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 profane fire table is available for guests use on the back patio with comfortable cushioned seating.

The Lilly Pad was a great place to explore Niagara on the Lake. You can walk to everything including the Shaw Festival and the main shopping area. We really enjoyed being able to walk down to the water in less than 5 miles. They have a nice backyard to relax in along with a front porch which is great for eating breakfast on. The house itself had everything we needed and we were quite comfortable in it. Our only comment is the bathroom is kind of tight, but for a house built in the 1930’s it works. Already looking forward to planning a return trip.

Lovely little house in a perfect location!!

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.

Fantastic location!

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!

Cozy 1930s cottage with great location

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.
