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.

My family and I loved the location of this house.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
10.0 / 10.0
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!

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.
8.0 / 10.0
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.
10.0 / 10.0

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
8.0 / 10.0
A very pleasant little house, quick walk to downtown NOTL, theater district, restaurants. Prepare yourself for a tiny bathroom to serve all guests. Plenty of hot water but close quarters.
8.0 / 10.0
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!!

Parked at the Lily Pad and walk everywhere in the village, what a pleasure. Easy, and beautiful, walking to both the Shaw Festival Theater and the Royal George. Walking on the main street OR in the beautiful neighborhood and park around the Lily Pad was great.
The Lily Pad is not just a great location it is clean, the neighborhood was quiet, the hosts have bicycles available, beautiful backyard to sit in, also a comfy front porch for relaxing and a full kitchen. Very nice and comfy cottage.
First time I used anything other than a hotel, this beats a hotel for comfort and space to relax and enjoy.
The hosts where very good with communicating and everything is just as it is presented online, no surprises.
We ate every meal in the village, three guys, three meals a day (and snacking) several restaurants, each meal/snack was great. The shop and restaurant staff we interacted with were great.
Wonderful village, great shows, great place to stay.

We had a lovely stay at the charming Lily Pad. It is a quaint (reminded me of my grandparents home of many years ago) two bedroom one bath home, lovingly cared for. The eat-in kitchen is well stocked for cooking, the bedrooms small but beds comfortable, the bathroom off the kitchen cramped but serviceable, and the living room spacious. It is perfect for two couples or a small family, so long as you don’t have a bathroom hog! It is only a few minutes walk from shops, restaurants, theaters, golf course and the park on Lake Ontario is just at the end of the street. We used the complementary bikes to visit wineries and bike along the escarpment. All in all a memorable stay and would highly recommend.

The Gem of NOTL!
This was the perfect place. It has everything you could need for a get away. The location was perfect. You can see it from the front porch. Queen street is a block away to all the amazing shops and restaurants. Will come again. Highly recommend it.

We loved the Lily Pad. We could walk everywhere. To the Lake, the shops , the restaurants.
We would definitely recommend this house . The kitchen is well equipped . There are two outside spaces we enjoyed. The deck to watch the world go by and the garden at the back.
Please be aware one of the keys is bent to was quite sticky in the lock .

Sweet Cottage - walking distance to water and Main Street
A most wonderful time was spent enjoying this lovely wee cottage. Within a 5 minute walk to water and town. A very comfortable stay with many amenities provided. Hosts were excellent, very kind, helpful and accommodating. Can’t wait to return.
