Great time in NOTL

Sweet William was the perfect place for a trip with my mother to NOTL. This cozy cottage had everything we needed. It is a short walk to town and out to view Ontario Lake. Communication with the hosts was effortless, and they ensured we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this little gem!

This house is a .5 mile walk to the main tourist district, which is good since parking is difficult. It is also near to some restaurants (including Tim Horton’s) and a small grocery store. The neighborhood is also a beautiful place to walk due to all the well maintained gardens.

Cozy Cottage - stellar location

Location was A++ and we walked to Main Street daily for the shops and stores. Cottage was cozy as advertised with everything we needed for our stay. Exterior front and back decks need some maintenance. Builder grade finishes but all in every way functional. Not a posh place but comfortable and clean in a really nice neighborhood and minutes walk from town.

The house and location was perfect for our girl's getaway. We were 2 blocks away from the bike rental shop and a very short walk to downtown. We were able to sit outside in the backyard and enjoy the evening. Check in was seamless. Bedrooms were cozy but we were there only to sleep.

About the host

Hosted by Erica

Host profile image
Niagara-on-the-Lake is a destination of choice for me. There is something so special about this town - the wineries, world class Shaw theatre, restaurants, biking trails etc. It really doesn't matter what season you visit because there is always something to do. I love the ice wine festival in January, and the Peach festival every August. Christmas is wonderful in this town with many festive events such as The Holiday House & The Christmas Carol playing at Shaw Festival.

Why they chose this property

Niagara-on-the-Lake or NOTL is a charming, picturesque and quaint town. It has world-class wineries, restaurants, shopping and theatre. This cottage captured my heart and the superb location could not be matched. Walking the tree-lined streets in summer & winter was magical.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy being able to walk everywhere. The private backyard, the tall majestic trees and the history of the home makes this place so special. Our home is built on a former Vineyard with vines still growing today. Guests have told me they " loved being so close to town" & "wonderful place for our girls' weekend" & "loved this cottage. A lovely place with a big heart."
