Three bedrooms is the sweet spot for a family of five in Niagara.

Standard Niagara vacation rentals for a family of five run two to three bedrooms — enough to sleep six with maybe a pull-out sofa as backup. A 3-bedroom house or apartment gives everyone breathing room and avoids the “who gets the couch” argument after a long day at the falls. Most in this range hover near $200–350 a night in summer, which undercuts hotels significantly if you’re staying more than a couple of nights.
