Fun property with so much to do! Amy is a wonderful host and was always making sure we had what we needed. The pond would be fun in the summer!!

Lovely people, refreshingly quiet! A lot within a couple hours of this place, or you can just hang out and enjoy the peace. Got a lot of rest I needed, plus the opportunity to see Niagara Falls for the first time in my life, as well as found a few gems of breweries/restaurants/coffee shops I otherwise would have glossed over if I had just stayed at Niagara. Owners do have quite the collection of miscellaneous items around the property. Didn’t bother me, but if you’ve only stayed at manicured campsites and/or are someone who does not like clutter, this location might not be for you…

Amy is a very pleasant host and she tries to accommodate her guests. There was rain the night before and she allowed us to pick out a spot that wasn’t wet and even got us a fire pit to use! They had a dj the night before and laser tags as well!

Amazing Experience

Amy is the kindest host you could ever imagine. The place at the lake is so nice as well as the people there. We had a happy time together, wonderful talks and the best Maple Sirup ever… a must try… from scratch of course!!! There’s really nothing to worry about, you won’t regret to choose the Stone Shanty for a stay, promise!
