The Lily Pad - quaint home in Old Town NOTL, steps from the lake!
Hop over to The Lily Pad for a perfect weekend getaway in Niagara-on-the-Lake - the location is one of THE BEST! This is a picture perfect place to relax. Our home is situated on a quiet street, lined with beautiful historic homes. The Queen's Royal Park (the infamous gazebo) right on Lake Ontario is less than a block away and the bustling Queen Street is also one block away. A short walk or bike ride takes you to your choice of local wineries, breweries, restaurants, shops, and other sites and attractions. Please ask us for additional information or recommendations!
Built in 1930, the home has been in the family for over 60 years (4 generations). With a fire place in the spacious living room, it is a charming and cozy home for couples, families and friends. All beds are fitted with luxurious linens and bedding, and towels are supplied to listed guests. Our bathroom was newly renovated in 2026, new windows installed in 2025, and exterior redone in 2025 as well. The AC and furnace are also brand new as of 2026 as well.
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.
Please let us know if you have additional requests or questions for your stay with us! We are happy to accommodate you as best as we can.

We had such a nice stay in this charming town. The Lily Pad was a perfect vantage point from which to explore. We were especially appreciative of the access to the owner’s bicycles while enjoying our stay—what a great way to see the town.
The house was really cute, exactly as advertised. Everything we needed for our stay was there. Nice and close to shops and restaurants. We loved our stay.
Brought our senior mum for a stay in this charming Niagara On The Lake cottage. Perfect location close to boutique shopping, grocery store and park. Kitchen was well equipped and beds comfortable. Enjoyed the backyard garden and fire table. Communication with host was great. Would stay here again.

Lovely little spot, very cosy. Nice for a small family. Loved the complimentary bottle of wine, lots of nice touches that made it a very comfortable stay. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend and return!
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.

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.

Our stay at the Lily Pad exceeded all expectations, and we look forward to booking another stay there in the future! Cozy and the most central location you can imagine...thank you Corey and Alicia!
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!
As advertised, a quaint little cottage, located in walking distance to the waterfront and downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Good communication from our host and they were very helpful with questions as we planned our visit and check-in.
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.
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.
What a wonderful venue so close to the village. The bikes were so handy to have, the house was clean and well set up. Loved the fire table! Thank you so much!
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!
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
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.
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.
