Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### LAURI A. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie Sep 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Bonnie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [White Oaks Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-White-Oaks-Resort-Spa.h444572.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Marriott-Niagara-Falls-Fallsview-Hotel-Spa.h120155.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-The-Westin-Ottawa.h9572.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Oaks Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Green-Oaks-Bed-And-Breakfast.h2655829.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Westin-Harbour-Castle.h10931.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Toronto.h8301308.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Toronto-Downtown.h21783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Toronto.h19371.Hotel-Information) > > [Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Toronto-Marriott-City-Centre-Hotel.h17503.Hotel-Information) > > [One King West Hotel & Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-One-King-West-Hotel-Residence.h1234327.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Toronto-Downtown.h7352.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Niagara-On-The-Lake by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h21599984.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Fallsview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Sheraton-Fallsview-Hotel.h194534.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Royal York](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Fairmont-Royal-York.h17289.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Niagara Falls Fallsview](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Niagara-Falls-Fallsview.h918001.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h1327316.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbourne Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Woodbourne-Inn.h14634695.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Toronto-Downtown-Centre.h26247.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Sheraton-Centre-Toronto-Hotel.h23541.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Lamplighter-Inn-Conference-Centre.h22270.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence & Conference Centre - Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Residence-Conference-Centre-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h2729930.Hotel-Information) > > [Chelsea Hotel, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Chelsea-Hotel.h27994.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Great-Canadian-Casino-Resort-Toronto.h94900038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hilton-Niagara-FallsFallsview-Hotel-Suites.h463153.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Niagara-On-The-Lake by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h21511334.Hotel-Information) > > [Caesars Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Caesars-Windsor.h2232457.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Toronto Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-InterContinental-Toronto-Centre.h4978.Hotel-Information) > > [Pan Pacific Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Pan-Pacific-Toronto.h19145.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Downtown-Toronto.h4796.Hotel-Information)
