Magical Stay!

What a unique and unforgettable place to stay! From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the peaceful surroundings and the adorable animals. Feeding and petting the baby goats, alpacas, and even being followed around by the friendly turkeys made our time downtown truly special.The host, Dawn, was absolutely amazing—so kind, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. When we asked to meet the animals, she went above and beyond to give us a personal tour. Her warmth really made the experience that much better.The cottage itself was beautiful—spacious, cozy, and surrounded by greenery. The sauna was a great bonus and very easy to use, adding a touch of relaxation to our weekend.We also loved how close it was to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, both quick and scenic drives through stunning farmland and vineyards. We even took a bike ride along the farm roads and were blown away by how gorgeous the area is.Highly recommend this property if you're looking for something peaceful, fun, and a little magical!

A quaint little hideaway in the woods

Our stay at the Hoblet was very relaxing and allowed us to get away from the city and busyness of the world. The fireplace, sauna and overall decor made us feel very welcomed and encouraged us to relax and take time away from the internet and our devices in general. Spending time with the animals on site was one of our favourite parts!

The outside of this property is not how it's shown as it looks neglected and in need of some TLC

Living room was best part of the place although we did see two mice and also mouse droppings in the cupboards and also the outside swings were in bad state due to dirt and mold we could not use one of the swings as it was so dirty the patio roof leaks and the whole roof of the house is covered in in thick weeds that also cover the 3 skylights so no light from them, also no wifi available , the whole place has a dilapidated look about it on the outside it's not as in the photos

Travelled with partner
The property is enchanting and quiet. Not handicapped accessible, a four inch step up to get into entrance into property and a 6 inch step up for the shower. The bedroom is pleasantly exotic but bed we found difficult to get out of, as we both are physically challenged. The walk back to the Hoblet was inviting and the animals were welcoming. The animals are extremely well provided for and it says a lot about the caregivers. The Hoblet is located in a deep forest and a mouse in the house is to be expected, I guess. As for the positives, it is quiet and safe and we watched deer passing thru the forest. It is a magical place, a place for meditation and being "one" with nature for the able bodied. Located minutes away from attractions and the falls (beyond incredible). If you are able, this place is the place for peaceful rest.

The Hoblet

My wife and I stayed at the “Hoblet” and could not have been happier. Dawn, our host, was very responsive to all queries and made sure that our entire stay was stress free and enjoyable. The property was well maintained and very clean when we arrived. Check-in was hassle free and easy. We enjoyed interacting with and feeding the animals throughout the week that we were there. Would absolutely recommend this property over any boring hotel stay any day of the week.

A lovely place for animal lovers

We stayed here for a weekend and were blown away by how many lovely rescued animals were there for us to interact with and feed. The owner was easy to get in touch with and very accomodating. We can't recommend this place more@

We arrived on a Friday and stayed until Sunday. Was very cute and quaint, all the animals around made me feel very much at home and I loved talking to them and petting each one of them. The Hoblet where we stayed was clean and comfortable, quiet, and private which was nice. Thank you!

Birthday getaway

We had planned a long weekend getaway to Niagra and Toronto. The location of Dawns cabin was perfect. The cabin was well equipped, in a serene setting that was actually like a storybook. Animals greeted us in our lighted walkway to our cabin. Baby goats, alpacas, long necked geese, burro, sheep, ponies, ducks. Our stay was perfect. The cabin was comfortable, clean, has fairy lights, romantic CDs, a sauna in side the bathroom (which I used each night) alittle pond leading up to our outside porch. Just delightful!

Peaceful sanctuary

The Hoblet is a quaint cottage in a peaceful setting as advertised. My host was at a disadvantage due to a medical issue that resulted in the cottage not being prepared as well as she would have liked. With that said, I was very comfortable there and had the experience I was hoping for. I was able to rest and recharge while enjoying a beautiful natural setting and the company of some of the sanctuary residents. The cottage was well appointed with all promised amenities. It's a great place to disconnect and relax!

Wonderful stay

This is the cutest wee animal sanctuary. Place was clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was immediate and excellent. It is a bit rustic, but for me, i was very happy. Highly recommend and if we come back to the area definitely staying here. Close to everything. Niagra falls, niagra on the lake, Weiland locks, tulip farm all within 20- 30 min.

Friendly Home Away from Home

We stayed at the Hoblet as a home base for some quiet, relaxing time away - a nice, humble home. The animals were a bonus - especially Norman who greeted us each time as we walked backed to the cabin.

Beautiful Escape into Nature

The cottage was cozy and clean. The pond out back was really pretty and the animals were very cute and friendly. The kitchen was good and the whole aesthetic fit perfectly. This was one of the most peaceful vacations my girlfriend and I have had. If you are looking to escape into nature, this is one of the best places to go, short of simply putting up a tent on Mount Washington.

Fantastic Experience

We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The Hoblet stayed nice and cool despite high temps and high humidity during our stay there. It was the perfect quiet getaway while we explored the area and visited family. Dawn was very responsive and helpful, and we loved being able to feed the various goats and alpacas by hand. (Wanda the cat was also a wonderful part of our stay.) Definitely not an experience we'll forget any time soon!

Glamping

This is the perfect place to stay if you don't mind a bit of bother and are looking for an experience. The cottage has a few "don't" messages for my liking but for the right glamper, it is on point. The animals were the highlight for us. So friendly and pet-worthy. Each morning and night the goats, ducks, horses, ponies, donkies, alpacas and such would greeted us - asking for a pet. So sweet!

Relaxing Getaway

We booked a three night stay that felt like we were away for one week. It was very relaxing to be surrounded by nature and many new outside friends :) The Hoblet offered us an opportunity to disengage from the busyness of life while providing all of the amenities necessary to feel right at home. We hope to book another visit.
