What makes this property “Absolutely Fantastic “ ?
a) The property itself
b) The host , Kathrine De Bois
Warning, if you are looking for a cheap substitute for a Holiday Inn Express, or a Sheraton Hotel , this may not be the place for you . You have to have a bit of “adventurism “in you to enjoy yourself here . If you merely treat this as a place to stay overnight, you will be missing out on the best part that a stay here has to offer. Treat your stay here as a “destination “ , the house is like a history museum.
The house is 160 + years old , a tour of the house will prove this . My favorite room was the parlor , it has a comfortable seating arrangement , fireplace and lots and lots of reading material all dating back at least 100 years . It is a great place to meet other guests .
We were there in the “ off season “ the last week end in September , so my wife and I had lots of “ one on one “ time with Kathrine . She is a delightful person .
Although Niagara Falls is a destination you seek to visit once or twice in a lifetime , we are looking for an excuse to return , just to see Kathrine again .
