Niagara Falls B&Bs offer something hotels can't — local character and a homemade breakfast

B&Bs around Niagara Falls are usually housed in restored Victorian homes with gardens, fireplaces, and hosts who know which viewpoints are least crowded. You get a made-from-scratch breakfast with local fruit and farm eggs, plus tips that a hotel concierge would never share. Niagara-on-the-Lake, just 20 minutes north of the falls, is packed with beautifully kept B&Bs worth the short drive.
