  Lakeview Bed & Breakfast

        Built in 1879 our home is one of Niagara's "Chautauqua" homes.  Although the Chautauqua Society ceased operation in 1900, Lakeview continued as a summer residence until 1956.  First called the Swiss Chalet guests were welcomed for afternoon tea and lunches. Rooms were also available for the weary traveler.

        The year marks the sixtieth year that our family has owned Lakeview.  Jim and I purchased it from his parents in 1984 and have welcomed Bed and Breakfast guests since the summer of 1987.  This is our twenty-second anniversary in the Bed and Breakfast business.

        Eating a full breakfast is the only way to begin each day.  Breakfast is served in the our sunroom overlooking Lake Ontario.  Your meal includes fruit in season, coffee, tea, juice, homemade bread, Niagara jams and jellies, and entree.  After dining, you can retrieve your bicycles for a short ride into town, or just stroll along the boulevard, past the golf course. 

        The way to see Niagara-on-the-Lake is at a leisurely and thoughtful pace.  Return to your youth in Niagara-on-the-Lake.  Let our home be your central holiday location for winery tours, golf, cycling, dining and of course the Shaw Festival.  There are so many things to do in Niagara-on-the-Lake.  Taste a new wine at one of our many award winning wineries.  Visit Canada's first historic museum and Fort George.  Our activities page will give you the links to many of Niagara's best attractions.  If you need reservations, we can make them for you.  Just let us know.

        If you need to check your email or find time to work we offer a secure wifi link in every room.

        Sunsets are spectacular when viewed from the verandah or in our Adorondack chairs on the front lawn.  Some of our guests say that Niagara sunsets over Lake Ontario are "better than those in Key West." 

        We look forward to welcoming you to Niagara-on-the-Lake.  We want to make your visit special.  We hope you will let us make your trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake a holiday to remember.
