Enjoy gracious hospitality with modern amenities in a Georgian style house

Jim and Susan Hoyle invite you to experience our warm Niagara hospitality. Whether you visit our town to savour the ambience of world-class theatre, award-winning wineries or for a romantic getaway, the Duncan~Quinn House will offer you a place to relax and unwind on your vacation.

Duncan-Quinn House was inspired by Colonial days gone by. The inn is similar to the Old Williamsburg Colonial houses and early Niagara-on-the Lake homes of yester year. The interior schemes that bring the most pleasure are those that evoke a sense of the past in their combination of subdued colors, elegant lines, and motifs borrowed from traditional late 19th-century English colonial, and French design. By using a combination of period, vintage, and reproduction English, Canadian and American Colonial furnishings the experience is complete. With the addition of Oak floors, mullioned high windows, reproduction antique doors, high ceilings, and hand-stenciled furniture, the fantasy takes shape. Classic Georgian Colonial exterior architecture with dormer windows, and clapboard siding all lend itself to this period and style. We have strived to create quaint, rooms ensuring our quests feel this little bit of history. Duncan-Quinn House offers comfort and tranquility while you stay in historic Niagara-on-the Lake.
