Convenient, Clean, and Quaint!

I met a friend here for a quick girls' weekend. The location is perfect... Close walking distance to the railway, lake, parks, and Queen Street shops and restaurants. It was an easy bike or drive to many wineries too! The home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again for another visit!

Getaway in NOTL

Great location, walking distance to the center of town. Owners of the property are close by and took great care of us when we requested a couple of items for our stay. If we get back to NOTL, we will most certainly look to see if one of their properties is available for our stay.

2-night Getaway

I chose Hawsepiper Cottage for a 2-night getaway with my mother, and it was perfect. The unit is compact and cozy, and very clean. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the linens and towels are high-quality and plentiful. We appreciated the easy access to the waterfront. Communication with the host was very good and there was lots of clear, easy-to-find information in the unit about how things worked. There is one change from the posted photos: there is no longer a table in the kitchen, it has been replaced with a built-in bar and stools, so you sit facing the wall. In addition, if you look at the property on Streetview there is just a grassy open space next to it. That is now a large, 2-storey home in the process of being finished. The properties are very close together and both bedrooms have windows facing this new build. We were a little taken aback to have workmen directly outside the bedroom windows at 7am. This did not create a problem, it was just surprising.Unfortunately, the weather was very wet so we weren’t able to make use of the outdoor seating or enjoy the lovely and well-kept property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay none-the-less, and would return.

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted to own a property in 'Old Town' Niagara-on-the-Lake because we love the architecture of historic houses and the lovely gardens in town.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property because of the beautiful landscaping already in place and it's location on a quiet street so close to the lake.
