perfect location
This was our second stay at Sweet reTreat and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Its location is unbeatable! We never had to move our car in the five days we were there. The house is always clean and well supplied with necessities. Directions had one small flaw. the directions indicate that you can enter via the front door - but the actual way to enter turned out to be on the side. Since we had been there in the previous year, we knew about the side entrance but if we were new to the house it would had been a bit difficult - but not impossible - to figure out what to do. Elsie is always very helpful and pleasant. We will likely engage Sweet reTreat for next year.

The Sweet reTreat was perfectly located just steps away from Queen Street where there are many restaurants and shops. If you stroll the other way, you’re minutes away from the Royal Queen Park. The house was not only immaculate but also provided the comforts of home. When we arrived, the WiFi was down. Jason, the manager, was responsive to solving the problem. When returning to NOTL, we would definitely stay there again.

Larger beds (queen insted of double ) wood be a good amelioration. We had to go get coffee the first morning because there were none. The front door was not easy to open with the 9 numbers of the code. .

A lovely house with decidedly creaky floors
Sweet Dreams is in a perfect location to enjoy NOTL - and the house itself is quite large. In fact - it’s large enough to profit from some rethinking. For example - the kitchen is huge - with a nice sized pantry - but the tiny table provided makes the space feel empty. This might not matter if you are only staying for a short while, but cooking does become challenging with the lack of prep surfaces. An island or a larger table would certainly help out. The outside eating area is quite handy - but the chairs are surprisingly uncomfortable. We ended up having to drag cushions outside in order to use the chairs. And despite a good search, no outside cushions could be found. The floor in the upstairs is very creaky - as is the staircase. That makes it easy to wake up folks trying to grab a bit of sleep. Other reviewers have also noted this - but it’s hard to describe exactly how noisy the floors actually are. Sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom between the two bedrooms was more challenging then I’d imaged it would be. One of the doors is directly in front of the toilet - the other at the fair end of the long thin space. So knocking loudly was really the only option. If you locked either door - you looked folks out later in the day because it’s so easy to forget to unlock. We did face challenges. The living room is lovely - and very large - with a good sized TV. The window ‘bed’ is great as well. But curiously - the sofas are set at right angles to the TV. I wonder why.

Fantastic Location!
We loved the charm of this house and property! It is located less than half a block to the main street of town with all of its restaurants, boutiques, pubs, and theaters!! In fact two doors down from the house are two doughnut/pastry shops (Yumm)! The house was equipped with anything you might need while staying there. There is free private parking and a cute back garden to share morning coffee or evening relaxation time. We loved it!

I already sent an email, inside VERY comfortable, clean, nicely appointed. Outside needs attention, lawn not mowed, flower beds need some tender care it sure would have made sitting outside in the cozy space much more enjoyable. Also, the patio need badly power washing, the tree droppings along with the wet, just about went on my ass walji g they are so slippery. We are looking for the one place we can return to several times a year since our previous B&B owners sold and moved....this could be the place with a bit more attention to detail outside only...inside lovely

We had a wonderful stay at the Sweet Retreat. The location of the property could not be more convenient. The main drag with the shops and restaurants is less than a block away. However, there was never a noise issue. The lake, parks, and even the golf course are an easy walk of only a few blocks. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had a small issue with the shower hose extension bursting. We called the management company who had someone there the same day to fix the issue. My only recommendation is that the management company may want to provide additional towels and blankets. We stayed for over a week and were provided 4 towels in total. There is a washer/dryer but when on vacation you don’t necessarily want to do laundry every day. There were no blankets on the beds, but we did discover one in a closet that we used. Overall our experience was very positive.

Excellent location.Steps from shops and restaurants. There is a doughnut shop and a juice and coffee place with excellent homebaking just a couple of doors down.Spacious heritage house. Very comfortable property. Everything we needed in the kitchen though perhaps a couple of extra wine glasses might be helpful. Due to the chilly fall weather we did not use the sunroom or the garden but I imagine they would be perfect in the summer.We had a small problem with the lock box on arrival but it was dealt with very promptly. We loved this property and would definitely stay there again on a return to Niagara on the Lake.

Lovely home with a perfect location
We were very happy with our stay. The house is adorable. It suited our needs for walking to the shops, golfing, biking and visiting the wineries. We would stay here again. The only thing that was odd was the very, very squeaky floors upstairs in the master bedroom. It was not a huge deal for us and we figured out quickly where to walk but it was very noticeable. Again, I still give the property a 5 star rating.
