If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to birdsong, sipping wine at sunset, and falling asleep under starlit skies, this is your sign. Niagara’s Lakefront Farm House has just been named one of Vrbo’s Top Farm Charm Finds for 2026, representing Canada on Expedia Group’s Unpack ’26: The Trends in Travel™ list.
According to Vrbo’s research, 84% of travellers are interested in staying on or near a farm next year. The trend, aptly called “Farm Charm,” celebrates the rise of slow travel; think local produce, cozy firesides, and a renewed connection to nature.
For couples looking to unplug and unwind, it’s all about swapping busy city lights for wide-open skies.
slow living meets romantic luxury
Perched on ten serene acres with panoramic views of Lake Ontario, the Lakefront Farm House captures everything that makes the Farm Charm trend so irresistible. It’s rustic, but never roughing it featuring vaulted ceilings, a barrel sauna, a six-person hot tub, and a lakeside bonfire pit perfect for toasting marshmallows (or each other).
This modern farmhouse is also a working family farm, where guests can wander the orchard, sip morning coffee on the deck, or explore the surrounding trails together.
Inside, it’s all warmth and natural light with a cozy, open-concept living space, two king bedrooms, a soaker tub, and everything you need for the perfect countryside escape.
the romance of the wine country region
The property sits right in the heart of Niagara’s wine country, minutes from local favourites like Legends Estates Winery, The Good Earth Food & Wine Co., and Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers.
For a true date night itinerary, spend the day hopping between vineyards, then come back to grill dinner on the patio and stargaze by the fire pit.
Farm Charm isn’t just a trend, it’s a reminder that romance doesn’t always need a passport. It’s about finding beauty in simplicity, connection in stillness, and joy in shared moments that feel grounded and real.
So, if 2026 is the year you and your person want to slow down and savour something different, the Lakefront Farm House in Niagara is waiting. Because sometimes, the dreamiest getaway is closer, and quieter, than you think.
