About this property

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.

A beautiful, historic home complete with all the charm of yesteryear. The location is ideal, no need to get in the car which makes for a true vacation. We all loved everything about it except for we couldn’t find chalk to write a note of gratitude on the kitchen blackboard.

The house needs real renovation so and the owners need to make sure it’s free of mice because clearly there is a mouse living in the house

Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2026
I would strongly recommend that this guest not rent a heritage-style home in the future, as she fails to understand that we go to great lengths to retain the homes' original character. As for the alleged mouse issue, this guest admitted to me that she may have left the kitchen door open and that she did leave leftover food on the kitchen countertop overnight. This property sits on a wooded area where there are field mice, and these mice are being disturbed at the current time as a result of our neighbours undergoing construction and removal of trees. Nevertheless, we quickly addressed the issue even though it was likely caused by their actions, and she was very grateful for our prompt response to her concerns.
