Summary: Our group of 5 had a wonderful stay at the Vanderlip House! The location is perfect; only a block from the downtown area shops and restaurants, easy walking distance to everything, including bike rentals! The home was lovely and full of historical memorabilia that really set the mood for "old town Niagara on the Lake". Jane and Chris were the most gracious hosts ever, from our initial contact via email to greeting us at the house. The gardens were private and we enjoyed the BBQ and making a couple of meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Every detail was thought of, and we would highly recommend this property. We will definitely return in the future!

Summary: This historic and charming home was perfect for our family gathering. We were four adults who like to spread out, with two more siblings staying nearby. We had a nice dinner in the beautiful dining room with a big fire in the gas fireplace, after cocktails in the family room with another big gas fire. The beds were extremely comfortable. Even though the house is olld the heating and air conditioning both worked great. Chris and Jane were immediately accessible if we needed anything. The location was ideal, one block off the main street yet still quiet. We would definitely like to stay here again when we return to NOTL.

Summary: Truly charming property, right in the heart of Niagara on the Lake. Jane was a warm, friendly and welcoming host, who made us feel very much at home.

Susanna P. Sep 17, 2019 12:07:32 PM

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in NOTL. The house was full of history and welcoming decor. Just the right size for my family of four. The host was so accommodating the weeks leading up for the stay, I knew we were in for a special home. All the amenities we needed for morning pancakes and coffee and bbqs when we felt like lounging at home. NOTL is a beautiful town and we enjoyed seeing some theater at the Shaw Festival as well as the vineyards. Lots of great memories made!

Summary: We had a family reunion trip to Niagara on the Lake and loved this property. Lots of charm and history and close to great shops and restaurants. Groceries very close as well. We enjoyed the sunset views from the lake park and tour wineries. I will definitely return and stay here again!!

Summary: Destroyed in the War of 1812, and rebuilt in 1816, this house is full of history and charm. With the newer additions, the house is spacious, large enough for our group of eight guests, and yet feels very cozy. With several common areas in the house and three full bathrooms, we never felt like we were on top of one another. Our favorite room was the one between the kitchen and entry way. The home's garden and courtyard are lovely as well, although we didn't have time to enjoy them as much as we would have liked. I'd 100% recommend this house for family gatherings or groups of responsible adults (being an historic home, there are lots of care instructions). We happened to be there during an intense heat wave so I imagine this isn't a problem most of the time, but the bedrooms upstairs were a little toasty, even with the fans that they have provided. And while the interiors of the house are well appointed and comfortable, the best part about the house is its proximity to bustling Queen Street. Only one block from the main thoroughfare, we could easily walk everywhere in town. Jane and Chris were very helpful throughout our stay and clearly proud, dedicated homeowners. Overall, our experience was 5 star!
