Our host was very responsive when we reached out. Very simple check-in and check-out process. Be prepared to get muddy if it is raining but the animals and property help you forget about that quickly. Such a great spot that I would recommend for a small family or couple.

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.

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@

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!

Lovely Animal Sanctuary

It is a lovely little place to stay with the main selling point being the animals. They are so friendly and we loved being around them! The Hoblet was clean and a little quirky which added to its charm. The host was extremely nice and easy to contact.

Great place

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
