Fantastic location!
Fantastic location in what seems to be a well-loved family home. Quirky touches, like frog images around the kitchen, make the Lily Pad memorable. The hosts had some great hospitable touches, like coupons to a winery that we really enjoyed visiting!

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.

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.

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.

Cute location in NOTL
This house was perfect for our girls trip to NOTL. There was plenty of parking for our three cars where we parked and were able to walk everywhere to the water, get food, drinks, and go shopping! We will definitely consider returning for our next trip back here.

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.

50th Birthday Celebration
Such a nice place to stay so close to the heart of NOTL. A group of close friends were able to enjoy time together hanging out in the house in the afternoon and then exploring the town at night. Loves the golf course restaurant on Front street. Complimentary wine and coffee was an added bonus. Doesn't get much better!

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.

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.

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.

Great location and porch!
Positives: The house was very cute and clean. It was in a great location. Sitting on the front porch watching the world go by is wonderful. Negatives: As other reviews stated, the bathroom is tiny. My 6’3” husband had difficulty navigating. To get to the bathroom you have to cross the living room and go through the kitchen. Not ideal. The shower and outside of the house need attention.

Wedding weekend
My siblings and our partners had a lovely time staying in this home, its quite small (we were 7 adults) but it is very cute and very functional. We were very comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay as well as to prepare for the wedding we were attending during our stay we were even able to walk to both the church and the wedding venue, and enjoy the sights of NOTL due to the very good location the super-long driveway was also very convenient as we had arrived in several cars overall we had a really lovely seamless stay, and would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to see NOTL for a more affordable price than many of the other local rentals and hotels

Relaxing get-a-way
The Lilly Pad is in an outstanding location for enjoying all that Niagara-on-the-Lake has to offer! Easy walk to almost anywhere, and the bikes provided were an enjoyable “plus!” The cottage was very clean, and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom situation was less than ideal. It is very small, and right off the kitchen (which doesn’t offer much privacy!) Outdoor spaces were adequate, but could benefit from a little “sprucing up!” But even with the a few shortcomings, the Lilly Pad provided a lovely home base for our stay at NOTL!!
