About this property

Location, location, location. Welcome to one of the best locations in Niagara on the lake. The Bissell Cottage is only five blocks from shopping and dining on historic Queen Street (far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town), minutes away from spectacular lakefront views where Lake Ontario and the Niagara River meet, and we're only one block from the best walking/riding trails in NOTL. We have all the amenities to make your ladies weekends, family celebration, or getaways memorable. The Wine tour companies will pick you up, and drop you off, and everything else is within walking distance. Everyone says we're the best kept secret in NOTL.

Wonderful place!

My husband and I stayed at Roland’s place for a mini getaway. It was in the perfect location and very close to the town and shops, we even walked to dinner one night! Roland is so nice and left us some things to make us feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend staying here and we hope to be back when the weather is warmer!

Great Spot

We had an amazing time in NOTL! Was a great spot to stay in town but gave us enough space to spread out but close enough to everything. Great neighborhood, close to all the action and walking distance to downtown. Roland was a great host. We didn’t stay long but house and grounds were welcoming and Roland was always in touch if we needed anything. Wish we could have staying longer! We would love to come back!

Tranquil stay in NOTL

A small group of us (two couples) had a great relaxing weekend as we attended an Aston Martin event in NOTL. The property was exactly as advertised and our host was so welcoming and hospitable. The house had all of the basics anyone would need and more to ensure a pleasurable stay. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful place to stay in Niagara on the Lake

Our host Roland thought of all details we would need for our weekend girls get away! We appreciated the bottled water in the refrigerator, snacks to cords to charge a variety of electronic devices and flowers and welcome greeting upon arrival . The location Is an easy 15 minutes from downtown and 2 minute walk to Pillar and Post. Highly recommend!

The Host Has Thought of Everything

We loved our stay at Roland’s property. It was immaculate, well located, and truly had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked and little touches, like a phone charger, were so appreciated. Roland was a great communicator and very kind to allow us to check-in early since the property was free. Overall, a lovely stay. We’ll definitely be back!

Girl's Getaway

We could not have loved this house more! Check-in was easy and the place was spotless and well equipped with not only the basics but some extras in the kitchen such as water, coffee, tea, spices, olive oil and snacks. The beds were comfortable and there were more than enough towels for everyone. Location is great, a short walk to everything. We are already talking about our next visit!

Absolutely Excellent

I rented this property with my mom and sister for a girls weekend and could not be happier with the experience. The house was exactly what we needed and was clean and beautiful. You can tell the care that was put into maintaining this property. Roland, the owner, lives next door and was very kind and accommodating. The house was equipped with all the day to day items we needed including special touches for protein bars, coffee, creamer, and a fridge full of water. We will absolutely be coming back for future trips.

Perfect Cosy Cottage

Roland's property is a perfect little retreat! Ridiculously clean and neat, and with so many thoughtful touches (Creamers! USB-C and Lightning charging cables!!) Great communication with our host, too. We can't say enough good things about our stay. Our one regret was that in November, the weather didn't allow us to take advantage of the large front and back decks.

About the host

Hosted by Roland Bissell

Greetings. My name is Roland. I am retired. I was lucky enough to purchase the family home where I grew up in NOTL. I renovated my family home in 2012 and was able to purchase my grandmothers home next door in 2015. We renovated my grandmothers home in 2022 and called it Bissell's Hideaway. Our guests tell us that we have one of the best locations in NOTL, the property appears as in the photos, and it is fully equipped to cook and eat in (including a selection of spices). We're located on a quiet tree lined street. The property is 700 square feet, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and it's perfect for those weekend getaways for one or two couples and we've hosted many ladies weekend getaways too.

If you are looking for clean, charming, great location, then Bissell's Hideaway is the perfect spot for you and your family & friends.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! We're minutes away from spectacular lakefront views where Lake Ontario and the Niagara River meet. Bissell's Hideaway is fully stocked, comes with a BBQ, air fryer, Keurig Coffee, Real Cream, lots of spices, and all of the cooking utensils you'll need.

What makes this property unique

Five blocks to the main street and the Olde Angel Inn
One half a block to the Pillar and Post Inn & Spa
One block from a walking path that runs from Niagara on the lake to Fort Erie
Fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities you'll need
A shed to store your bikes
A front porch to enjoy your coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening
or for people watching
Seven blocks to the golf course
One kilometer to Two Sisters and Peller Estates wineries
Close enough to walk to the main street but far enough to avoid the traffic
