  Had a fantastic time staying at Niagara on the lake , we stayed in Marrakech Mansion a fantastic property within close proximity of the main street and the water. House had everything we required . Would highly recommend this property . Broadband and Free calls was a bonus and very handy for a overseas visitor . Thanks for your hospitality .

  This is the second year our family has celebrated Christmas-in-January at Marrakech Mansion. It is a wonderful place for a family gathering offering the ambiance of a bed-and-breakfast with a kitchen equipped well enough to meet the needs of the serious gourmet cooks in our group (plus a gas grill available all year for the b-b-q lovers among us). Owner is responsive and accommodating and location just a few blocks from both the river and downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake couldn't be more perfect. We hope to be back next year.

  Owner response: Thank you very much. I am in the Vacation Rental business to give people a great place to stay and me too on occasion. This week was one of those occasions, I have been working on my two houses (Casablanca Cottage as well) this week. I have been painting and rearranging. New furniture and a flat screen TV for the "Lake-view Suite" at the Mansion, and one for the Casablanca too. Last night I removed wallpaper until 12:30 am, today I was painting. Tomorrow i will go home for a rest. Thank you again for your kind words and I do hope to see you again next January.

  Slice of heaven! Everything you need is here! Need to get away? This is the perfect spot. Comfy, clean and big enough for the whole family. Walking distance to EVERYTHING! We rented bikes for the weekend. Nice way to see the local wineries! Patio is fabulous with grill and beautiful yard. Kitchen has everything you need. It's better than being at home! Innkeeper is fabulous, accomodating and has thought of everything! The house is rich with history, inviting and warm. The Marrakech is beautifully furnished and well taken care of, makes you feel like royalty! This is the only place we will ever stay when visiting Niagara on the Lake.

  Owner response: Thank you for choosing to return to Marrakech Mansion. I think this is the fourth year in a row that you have stayed in the mansion at least once. Thank you for your continuing vote of confidence.

  Absolutely wonderful! Our stay could not have been more comfortable or enjoyable. The owner maintains this lovely rental flawlessly. The location suited us perfectly.....walkable to all three theaters and many restaurants. We would recommend this property without hesitation and look forward to staying here again.

  Owner response: Thank you for your very positive review. It is my goal to maintain my properties to the very highest standard. I stay in them as well and will always keep them up to a standard that I would expect when renting. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your vacation and am happy to hear you will consider staying in one of my houses again.

  We had a group of ladies to accommodate in Niagara on the Lake for a weekend reunion of university friends. The Marrakech Mansion was the perfect place for such an event. The sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly. All were comfortable and had a great place to sleep. With three bathrooms there was no waiting for the "loo"-very important when we were all trying to get ready for the theatre, dinner out etc. at the same time. The house has such an amazing history and we enjoyed reading about how it came to be a vacation property. We felt the charm of the place as soon as we walked in the door. The common areas were roomy and well furnished. We spent lots of time visiting in the cozy living room. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into the establishment of this guest house. All amenities were appreciated. The place was spotless and fresh. Our host was gracious and helpful - replying to e mails quickly and with necessary details. All listing information was accurate. I would highly recommend this vacation property. As a matter of fact, this is the second time I have stayed there. I look forward to returning in the future. Nearby shopping, wineries, theatre and restaurants as well as historical sites were all appreciated.

  This is a wonderful place for a family or group of friends to spend a week or a weekend. The house is bright, cheerful and well maintained. It is tastefully decorated and comfortable to be in. The kitchen is amazingly well stocked for those wanting to cook either simple breakfasts or gourmet meals. Large dining room table allows space for everyone to be seated together at meal time. Couches and chairs provide comfy places to curl up with a good book or sit and listen to music or talk to friends. Parking is more than adequate and location is ideal. Grocery and liquor stores are both within walking distance as is "downtown" Niagara on the Lake. Yard was beautiful even under a layer of snow and ice. Owner is available by phone and very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend Marrakech Mansion

  This house was almost perfect for the 9 friends from Canada and abroad to meet for a few days around a wedding at NOTL. The grounds were marvellous - beautifully designed and tended with pergolas for large group breakfasts and barbecue dinners, and tables and chairs in other areas of sun or shade as well. The interior kitchen, dining and living rooms were sufficiently spacious and well equipped to allow us all to live in harmony for 5 days. The bedrooms were all right but three had to share a bathroom. A superb feature was the quietness of the street combined with access to the lake at the end of the block and the buzz of beautiful Queen Street only 1 and 1/2 blocks away in the other direction. What a location!

  This is the second year we stayed at Marrakech Mansion so we could attend all the Shaw Festival shows. We've been coming to Niagara-on-the-Lake and staying in rental cottages or houses for the last 13 years and Marrakech is the nicest one we've stayed in. We are a family of six adults (including a son in law) and we also hosted a nephew and his family of five (only four of whom stayed with us, with the other staying a block away at the Blue Lion with her grandmother). The rooms are comfortable, with basic furnishings. The 'master bedroom' has an ensuite bathroom with a very small shower. The queen bed is close to the wall on one side and there is no night table or reading light on that side of the bed. There is one large hall bathroom and a powder room off the kitchen on the first floor. The kitchen is large, with a round table seating 5 or 6 for casual eating, and there is a large table in the dining room seating 8. The kitchen is well furnished and there is a new propane grill outside. My 29 year old son enlisted his 8, 10 and 13 year old cousins to help prepare a feast for the 15 of us, baking bread and a strawberry, cherry and rhubarb crumble (with fresh rhubarb from the garden), preparing a seafood risotto, and spaghetti served with a pesto prepared by the kids' mother. I did the grilling (trout, steak, and sausage) and we set up outside on the delightful patio. The location is ideal - a block from Queen Street, a couple of blocks from the golf course and Lake Ontario, easy walking to all three Shaw theaters - so everything is walking distance. We bicycle every morning and can go from the house to a very quiet street that takes us to the bike path that runs along the Niagara River. It's a beautiful ride. My only qualm about this house is that the air conditioning is supplied by one very powerful window unit in the second floor hall window. When we stayed last year it was uniformly warmer - we were lucky this year that evening temperatures were in the 60's (Fahrenheit). There are fans in each bedroom and they can be used to blow the cool air into the bedrooms but this is not as comfortable (and a lot noisier) than central air. On very hot days, the first floor can get warm, and if its humid it gets uncomfortable.

  Owner response: I can now speak with authority after spending the hottest week in several years in Marrakech Mansion during July 2011. The temperature peaked on Thursday at 37C or 99 degrees Fahrenheit Monday to Friday saw heat over 32 C degrees every day. We kept the blinds closed, and the central AC on, the upstairs window unit off most of the time. The temperature on the main floor stayed at about 25 degrees Celsius. With the window unit on it cooled down upstairs. It felt like a refrigerator when you walked inside and a furnace when you walked out. Certainly not as cool as a modern home would be but this one was built in 1880 and has no insulation in the walls and single pane windows with screens for cooler days. I was happy with the AC it sure felt good to get inside, but you need to follow the rules. Windows closed, blinds down and AC on all the time!

  My husband and I have vacationed in NOTL 10 times in 25 years. This year we celebrated our 60th birthday and stayed at Marrakech Mansion. It was our best trip ever--and mainly because of our stay at this lovely property. The interior and exterior Moroccan theme was carried thru beautifully. It was better than described, inside and out. The three separate outdoor venues were enjoyed by all. The location was perfect--near lake, town, theater, etc. Definitely recommend this for a vacation treat.

  We first came to the Mansion during the summer of 2009 and happily returned again in 2010. The grounds and the house are beautifully designed and maintained, providing an atmosphere of comfort, relaxation, and character. The neighborhood is close to the water, shopping, and theater. In short, everything is perfect, and Don is an excellent host. After decades of coming to NOTL and staying at various places around town, my family has finally found a home!
