Charming cottage in perfect location

Brought our senior mum for a stay in this charming Niagara On The Lake cottage. Perfect location close to boutique shopping, grocery store and park. Kitchen was well equipped and beds comfortable. Enjoyed the backyard garden and fire table. Communication with host was great. Would stay here again.

Fantastic location!

Fantastic location in what seems to be a well-loved family home. Quirky touches, like frog images around the kitchen, make the Lily Pad memorable. The hosts had some great hospitable touches, like coupons to a winery that we really enjoyed visiting!

Cozy 1930s cottage with great location

Easy walking distance from Queen St dining and shopping, or to park on the Niagara river. Far enough from Queen St to not be bothered by crowds. Host was kind to leave a yoga mat for my wife to use while we were there.

Lovely little house in a perfect location!!

We loved our stay here at the Lily Pad! Was a great location, walking distance to the main strip and to the lake front. Stunning community and houses to view when you go for a stroll in the morning before all the crowds. Would stay here again next time we plan to visit NOTL.

Perfect Location!

My husband and 2 sons stayed at The Lily Pad for 2 nights. We loved the location! It was less than 2 blocks from Queen Street and less than 1 block to the lake. The house was very quaint and homey. Great detail was put into the decorations and amenities. We really appreciated the wine gift and coupons. My only complaint would be the beds. My sons slept in the larger room since there were two beds. My husband and I slept in the smaller room which had a full size bed. The mattress was not very comfortable.

Cute location in NOTL

This house was perfect for our girls trip to NOTL. There was plenty of parking for our three cars where we parked and were able to walk everywhere to the water, get food, drinks, and go shopping! We will definitely consider returning for our next trip back here.

50th Birthday Celebration

Such a nice place to stay so close to the heart of NOTL. A group of close friends were able to enjoy time together hanging out in the house in the afternoon and then exploring the town at night. Loves the golf course restaurant on Front street. Complimentary wine and coffee was an added bonus. Doesn't get much better!

Great location and porch!

Positives: The house was very cute and clean. It was in a great location. Sitting on the front porch watching the world go by is wonderful. Negatives: As other reviews stated, the bathroom is tiny. My 6’3” husband had difficulty navigating. To get to the bathroom you have to cross the living room and go through the kitchen. Not ideal. The shower and outside of the house need attention.
