    Don’t go chasing waterfalls — let them come to you, at a discount.

    A lucky solo traveler inspired envy among wallet-weary travelers after scoring a hotel with a full-frontal view of Niagara Falls for less than $300 a night, as detailed in a video posted to social media with over 550,000 views.

    “It was magical and everything I hoped for — I burst into tears!” Lyndsay Johnson told Jam Press of the inn-credible deal.

    The Nottingham, U.K. native, who goes by @wander_woman11 on TikTok, had reportedly treated herself to a trip to the US and Canada — including a visit to the legendary scenic site straddling the border between the two countries.

    “I stood in front of them and wished out loud that the view would be good, but nothing could have prepared me for how spectacular it was when I eventually opened the curtains,” Johnson gushed while describing the view (pictured). Jam Press View/@wander_woman11

    And after paying only $287 for her room at the fall-iday inn, Johnson didn’t expect to get much of a view.

    That was until the wanderluster opened the curtains and saw the iconic “Horseshoe Falls” — right outside her window.

    “When I arrived at the hotel it was evening and dark outside, and the curtains in my room were closed,” the flabbergasted Brit gushed.

    “I stood in front of them and wished out loud that the view would be good, but nothing could have prepared me for how spectacular it was when I eventually opened the curtains.”

    Johnson’s followers were amazed that she managed to score such a scenic vista for such a low price.

    “Now that’s a room with a view,” exclaimed one spellbound commenter.

    Another wrote, “might be the best view I’ve ever seen from a hotel.”

    “I would not be sleeping — you’d just see me at the window,” fawned a third, to which Johnson replied,” “Honestly, I just sat there for a long time!”

    The Brit didn’t disclose the name of said accommodations, but the Canadian side of the natural attraction is known for its array of towering hotels with excellent views of the thundering spectacle, including the Fallsview Marriott, the Marriott on The Falls and the Radisson Fallsview.

    A quick search conducted by The Post showed rates at the three properties in October starting between $86-$120 on a weekday — but not necessarily for rooms with the same view.

    After her sojourn at Niagara Falls, Johnson reportedly visited Toronto to complete her North America jaunt.

    The Brit frequently documents her solo vacations online in the hopes that others will follow suit.

    “When people hear I’m on holiday or traveling by myself, they usually tell me I’m brave, and then after a pause, they tell me they wish they could do it,” Johnson said. “I want to use my platform to empower others and help them to take that trip.”

    Johnson’s experience isn’t the norm — there’s been an unfortunate trend of travelers spending oodles on rooms with what they think is a postcard view, only to discover later that it’s anything but.

    Last month, for example, a traveler in Germany was devastated after the “scenic seaside view” at her hotel turned out to be a maritime-themed poster affixed to the wall in her dingy basement quarters.
