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.

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.

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!

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.

Perfect Location!

My husband and 2 sons stayed at The Lily Pad for 2 nights. We loved the location! It was less than 2 blocks from Queen Street and less than 1 block to the lake. The house was very quaint and homey. Great detail was put into the decorations and amenities. We really appreciated the wine gift and coupons. My only complaint would be the beds. My sons slept in the larger room since there were two beds. My husband and I slept in the smaller room which had a full size bed. The mattress was not very comfortable.
