A Bit About Your Hosts

Sandy and James Down have lived in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula for the past thirty-five years. They have retired to Historic Old Town Niagara on-the-Lake to operate DownHome Bed and Breakfast together.

Your Hosts James and Sandy

Sandy has worked as a Property Manager, Program Director and Arts/Crafts Director. Being an ardent cross stitcher her works are prominently displaced throughout DownHome.

James, a retired project manager, has traveled extensively throughout North America, Europe, Eastern Europe, India and the Far East. An amateur winemaker for the past twenty-five years, he has won some awards for his wines along the way.

Both Sandy and James enjoy golf in summer and can recommend the courses in the area. They enjoy skiing in the winter. Both love to cook, and discuss the wines produced in the local wineries.

Our Cat Tommy

Together Sandy and James have traveled to England, France, Italy, Poland, Russia and extensively throughout North America. They would enjoy sharing their adventures and hear about the places and events that you have seen.

Our DownHome family includes our cat Tommy as seen in the picture to the left. (Tommy lives in our private quarters but you will no doubt see him lounging around the front door or patio).

Sandy and James welcome you to DownHome and will endeavour to make your stay both a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
