House in Niagara Falls

About this house rental
This property was originally known as the “Halfway House”, a tavern built in 1839. It was the only stop of the Erie and Ontario Railway, the first in Upper Canada. It was a horse drawn railroad that carried people and goods from Queenston (below the Falls) to Chippawa (above the Falls), an 11 mile journey. Halfway House was built as a tavern for travelers along the Portage Road. In 1895 the house was rebuilt, either on or using the stone foundation of the original tavern. A lovely stone barn from the original railway still exists on the property.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: this property being located on an historic crossroads has become a major entry point into Niagara. As a result, street traffic can often be very busy during the day but quiets down significantly at night.
