Cozy and Romantic Anniversary Retreat!

This was our first time staying at “The Flying Cloud” and NOTL and we had a fabulous time! This cozy cottage was the perfect “40th Anniversary Retreat”! Diane made us feel so welcome and we truly appreciated all the special touches that were set up for our arrival. Diane was so friendly, caring, attentive and accommodating. She was always available and helpful with any questions we had. The cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated, comfortable and super cozy. It truly was a peaceful, serene, relaxing and romantic oasis! We enjoyed many long walks along Lake Ontario (the sunsets were spectacular) and walks to the golf course and to town through the beautiful neighbourhood. We enjoyed sitting in the lovely, quiet backyard after a day of exploring beautiful NOTL (shops, winery, shows, etc.). Diane’s kind hospitality was truly exceptional! We had an amazing time with so many treasured memories. "The Flying Cloud" is an absolute “gem” and we look forward to returning someday! We highly recommend “The Flying Cloud”.

Flying Cloud NOTL

Wonderful cottage in NOTL, close to historic town centre and lake. The cottage is beautiful inside and out and we felt totally welcomed by the host. A bottle of wine and treats were waiting for us upon arrival. The cottage is fully stocked with lovely linens, toiletries and everything to make our stay comfortable. This is a place we’d love to return to time and again! A true home away from home!

Perfect Location

We happily spent a long weekend at the Flying Cloud Cabin in Niagara on the Lake. It is so comfy and cute. Every detail was top notch. Comfortable beds and furniture. Clean. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Even many books and magazines to enjoy while sitting in front of the gas fireplace. Close enough to walk down to the Lake front.

Flying Cloud—where relationships are nurtured

Greeted by a welcoming porch light, freshly cut hydrangeas and the glow of candles, we entered Flying Cloud and were embraced by the warmth of a personally well curated space that honored the history of the home and community. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips including reminders to watch the sunset, lists of favorite places to eat and drink, as well as notes about local happenings! We will look back on this stay fondly and look forward to booking again.

Mother/daughter retreat

The Flying Cloud could not be any more adorable if it tried. Absolutely everything you could need is provided to make your stay perfect...and I mean everything! Diane was very attentive and provided excellent communication with us at all times. Great recommendations for places to go and for dinner. Upon arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a "bread" roll (for lack of better explanation of this delicious item!..Budapest Bakery is where it's from in town. We came home with 6 pieces) Thank you Diane for making this a perfect mother/daughter weekend for us!

Cozy Cottage with Great Location

We had a great stay at the Flying Cloud. When we arrived, Diane had the fireplace going, music playing, flameless candles throughout, and a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge! The cottage is small, but very nicely decorated and cozy. The hosts had stocked up with every amenity we could think of, even peanuts and apples for the squirrels and deer. We we only a few houses down from the lakeshore at the end of the street and could see the Toronto skyline across the lake. There are lots of places to walk and we were very close to the historic downtown area. The Icewine Festival was going the weekend we were in town so that was fun! Diane was very attentive about checking in to see if we needed anything, giving recommendations, or offering to make reservations. We'd really like to visit again in the summer when we can spend more time outdoors and will definitely be staying at the Flying Cloud!

Perfect Birthday Trip

After looking at several places in Niagara-on-the-Lake to stay for a few days for a special birthday with my husband, I decided on the Flying Cloud Cottage and it was definitely the best decision I could have made. Diane was a wonderful host and communicated so well with us and provided a folder filled with any information we would need on local restaurants, stores, activities, etc. From the time we walked in and found a birthday bottle of wine in the fridge and a “locally made Chimney Cake” of aged cheddar (which I highly recommend), our stay was magical. This beautiful cottage is equipped with everything you would ever need and then some. The fireplaces, the most comfortable bed, the designer bathroom and kitchen, the front sitting porch and back patio were all well above our expectations. One of our favorite things was feeding the squirrels in the backyards the peanuts provided by our host. We never wanted to leave but will definitely be back. Thank you, again, Diane for a wonderful stay. Denise and Steve

About the host

Hosted by Diane Haliski

Host profile image
Being a seventh generation native to Niagara-on-the-Lake, & having grown up here, I have experienced the vast changes from a sleepy hollow to a thriving tourist town. One aspect that remains to this day within our village, is the historic beauty... accompanied by the breath-taking geographic location, and the warm, friendly sense of community.

Why they chose this property

Situated on one of the prettiest streets in one of the "Prettiest Towns in Canada", I instantly fell in love with this enchanting cottage.....the dark green woods shading it & the sweet smell of cedar upon entering the front porch. A feeling of peace & tranquility swept over me & I knew I was home.

What makes this property unique

The minute walk to the ever changing lake & magnificent sunsets make the Flying Cloud unique in every season !
Chautauqua was always, & remains to be the "magical" cottage area of town. At the turn of the century it housed the Chautauqua Ampitheatre in the centre hub of it's spoked street design....providing live theatre & entertainment to cottagers, town folk, & tourists throughout the summers.
