Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community. Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie. Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

Welcome to Fitz Farm Manor — a peaceful countryside retreat built with love and care. After Gerry and his dad sold their garden centre and nursery, we built this home and raised our four boys here (they like to joke they were our first Airbnb guests — the non-paying kind!). Now retired, Gerry from lawn care and Rosemary from managing a seniors’ complex, we spend our days gardening, harvesting vegetables, and preserving the bounty of our land. We love hosting friends and family, and you might meet a few during your stay. Our property is nestled in a quiet rural area where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle into the gentle chorus of crickets and tree frogs. A walk down our peaceful road takes you past dairy farms and fields of corn, soybeans, and hay — often without passing a single car. The grounds are designed for gathering and relaxation. Each summer, we host family reunions and church picnics with up to 75 guests enjoying the heated pool, hammocks, patio, and spacious lawn. Campers have access to a large grassy area bordered by maples, oaks, and a wooded stretch to the west — perfect for pitching tents or parking campers. Amenities include: - Heated swimming pool with pool toys - Washroom with hot/cold water and shower (just inside the patio doors) - Outdoor sink with potable water - Tables, chairs, picnic tables, and a barbecue - Children’s slide and a hammock structure that holds up to 8 hammocks Whether you're here for a relaxing getaway or a work assignment, we hope you’ll feel the warmth and welcome of Fitz Farm Manor. Come unwind, explore, and make yourself at home. --- Let me know if you'd like a shorter version for social media or a punchier headline to go with it!

We had an amazing stay at the cozy cabin! The beach was just 5 minutes away, making it perfectly convenient for watching sunrise and sunsets. Traveling with our 14-month-old, we felt completely safe and comfortable and the space was very baby-friendly. Gisele and Vik were thoughtful and welcoming hosts, making sure we had everything we needed. We made so many wonderful memories as a family and would love to come back again!

Weekend Trip to Cabin close to Lake Erie and trails
We had an amazing stay! The property was spotless, private, and beautifully maintained. We loved the thoughtful touches throughout the cabin—it truly had everything we needed. The outdoor sitting areas were so cozy, and we had a blast playing badminton. The short walk to a lovely beach was the cherry on top. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure every detail was perfect. Highly recommend!

Gisele and Vic were wonderful hosts. The cabin was cute, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beach, just a two-minute walk away, was absolutely beautiful. The kayaks are fun and the perfect way to get out on the water. The firewood bundle was amazing—packed with plenty of wood, kindling, and paper, making it the best value you’ll find. The area is peaceful and quiet, yet close to lots of nearby attractions. A perfect getaway spot!

So lovely! Amber, husband and all staff were incredible, welcoming and hospitable. We loved staying right with the animals and enjoyed exploring and interacting with the animals independently as well as being invited to feed the animals apples & even bottle feed the babies (I assume we got lucky and this isn't always an offer). The living space is also wonderful. Comfortable, clean and stocked with all that you need. Would recommend this to anyone and stay again anytime!

2 nights at T's Pond
Pro: - nice host - electricity as well as full fridge. - Porta potty was a flush type so the smell was minimal - watch water skiing from front of cabin and there is nice shade there in the evening - there is a full screen sitting area with lawn furniture. great for keeping bugs off. - Fairly quiet site as long as water ski was not taking place - you can drive up to the Cabin - The pond is very close to main road to go into town. About 20min away from costo and bass pro shop. Con: -Fridge doors opened towards the wall making fridge access extremely limited - Cabin is tiny. when the couch is pulled out into a bed there is maybe 4 spots you can stand. - Cabin is "roughing it" I would have brought a cleaner and wipes to give it a quick wipe down before use. - No walking trails on property - Porta potty is a little ways away so be prepared to walk if you need the bathroom. - There is no latch on the Cabin door. either you lock it from the inside or the outside. it makes it hard if one person wants to nap in the afternoon.

Gisele and Vic were lovely hosts! Gisele gave us a warm welcome and let us know about all the fun things to do when we arrived. Vic very kindly started a fire for us in the evening while we were away. The cabin itself is also gorgeous. There's a bunch of fun things to do on and around the property.

We were provided a nice location to set up our tent, and the views are stunning. My toddler was mesmerized by the animal on the side, which we adored. We received great assistance and were given a pail of water. Taryn's was also kind enough to let us stay longer. If you want a quiet and private camp, it was a nice experience.

The best camping in Whirlpool State Park, NY guide

Overview

About

Whirlpool State Park offers a scenic adventure like no other, with its dramatic vistas of the Niagara Whirlpool and the rapids. Visitors can enjoy hiking along the breathtaking gorge trails, picnicking with panoramic views, and fishing in the river's dynamic currents. The park's playground and picnic facilities make it a perfect family-friendly destination, while the nature history room provides an educational glimpse into the gorge's geological past.

When to go

The best time to visit Whirlpool State Park is from late spring to early fall, when the weather is warm and the park's facilities, including the gorge natural history room, are open. Winter offers a stark, frozen beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access to amenities.

Know before you go

  • Check trail updates before your visit, as some trails may be closed due to maintenance or weather conditions.
  • Remember that pets are welcome in day use areas, but they must be supervised and on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with pavilions and shelter rentals available for all visitors.
  • For a seamless experience, download the park's digital trail map to your device before arriving.
  • Stay safe by observing all wildlife from a distance and never attempt to enter the Niagara River.
