Grown up getaway
Home was clean and lovely and well stocked. It was a bit small for 12 adults, 8-10 would have been better accommodated, or adults and kids, as pull out sofa in basement was more appropriate for one small adult or two kids. Location was nice as we were able to slip in and out of NOTL and close wineries easily. There is also a nice walking trail behind the house a block away. We enjoyed Port Dalhousie beach and marina also.

Chez grapescape was the perfect go between for our kids hockey tournament and relaxing between games. The boys loved the game room(s) and had just enough room for them to play safely outside. We had more than enough room for the families that stayed and the price point was perfect!

Perfect for our weekend getaway
The house was perfect for our group of 2 couples and 2 singles. It was so welcoming and the host was so quick to answer any concerns and questions. Our only problem? Our trip was too short to be able to really enjoy relaxing in this adorable house! We came up to Niagara on the Lake & St. Catharines for our annual "Wine-o Weekend Getaway" in celebration of our anniversary and my husband's birthday. We will definitely look to see if this place is available next year so we can book again! Perfect distance from everything for us. Great place! You won't be disappointed.

Family time
This was a great place to stay with plenty of room and plenty to do in the area. We went to Niagara Falls one day, picked strawberries, went to Toronto, etc. The Greek restaurant nearby was fabulous, and we did take out from a local fish and chip chain (the name escapes me). The place was clean, bright and there was more than enough room for our group of 5. We could have had more and still not been crowded at all. I would def rent again if in the area.

Girls’ Getaway
A perfect place for a girls’ getaway! We did lots of things…. Winery your, brewery tour, hiking, Niagara-on-the-Lake and shopping. Nothing was more than 15 minutes away! Pre poetry is very well appointed and the little extras were appreciated… coffee, tea, snacks. The personalized welcome sign was a nice touch. Halfway through our stay the host contacted us to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay and experience
From the moment we made out booking until the minute we departed at the end of our stay, Zuman was amazing. The home was impeccably clean when we arrived, well marked so we did not have to hunt for items and a fantastic location. When we asked about places for groceries and to eat, he was more than helpful. A fantastic deck out back for morning coffee that is nice and cool in the heat of the afternoon as well for 'happy hour'. We could not have asked for anything more. We have recommended it already to other family looking for a home to rent. Thank you Zuman for a great week and experience!
