Brought our senior mum for a stay in this charming Niagara On The Lake cottage. Perfect location close to boutique shopping, grocery store and park. Kitchen was well equipped and beds comfortable. Enjoyed the backyard garden and fire table. Communication with host was great. Would stay here again.

Lovely little house in a perfect location!!

We loved our stay here at the Lily Pad! Was a great location, walking distance to the main strip and to the lake front. Stunning community and houses to view when you go for a stroll in the morning before all the crowds. Would stay here again next time we plan to visit NOTL.

Quaint cottage, great location

As advertised, a quaint little cottage, located in walking distance to the waterfront and downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake. Good communication from our host and they were very helpful with questions as we planned our visit and check-in.

The ultimate central location for a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake - just a couple minutes’ walk one way to the heart of shopping and restaurants, and to the lake in the other direction. The cottage is cozy, and love the long history of it.

Cozy 1930s cottage with great location

Easy walking distance from Queen St dining and shopping, or to park on the Niagara river. Far enough from Queen St to not be bothered by crowds. Host was kind to leave a yoga mat for my wife to use while we were there.

Niagara on the Lake

The Lily Pad is in a perfect location. A block from the water front and a block from the beautiful town. Within walking distance to both Shaw Theatres, all of the town shops, and a grocery store. We would definitely go back.

Small, but well located

House is small, with two bedrooms, all on a single level. Location is ideal. The one bathroom is in the kitchen and is very tight, but it works.

Excellent option in a perfect location

This cozy cottage style property was an amazing experience for myself, my wife and daughter. The location is in walking distance of everything you need, and the house was very clean and tidy. Self check in was a breeze and the owners were very accommodating! Would definitely stay here again!

Cute little house close to downtown

We really enjoyed staying at the Lily Pad. It is a lovely little house in a great location - close to downtown and the lake. Corey and Alicia were very friendly and accommodating, and provided very clear instructions for the house. I would recommend staying at the Lily Pad to anyone.

Weekend get away

Excellent property. Only issue was the driveway (which we were notified of). Just be aware that the bathroom is small, and may be difficult for a larger person to navigate.

The Gem of NOTL!

This was the perfect place. It has everything you could need for a get away. The location was perfect. You can see it from the front porch. Queen street is a block away to all the amazing shops and restaurants. Will come again. Highly recommend it.

Perfect Location!

My husband and 2 sons stayed at The Lily Pad for 2 nights. We loved the location! It was less than 2 blocks from Queen Street and less than 1 block to the lake. The house was very quaint and homey. Great detail was put into the decorations and amenities. We really appreciated the wine gift and coupons. My only complaint would be the beds. My sons slept in the larger room since there were two beds. My husband and I slept in the smaller room which had a full size bed. The mattress was not very comfortable.
