Location!

This is my second time staying at The Butterfly Cottage in Niagara. The location is perfect- a block from the lake and an easy walk to Old Town. The cottage itself is clean, cozy, and well maintained. The owners just did a complete upstairs bathroom renovation, and it looks so good! We enjoyed sitting at the large dining room table, and playing games in front of the gas fireplace. The beds are very comfortable, too! We plan to make NOL an annual trip, and I will always stay at the Butterfly Cottage.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location

Loved staying at Butterfly Cottage! Walking distance to old town and 2 areas of lake access through beautiful, established neighborhood. Plenty of room for our family and dog, cute little backyard with tree swing and pond. Neighbors were very welcoming and friendly. Our son uses a manual wheelchair and after we helped him up the first 2 small steps into the home, the first floor living area and bedroom worked well for him. Bathroom isn’t truly accessible, but worked for him/us as we help him with all care, but an independent wheelchair user would likely find bathroom access challenging. Overall wonderful stay!

Great girls trip house

We loved the "cottage", it was fully stocked with supplies which we really appreciated! Very clean with lots of seating areas inside and out. Good quality linens and towels. There were 7 of us and felt there was plenty of room for us all. The only thing I would point out is the shower upstairs is a claw foot tub with a shower curtain around it. Those of us using that bathroom found it a bit of a hazard when in the shower as the curtain was long and you were stepping on it while showering as you couldn't have it outside of the tub. It was about a 25 min walk to most restaurants which as fine as we needed the walk after dinner. Would definitely recommend staying here with a group of family or friends.

Perfect for 4 ladies on a girl’s getaway Well located to NOTL shopping and Queen Street Quiet safe feeling neighbourhood Short walk to the lake and a lovely path that goes along the lake and golf course. Quiet restful back deck and sitting area. Great beds, nicely decorated, comfy sitting room, open concept made for easy meal prep without missing out on conversation in the sitting area. Well appointed kitchen with thoughtful starters supplied :) Loved the lavender soap/shampoo that was supplied as well. Great water pressure in the shower, and a wonderful claw foot tub upstairs. Just the perfect home! Would come back in a heartbeat! Thanks

The whole family loved it!

Pros: - Close proximity to Queen Street with shops and restaurants - Quiet neighborhood - 10 min walk to the entrance of the walking trail along Lake Ontario - The cottage was clean, charming, and plenty of room for all 6 of us - 1st floor bathroom had excellent water pressure Cons: - The HVAC on the 2nd floor whistled when starting up. - 1st floor bathroom: no anti-slip mat in the tub/shower and no handle inside for the elderly. - 2nd floor bathroom: No anti-slip mat but there is a handle mounted to the wall to help get in and out, however it still felt a little risky. The tub is a freestanding cast iron with a retrofitted shower. We found adjusting the water temperature to be finicky.

The house was great for 8 people and back yard was a hit with the kids. They loved the tree swing and Koy pond. Very nice location a block from the lake in a residential neighborhood. Decent walk or quick drive to shopping and restaurants. The host was very attentive and they went above and beyond in helping us retrieve an item we left behind.
