I have stayed in a few properties along the lake for the past 10 years, often twice a year. The house is much bigger than I expected, the bedrooms were very large with tons of storage space and closet space. I appreciated the attention to detail from bath products, many towels of various sizes, binoculars, books, more games than I would ever have at home, coffee, tea, sugar and a wealth of kitchen supplies. Even though I didn't use it the iHome charging stations at each bedside table was very thoughtful and practical. A spectacular sunrise as seen from the bedroom adds to the beauty of this home. Big picture windows enhance the view. Close to everything we wanted to do in the Buffalo, Niagara area. An excellent location for families, friends and those who just want to relax and get away, also perfect for seniors and those who wish to have everything on one level, easily accessible.
Great place to stay. Host was excellent at communication. House had a ton of amenities, especially for families and smaller children. Location was walking distance to good food, live entertainment, and a marina with a pier. We loved it and would definitely stay again.
Place was cozy and clean with beautiful views. Our family had a lovely time enjoying the lake and using the home to eat most meals. Some outdated plumbing fixtures that caused a problem but the owner was very responsive. Would consider staying here again!
We are 4 senior women who have been friends since kindergarten and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, well equipped with everything we needed. The view is spectacular and so enjoyed morning coffee on the patio. We have already booked a stay for next year.
Great location. Walked to Brownies for ice cream multiple times, Also, walked to the boat house for dinner and drinks:) Would totally stay again. The only thing I would suggest a clean up of the patio area before guest stay. All the furniture outside was covered in spider webs and bird poop. But besides that we had a great stay!
My family enjoyed this wonderful property. The views are amazing and we loved the layout. The hosts have thought of everything, there were games, books and guides. We can't wait to return.
It would be difficult to imagine a better home base for our stay in Western NY. We were (2) families of four (8 people total) Including tweens and infants. The home is larger (and nicer) than the photos would indicate. Plenty of private and communal living space. The location on the lake is exceptional. Beds are comfortable. Host is very friendly and attentive. We have nothing but nice things to say! Hopeful we will have the opportunity to stay again. Thank you for everything!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. Property is very clean and well appointed and extremely comfortable. As cottage owners ourselves, we appreciate a well kept property and strive to leave any rented units well kept upon our departure. We will be re-booking for future visits to the area.
Beautiful views of Lake Ontario. They have a nice fire pit overlooking the lake.
Same group of friends have stayed at this house multiple times. Always clean, well stocked and comfortable.
Multiple router repeaters & bedside iphone chargers were much appreciated. Lakeviews enhanced by beautiful artwork. The kitchen/family room thermostat is separate from the hallway NEST thermostat for the bedroom âannexâ. Canât beat being lulled to sleep by lapping waves. The short rural commute âhomeâ was relaxing after playing tourist. Try the free 60min tour of CityHall by Explore Buffalo. The Darwin Martin house (complex of 3 FLW-designed buildings) has amazing art-glass & decorative hearths. East Aurora is a charming village & home to the Roycroft arts & crafts guild. Crossing into Canada over the Lewiston-Queenston bridge was quick & easy (bring your passport!). Only regret is that Brownieâs was closed for the season.
The house was clean, well appointed. The layout of the house is great for those that are early birds or like to sleep in. Bedrooms are on one side and communal space on the other side. The kitchen had functional incidentals like seasoning, spices, sugar for cooking and dish soap for cleaning. Showers had shampoo and conditioners.
The owner includes all directions from VRBO in a binder for checkout procedures. The yard has an absolutely SPECTACULAR view of the lake. The sunrises are amazing.
As the organizer of our trip I had to reach out to the owner, Kim, directly and she was wonderfully warm, friendly and helpful. The house is close to restaurants and the Warfane Marina where we had our fishing trip booked.
Stores, markets and great restaurants are nearby.
We went to downtown Buffalo and Niagra Falls and both are less than an hour drive. The Airport was also a 40-50 minute drive depending on traffic. If we book for Salmon with our favorite Captain, Vince Silvaggi we will stay here again. I may even bring my family. In short, great spot, great for family, friends for short or long stays.
View of the lake is absolutely breathtaking, it was so relaxing to sit in the backyard and watch boats go by. Our teenagers had a blast swimming in the lake, using life jackets and paddleboards provided by the hosts. The house is clean, comfortable, and well stocked in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with the Kim was very easy. We enjoyed going to a few of the roadside farmers markets to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. Beautiful place to make memories with your family!
Perfect location on te laje with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Beds comfortabke and bathrooms equipped with a lot of staples except could have had a few more hand towels.
Kitchen adequate and patio nice for sitting and looking at the lake. Walking to restaurant.
This was the perfect location in the cutest town! Truly a hidden gem that we will visit again! We came for a Bills game but also visited Niagara Falls and Six Flags. It's totally worth the drive to escape the city life and stay in this quaint little town! The home is older, but that's part of its charm. Truly a cozy home with the best views of the water!
Well kept, easy to find host. Great location. Sits next to water treatment plant, but has no impact on beauty of the property. Lakefront bedroom remains fairly warm despite central AC. I would definitely stay here again!
I grew up in a small neighboring town just outside Niagara Falls and left the area to attend and eventually graduate from SUNY Geneseo. I relocated to Dallas, TX for a career opportunity but have returned to the area every summer to take in its beauty and many local attractions. Now married with small children of my own, our family sought out and purchased this vacation property. While we reside in Dallas, local relatives manage this property.
We sought out this property because of its personal history with my family. It is the same property I would walk past with my dad on our way from the ice cream shop out to the end of the pier. We would wonder what it would be like to own and live in such a beautiful house with such a beautiful view. Western New York and this particular region hold so much natural beauty and provide so many affordable healthy activities that my husband and I want our children to share in these experiences. We share this home with you as a special place to vacation, reconnect with family and create special memories year after year.
The location is perfect! Coming from Dallas, TX it is wonderful to enter a relaxing small town atmosphere yet still have access to several activities, attractions, restaurants and shops as you would in a city. It is located across the street from a bustling boathouse, quaint upscale restaurant, and several small shops. Need some fresh vegetables? Drive down the road and stop at one of the many roadside stands whose farmers still accept payment by the honor system. We appreciate this home's proximity to Canada as well as the neighboring U.S. cities such as Lockport, Lewiston, Niagara Falls & Buffalo (quick access to Canada can be made via the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge).
