We stayed with Carolyn and Gary (and Brandy the Dog) for three nights in November of 2012. Our room was the "Prince of Wales" suite which was very large and very comfortable (we also peeked into the Queen Anne suite as well...yes, it was unoccupied...and it was equally beautiful). The king sized bed was VERY comfortable and my wife enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. There is also a Finnish dry sauna in this room and while we didn't use it, it would be nice to have that option for those so inclined. This room also has a small veranda which we didn't use (it was about 40 degrees at the time) but would be great for summer and early fall breakfasts which they will gladly deliver to your room if so desired. We prefer to interact with the "locals" at breakfast for advice on where to go, what to see and what to avoid.

The breakfasts were great and you won't find nicer hosts that Carolyn and Gary. They were incredibly accommodating and go out of their way to make your visit all about what you want to do. Their recommendations were on the money as far as dining and sightseeing options. We found that in addition to the Falls, which were awesome by the way, we made our way to Niagara on the Lake, about a fifteen to twenty minute (and gorgeous) drive north along the river toward Lake Ontario. We did a little wine tasting and enjoyed Peller perhaps the most. We also had lunch at the Riverbend Inn which was equally beautiful, and their food was great. In the small town of Niagara on the Lake, we had a few pints at the Irish Harp Pub. The consistent theme at these wineries/bars and Park Place was the customer service and genuine hospitality.

Being as it was the beginning of the Winter Season, the area around the Falls were gearing up with the Holiday decorations, and it was gorgeous. There is one particular area of Niagara Falls which was pretty much...how should I put it..."tacky" is a fairly accurate description...any place that has a Wax Museum tends to fall into that category...that entire area was virtually shut down due to the winter season and lack of tourists. But the Falls themselves are incredible. They are also lit up at night which added an entirely different dimension to them. In addition to the "Coney Island" district as described above, the Maid of the Mist boats were also shut down for the season, much to our disappointment.

We would highly recommend a stay with Carolyn and Gary. The home is gorgeous, they keep it spotless and we found the entire experience there to be very, very comfortable. If traveling to Niagara in the future we would no doubt stay there again, perhaps the highest praise one could give to a B&B.

Stayed at this B&B last spring, and always wanted to go back. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left Gary & Carolyn were such great host. Stayed in the Queen Ann room with the attached Jacuzzi and fire place, and it was an amazing experience specially after being tired of walking all day. The breakfast was so filling that we did not require a meal all day after that. Gary did a great job giving us directions, recommendations and even gave away some coupons for wine tasting. All in in all a fantastic experience.

Just got back to Chicago after spending a excellent time with my girlfriend in the Queen Anne suite. We loved the jacuzzzi and a really comfortable king size bed.... Carolyn and Gary were very accommodating and very friendly.....Highly recommend to friends and family....Thanks again!!!

Upon a friend's recommendation my husband and I chose to stay for 2 nights at the Park Place B&B for our anniversary. From the very first meeting of our hostess Carolyn to the farewells of our host Gary, all the in between time we were treated to 5+ star treatment. The gardens and buildings have been cared for by the Burkes to maintain the historic ambiance. The graciousness and willingness to assist in every way from restaurant reservations to maps of the wineries made our stay more relaxing. We chose to stay in the Carriage House Suite....and we were not dissappointed with that choice!!!!! It is like having your own little hide away. The furnishing lend them self to the feel of an old warm cozy cottage. Myself being a person that has a hard time sleeping in a strange bed, was delighted to hit the soft pillows and not wake until morning. What a treat that was !!!!!! But to top that off was a service that is by far unheard of....the option to have your breakfast brought to your suite. With a gentle knock on the door our breakfast was delivered to us. They provide 3 time options of delivery as well as 5 main options of breakfasts to chose from. I don't think I will ever be able to recreate the stuffed french toast !!!! To laze in your PJs and have breakfast delivered to me is HEAVEN. Guests also have the option to dine in the diningroom for breakfast.

This was our first BUT not our last visit to the Park Place. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a cozy, friendly, top notch retreat.

Something that I forgot to mention was the location of the B&B. It is so close to many attractions...the Falls, the Rainbow bridge, the 2 casinos, Niagara On The Lake, and many more attractions. For the directionally challenged, such as my husband and I, we did not use our GPS once.....it was that well located and easy to find.

My husband and I look forward to a return visit to experience Carolyn and Gary's hospitality.
