About this house rental

Built in 1816, Vanderlip Hutchings House is a luxurious, historic home centrally located in the heart of historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, one block from Queen Street and steps to pubs, shops, restaurants, art galleries and the Shaw Theatre. North America’s oldest golf course and the Niagara river waterfront are just five minutes away.

The house, built immediately after the War of 1812, underwent renovations that added two extensions to the original structure. It is presently 3,200 square feet of modern luxurious living space, yet keeps many of the original features and all of its charm.

The main floor’s four original rooms retain the original working fireplaces.
On this level you have the spacious, well-furnished master bedroom, which has a king-size bed and modern en-suite bathroom with glass shower.

The main floor gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for discerning chefs. It also has a large gathering/sitting area for your family or guests.
Immediately adjoining, but separate from the kitchen, is an elegant dining room (formerly the original “parlour”) with seating for eight. It has a gas fireplace.

The “Morning Room” next to the kitchen, is an inviting, light-filled space dominated by south-facing windows and is perfect for reading, relaxing or games. Outside the kitchen is a private outdoor bistro seating area, ideal for enjoying morning coffee and the local paper.

The second floor has two tastefully furnished bedrooms with period antiques and an ultra modern bathroom.

At the far end of the house is the Great Room, a large main-floor open area, with an imposing gas fireplace, generously furnished for entertaining, socializing, or relaxing. The Great Room has a king size (2 separate twins) trundle bed/couch to accommodate one or two additional guests. Adjacent to the Great Room is a brand new 4 piece bathroom.

The house is surrounded by private lush gardens for your own enjoyment.

Lovely Historical Niagara Home
Lovely Historical Niagara Home
Our group of 5 had a wonderful stay at the Vanderlip House! The location is perfect; only a block from the downtown area shops and restaurants, easy walking distance to everything, including bike rentals! The home was lovely and full of historical memorabilia that really set the mood for "old town Niagara on the Lake". Jane and Chris were the most gracious hosts ever, from our initial contact via email to greeting us at the house. The gardens were private and we enjoyed the BBQ and making a couple of meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Every detail was thought of, and we would highly recommend this property. We will definitely return in the future!

Lovely Family Gathering
Lovely Family Gathering
This historic and charming home was perfect for our family gathering. We were four adults who like to spread out, with two more siblings staying nearby. We had a nice dinner in the beautiful dining room with a big fire in the gas fireplace, after cocktails in the family room with another big gas fire. The beds were extremely comfortable. Even though the house is olld the heating and air conditioning both worked great. Chris and Jane were immediately accessible if we needed anything. The location was ideal, one block off the main street yet still quiet. We would definitely like to stay here again when we return to NOTL.

Family vacation in NOTL
Family vacation in NOTL
We had a wonderful stay in NOTL. The house was full of history and welcoming decor. Just the right size for my family of four. The host was so accommodating the weeks leading up for the stay, I knew we were in for a special home. All the amenities we needed for morning pancakes and coffee and bbqs when we felt like lounging at home. NOTL is a beautiful town and we enjoyed seeing some theater at the Shaw Festival as well as the vineyards. Lots of great memories made!
