The Shaw Cottage was clean, cozy, and charming. Its location is perfect in relation to walking to the parks, the Shaw Festival Theatre, and Queen Street shopping and dining. (Wineries too are just a very short drive away.) Penny and Jeff were thoughtful and generous hosts, and my stay in Niagara-on-the-Lake was made even more special by their warm hospitality.

Lovely and luxurious

We have stayed in dozens of vacation rentals and this one was the cleanest we have ever stayed in! Even the backyard furniture was spotless during pollen season. Also the beds really were the most comfy. Washing my face was like a trip to the spa, using the most luxurious face cloth I have ever experienced. Would not hesitate to stay here again, great hosts!

Top marks

Very comfortable and convenient cottage just steps from the theatres and shops, but without the noise. The warm in-person welcome from our host was much appreciated. Messages during the week were responded to promptly. A special note to those like us who are allergy-prone: we had no issues during our visit to this extremely clean home.
