    10 Top Ontario Vacation Rentals Near Niagara Falls

    William Stupp
    August 19, 2022

    North America’s most stunning international landmark, Niagara Falls is a wonder to behold. Beyond the undeniable beauty of its display of so much water cascading through the air, the Falls is a remarkable and palpable symbol of the sheer power of water and nature as a whole. To observe Niagara’s waterfalls without feeling some sense of the profound stir within seems an impossible feat.

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    Niagara Falls isn’t simply a hydrological marvel, it is also a splendid vacation destination and a great way to visit Canada. Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a small city on the western banks of the Niagara River. The Falls certainly is the star attraction, but there’s much more to the area. It’s bordered by the north shores of Lake Erie, Canada’s “South Coast,” and the southern shore beaches of Lake Ontario in Niagara-On-The-Lake. The region is home to a large selection of wineries and golf courses. Other attractions include North America’s largest butterfly conservatory and an impressive 99-acre botanical garden. Niagara Falls is also home to historic buildings and two casinos. 

    Niagara Falls won’t be around forever. Scientists estimate we only have another 15,000 years to marvel at Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three waterfalls on the Niagara River. So hurry in and book your trip before it’s too late.

    To help you on your way, we’re providing a list of 10 rental properties in Niagara Falls. Find your Vrbo in Ontario today.

    The Clement House$323.60/nightly avg

    Built in 1786, Joseph Clement’s home still stands today. Painstakingly maintained and modernized, it is an excellent house rental, a modern home with residual echoes hinting at a long ago but not-quite-faded past. The kitchen has new appliances and beautiful marble countertops. Original wooden beams line the ceilings and separate the wine room from the fireplace (with the Ravine Estate Vineyard next door, it’s only fitting for the home to have a wine room). The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a large Jacuzzi bath and one with a walk-in shower. Five miles north of the Falls, the home is near all of the area’s attractions but sits in the quieter area of Niagara-On-The-Lake.

    Al and Heather have a truly special place they share with others. As described, it is a fully updated home, originally built in the late 1700’s. The beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms are luxurious, lots of space for sitting, reading, talking and a fully outfitted kitchen with lovely dining space. One of our best places ever. Thank you!
    The hosts are great to deal with. Very hospitable. Would come back often
    We loved our stay at The Clement House! We were excited to explore Niagara-on-the-Lake, but this house kept drawing us back. It was clean, spacious, and GORGEOUS! The history of this house is incredible, and it was truly a treasure to have stayed here. We highly recommend!
    Beautiful home inside and out. Beautiful view of the Ravine Winery. And owners, Al and Heather are wonderful to deal with. Well stocked and appointed historical home conveniently located as home base for bicycling trips and wine tours. We would not stay anywhere else when in Niagara on the Lake.
    From check in to check out this home provided every comfort for bridesmaids including an infant to bride and groom and then to the whole wedding party on the morning after. Thanks to owners Al and Heather for such a perfect place.

    Waterfront Home In Crystal Beach$388.32/nightly avg

    Steps away from a private sandy beach on Lake Erie, this beautiful and stately home is a perfect Ontario getaway. Crystal Beach is a great location, about 20 miles south of downtown Niagara, so the Falls are a short drive away. When you’ve had enough of swimming in the lake, the house has a saltwater swimming pool that is heated during the winter. Shops and restaurants are a short walk away, as are the community’s tennis, pickleball, and beach volleyball facilities. Light is inescapable in this bright home thanks to its many windows offering views of the lake. Highlights include the home’s balconies and its sunroom.

    We had a wonderful stay with our family of 4 this summer. The house is beautiful and CBTYC is one of a kind. We look forward to returning next summer.
    Me and my brother’s family stayed at Tricia’s rental property during the July 4th US Independence Day long weekend. We stayed for one week. We had an infant, 2, 4 and 5 year old.This place is so worth it. Travelling with kids is not easy but this property has everything you need, just bring your own towels as the listing mentioned. From kitchen appliances, 2 coffee makers (one Nespresso !!), garbage bags, cleaning supplies, toilet paper!!, dishes, cutlery, etc to a bug zapper machine, good quality sun umbrella, wagon and beach chairs…you really just need clothes, food if cooking and towels. The community is great. 2 min walk to the private beach, 3 min walk to the pool and playground and the strip has some nice restaurants to either dine in or Order out if you need a break from cooking.We will definitely come again and have already recommended this place to family and friends.
    If you are looking for an upscale property in Crystal Beach, Ontario, this one is a great choice. It is located in a gated community and has a good view of Lake Eerie. The beach is maybe a 2 minute walk. The community has a a smallish outdoor pool and tennis courts. The municipality limits the number of people who can stay in properties to 8. Because the house is large and can accommodate many more, there is lots of space. The owner, Tricia, is great to deal with. The property listing is accurate, so there is no need to repeat that information here. This a comfortable, well equipped home. There is a killer balcony off the master bedroom with views to the lake and two rocking chairs to enjoy it with: a large front porch to visit on, and if you are on the porch the folks in the community are really friendly and will say hello and often stop to chat, we did not use the sunroom but it looks cozy. This place will not disappoint.
    Lots of outdoor areas to sit – front porch; upper covered deck and rear yard deck with BBQ. Great walks on the beach. Host very accommodating.
    We had great family Thanksgiving weekend at this fully equipped, beautifully decorated and clean beach house. Check-in and -out was very easy. Tricia, thanks for sharing your lovely ho.e with our family.

    Historic Niagara Falls Home$434.65/nightly avg

    Tastes change over the years and decades, but quality craftsmanship and design persist. So it is with this home near the city center. Recently restored, the property has been designated a heritage home by the government — a historic building worthy of preservation. This pedigree is self-evident. From the foyer’s flowery wallpaper to the antique furniture in the living room and stately beds, this is not the kind of home built in today’s world. The home is surrounded by perennial plants. The fenced-in backyard has a deck, grilling area, and a large hot tub. There are two queen bedrooms, a king, and a kids’ room with two twins. Downtown is just a short walk away.

    This was a great house, the location is perfect! Very easy check in. Owners are very responsive to questions. We had a great time!
    We had a group of friends and the house was accommodating to all 8 of us.The only problem was it was close to the highway and very noisy at times Clean.They gave perfect directions and instructions.We would stay again.
    Property was as expected, Kitchen was great, beds were comfortable, hot tub was good we enjoyed our stay was a good location near everything
    Great location and setting. Kids loved the hot tub. Owners were extremely helpful
    We were shocked to receive a message a WEEK AFTER our departure from the owners of this property. We were a group of 8 professional adults from respectable families…ladies who came to enjoy a quiet weekend. A week after our departure, the owners decided to send us an inaccurate list of items amiss and an astronomical charge of $190 for the same. We left the place spotless on departure. The only item that was broken by us was a cup and it was an accident.. Such owners ruin it for other property owners. An all-inclusive inventory list of every item in the property was not provided to us on arrival. Should this now be a REQUIREMENT by all owners in future? Had they provided us with a list, we would have followed the list and crossed off every item, and if anything was amiss, we would have reported the same immediately. Accidentally chipping a cup is part and parcel of renting properties at an astronomical price. 2 beer stein broken – We do not drink and hence did not use any beer glasses or whatever is a stein! You should have rummaged the recycling bin and garbage and we can assure you that you would not have found any empties.1 cereal bowl broken – We have no idea about this. It was probably chipped from before or after our departure.1 coffee cup broken – yes, we accept this.1 soup bowl broken – We have no idea about this. It was probably chipped from before or after our departure.2 rolls of organic bags missed – We have no idea of this and did not even see them or need them. One bag was in the organic bin which was filled and disposed in the green bin on departure.10 rolls of toilet paper missed – we were not advised to bring our own toilet paper! Toilet paper is for use. If you did not want us to use the toilet paper, you should NOT have placed them in the washrooms, or advised us of the same in your ‘check-in list’. 1 small glass missed – We do no idea what you are talking about?2 spatulas missed – We have no idea about this. We have never experienced such rip-off owners in all the years we have rented several properties in Ontario. Please be wary renting this property as there seems to be some kind of scam going on here or the house is HAUNTED – it would not surprise us as there were strange noises at night. Some of us were pretty scared!!

    Stylish House On The Niagara River$661.18/nightly avg

    Located in the village of Queenston, this riverside home offers contemporary glamor in a historic setting. It’s easy to see why Loyalists fleeing from the aftermath of the American Revolution decided to settle here. It’s a scenic spot with excellent views of the water. The home features evocative works of modern art and other contemporary fixtures like an open-plan kitchen. The master bedroom looks out on the water and the two queen bedrooms are fitted with high thread count sheets of Egyptian cotton. Minutes away from wineries and golf courses, the property is about 5 miles north of downtown Niagara Falls.

    Great house for the family with plenty of space for outside dining. Easy drive to Niagra on the Lake which is exceptionally pretty at this time of year with so many floral displays. Lots of vineyards close by and Niagra Falls is about a 20 min drive. Spiral staircase is a slight challenge getting luggage and food supplies to the first floor. Would highly recommend this property although possibly a little overpriced.
    Great location, house, and yard!
    Beautiful property – the location (right on the Niagara River) was even better than advertised. Also, communication with the host was excellent (we had a few questions leading up to the trip – and received immediate responses).
    This property, with a deep front lawn and a beautiful back lawn edging the spectacular Niagara River, is modern, spacious, bright, well equipped, with comfortable bedrooms. There are three outdoor areas where guests can sit, eat and enjoy the quiet and the view. Fifteen minute drive to the Falls, and 12 minutes to Niagara on the Lake, both journeys along the Niagara River Parkway. The owner is helpful and attentive.
    The house is just as beautifuI as it apears in the pictures . The view of the river is claiming and stunning . Will definitely be back for a quaint time. I have been to many vacation properties in the last few years , but always had bad surprises specially during the pandemic when there was shortage for vacation properties .

    Century Home Short Walk From The Falls$364.05/nightly avg

    This charming 100-year-old home is not only a comfortable accommodation for large groups, it is also a window into the past. From the style and layout of the sitting rooms to the home’s sheer size, it shows what things were like when families were larger and held different priorities. It has five bedrooms with suitably antique beds (the mattresses are modern) and is filled with old-fashioned furnishings for guests to admire. The home has a fenced-in backyard, a front porch, and plenty of room to entertain.

    This was a great house to stay in. 2 families fit comfortably. Very unique decor. Walking distance to a Wego stop made traveling with 9 so easy! Geoffrey recommended so many awesome places to eat! We had a great time!
    Stayed for a weekend with some friends, location is perfect. Chose the house because of its decor and our friends loved it. Beds were comfortable. Host was respectful and responsive.
    When we arrived the young people with us were excited to stay in a vintage style home furnished with what appeared to be antique furnishings. The house was spotlessly clean, bathrooms were modern, beds were comfortable, floors (at least on the upper level) and the stairs creaked when you walked over them just like they used to in “olden days.” The large table in the kitchen accommodated all nine of us at one time and mealtime served as an experience as it might have felt when families were larger than most are now. No one complained about the accommodation. Thank you for letting us stay.
    Geoffrey was very responsive & friendly! The house was also incredibly well equipped with fresh towels, fridge condiments kitchen bakeware & cookware

    The Twiglet$161/nightly avg

    Looking to make your trip to the Falls a unique experience? Consider staying at The Twiglet, a cottage rental in an active animal sanctuary. The small and independent rescue center is about 15 minutes from the Falls and is home to potbelly pigs, donkeys, and more — the star attractions being the goats George and Monty. Guests are free to interact with the critters at their leisure. The guesthouse is a small building in the woods next to the property’s dragonfly pond. There is a feeling of utmost privacy, even on the large deck, perfect for a couples getaway. The Twiglet includes a full kitchen and queen bedroom.

    Large Lakeside Home$422.89/nightly avg

    Lake Erie looks most serene through the windows of this lovely place. The water is ready for toe-dipping and the sand is much obliged to host sunbathers. The property is divided between the main house and an adjacent guesthouse. The open-concept living area (always flooded with light from the wall-to-wall windows), two lakeview king bedrooms, and a room with two bunk beds are found in the main building. The guest house has two twin beds and a queen in the living area. A pool is set into the lakeside deck. Drive north through the countryside, south of the city, and you can reach the Falls in a little under half an hour.

    We celebrated my husbands 40th birthday at Bertie Bay Bliss. We were a group of 9. The location is stunning. You wouldn’t want to leave home… just soak in the pool and sip some margaritas!The sun room was great for the kids to do their board games and Nintendo!The kitchen and pantry are well stocked with utensils and essentials. The is ample space for everyone. Perhaps the most stunning feature of the property is when you enter in and see the gorgeous lake view. Everything was very clean and well kept. It’s truly a luxurious stay with all the warmth and comfort!We loved every minute of it and would surely recommend the property for a big family reunion!
    great house, pool is so much fun, access to beach at side, kitchen is well equipped, easy to cook there for big group of 8 🙂 bunkie is quite cozy, comfy beds
    This was a great getaway close to everything but still quiet and private. Close access to running trails and a well stocked kitchen. Pool was great and lots of sunny and shady places to hang out.
    Great pool to lounge around and enjoy. Lots of space inside and out to enjoy. Teri was responsive and helpful. My only comment is that the property is showing it’s age a bit and needs some maintenance. Meets expectations of a cottage but I would expect a more premium experience for the money.
    This house was great. It was large enough to fit my extended family. Views of the lake are amazing and the pool and patio areas were a ton of fun for the entire family. The house and property are very secluded and quiet which was nice. Great house and close enough for the Niagara region to enjoy all of the sites and tours.

    Modern Home With Spa Facilities$646.47/nightly avg

    Though full of light and equipped with brand new furnishings filling its spacious living areas, the highlight of this Niagara Falls home is definitely the outdoor spaces. The backyard has a little bit of everything. There’s a covered sitting area complete with mosquito netting next to a rock garden with verdant tufts of green pushing through, and a magnificent raised deck. Upon this deck sits the pool, hot tub, and Finnish-style barrel sauna. The home has three bedrooms and two fold-out sofas.

    We enjoyed the property very much. We easily walked to all attractions and restaurants (~30 min to falls). The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. House was tidy and beds were comfortable.
    Extremely clean with an AMAZING backyard. Walking distance to the main strip and the falls, perfect for our girls weekend. Highly recommend!
    Look no further, this is the place you want to stay!! Everything about the experience was perfect. The host is so organized, responsive,helpful,generous and kind! Our office spent a team building weekend here and it was incredible!We enjoyed the quick walk to Clifton Hill and some great restaurants near by. I will forsure recommend this place to everyone, and will be back again myself. The extra touches like complimentary coffee,popcorn and a Polaroid camera were appreciated as well.
    Everything was absolutely perfect I highly recommend Jered as a host and his property!

    House On Two Lakeside Acres$661.91/nightly avg

    Another great option for those who want to see the falls but stay outside the city, this historic home on Lake Erie promises fun for everyone. With 200 feet of private beach, there’s always something to do. Who doesn’t like to sit by the sand or get a roaring bonfire going? The home has a heated pool and comes with plenty of beach toys as well as bikes. A mix of the modern and things which were modern 100 years ago, the home is filled with magnificent furniture. The formal dining room seats up to 14 people. The screened-in porch is almost as comfortable as the plush living room. Niagara Falls (the city and the Falls) is about 20 minutes away by car.

    Family of eight spent ten days at this property and wished we booked longer. Tom and Carrie greeted us upon arrival and provided a lay of the land. The area is steeped in history which was fascinating to hear. Enjoyed the heated swimming pool, the private beach, the historic house and the endless lawn. Location is extremely private which is exactly what we were looking for. James, charged with maintaining the pool, was courteous and a delight to speak with each day. Highly recommend.
    Everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the warm pool, the spacious lawn, to sitting at the breath-taking sandy beach, to playing games in the enclosed screen porch. The house has everything needed for a relaxing time away from home.
    Great home, pool was amazing, plenty of beach toys, bathtub water warm crescent beach. It doesn’t get better than this stay.Home has been completely updated including AC and amenities to make entertaining efficient.
    Perfect
    House, pool and beach were amazing. Tom and Carrie were great hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    The Maple Leaf House$132.38/nightly avg

    A typical suburban home, The Maple Leaf House is a comfortable rental property within walking distance of the Falls and all of Niagara’s other attractions. It’s in a quiet neighborhood north of downtown and right on the Niagara River. The home is located very close to a bus stop which gets passengers where they need to go. Beyond that, it is a home like many others, with a living room, small deck with a grill, and a full kitchen. The bedrooms consist of a king, queen, and a smaller room with a twin. There’s also a sofa bed with room for one more.

    This property was very clean which was my 1st priority during Covid-19. Neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. I would give it a 5 star if the stairs wouldn’t make noise. I would suggest owner to fix the stairs before it gets broken!
    Great communication by owner. Very friendly and kind. Very impressed by cleanliness of home. Great location, would stay again. Highly recommended. 🙂
    The steps was squeaky and loud No tv in the bed rooms
    As a family with seven children this was our first experience renting a house instead of a motel. It did not compare! Rather having everything far and wide it was all here! No elevators. No long hallways! Quietness! Privacy! This is the best way to travel compared to the institutional feel of a Hotel/Motel stay. Very simple. Saved time!! Five Star Experience!!
    My best friend from NY and my family (MI) decided to meet halfway at Niagara Falls to get together. This house was lovely, private, and perfect to bring my young family on vacation. We had the ability to have a home base while checking out the falls, but also the flexibility to stay in and cook to save some money eating out.
