Great location for theatre-goers! Very clean and rustic. Three bedrooms, one bath, nice kitchen, washer/dryer on same floor, which was nice. Shower could use a shelf and toiletries. Parking spot was convenient.
Convenient cottage, so close to both Shaw theatres. This cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and was so close to everything, we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was a very comfortable place to stay, and parking was reserved just for the cottage!

Thank you very much! Yes, we are just steps away from the centre of town, and have our own private parking spot right at the back gate. As you say, walking to both theatres is close and very easy. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it!
This place is a gem! Super comfortable, air conditioned, laundry facilities, an incredibly easy walk to the main part of town (it’s literally in your backyard!). Quiet at night and well equipped kitchen. The bathroom even has heated floors. We loved every minute of our time here and hope to come back. For an old home it’s been completely upgraded. Niagara Falls is a 20-30 minute drive as are the shopping outlets. We loved everything about this place.

This property is in an ideal location to access Historic Niagara on the Lake! It is walking distance to Shaw Festival, the shopping district, terrific coffee shops, bakeries and pubs. It was very well equipped with a laundry unit, kitchen, lovely updated bathroom and the 3 bedrooms were very comfortable and the sitting area was cozy. We parked the car on arriving and it never moved the whole stay, everything was so close by.
Check in was easy. Parking was at the rear of the house. The house was historic and right at the edge of all stores and the theaters. The host was a great communicator. Everything was as described. Thanks for the use of the house for our visit. No kureg but standard coffee pot was available. Just make sure you bring your coffee with you.

Very close to the downtown. Great location.
I think a skunk may be living under the kitchen area, first thing you smell when egg n you walk in.
Watch your step…Floors are a little warped, and there’s some nails sticking out that we kept tripping over.
Otherwise looks like the bathroom was a new renovation. Plenty of space for a girls trip
Great in town home built in the 1800’s! Comfortable and clean and mostly all wood floors. The bathroom has been updated and very nice. Walking around town, to the river and the lake are all within blocks! Anna was really helpful and would respond quickly! We would love to come again!
Fantastic location. Only used our car once to go to Niagara Falls. Everything else was walking distance (though we weren’t interested in wineries which might have required driving).
