Celebrating my mum

We came for the weekend to celebrate my mum’s life. We lived in NOTL for several years, over 20 years ago, and this was a chance to return and remember my mum and spread her ashes on the parkway.

Great. Only problem was that the toilet off the kitchen plugged twice, but you had the plunger right next to the toilet and I was able to resolve the matter both times. Overall though an excellent experience.

Wonderful “weekend” away..

Our 4 couples have been doing something on a January weekend for almost 40 years. Mostly in Muskoka. Decided to change that up this year and do our “weekend” in NOTL in the middle of the week…we had a wonderful time, and the house was a perfect place for us to gather…We will be back …Thank you..

This place is exactly what the property advertises and the reviews state. Beautiful roomy home with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths. Less than 2 blocks to shopping and restaurants. We had more fun staying in than going out. The great room is unbelievable.

Governor's Walk

Great location, easy walking access to all of the beautiful Old Town of Niagara on the Lake and particularly close to the Shaw Festival Theatre. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is very nice. The Dining Room / Living Room is both spacious and at the same time very cozy. Property management was very professional and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

4 couples having fun in Niagara on the Lake

We have all been locked down and a holiday in Niagara was a grand idea beginning in early spring. We booked your lovely home and worried about Covid restrictions preventing us from coming. All went well and we enjoyed 6 days of theatre, biking, fun and the opportunity to be together. Thank you!

Great location, well equipped

The location within the historic town is unbeatable. With a group of eight women, it's almost unheard of to find a place with enough beds and bathrooms (almost one bathroom per room, four total) to suit our relaxation and "getting ready" needs. Tall showers and gorgeous outdoor spaces equipped with ample seating, dishes, etc to accommodate our large group.
