Very charming, warm and clean and comfortable. Howie is a real hoot, and his young bride makes the best breakfasts in town. Walkable to town (5 minutes) with many dining/entertainment/shopping options. Check out the Heriage trail for a beautiful morning walk. Definitely be back.

Convenient and Comfortable

Lyons House was perfect for a couple's weekend in Niagara on the Lake. Location was perfect...could leave the car and walk into Old Town - really important as the parking is challenging. Breakfasts were awesome, hosts very friendly, room comfortable and quiet. Beautiful old home, but spacious and updated. Just enough off of the beaten path but so close to everything.
