We loved our stayed! Group of women celebrating 20 years of friendships. Great location. Kitchen well stocked and open space and pool enjoyed by all! Suggestions: need a mirror in BR at top of stairs / deck needs power wash(one woman fell on slippery surface bottom of stairs to deck). Was raining when we arrived and front entry paths were very very slippery. Oil the bathroom door with the largest BR - so squeaky. Maybe trim a few more trees to get a bit more sun on back pool area. Just a few suggestions. Would definitely reccomend THE Pines.

We had such an excellent weekend at The Pines! The rooms were so cute and comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, the backyard with the pool (warm and clean) was perfect for an afternoon lounge. Easy and lovely walk into the main town - ideal for a family or friends weekend!

From the reservation process to checkout this was an easy and wonderful place to visit. It's quiet and well decorated and provides plenty to work with in the kitchen. This is important for families with kids that constantly want to eat, lol! Location in a beautiful town was easy and the drive to Niagara Falls was along the river and a beautiful drive. We couldn't say enough about how much we enjoyed it.

What a fabulous house in an extraordinary location. It was the perfect fit for our family getaway. A true Niagara on the Lake property with old school charm but all the modern comforts to make it a truly special stay.

Beautifully decorated, clean, and loved all the natural wood! Close to town and very convenient location. Would definitely rent this home again. Thank you to Ivana our Host.

Home was beautiful and kitchen well appointed. Open concept living area conducive to gathering and communication. Plenty of room for our entire family to congregate and celebrate. Beds were comfortable and house was clean.

This beautiful house was so welcoming! It was the perfect space for us, great area and very clean!

Simcoe Pines definitely has the charm one would expect in Old Town NOTL. Its location on a quiet intersection, but not far from Queen Street, made it very relaxing and convenient. The hosts were very welcoming, made communication quite easy and were quick to attend to our questions and requests. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable week. Pros 1 - comfortable patio, deck, and pool area 2 - kitchen generously stocked with equipment and other helpful supplies 3 - open style (spacious) kitchen and dining room area 4 - fast and reliable internet, really appreciated being able to stream music to the pool area Cons 1 - we are people who like to read, do puzzles, and play games, so the general dim lighting in the house was problematic, notably on the first floor. Using lower brightness bulbs certainly provides charm, but at the expense of activities that benefit from good illumination. 2 - we typically cook breakfast and lunches in the homes we rent, and the stove (modern construction, antique look) had issues with the stovetop heat controls. Our hosts were quick to try to address these issues, but we still had challenges being able to set and adjust burner heat. A more permanent solution might be needed. Ideas 1 - The first floor bedroom has a queen size bed, but is a relatively small room, especially for two people. As a result, there is very minimal space for storage, and no clothes drawers in the room. We'd suggest swapping the Bluebird room's full-size bed to the first floor room, adding a small clothes drawer, and moving the queen bed upstairs. 2 - the pedestal sink in the shared bathroom on the second floor has independent controls for cold and hot water, which makes it hard to get warm water. We just changing out the faucets to allow warm water control. 3 - we enjoyed ourselves in the patio/deck/pool area. We love all the trees on the property, but think there might be an opportunity for some judicious trimming of tree branches to enable a bit more sunlight to reach the pool.

A beautiful, nicely decorated and well-appointed home in a great location that our family of 3 generations all enjoyed. Thanks Ivana!

This property had all the comforts of home! Nice walk into town, beautiful neighborhood, lovely pool!

Had a great experience at our place! Amazing location, very close to the centre of town. The host were very quick to responded and made check in and check out easy, would definitely stay again!

Property was well equipped and clean. We appreciated the historical accents, fitting for such a historic place.

Our stay was excellent from the beginning. Excellent communication all during the complete process. The home is as described and was great for the 8 of us. The harvest table was great for our breakfast. Located In a very quiet neighborhood just minutes from downtown. Would recommend this property

We had a great time spending the weekend at The Pines! Everything was wonderful.

Beautiful character home in NOTL. Spacious for 10 people. Kitchen, dining room and living room are open to one another which was nice so we could all comfortably fit. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. No complaints for us! It was a lovely weekend away.

The property was exactly as advertised- beautifully decorated and quite spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining and living room area made it easy to have the whole group together. While it was early spring, we did enjoy some time outside on the beautiful patio - we can only imagine how fun it would be in the summer with the pool and cabana. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. This is a great property for a couple of families or a girls weekend away.
