Amazing stay right in the heart of Niagara On the Lake!

LOVED staying at the Meritage House -- the property was beautiful, well kept and clean, the beds were comrotable, kitchen fully equipped, easy check in process, and tons of space. The Meritage was beautiful - love the elegant cottage feel -- and the main street with all of the quaint shops, restaurants, and pubs was just steps from our front porch. Communication with the host, Rigo, was great - easy, timely and friendly. We look forward to our next stay!

Family mid-way travel resting place.

Our family had a wonderful experience, delightful location, lovely home w cozy beds. thank you to Rigo! He is accommodating and a wonderful host. If you’re needing a mid-way stop, this is a great spot. A little note, the town shops close early (4 - 4:30pm) but restaurants open until 10pm, overall we enjoyed our stay and love the neighborhood. 🌸 -Dawn & Family 🌸

Great choice for Shaw Theaters and town

We had a little trouble reaching our host, but in the end he got us the check in info 1 hour before we were to get in. So it all worked out. The property is teriffic. Beds were comfy, showers were good even with using two at the same time. Decorated nicely. I would stay again.

Great location! Patio is great for BBQ and enjoying a glass of wine. We loved our stay. We had a great time here, and this home was just perfect. It's walking distance to downtown with it's restaurants, pubs and shops, and an equally short distance to the lakefront park, as well as another mid-town park. We really enjoyed our mornings sitting on the porch drinking coffee. The beds themselves were very comfortable. We'd definitely recommend this place to friends. Thank you very much our host Rigo.

Stay in NOTL.

Not impressed with the check in process. We were sent instructions….which turned out to be the wrong ones. Attempts to contact the given numbers were not straightforward. The second of two numbers responded after about 45 minutes…but had to call us back while they found the correct info. These finally got us into the house over an hour after arriving. The owner responded about 2 hours later after phone and text message were left……somewhat apologetic and indicating the instructions were an oversight. The front steps had not been cleared of ice and snow from the overnight fall. The house is as described, clean, tidy and properly equipped. Location is very convenient to everything in Niagara on the Lake.

Very spacious house, perfect location. Digital entry system worked very smoothly. Would have appreciated access to additional blankets for guests who need extra warmth while sleeping. Had to find towels in laundry room—would have been nice to have them in bathrooms or bedrooms. Enjoyed morning coffee on the back patio!
