Location
The Secret Garden is a hidden gem, and the beautifully landscaped property can be enjoyed from both inside and outside of the home, with spacious front and back porches, and a cozy Garden Room.
In addition to the over 30 amenities on site, one of this two-floor cottage's unique features is the Music Room with an upright Kawai piano, located on the main floor. That room has a double sofa bed.
Two bedrooms with quality queen size beds are on the upper floor, and the Master contains a twin sofa bed.
The spacious bathroom with combined tub/shower, toilet and sink with plenty of counter space, also has toiletries and plush towels.
There is a powder room on the main floor.
The comfortable living room contains a multitude of games and books, and a large screen Smart TV with an Amazon Fire Stick.
Kitchen and pantry are well-stocked with baking and cooking supplies, and an adjoining dining room has an expandable table with 6 chairs.
Located at the back of the garden, the shed contains 2 bicycles, saving you having to rent elsewhere!
Enjoy the floral and musical themes throughout the cottage, and be sure to have a glass of wine (provided by your host!) on the deck overlooking the extensive and stunning Secret Garden, or in the Garden Room with a beautiful view!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: The maximum number of guests, including children, that the Secret Garden can accommodate comfortably, is 7. The additional charge for more than 4 guests is so that the pullout sofa(s) can be prepared in advance of your arrival with cozy bedding, enough pillows, and extra-thick mattress covers.
My love of Niagara-on-the-Lake led me to purchase the Secret Garden Cottage. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable. Thank you!

Why Tara chose Old Town Historic District
Niagara-on-the-Lake is quaint and inviting, and has a lot to offer: from wine tours to world-renowned restaurants, and the famous SHAW Festival Theatre. The Secret Garden Cottage is in a perfect location, allowing those who stay there to easily enjoy them all. Park your car in the driveway, and walk next door to one of the top bakeries in town. It's a short walk to "downtown NOTL", and fun to pop into the unique boutiques, galleries and specialty shops. Visit wineries or book a wine tour.
What makes this house unique
The neighborhood is beautiful, the proximity to town is perfect, and there is a quality Kawai piano in the Music Room! The Secret Garden Cottage is equipped with everything you need, with complimentary Pharmacopia toiletries and a bottle of Stratus wine, a fully-stocked kitchen with laundry facilities as well, an outdoor barbecue grill, a Smart TV with Amazon Fire Stick, and a multitude of puzzles, books and games for you and your family or friends to enjoy. Allow my home-away-from home to be your home-away-from home for a little while!
