A wonderful town for visitors to see and enjoy the best of Canada! We live nearby and love to provide personal service for our guests. Many rentals in town are owned by absentee owners who can't provide this personalized service.

Quiet & clean
Very comfortable & quiet for a family of 4 with dog.
Tremendous downtown location, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds & everything we needed.
Tony was a great host who answered all of our questions.
Home from home in Niagara on the Lake - Great Location!
We stayed here for the last week of our family trip. Wanting to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the Niagara Falls and having briefly visited NOTL in the past we found The Town Cottage ideal for our needs.
From our first contact, enquiring on availability, payment, pre arrival information and arrival, communication with Tony was excellent. It was also great to meet with him at the property during our first morning. Living locally in the area he was full of information and was able to enhance our plans during our stay.
Location was excellent! Close to Queens St for numerous cafes, restaurants, shops and lots to see and do within walking distance from the cottage. Niagara Falls just a short drive away too.
It was nice to have our own place having spent the majority of our trip in hotels. The cottage was fully equipped, Tony had thought of everything! There was even a phone available to use to make restaurant reservations etc.
Highlight of our stay was definitely the Whirlpool Jet Boat trip up the Niagara River Rapids! Just a short walk away from the cottage, well worth seeking out!
Thanks for a very enjoyable, memorable stay, we'll be back!
Great getaway in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake!
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It was our home away from home for a long weekend in the Niagara area. We also appreciated that the owner, Tony, took the time to welcome us upon arrival. The cottage was in a great location, just a short walk to the city center and easy drive to the main roadway connecting to Niagara Falls. They were also dog friendly, which allowed us to bring our furry family member. Thanks Tony for a very enjoyable stay!
Great location!
This is the second time that we've stayed at The Town Cottage. The location is great only a block from the main street and we could walk to anywhere we wanted to in Old Town. This time my wife's parents stayed with us for a couple days for Christmas and then my wife and I enjoyed a few quiet days.
We walked to Treadwell's for an excellent meal one evening and were also walking distance to the grocery store to pick up a few things.
Tony was a great host meeting us on arrival making sure we knew where everything was and then the place was ours for the week. The house is great and the fenced in yard was ideal for us to bring our little chihuahua. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends and family.
September Break
What a wonderful 4 day break. The Town Cottage is as advertised. The location is great, walking distance to restaurants, the water front and the shops. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided at the cottage. We celebrated my birthday with dinner at the Charles Inn (at Barb's recommendation) just a short walk away, an excellent meal and service. Niagara on the Lake is beautiful in September and we plan to return in the spring. Thanks again Tony and Barb
Perfect birthday vacation
3 sisters took our mom to NOTL for her 70th Birthday. We had a marvelous time and this cottage contributed highly to the overall great experience. Lots of character, great location, clean, comfy, and everything you need in a home away from home. We road bikes, ate at fabulous restaurants, toured wineries, and went to the theater all without needing a car. I have rented many houses off VRBO over the last several years, and this won wins the prize in terms of having every single little thing I happened to look for, even a teapot. Thanks Tony for helping me make my mom very happy.
Map
Niagara on the Lake just a few miles from Niagara Falls is called the prettiest small town in Canada. It is steeped in history and beautiful buildings. The Town Cottage is located in the very heart of the historic old town just one block from the main street and one block from Queens Royal Park on Lake Ontario. The perfect location to walk into the old town and access wonderful and unique restaurants, wineries and the many unique stores of Queen Street.
There are 3 live theaters in walking distance from the cottage - world class live theater. As well the town offers jazz concerts, classical music, outdoor concerts,many wineries, historic sites, off-leash park, outdoor community swimming pool in the summer, helicopter rides, horse and buggy rides, nature trails, behind the scenes theater tours,, tennis courts, and Luxurious spas -3 within walking distance, where you can pamper yourself, have a massage, manicure, pedicure etc.
Take a Whirlpool Jet Boat ride up the mighty Niagara River, a real thrill ! Cycle rentals are available, they’ll deliver them to the house. Cycle along the Niagara Parkway, a beautiful ride all along the river, and its very safe for cyclists. The horse and buggy rides will pick you up at the house if you like, or you can start your ride outside the Prince of Wales Hotel, which is just a minutes walk from the house.
Take time to walk around the town, off the main street, you’ll see beautiful homes, English style gardens and be in awe at the variety of flowers and plants. No matter what time of year its just the prettiest place to visit. The town gardens are in flower earlier in the Spring.
We have thousands of acres of vineyards where different varieties of grapes are grown, producing world-class wines and a specialty of the area ‘Ice Wine’. This region is also the fruit basket of Ontario growing, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, apricots, pears, apples, and vegetables etc. You can stop at one of the many fruit stands by the side of the road and pick up some wonderful locally grown produce.
Join us for all these wonderful activities and many more!
