We had an absolutely wonderful time at the butterfly cottage! The location is amazing and the property was exactly as described. Look forward to coming back in the future!
Spent 3 nights at this property with my sisters. It was a well stocked, clean property with liads of room. The bedroo.s were soacious and very comfortable. Loved the upstairs bathroom.Would recommend this property.
We loved the coziness of the cottage! We loved the back porch and yard! It was a short walk to the lake front and a nice relaxing walk to town. The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had everything you would need!
Very clean and beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood! We had a wonderful stay, enjoying the house, the porch and garden very much. So did our dog!
Pictures didn’t even do it justice. Comfortable and cozy. We loved the board games the backyard and the comfortable seating and beds. All around great place!
The cute, well spacious, family friendly cottage is in a great location. A short walk to shops and restaurants makes this an ideal spot to gather with friends and/or family.
We enjoyed the wrap around porch, large 8 person dinning table and spacious bedrooms that fit 8 comfortably.
Two nights at the butterfly Cottage exploring NOTL! The accommodations were great, everything we needed was on hand and the space was perfect for four friends gathering!
Cute home in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood! The property was very clean and had a lot of character.
5 minute walk from the waterfront with views of Toronto skyline in the distance. Walking distance to Queen street with shops + restaurants.
The house was great for 8 people and back yard was a hit with the kids. They loved the tree swing and Koy pond. Very nice location a block from the lake in a residential neighborhood. Decent walk or quick drive to shopping and restaurants. The host was very attentive and they went above and beyond in helping us retrieve an item we left behind. Awesome place and we had a wonderful time!
Five high school (I won't mention our graduation year!) friends met at the cottage. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed complete with a beautiful scenic area for morning walks and trips down town.
Loved staying at Butterfly Cottage! Walking distance to old town and 2 areas of lake access through beautiful, established neighborhood. Plenty of room for our family and dog, cute little backyard with tree swing and pond. Neighbors were very welcoming and friendly. Our son uses a manual wheelchair and after we helped him up the first 2 small steps into the home, the first floor living area and bedroom worked well for him. Bathroom isn’t truly accessible, but worked for him/us as we help him with all care, but an independent wheelchair user would likely find bathroom access challenging. Overall wonderful stay!
Perfect for 4 ladies on a girl’s getaway
Well located to NOTL shopping and Queen Street
Quiet safe feeling neighbourhood
Short walk to the lake and a lovely path that goes along the lake and golf course.
Quiet restful back deck and sitting area.
Great beds, nicely decorated, comfy sitting room, open concept made for easy meal prep without missing out on conversation in the sitting area. Well appointed kitchen with thoughtful starters supplied :)
Loved the lavender soap/shampoo that was supplied as
well. Great water pressure in the shower, and a wonderful claw foot tub upstairs. Just the perfect home! Would come back in a heartbeat! Thanks
We had a wonderful time at Niagara on the lake. The butterfly cottage was perfect location with the ability to walk to queen street. The house layout suited our needs perfectly. Would have been nice if the grass was cut and there were little sweet ants on the kitchen counter above the dishwasher so we had to be sure to use the other counter space. We figured that out after the first day so it was manageable. Even with that said I would still recommend the house.
We loved the "cottage", it was fully stocked with supplies which we really appreciated! Very clean with lots of seating areas inside and out. Good quality linens and towels. There were 7 of us and felt there was plenty of room for us all. The only thing I would point out is the shower upstairs is a claw foot tub with a shower curtain around it. Those of us using that bathroom found it a bit of a hazard when in the shower as the curtain was long and you were stepping on it while showering as you couldn't have it outside of the tub. It was about a 25 min walk to most restaurants which as fine as we needed the walk after dinner. Would definitely recommend staying here with a group of family or friends.
Pros:
- Close proximity to Queen Street with shops and restaurants
- Quiet neighborhood
- 10 min walk to the entrance of the walking trail along Lake Ontario
- The cottage was clean, charming, and plenty of room for all 6 of us
- 1st floor bathroom had excellent water pressure
Cons:
- The HVAC on the 2nd floor whistled when starting up.
- 1st floor bathroom: no anti-slip mat in the tub/shower and no handle inside for the elderly.
- 2nd floor bathroom: No anti-slip mat but there is a handle mounted to the wall to help get in and out, however it still felt a little risky. The tub is a freestanding cast iron with a retrofitted shower. We found adjusting the water temperature to be finicky.
Wonderfully appointed with every attention to detail. We had a really terrific stay at Butterfly Cottage in Niagara on the Lake for New Years! Thank you!
