We stayed two days in this lovely antique house and we really enjoyed it. The owner took time to explain us the surroundings and she made us feel like home. It's very well situated and the bike path is just in front of the house. The breakfasts were very good , but we would have preferred to have them earlier.

We stayed one overnight to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Eva was extremely helpful, recommending several restaurants and wineries. She was spot-on with those recommendations. Our dinner was fantastic, we liked every piece of advice she gave us. We spent some time out on the veranda, and had the opportunity to chat with another couple in a relaxed setting. The room was nice, the bathroom clean and spacious. The house itself was lovely, old mouldings, pretty gardens.
The breakfast in the morning was delicious and plentiful. I do, however wish it was served earlier than 9 am, as we are early risers.

The Grand Victorian was the perfect 3-day weekend getaway for us. Start with a home that was built before the American Civil war. Add an owner who has lovingly refurbished it room by room, removing 10 layers of paint from a beautiful wooden staircase railing and all of the fireplaces (and, I'm sure, many other places). Set it all next door to a vineyard that produces wonderful wines (Reif Vineyards) right on the Niagara Parkway, just a couple of miles out of town. Close enough to town to jump on a bike and ride into town on the recreational trail before breakfast and view Niagara on the Lake before the rest of the tourists arrive (so you can take pictures that aren't full of people). Like going back in time -- period furniture inside, wicker furniture on the relaxing front porch, nice grounds (not too fancy, but flowers abound). Knowledgeable, caring hostess who attends to needs. Compared to some of the prices we observed in-town, the Grand Victorian may be one of the best values in the region.

We stayed here with two other couples in June 2011. Eva was a great hostess, breakfast was fantastic, and we really loved having our wine on the porch with friends. It's quiet and peaceful and the winery is right next door. Doesn't get much better. We will come again!
