Relaxing and fishing

Once again we enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Homestead House. The location of the house is quiet and relaxing the house itself is very roomy and was very clean and welcoming We will definitely be booking another trip. If fishing is what your there for there are 2 main launches ( Barcelona and North West ) less than 15 min away.

Amazing weekend stay

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and property set the mood for a girls wine weekend. The charm of the 1800s house with vineyards, an old barn and tree swing. It's proximity to the wineries, distilleries and lake Erie was amazing. Everything was only minutes away. We can't wait to come back and just escape for another long weekend

Great stay!

Great communication! Promptly set up our toddler bed the morning of our arrival. The place is a great old house with plenty of personal touches and well thought out amenities. Right in the middle of a vineyard, it has a great farmhouse atmosphere. Exactly what we were looking for.

Scenic and cozy

This house had everything we needed and more. There was ample space and comfortable seating and beds. I appreciated the supplies in the kitchen like measuring cups, whisk, baking pans etc… and the toys for the kids. The house is nestled within miles and miles of vineyards and there’s a lovely view of Lake Erie (10 mins away) which is enormous! We enjoyed the fire pit too. It was a very nice stay. Thank you!

First Time User

This was the first time using a home rental property, and we were thrilled with how everything went. We went in with low expectations and we’re completely surprised with how nice everything was. They even left us a welcoming basket with a loaf of homemade bread and grape jelly. We’ll definitely rent here again.
