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.

Great location and lots of space
This property was center located just steps from everything that matter in the small, beautiful town and few short blocks from the lake. The dining and living room area has a great open space concept that makes family gathering and bonding with a group of family, easy and pleasant. There is not much efficiency for outside bbq but still lovely with lots of outside terrace seating upstairs and downstairs. Only negative is that there is no TV in the area where most people are likely to gather so o would suggest the owners consider adding a TV over the fireplace in n the living room/den area where the dining table is located as that would be helpful for kids as well. Otherwise great space and I would stay again!

Wonderful weekend in NOTL!
Governor's Walk was perfect for our family escape to the Wine and Chocolate events at the wineries. The house provided 4 couples with comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The dining room/family room allowed for great dinners, games and even a murder mystery! We would love to come back when the weather encourages us to use the wonderful terrace! Great location - walking distance to town.
