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.

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.

Incredible location!
We have stayed in many different homes in NOTL but this is the gem! The homeowner was always accessible and responded quickly. The house was a perfect size for our family and the yard was ideal for our young grandsons to play and run. We did not need to drive once we parked our cars as the shopping and amazing theaters were steps away. We will definitely be returning!

Weekend get away in NOTL
The house and property was beautiful - online listing 100% accurate (I would even say nicer in person!). It was a breeze communicating with the property manager. For downtown NOTL, the location is amazing. We stayed as a family for a wedding, and the house comfortably sleeps 8 (4 couples, though only one king bed). The only, very minor, issue was getting ready for the wedding - not enough mirrors for the females! But all in all, a wonderful place and our stay was great!

To bad it's an old smelly moldy unmaintained home
When we arrived we were supposed to call for the code they didn't answer went to an outdated answering machine.Aftet I contacted VRBO and tried again they answered.Onece we entered the home it has an old musty moldy smell probably due to the outside maintenance being so poorly.We did not have WiFi after contacting the owner and staying on the phone over a half an hour they told us we will need to be there between 11-4 the next day to get it fixed and that wasn't happening and the owner wasn't going to meet them either so we had no Internet during our stay.I texted the owner told them the master sink was clogged the stove vent didn't work upstairs tub didn't hold water and garbage can was broken but they didn't seem to care because they sent no one to fix it.

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.

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.

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..

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.
