Backyard and front gate needs some attention. Would prefer a kerig coffee maker available to offer various coffee likes such as decaf and regular coffee. Was surprised how excessively the floors sloped in one bedroom. Heating was too noisy to use. Downtown convenience was the bonus. Rustic decor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blacksmith's Cottage. The property has been lovingly and tastefully restored, with a lot of attention to detail. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It was an easy walk to all theatres, and to the restaurants and stores on Queen Street. The location is very quiet and the parking space available was just. outside the back garden gate. We would gladly stay there again.

I stayed here with my sister and her two children (ages 12 and 6) and we could not have been more comfortable. We cooked meals in the perfectly stocked kitchen, watched TV in the lovely living room. Walked to the beautiful downtown and lakeshore in mere minutes. Slept wonderfully in the comfortable beds, and enjoyed long soaks in the fantastic claw foot tub! Seriously this place had it all. Location, amenities, and comfort! I will definitely be back again. I can not recommend this gem of a place to stay enough!

The place was exactly as it was advertised. Excellent location and facilities in the cottage. Anna was very responsive via email. Definitely will stay again.

Two friends and their 88 yr old mothers had a great, relaxed, warm and cozy stay!

This property is in an ideal location to access Historic Niagara on the Lake! It is walking distance to Shaw Festival, the shopping district, terrific coffee shops, bakeries and pubs. It was very well equipped with a laundry unit, kitchen, lovely updated bathroom and the 3 bedrooms were very comfortable and the sitting area was cozy. We parked the car on arriving and it never moved the whole stay, everything was so close by.

The check in process was quick n simple. Location was excellent. The accommodations with slight cost effective improving would be most accommodating . I believe if any of the following suggestions would be considered-they are as follows : 1-denim replacement sofa n love seat covers-washable. The current sofas are dingy and cushions could use added padding. 2-the designated parking space for the cottage was covered in leaves and upon closer inspection realized that although sign posted, it was marked over , was painted as a “do not park-“hence first night we got a parking ticket.. 3- each bed could use a comfortable foam topper… other than these minor - low cost improvements will absolutely enhance an even more comfortable relaxed stay- and we plan on returning to this cottage if available.

The house was perfect! We could walk to everything and our Wine tour guide picked us up down the street. The house is very clean and pretty and just as described. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Niagra-on-the-Lake!

We were in NOTL for Shaw Festival performances (and to visit wineries), and this sweet little house is perfectly located close to all Shaw theatres, includes a parking space, and is less than a block’s walk from town. There are indoor and outdoor visiting areas, and washer and dryer are a plus. Note there’s only one washroom, but we managed! We absolutely would stay here again if it’s available.

We enjoyed our stay very much. This quirky little cottage is in a great walk-to location. It had a convenient parking space which was great when we wanted to make a trip over to the falls. Appreciated the obvious recent upgrades to the kitchen and the bathroom. The living room furniture was cozy but showing its age. The hosts were very agreeable and helpful.

My sister, mother, and I stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. No complaints. We each enjoyed our own bedroom and thought the beds were comfy. Having one bedroom worked just fine for us. We appreciated the renovation. We loved the private, back patio and the parking spot. Loved the location: so close to the Shaw Theater, restaurants, and pubs (our favorite being the Irish Harp).

This was a quirky cottage with rolling uneven floors, so close to downtown was a nice stay. We wished there would have been a nicer more comfortable outdoor sitting area to enjoy the activities outdoors

This cottage was perfect for the 3 of us. The kitchen and living room were large and roomy allowing us to sit and visit comfortably. The garden was a great place for a peaceful afternoon/ evening wine and cheese get together with a couple of other family members. The reserved parking space was definitely a plus!

Stay was okay. Couple of nails sticking up from the floor. Needs a grab bar in the shower.

The cottage had everything we could have wanted for a girls weekend getaway. Comfy accommodations, steps away from downtown NOTL with restaurants and shopping plus close to Niagara area wineries. Lovely place to spend some time enjoying all the region has to offer. Highly recommend it!!

Very close to the downtown. Great location. I think a skunk may be living under the kitchen area, first thing you smell when egg n you walk in. Watch your step…Floors are a little warped, and there’s some nails sticking out that we kept tripping over. Otherwise looks like the bathroom was a new renovation. Plenty of space for a girls trip

Great spot and a great location. Property was well kept and as described. Check in and out process was very simple. This was our first VRBO experience and it was a good one!

Entire backyard area is scruffy and unkempt not conducive to barbecuing or sitting outside. Indoors clean but shabby. Modern bathroom with no place to have soap or toiletries in shower stall. Blue carpeting in one bedroom tripping hazard. Would not recommend this property.

Nice location, charming old place, but there were some issues. The lock mechanism caused some problems - front door isn't usable and back door was very hard to open. Back gate on fence also was tricky to open. You have to be strong to get into this house. There were cobwebs in a few places, and the carpet in the third bedroom was not clean. The third bedroom is also so tiny that it wasn't usable for our party.

Beautiful property in a perfect location. Quiet and close to everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. Had a wonderful stay. Beautiful cottage and great communication with owners. Looking forward to rebooking again in 2021.

Hope to be back next year for another wine tour! Thanks

Experience was good. We did have a small problem with toilet continuously running after flushing—nothing big. We notified property manager so repairs could be completed for next guests.

This is the place that makes you reluctant to leave a review because you don't want to let the secret out! What a gem. The location simply can not be beat. The cottage has every detail covered while managing to be perfectly comfortable. Parking is convenient. The kitchen is well-stocked and spotless when we arrived (as was the bathroom and other spaces). Communication and instructions are clear from start to finish. We were three friends (former roomates) who had no trouble sharing the single spacious bathroom (two sinks!) but each had our own bedrooms and plenty of space to comfortably sit and catch up (either in the living room or around the table in the cozy kitchen with our VQA wine choices from the day). Beds were comfortable and dressed with high quality linens. Towels were plentiful. Highly recommend.

Lovely, clean cottage in a great location! Beautiful area, close to all the shops, restaurants , wineries, theater and Lake Ontario! Had a great time!

Right in the heart of NotL, everything is within a 10 minute walking distance. Cottage is roomier than expected from the photos, super clean and with plenty of paid parking nearby (one spot included in rental.)

This small house is a treasure. It is quiet and well located for theatre, restaurants, shopping, the works! The owners made rental easy and the building manager had great suggestions. I recommend it for short, medium, or long length stays.

Other than the keypad not working consistently, this house was great. House was very clean and we'll supplied. It has nice atmosphere and decoration. Beds we're very comfortable. Bathroom is well laid out-plenty of hot water. Location convenient to walk to all places in old Town. Enjoyed Simcoe Park. Thanks for a good place from which to visit NOTL!

Great cottage and super location right by Queen Street with many shops and restaurants. Many updates/renovations inside including beautiful bathroom - but owner needs to check quality of renovation work as a vanity door in the bathroom hits the bathroom door moulding, and a cupboard door in the kitchen hits the stove door. Convenient push-button lock on back door leading to dedicated parking space in public lot is very handy, but the lock is finicky and doesn't always lock/unlock on first try. There is an extra per person charge that isn't known/upfront in the online vrbo booking process until AFTER you book and communicate directly with owner - which was annoying. Otherwise very nice place with just the above-mentioned items needing attention.

Suburban setting. Easy drive to sights and other interesting neighborhoods. Enjoyed our time in Montréal.

The house was charming and perfect for our 2 night getaway. Walking distance to everything we wanted to do.

Our family of 5 had plenty of room in this very quaint, historic cottage. Perfect location to walk to everything in historic district. Host was excellent to communicate with.
