A Li’l Bit of Eden

Property Description

• General Description

  Located in a quiet rural residential neighborhood in the heart of Niagara's wine country, A Li'l Bit of Eden Bed and Breakfast, offers a taste of Niagara in every way.
  
  From this central location, our guests are a short drive from hundreds of area attractions. Within walking distance is Hillebrand Estate Winery and Restaurant, the Pie Plate Bakery and several antique shops. It is only minutes to the Virgil bike path and an easy 5km on country roads to the Niagara River recreational trail or the Welland Canal Seaway Trail. Within a 25 minute radius by car, you can experience local cottage wineries, historic Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake, the impressive Welland Canal and Niagara Falls with all the attractions it has to offer. Your hosts, Rudy & Brenda Kuijer will be happy to assist with your itinerary planning.
  
  Be sure to leave time to enjoy all that our property has to offer – Curl up with a book by one of our ponds or gardens. In the Common Room, catch some TV. Exercise your competitive side with a board game or at the pool table. Enjoy the pool and hot tub (the outdoor hot tub is open all year). Wander out to our back garden and pick something for Brenda to prepare for your breakfast. Last year we grew a sampling of 44 different fruits, berries, vegetables and herbs. (Forget the 100 mile diet – we’re trying for the 100 meter diet!)
  
  We (your hosts, Rudy & Brenda Kuijer) have developed the property for our own enjoyment over a period of more than 30 years. We now would be honored to share it and the entire Niagara experience with you, our guest.
