Cozy up with a complimentary cup of coffee or glass of wine on the back patio overlooking the luscious garden or on the front deck overlooking the lake before heading out on a bike (also complimentary!) to tour the town. Additionally, a new propane fire table is available for guests use on the back patio with comfortable cushioned seating.

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.

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.

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!
