Niagara stay

The house was cute and clean however there was a bit of a musty smell. We opened the windows which helped a lot. The location was perfect and the backyard was lovely.

Birthday Adventure

We were looking for some place not too far from our home that we had not been to before. NOTL was the perfect choice. Saw the Generals Cottage and knew it looked like a great choice. It was easy to get too. It was close to Queen St. The owners give you a great welcome package with things to do and free wine tasting coupons. We took advantage of them. We would stay there again without question.

Very cozy and quiet. Huge private yard with great back deck. Loved the front porch, where we spent much time enjoying our wine. Place was clean and welcoming. Flowers and music upon arrival were a nice touch. My husband and I took my sister there for her 90th birthday. We were all very pleased. It is small and older but very adequate for 3 adults. We have simple taste and loved it. Thank you to our hosts for assisting in making our experience and celebration special.
