Loved how local and walkable this unique little cottage was. It felt like stepping into a pioneer village home and yet had all of the modern amenities. Special mother/daughter weekend was perfect here.

Incredible location steps from all of NOTL's Queen Street attractions and Simcoe park. Perfect location for a weekend of theater at the Shaw Festival, comfortable inside and out, with a lovely quiet garden for socializing between shows. A historic house with all the updates you need.

Lovely, quiet location

Our stay was wonderful. The house is about a 5 minute walk from all the amenities on Queen Street, but extremely quiet and tucked away.Would highly recommend both the house and the area. Looking forward to visiting again.

Wonderful historic home literally a step or two away from the main downtown of NOTL and Lake Ontario, Queens Beach Park. House was historic but had the creature comforts of home. Sindy and Drew were wonderful hosts. We will stay here again, unless you all who read this book it up, which you should!

Loved it!

We loved everything about this house and the community. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and furnished in 19th century antiques, just one block from Queen Street and 2 blocks from the waterfront and bike trail access. Wish we lived closer so we could return frequently!

We enjoyed our 5-night stay in the beautifully restored Alexander McKee House. The attention to historical detail is truly remarkable. If you close your eyes when the horse-drawn carriages go by, you could almost imagine yourself transported back to 1835. Highly recommend!

Location location location!

Sindy’s place was the perfect location to all the shops, parks, restaurants and water. We never had to use the car at all! The Alexander McKee house is a beautiful historical home that took us back in time. We had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. Stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furnishings and a gorgeous porch and patio surrounded by lush plants and flowers. We can’t say enough good things about Sindy’s place and will definitely be back next year!
