room was clean and modern. "

"This is a very unconventional arrangement for a hotel. It does not even have a reception desk. The owner, who lives remotely, provides entry and room door combinations. Fortunately, he reached me via phone when I was on the road. IMO, however, booking services (e.g., trivago, expedia) need to ascertain that as part of the booking process and forewarn clients of the unconventional nature of this place."

"The room was super clean! New carpet, flooring and mattress in the room. We were able to check in early which was a plus. Excellent experience we will definitely be back. "

"Lake Onterio Cottage reviewWe arrived at this idyllic cottage which is literly as close to the water of Lake Ontario as it could be and found a home which excludes warmth & welcome in abundance.I laid in the bed early the next morning looking out over the lake as a misty sunrise was dawning and early autumn breezes came through the open window, I heard the haunting cry of a loon calling out to it’s mate. The message reverberated through me acoustically like it was saying, “it’s mornings’ song…. It is your song too…. You have just forgotten it.”Our entire expiernce was like this in unexpected ways. The cottage is equipped with everything you could ever need. It is clean, full of charm & memontos of lives well lived.Our host Dan is fantastic as is the helpful neighbor Joe. Joe has little stray cats that play between the proprties. They are so fun to watch… you can bet there are no mice or rats around their homes. As I said joy comes to this place in unexpected ways.I’m not sure why Niagara Falls was never on our bucket list… perhaps narrowness of mind on our part…I don’t know, but it should have been…it’s only a 45 minute drive…and a somewhat an emotional experience in person. Certainly one not to be missed.If you are looking for a soul renewal or r the kind of place where you can actually exhale… this is it, complete with sweeping sunrises, sunsets, moonrises and starry skies… you will not be disappointed with this Lake Onterio cottage."

"It was a short stay but the hotel had everything we needed and a great night sleep as well. Comfort was definitely top of the list. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for long or short stay."
