The Lily Pad - quaint home in Old Town NOTL, steps from the lake!

Hop over to The Lily Pad for a perfect weekend getaway in Niagara-on-the-Lake - the location is one of THE BEST! This is a picture perfect place to relax. Our home is situated on a quiet street, lined with beautiful historic homes.

A short walk or bike ride takes you to your choice of local wineries, breweries, restaurants, shops, and other sites and attractions. Please ask us for additional information or recommendations!

All beds are fitted with luxurious linens and bedding, and towels are supplied to listed guests. Our bathroom was newly renovated in 2026, new windows installed in 2025, and exterior redone in 2025 as well. The AC and furnace are also brand new as of 2026 as well.

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

The Lily Pad is steps away from shops, restaurants, waterfront, and theatre. The house is comfortable and has everything you could need for your visit. Unfortunately, the timing of our visit didn't allow us a chance to enjoy the garden area. The hosts responded quickly to any questions. A great spot!

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.

Ideal Location

This little cottage had everything we needed for a wonderful three-night stay in Niagara on-the-Lake. The location is short walk to the lake-front park, gift and clothing shops, bakeries, restaurants, pubs, and grocery store, that despite one of us being severely disabled, managed to walk (cane assisted) the short distance on the sidewalks, such that our car did not leave the driveway until it was time to head home. The area is rich in history and every walk revealed immaculately maintained homes and gardens. Most of the homeowners obviously take great pride in their historic homes, and the stately lakeside mansions of yesteryear.
