The location of this property cannot be beat. Close to everything there is to do in NOTL. The house itself is pretty dated — squeaky floors, terrible internet, tub not draining and outlets in strange places. There is a good bit of room in the house — several bedrooms. All told, I would recommend it, primarily for the location. If you need internet, absent an upgrade, this is not the place for you.

Great Location!

Nice century home in a fantastic location. We took our 87 year old mom for a girls weekend and had a great time. Loved that it was so close to downtown. It was a cool weekend so we couldn't use the sunporch, but it would be a great space in the warm weather, Communication was great and check in was a breeze.

A quaint small house

As soon as I stepped foot into the Abigail house, I was brought back to my grandparents' home. The owners have maintained its charm with a lot of the original build. We absolutely enjoyed our werkend. A fitting home for our family reunion.

Older house in a great location

The house is old, so is the furniture and actually so is most things in the house, but you cant beat the location. It is about a block and a half from the main strip of niagara on the lake. We were able to walk to everything. Once you got past the dingy kitchen and well used furniture it was a great spot and met all our needs. We had a great time here.
