Historic Niagara Falls B&B with Panoramic Gorge Views
Amenities & Common Spaces
Historic Lion'S Head C1910 offers free WiFi throughout the property and complimentary on-site parking. The grand front porch provides seating with views of the river, while the shared lounge area invites guest interactions. A terrace and garden are available for outdoor relaxation, and fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are installed for safety.
Accommodations
Each of the seven rooms features a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, and soundproofing. The Deluxe Queen Suite and Queen Room with Garden View offer garden or river views, while the One-Bedroom Suite includes a small fridge and microwave. Decor follows the original 1910 architecture with antique furniture, and the house enforces a restriction on children under 14 to maintain a quiet environment.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The B&B is within a 5-minute drive from major attractions, including Niagara Falls, Casino Niagara (1.4 km), and Skylon Tower (1.9 km). Rainbow Bridge is 1.7 km away, and Old Falls Street is 2.4 km from the property. Guests can walk to the falls in approximately 20 minutes, and the WeGo bus route stops nearby for further exploration.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served daily at 8:30 am, featuring gourmet dishes such as eggs benedict, crepes with fruit, and ice cream. The host, Helena, prepares a different menu each morning, and guests often report that breakfast alone made them skip lunch. Conversations with other travelers around the breakfast table are a regular part of the experience.
Guest Experience & Host
Helena, the owner and host, provides personalized recommendations for local sites and offers historical insights about the house. Guest reviews highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the host's quick response to any requests. The property has received multiple 10-out-of-10 ratings for its breakfast, cleanliness, and overall hospitality.

The host's award-winning hospitality and the gorge views elevate the experience, and breakfast is a delicious daily highlight that brings guests together. For a memorable stay with personalized service, this is where to book.”
