Really good camping experience with serene surroundings. The cute little bunkie can accommodate 2 people and maybe a tent outside if there is more than 2 people. Overall a nice stay.

Little Houseboat
Amazing stay! The house boat is very private assuming you’re ok was the occasional ski boat passing by. Amazing place for a pooch that loves the water. Well priced. Hope to return!

We stayed the 9th-12th! And I must say it was a wonderful time we live in the falls and wanted to go somewhere close but felt like we were far , stayed in the bunkie and it was honestly everything we needed. The fenced in gazebo was a huge bonus met the host she was a charm and even got to see her waterski ! The paddleboard was a fun time and the gentleman using his boat was very respectful and willing to share the pond while we used it ! Everything was clean and accessible , I ended up forgetting my fannypack with my id and wallet in it and Theresa and her husband were more then happy to help me find it and get it back safely to me which I am forever grateful , will definitely be back

This was our second stay at T’s Pond and again a very peaceful spot at the little houseboat. If you are looking for a very private getaway this would be the place!!!
Can’t wait to book our next visit!!

My partner and I have a trailer at a water ski resort so we didn’t mind the water skiing, it was entertaining to watch. We stayed at the little house boat, the very last one on the property which was VERY private!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Theresa is a great host and very responsive and was very quick to address any concerns we had. We brought our memory foam mattress topper after reading some reviews that the pull out sofa was uncomfortable. We also brought tarps just as you would if you went camping and we were glad we did!! It rained on Friday night so we put a tarp up in the gazebo and over our fire so we could still enjoy the out doors. Swimming was great, however the dock had seen better days, but that didn’t stop us and we really didn’t mind. We were in and out of the water quite often as were both our dogs. The waves that the water skiers provided was great entertainment for our 2 yr old pup that loves to chase the waves!!!
I would recommend bringing cookware if you plan on cooking over the fire. There is a bbq on site and also 2 burners inside for cooking. It is also air conditioned which is a huge bonus!!
The spot is amazing with a beautiful view!! We will definitely be coming back!!

Great little getaway! The water skiing was busy on the weekend but much quieter on weekdays. The bunkie had everything you needed (cutlery, fridge, hot plate, AC!!!)The bathroom was a bit of a trek from the site though. They also have a trampoline and little park on site free to use. Super close to town which was nice (groceries, Tims, shoppers). Overall, had a blast!

For the price, you cannot beat it so close to Niagara Falls, beautiful pond and entertaining to watch the water skiers. For those who complained.. This Bunkie is not pristine and perfect and clean true and there are bugs. But that is part of having a Bunkie that is not a finished cabin that seals the outdoors. It is meant to be a step up from a tent.
In the evenings, the Bunkie Becomes fairly private. As this is personally owned land, be advised that children may pass by the area frequently so judge your activities accordingly.
The host was very friendly and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and will be definitely back again.
If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to have a washroom or a port-a potty closer to that side of the pond.
Thank you

The porta potty is too dirty to use & the location is far & scary to walk outside at night coz it’s too dark. You can not swim or use the lake if someone else is skiing. The pull out bed is dirty. There’s a utensil but seems dirty to use especially with no sink & potable water nearby. No door locks.

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
A great little get away at T's pond. We went during the week and it was nice and quiet...just a few skiers around dinnertime which provided some nice entertainment! We were thankful for the air conditioner in the bunkie as it was 30+ degrees outside. We loved the fire pit and we were fortunate enough to enjoy a clear starry sky after the sun set. We brought a small tent to accommodate one of our kids and there was plenty of space to set up. The screened gazebo was a nice way to escape the brief period of rain that blew through. The bunkie is rustic but it was equipped with the basic dishes and cookware we needed for the 4 of us. If staying in the future I would bring some eco friendly dish soap and maybe some paper towels/extra dish cloths. The port-a-potty was a bit of a walk...I'd make sure you bring a flashlight if you are going to be using it throughout the night.
We all enjoyed a swim and our dog had a blast!

It was a little hard to find but once we did it was quite the hidden gem! It was absolutely perfect for two people! Dock was beautiful to spend the evening and morning on. We also made hotdogs, had such an amazing time here. Would definitely come back again!

The whole point of choosing that place was to use the lake for canoeing. When we arrived, people were water skiing, making it impossible for us to canoe. They said we could use it later, but despite the schedule showing skiing until 8 PM, they kept going until 9 PM.
The next morning, as we were about to go in, the host said we couldn't use the canoe and should wait because she wanted to ski!!
She told us we had to wait for 15 minutes, but even after waiting an hour, they continued skiing, so we packed our things and left.
The sanitary conditions were horrible; the couches in the pavilion and inside the cabin were so dirty that we had to put covers on them to sit. The refrigerator was extremely disgusting, there was long human hair inside it.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the houseboat and enjoying the views from that spot. It was a fantastic stay, and I especially appreciated the privacy. Since it's the last houseboat in this location, there was no one passing by, so my mom, and I had complete privacy and peace.
The water in the lake is very clean. While it's not entirely clear, it's definitely very clean and has a soft feel to it. We went swimming early in the morning and late in the evening. With the beautiful views around, it was an amazing experience!
The host is nice and responsive, and the spot is so private that you can't hear anything from other people. My mom wants to come back, so we definitely will!

The cabin is tiny, which is really cozy. Enough place to sleep an cook. What else you need for a relaxed and careless stay? Ah yes, a table in the gazebo is a perfect complement to it. Fireplace, BBQ all the attributes of the camping and the lake completing the harmony. Some like it hot, but this one is just perfect for swimming (and fishing, but it is not our profile:)

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
First thing I’d like to say is the owners seem lovely. The property has potential. The cabin is cute and has air conditioning. Also there is a dock in front of the cabin with a Canoe and a play set not too far but far enough I couldn’t let my kids go by themselves.
Down side was the out house. It was far and seen better days. The sofa bed was a bit dirty. Looked like maybe a wet dog was on it before and it’s stained.
Every time we put something on the kitchen counter ants would surround it. There was also mice droppings. Not the owners fault, but made the kids and myself a little uneasy.
Our favourite spot was the dock in the listing pictures with the patio furniture and swings by the water. Unfortunately an hour in a large group of water skiers came and we had to leave that area. Knowing we couldn’t use that, the water or the canoe until they left and my kids didn’t feel comfortable sleeping there at night (or using the out house) we left after only a couple hours. My kids were so excited for a quiet mommy and daughter get away.
We purposely went mid week after reading in the reviews that it would be quieter. I guess it’s hit or miss.
It just wasn’t meant to be for us.

This was a beautiful plot of land with a lake just 20-30 mins from Niagara Falls. There are several houseboats along the water—we stayed in the smallest one. It came with basic cooking utensils/pots/pans, and a gas stove! There was also pullout sofa (BYO bedding). The sofabed had definitely seen better days, but we were able to sleep comfortably, and if you don’t like sofa beds, there’s plenty of room outside the houseboat to pitch a tent. You also get a fire pit and a screened picnic table for meals. There is a port-a-potty with soap and toilet paper nearby as well. Teresa was a great communicator and answered all our questions within minutes. Excellent job!

We had a great time. Nice and quiet. Easy process. No disruption. Was a nice retreat after a long week. Only downside was the porta potty. Should consider putting a washroom with a flush toilet. my daughter was very timid about using the porta potty. But overall we enjoyed! The host was also fine with us staying later then check out as long as nobody else booked. Thanks again!!

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
The scenery was beautiful, almost felt like I was somewhere tropical at the Cabin with the Cabana there! It is better to go during the week when the water ski members are not there, to be honest. Great family spot, the fishing was so fun and the beach was perfect for little ones. The bathroom is a wee bit of a trek though. Nevertheless, I would go again!

I absolutely loved the little houseboat, absolutely gorgeous location and lovely hosts. The water was clear and beautiful, watching the water-skiing was just a bonus. Would 100% book again and highly recommend.

We enjoyed the limited fishing we were able to do. It was a nice sized water feature for a small boat, but as soon as the water skiing started for the day we had to stop due to the waves. The inside was extremely simplistic, and not freshly cleaned. This would have been fine, but the futon-type of bed provided didn’t seem clean either. We ended up staying at a hotel by Niagara and just spent the day at the houseboat. I would recommend bringing an air mattress for peace of mind. I understand that many people may be fine leaves doors unlocked, but a lock would be a great option. The view was nice as well as the gazebo. Knowing we were not local, it would have been nice to know that the road leading to the entrance given in Google Maps is under construction with no detour given. We had SOS service only, and had to walk up to a policeman parked in a lot to ask for directions at 11pm. I understood that it was carry in, carry out, but I thought some sort of trash bin would be available at the exit. We are from many hours away and were told by a man as we were leaving to take it home with us. Overall it was a nice spot for one person, two max, to enjoy the water, but not in a relaxing way. It was not our cup of tea, but I do think it would be enjoyable for the right person.

My boyfriend and our 2 dogs stayed in this little cabin on the lake for 2 nights. We brought our canoe with us and spent most of our days and evenings out fishing. There are plenty of large mouth bass which makes it a great spot if that’s what you’re fishing for! The only downside is that the speed boats and jet skiing dominates most of the lake, so you mostly have to stay on the outer edges of the lake. It also has great doc fishing spots too. The cabin itself is small and cute. There are some things that could be improved but we spent 90% of our time in the water so it worked well for us! Just bring a fan because it can get hot! The outside eating area is great and the view is lovely. This cabin is at the far end of the lake, making it more private which was great for our 2 dogs to run around and play. Overall, for a fishing weekend, this did the trick and I would recommend if you’re looking for a camping getaway.

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
We stayed over while we were in the area for rowing. My very tall kids slept in the bunkie and my husband and I set up a small tent. It was great, the ground was perfect for tenting. The bunkie is small, but assuming if you are staying here it is for sleeping and kitchen only! Lovely views and excellent place to crash and have a campfire.
