Old Town Charm With Modern Amenities Steps To Downtown

In the Heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake

The Flynn House is situated steps away from the quaint downtown Queen Street area where you will find world class restaurants, the Shaw Festival and local boutiques. It is also conveniently located near some of Ontario’s most famous wineries.

It was built in the 1860's by George Flynn (a shoemaker) for his family and later during World War II, it was the meeting place for the Knights of Columbus. Rich in history, the home has recently been restored to feature modern amenities while maintaining the property’s old world charm such as wide plank floors and French doors.

The Flynn House sleeps up to 8 people and features two full bathrooms and one powder room with a sink and toilet, four bedrooms, a large dining room and living room and a fully equipped kitchen.

We offer a smoke-free, pet-free environment. All towels and linens are included. Open year-round.

Looking for something more quaint? You made be interested in our sister property - The Swinton Cottage - located just a few blocks away.

Wonderful Ladies Weekend
This is my third time staying in the Flynn house for a friend’s getaway and it did not disappoint. The house is beautiful, location is amazing and check-in is a breeze. We hope to come back again next year!

Perfect home near all the action
Everything about the house was lovely, especially the outside table and chairs in the secluded backyard! But most important for my friends and me was the location location location! We parked the car in the driveway when we arrived, and there it stayed till we departed. We (all over 75) walked to all the plays and restaurants, and even the lakeside, with ease..

Very good location, close to main strip. Check-in and communication with host was very smooth. The house has nice charm and was well maintained. The bedrooms were spacious but quite bright - could perhaps benefit from some room darkening shades (especially since we were travelling with small kids who nap during the day). The hood to the gas stove was broken during our stay, part was on order. Otherwise kitchen was well stocked. Overall we had a very nice stay :)

What a lovely home!
This is an absolutely charming home. The kitchen is very well equipped (glassware, pots/pans/knives/utensils, etc.). The bedrooms are spacious, and the beds were very comfortable (medium-firm) - with lots of extra blankets and pillows. The bathrooms were all very clean, and the showers had great water pressure, and there were soaps and shampoo/conditioner included. The photos accurately portray the rooms. This is a keeper.

Enjoyable stay/great location!
We recently spent two nights and enjoyed our accommodations. the house is lovely, clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that the 4th bedroom had a pull out couch that is very uncomfortable for sleeping. My sister, who was the unlucky one in this room, eventually had to put the mattress on the floor to try and sleep. She was not a 'happy camper'!! That was the only downside to our visit.

Beautiful house, great location
Can't beat the location of this house! House was spacious and comfortable, well decorated and well supplied kitchen. We BBQ'd and ate in the backyard as well which was lovely. My only small suggestion to the owners would be that it would be great if the windows had screens so you could open them for a nice breeze if weather was appropriate. I live in an equally old house with similar windows and have screens which I love. Just a thought ;) We were however very very comfortable all around, loved the old books to explore in the house as well.

Lovely farmhouse
Walking to everything was great! Beds all comfortable! Very clean, bright and tastefully decorated. The group of seven would recommend a “Welcome Booklet” be left in the house for a few things: where the “starter coffee” is, where the thermostat is (we were very cold the first evening and thought the floor warmer in the kitchen was the thermostat brr , indicating the position of the floor warmer and how to use it (we were able to Google). a toaster, local tourist brochures, list of attractions and restaurants etc would be helpful and make planning more expedient. Wrote twice via VRBO with questions to better plan our grocery shopping and never received an answer.

Good and Bad
As a group of 5 well travelled women, we had the opportunity to stay in many VRBOs. Of our most recent week long stay in your historical home, we have a number of concerns, many of which have been noted by previous guests as far back as 2016. We feel addressing the following issues would enhance guest experience. The house had a musty smell from the basement. No hooks were provided in the bathrooms for hanging wet towels. Wanting to be respectful of your property, a binder would have been helpful to understand how the house functioned. For example, we never did get the tvs to work consistently, no outdoor containers to put garbage or recyclables were provided. Not noted by guests so perhaps a new issue, was the apparent noise of animals heard in the walls. When advised, you mentioned you would call in exterminators to examine this. We hope that you have been able to resolve this successfully. We appreciated the renovations that you have completed in the house but the outside house and grounds are in need of attention. Location was fabulous, room size incredible and 3 bathrooms much appreciated for a group of our size. Beds and lines were lovely.

Great location
Our family of has attended the Shaw Festival for many years. In the last 2 years we have grown into a group of 5 adults and so finding a rental house within walking distance of all the theatres and restaurants and shops on Queen Street was ideal. The house was - as described - large and comfortable - 4 bedrooms- 2 complete bathrooms and 1 water closet. After the evening show we would gather in the dining room to discuss the performances. It allowed us to interact as a group without being cramped into a tiny space. We would love to return another Season.
