The house is beautifully situated and was very clean and comfortable for the 6 of us. We particularly enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evening after a day of winery hopping and visiting the shops in town. All in all, a wonderful 3-day retreat.

The Bracken House is one of the nicest VRBO properties we have stayed at anywhere. We are a group of friends meeting in NOTL for a bit of theatre at the Shaw Festival as well as some sightseeing. The Bracken house was perfect for our group. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but very well equipped and the furniture is both comfortable and accommodating for catching up with our old friends and having a glass of wine or two. Jodie, our host, met us at the house on our arrival and showed us where everything was. She is an artist and lots of her ceramic works as well as some other art decorate the home. The house is somewhat secluded with a very private backyard seating area and fire pit. Lots of birds visit the birdfeeder providing entertaining viewing. Although the listing only shows 2 baths, there is a full bath downstairs that we used as well. The downstairs tv room is very comfortable for relaxing and watching a movie at night after a day full of sightseeing, shopping, or perhaps to enjoy that wine you bought at one of the many vineyards in the area. Jodie also provided a detailed book explaining how things work, how to handle recycling, composting, and garbage, and some suggestions about the area. Very helpful.

We were 6 adults (my husband, brother, son, daughter, and her fiance). We had a great time relaxing in the beautiful and spacious backyard, playing croquet, barbecuing, reading. The lake was a short walk away. Jodie and David were wonderful hosts and very accessible. We spent three nights there and all had a wonderful time.

This house was beautiful inside and out! There are beautiful flowers and gardens all around the property and a nice patio with a table to enjoy your coffee at in the morning or dinner in the evening. There is also a fire pit and plenty of firewood. The inside is very clean and well stocked with everything from towels, blankets, and kitchenware. Jodie is an excellent host and will ensure you have a great stay. The house is located about 5 minutes from the middle of the town with lots of shops and restaurants near by. There are also several wineries close by. Niagara Falls is only about 30 minutes away as well. This house is in a great location and is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Niagara on the Lake.

We had a blissful 12 day Christmas holiday at the wondrous Bracken House. Stormy weather had us arrive into NOTL one day earlier than planned and Jodie and David were able to accommodate us. Arriving early evening into a beautifully lite home all decked out for Christmas with a fire started and so many lovely touches throughout the house, was just the best! The home is immaculate, and so warm and inviting. With the storm blowing outside, we hardly left our place for several days. The huge windows throughout the home on a large private lot, allowed us to be snuggled inside while we watched nature whirling around us. The birds and squirrels, including the rare silver squirrel were a marvel to watch. We made use daily of the fully equipped gourmet kitchen and had everything we needed to prepare a holiday turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The large entertainment room in the basement was perfect for movies and game nights as well as a quiet place to do some work when needed. The bedrooms are beautiful appointed and serene with beds that are oh so comfortable. Together with three well equipped bathrooms, we had all the space a family could need. We LOVED our stay at Bracken House and we loved our adventures in NOTL, Niagara Falls as well as St Catherine’s, all within a short distance from the house. NOTL was all decked out for Christmas and with the pristine snow everywhere, the town truly lived up to its promise of ‘prettiest town in Canada’. We felt truly blessed to have such a lovey holiday. Thank you Jodie and David for offering up your wonderful home and hospitality. It was the best!!!

It is a perfect location near NOTL, Jodie was great, she was there when we arrived to show us around the place and would respond quickly if we had any questions. The place was clean and the backyard with the firepit was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and or go biking.

Our Vacation at Bracken house.

Our Vacation at Bracken house.

We had an excellent time. Jodie, the owner lives nearby and she is easily available. House is located in a nice quiet area. Every thing which we needed was in the house. Jodie gave us informative tour of the house and neighborhood. We enjoyed in the house interesting books, board games, firepit in the backyard, birds, all nearby attractions and scenic route to Niagara. One very interesting hidden gem is nearby secluded beach. It just appears out of nowhere after walking few metres along a narrow wooded path. It was refreshing and rejuvenating experience. Thank you Jodie and Vrbo.

Idyllic retreat for a few days with family

Idyllic retreat for a few days with family

We are a family with two young boys and we normally travel at Christmas to see family. This being 2020, this obviously was not possible so we decided to staycate close by at Braken House in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It was wonderful. As soon as we walked in we felt right at home with comfortable, and stylish furnishings. The open plan upstairs was very cheerful with the fire going and allowed for everyone to chat while we were getting meals ready. The boys particularly enjoyed the 70” TV in the basement to play their Nindendo Switch and the space was big enough for the adults to play Trivial Pursuit with comfort. At night we all retreated to our bedrooms where we nestled into very comfy beds wrapped in equally luxurious linens for a great night’s sleep. The grounds were quiet and close to great walking trails and sledding slopes for the kids. Everything was spotless, the hosts are great and very willing to help. We are definitely coming back for more! Thank you Jodie and David for allowing us to relax, refresh and look forward to 2021!

Home away from Home

Home away from Home

I will be renting Bracken house again, a beautiful spacious home geared to children, a full chef's kitchen, and the gardens are breathtaking. Each morning as i sat in the garden i saw hummingbirds, birds feeding and listening to the various sounds.. My guests and I enjoyed sitting around the fire and roasting marshmallows. There are games and kids toys for them to enjoy, a huge TV and everything you can think off. We unpacked our bags, bought groceries, settled in. Jodie graciously left us fresh fruit from her tree, brought over homemade honey and crab apple syrup. She is the steward of her land and the land is deeply cared for. Each of the bedrooms were a good size, with comfortable bedding and beautiful art...the living and dinning room inviting and a well lit home. Jodie was always gracious when asked questions. I have chosen Bracken house as my second home away from home and will visit again soon.

We stayed at this property over a long weekend with two families (5 kids) and had a very relaxing time! Jodie was a wonderful host! The location is quiet and peaceful, away from the crowds but easily walkable to some trails leading to the lake. The kids had a great time running around on the property and we enjoyed sitting in the backyard and relaxing by the fire pit. This house is impeccably clean, very nicely decorated and has lots of natural light throughout. You can see Jodie's artistic touch throughout the property. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to our friends!

We had a wonderful weekend at Bracken House! The place was spotless and beautifully designed with lots of artwork and furnishings that were just our style. Practically everything you need is provided, from kitchenwares to curling irons, and the grounds were spacious and peaceful. Jodie was a very kind and welcoming host. (only feedback is I would recommend calling her instead of emailing for any questions) Would go back in a heartbeat!

Convenient, comfortable and very cheery

We spent 5 busy days in Niagara on the Lake, biking, going to the theatre, sight-seeing and sun- set chasing and there was nothing more satisfying/inspiring than knowing we were coming "home" to a bright, well designed and well equipped house. The garden is beautiful, we had a barbecue and "around the table" breakfasts. It is special as a place to the just relax. Jodie is an interesting and gracious host.

Lovely house. Location was good, even though out of town. Easy drive or bicycle to get into town. 3 couples, 3 kids, plus another family at the Bushy House B&B. It worked out very well.

Perfect!!!

Perfect!!!

There were two couples, so we only rented half of the house. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. Jodie and David were helpful and attentive hosts. If anything, the listing did not do justice to the house. I expected a lot, and our stay far exceeded my expectations. I will recommend this house, and Bushy House (we stayed there one night too) to anyone travelling to Niagara-on-the-Lake. By the way, the wine is very good too...

Stayed at Bracken House with a group of 10 girls and loved every minute. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could possibly need (the slippers were especially appreciated). Jodie was friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable! Really enjoyed my stay and will definitely return!
