Summerhill House - Next to Queen Street

Located in the very heart of Old Town, literally steps from Queen Street with its shops, restaurants, and theatres! Note, prices are subject to change daily.



This is a spacious charming house for families or a group of friends to relax on the front porch and watch the horse and carriage stroll by. Or let loose and have some fun in the generous sized games room with foosball table and air hockey!



-3 Bedrooms – 1 King bed, 2 Queen beds

-3.5 Bathrooms – Tub shower combination ensuite and 2 Walk-in shower ensuites (every bedroom has its own TV and ensuite!)

-Hosts up to 6 guests (including infants and children)

-Private parking for up to 2-3 vehicles, contactless check in

-Central heating and air conditioning

-High speed WiFi and 5 Samsung Smart TVs with access to streaming services, including a live TV app.



Summerhill House is one of the top rated and most sought-after vacation homes in Niagara! It is a historic home with renovations and updates to add all the luxury and comfort of a modern home. Exposed wooden beams throughout provide some of the architecture that gives the old-world charm.



Walk up to the inviting front porch that has Adirondack chairs (or Muskoka chairs if you are Canadian), a great place to sit with your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.



The foyer spills into the living area with a big cozy 'L' shaped couch and a sitting chair, with a TV. A charming round dining table perfect for gathering, playing a good old fashioned board game. There is a two-piece bath on the main level for your convenience.



Continuing to the rear of the home is a spacious, fully equipped open kitchen and dining room, with a larger dining table. Kitchen includes:



-Drip-coffee maker and kettle with enough coffee and tea to get you started

-Sugar packets, salt, and pepper

-Microwave, stove, fridge, toaster, and dishwasher

-Dishes, pots and pans, silverware and glasses (including wine glasses)

-Non-stick spray, paper towels, dish soap, tea towels, dish cloths



This is a wonderful place to watch that cook in your family or for everyone to help out. Patio doors lead out to the back yard with a deck that has seating for all your guests, gas BBQ/grill, and a garden area.



A flight of carpeted stairs leads you to the 2nd level to all 3 bedrooms. The first two bedrooms have queen beds with luxurious bed linens. The front queen bedroom has a walk out to the large, covered balcony that has comfortable seating overlooking King Street. The third bedroom has a king bed and is located at the back of the house overlooking the backyard.



The lower level has a generous sized games room with foosball table, air hockey, and another TV.



Laundry area is tucked away in the corner of the games room behind closet doors:



-Laundry soap, stain remover and dryer sheets



Bedding, towels, hair dryer, facial and toilet tissue, shampoo and hand soap are also provided.



Located just steps away from the corner of King St and Queen St, Summerhill House is across the street to Balzac's Coffee shop and The Irish Harp Pub.



Location has so much to do with making a holiday really something special. Walk to any of the Shaw Festival's theatres, shops, and restaurants on Queen St.



If you'd prefer nature walks over walking on Queen St, the trails are just steps away!



So, if you are looking for a vacation rental, look no further than Summerhill House.



Summerhill House is a licensed short-term rental in the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Lic #020-2025

Property was clean, comfortable and location is an easy walk to Queen street for shopping, eating and coffee! Also just a short drive to wineries! Enjoyed our stay at this comfortable home. Would stay here again! Would love to see the kitchen better appointed, wine glasses as an example, and I would recommend ear plugs for guests in the front bedroom.

Wonderful long weekend on NOTL

We were happy to be back in NOTL and able to stay at one of our favorite places - Summerhill. Our children loved the basement game room and we enjoyed the upper porch. You cannot beat this location being steps away from the best of the village.

Beautiful NOTL

Five adults totally enjoyed attending the Shaw , wine tastings, shopping and dinner in town and wineries. Rental home exactly as posted and location was perfect to walk to plays and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the streets of the town. Particularly enjoyed the balcony for wine and charcuterie in the afternoon and coffee in the morning. Will definitely return again ☀️

Wonderful house in perfect location

We stayed at Summer Hill House for a long weekend. This was our second time staying in NOTL. The house was perfect for my family and spacious enough for everyone to have their own space. Everything was clean and as pictured. We were one block off the Main Street area and loved watching the horses go by with the carriage. Rented bikes while we were there and had great access to the trails going from NOTL to the falls. Would definitely stay here again!!

Could Not be Better!

What a fantastic property! The home (definitely a home, not a house) was beautiful, immaculate, and in an absolutely perfect location. We loved every moment we spent there - from early morning coffee around the large kitchen/dining table to a late glass of wine out on the back deck. Many late mornings/early afternoons were spent on the front porch enjoying the scenery and people watching. We walked everywhere and enjoyed all the shops and parks that were steps away. I can't imagine staying anywhere else should we return to the beautiful Niagara on the Lake.

Excellent location for downtown, wineries and golf!

Beautiful property, great for three couples, and the outside patios were a huge hit! The beautiful and scenic downtown area was a short 2 minute walk away, but we never felt like we were among the crowd as we sat outside since the property is well back from the street. Our crowd wanted to golf at the Niagara club (oldest golf course in North America) and it was a five minute drive away. If you go, stay for breakfast, the dining room has an excellent view of the lake and the food was delish. The kitchen was roomy and fully equipped with a huge fridge. The spacious living room was perfect for gathering and dining. They even provided coffee for the coffeemaker! What a great place - we will be back!

Quarantining in Notl

We were in for the 3 days required while we waited our testing results. There were two porches in the front that we accessed frequently. The back patio was also lovely. The bed linens were high quality and the kitchen utensils were plentiful. Furnishings were nice. The basement play room was nice as well. The carpeting leading upstairs and upstairs hallway need a cleaning and the front porch could use a cleaning or painting. But neither if these issues dampened our stay. Thank you

Lovely Home Close to Everything!

Beautiful property! We loved the front porch for morning coffee and evening beverages. Cleanliness was top notch (except for carpets....which could definitely use a steam clean). Close to the main drag and all the action but still quiet and private. We (3 gals celebrating an early mom's day) would definitely book again!

Our family of 4 adults and 2 children loved everything about our stay at the Summerhill House. House was a perfect size for our family. The kitchen was very spacious, the bedrooms & bathrooms were perfect for us and we enjoyed having the game room and front porches. The location was great for touring town, visiting the many wineries and taking several drives to the Falls. We hope to return again soon.
