Great time in NOTL

Sweet William was the perfect place for a trip with my mother to NOTL. This cozy cottage had everything we needed. It is a short walk to town and out to view Ontario Lake. Communication with the hosts was effortless, and they ensured we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this little gem!

This house is a .5 mile walk to the main tourist district, which is good since parking is difficult. It is also near to some restaurants (including Tim Horton’s) and a small grocery store. The neighborhood is also a beautiful place to walk due to all the well maintained gardens.

Great Location, Great Stay

The house and location was perfect for our girl's getaway. We were 2 blocks away from the bike rental shop and a very short walk to downtown. We were able to sit outside in the backyard and enjoy the evening. Check in was seamless. Bedrooms were cozy but we were there only to sleep.

My daughter and I stayed for the weekend. The cottage was within an easy and lovely walk to the main area. We just wanted to be together and play card games and explore. The house was perfect for that!
