About this property

The Copper Penny house - Walking Distance to Falls!


License Number: L-VR- 0047

Choose one of the few vacation properties that is fully licensed, insured, and has successfully passed all health and safety inspections. Accommodating 6 guests, this property is within walking distance of the iconic Niagara Falls and conveniently located near art and cultural attractions, as well as a variety of restaurants. It features 2 queen beds, 1 double bed, 1 sofa bed, and 1 twin mattress, along with 2 full bathrooms.

The Copper Penny House is a charming vacation rental dating back to 1893. This home is perfect for today’s family travelers, offering a quiet and private atmosphere surrounded by large shade trees and a lovely view of a peaceful city park.

Just 200 feet from the house, a newly paved walking trail leads directly to the Falls area. Relax on the wicker furniture on our front verandah and enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard—it truly feels like a “home away from home.”

If your plans involve day outings to Local Wineries, The Butterfly Conservatory, The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, Golf Courses, or Old Towne Niagara-on-the-Lake, there is only a short walk to the WEGO transit bus that will conveniently take you to all locations. There is always something entertaining to do here!

Guests have full access to the entire house and yard, including the basement laundry room. This is a private rental, and the owner does not live on the property.

Other details to note

Location Information: Most guests find our property walkable to the falls, but some have noted that the distance can be challenging for the elderly, small children, or during inclement weather. The falls area is expansive, including Clifton Hill, American Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Clifton Hill, which offers numerous shops, dining, and attractions. From there, it may take another 20 minutes to reach Horseshoe Falls, passing by various attractions. Overall, our guests appreciate the balance of being close to the falls while enjoying a quieter, more peaceful environment away from the crowds.

Check-In/Out Policy: For early check-in requests, please message us. We will do our best to accommodate you, but we typically won't know about availability until one or two days before your arrival.

Our standard check-out time is 11 AM, and extensions are unlikely due to incoming guests and our cleaning schedule.

Property Maintenance: During your stay, our lawn maintenance team may be working on the property. We also handle garbage and recycling collection every other Friday.

TV Services: We do not have cable TV, but we do provide a TV with streaming services like YouTube and Netflix. If you plan to watch live sports events, please research how to stream them on our TV prior to your arrival, as you may need to purchase subscriptions or use a VPN for events not broadcast in Canada.

Coffee Maker: We have a drip-style coffee maker, and we provide coffee, tea, sugar, powdered creamer, and coffee filters for your convenience.

The house is a gem that is conveniently located to everything you want to do in Niagara. The character of the house is delightful. The neighborhood was quiet and safe for evening walks. The owners are very responsive and provide clear communication. We had a minor issue with the water heater our first month and the owner came immediately to fix it. I recommend it.

Comfy stay!

We found the house charming and comfortable, as well as convenient to the Falls and tourist area restaurants and activities. In addition we enjoyed a local joint Taps for meals and brews and trivia night. Kitchen is reasonably well-equipped, all very clean, and we enjoyed grilling outdoors. Hosts were very responsive and we had no major issues. Highly recommend for couples and families.

Comfortable and clean, convenient location

Four of us together again, celebrating our respective anniversaries, wanted to see the Falls, the wineries, and Toronto. We chose Copper Penny so we could hang out, do a jigsaw puzzle during down times, craft a meal or two, have our own coffee each morning. This house fit the bill perfectly. We were close to the Falls (not really walking distance, though), and about 25 minutes away from many wineries and also the adorable town of Niagra on the Lake. The drive to Toronto was 1.5 hours so we only went once but made the most of it with a walking tour and a fabulous meal. Nice to come home each day/evening to a comfy place to rewind. Beds are comfortable, linens nice, house was very clean. Owner communication is excellent, was very responsive to a minor issue on the first day which was resolved promptly.

Comfortable and Quiet

The home is very cute. We enjoyed the porch that overlooked a green belt. The beds were very comfortable. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with 1 bathroom. The other is downstairs. It’s not a close walk to the falls as described, but still enjoyed our stay

Pretty house, great stay

Great stay! We enjoyed the home very much. Nice kitchen and we liked the dining area. Plenty of living room space. Bedrooms upstairs are nice. Pull-out couch is uncomfortable for 2 adults, and we ran out of hot water on day of checkout...in the middle of a shower! Could have been a fluke...wouldn't keep us from staying again!

We have been operating licensed vacation rentals since 2009. We enjoy hosting guests from all over the world and we love traveling with our family as well.

Why they chose this property

The Hawley House as it is called, built in 1893 was owned by the same family until 1985 with largely no alterations leaving the valuable vintage woodwork intact. Since 2004, besides updating all wiring & plumbing, upstairs flooring and installed period (1920's style) crystal chandeliers in all rooms together with walls and ceilings to match.
