Great stay in great location

Our family stayed at Governor's Walk during our recent visit to the Niagara area. We loved being right in the middle of everything in NOTL. What a great town. The house was clean, comfortable, and fit our group of 7 very well. Our kids appreciated their own twin beds, and the adults were comfortable in the queen bedrooms. There was plenty of space to spread out or be together. The house is very walkable to anything we wanted to do in town, and also on a very quiet street. We had no problems, and would love to come back!

Bike trip

We had a wonderful stay at Governor’s Walk. There were 4 couples and we had plenty of room. It was so nice that everyone had their own bathroom. The location is great. We walked around town and accessed the river trail easily.

For years our 4 couples have been going north in January for a weekend…as we have aged, we are finding we enjoy wineries and good restaurants more than slogging through snow….this has been a fantastic property as our base. Thank you for sharing…we well be back…

A great location

We had a group of friends 55+ yrs old stay in this quaint home. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the ambiance of the older home with a collection of old furniture. The bathrooms are updated and clean and we all were very comfortable in our beds. Only a block from the main street with shops and restaurants. Would recommend this home to family and friends.

Fabulous House

Great house for families. Lots of beds and bathrooms so it was great when traveling with 5 adults. Can't beat the location. A short walk to the main street, food and shops. There are lots of stairs so if you are disabled it may be hard to navigate. Having a washer and dryer were a real plus and the full kitchen was very helpful. Pretty much everything you would need was provided. Clean and centrally located. Wonderful atmosphere and very unique. Thanks for a great stay!

Ideal Location

This is a very nice home located only a short walk from the charming downtown and theaters. The neighborhood is filled with similar classic homes. The house is surprisingly large with both porch and balcony areas, as well as four bedrooms and a sizeable family room. The bathrooms are updated with granite countertops. The house itself has the feel of a family home that you can stay in rather than one simply furnished to be let out. There was room for at least three cars in the driveway. You won't need to drive to theaters or to many nice restaurants. We highly recommend this property.
