Charming and quaint, excellent location, comfortable and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only suggestions for improvement would be a place to hang wet towels in the bedrooms, some throw pillows and throw blankets for the couch.

Sweet cottage, great location
My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend stay in NOTL at the Bluebird. It is a comfortable, clean and quiet little house, and provided nice little extras. The location is perfect, with an easy walk to Queen St and the Shaw Festival. It was cool and rainy during our stay so we didn’t use the backyard very much, but it is very private and charming. We would definitely be glad to return for another visit!

Niagara-on-the-Lake theatre and wine tours
The house has a great location walkable to NOTL amenities - we have visited many times before but had never been to the local museum across the road from Bluebird, and there were admission tickets for the museum included in the welcome package. Decor suits the 1950s wartime housing vibe, kitchen is very well equipped and we enjoyed the small private patio space out back to relax between adventures.

Nice stay overall
The Bluebird is a nice property for staying at NOTL. The location was great - easy walking distance to anyplace in town. Located on a quiet street. The cottage itself was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed sitting in the private backyard and on the front porch mornings and nights with the cool breeze. We ate breakfast in each morning, and was really nice. VRBO mistakenly advertised this initially as 2+ bathrooms, so we were disappointed to find only 1 bathroom for a party of 5, but not much to be done at that point and this appears to have now been corrected. The cottage is a bit cramped for a party of 4 or 5 - better suited for 2 or 3 people. Bathtub/shower with no real privacy, as only have glass wall. Dishwasher and sink garbage disposal would be a nice addition, as drains were slow and it's kind of a pain to manually wash dishes on vacation. A/C worked well but didn't really need it for temps in mid 70s! Nice to be able to use washer and dryer in basement for towels, etc. Ants were quick to appear with any uncovered food but nothing we haven't seen before. Museum across the street was awesome and informative - you get free admission by staying at Bluebird, so save $10 per person admission fee. All in all, a good trip and we love NOTL.
