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.

Stay at Abigail House
The property was easy to locate. The home was situatated perfectly where my family and I could walk to the lake and the quaint shops in the town. The house was clean and comfortable. All family members felt at home. The only thing i would say its the squeakiness of the stairs, aside from that my family and i enjoyed the home. We plan to do it again soon.

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.

Great Location, lovely yard, lots of space, veranda was our spot to visit.
Really enjoyed our stay there. Would totally recommend this property to anyone who was looking to find a spot to stay while in NOTL. One item that we felt was a slight inconvenience was our suitcases we were coming from a conference and taking an Uber to the property and no where to drop off our luggage on day of check in and were not able to store our luggage on day of departing. With the money spent nightly I wish there was a little more wiggle room. We managed it with a very kind neighbor who happened to see us pulling our luggage.

Wonderful Txsgvg weekend with Seniors and adults, lovely get away
It worked out brilliantly for 3 adults and two seniors. Having a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor was wonderful. So happy we were able to spend the long weekend this way. Next time we will bring ice for the first night's cocktails. Only suggestions: main floor bedroom needs two bedside tables of some sort and the 24 inch oven is small and slow. Fyi you need some tree work done ( huge hollow limb is over hanging the carriage house) and sadly it looks like the boxwood in the back yard have a terminal case of blight. Sorry, we had a gardener and a very old tree man in our group so it was noticed! Thank you again
