Loved the Mid-Century modern vibes! Very clean, had everything we needed! Walking distance to everything was great. Did not like the neighborhood - mostly run down and commotion/noise in the streets at night that did not make us feels comfortable.
This is a jewel of a renovated house kept in character. As my 92-year old mom said, "They have thought of everything." Check-in was flawless, the house was spotless, the kitchen was beyond expectation for equipment needs, the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, and the bathrooms were large, clean, and well-equipped.
Great location to both sides. Only concern was the neighbor to the right, very sketchy, believe drugs or something when trying to sleep, etc. maybe put tv in the third bedroom to eliminate noise? Just a thought. Mouse in kitchen, but we had a blast. Thanks!
Brautiful home, lots of charm and character. Convenient to everything. Lots of room to spread out and relax. Fun trip. Don't let the area worry you. We felt totally safe and nobody gave us any slight thought of being scared or afaid. Had great tours. Fortunas for dinner is a must do!
My family loved the house. Lots of wood beams and floors. Diverse furniture that warmed our hearts. Great layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Carroll replied promptly when the probate tank was empty and a full tank was installed within a short period of time. Easy access to the aquarium and trolleys; and walking distance to Canada.
The only downfall was the abandoned and run down houses in the area. No issues with anyone in the area.
We enjoyed our stay at The Mint. Was a short two minute drive to the Falls and Rainbow Bridge. The house was exactly as listed, and the pictures didn't do it justice. So much room for everyone to spread out and had was furnished with beautiful but comfortable furniture. The owner was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. If we are ever up near the Falls again, we would definitely stay at The Mint!
Loved the old fashioned feel of the home. Very clean. Very nice property owners. The only concern we had was the location. We didn't have any problems at all at the house, but we aren't used to living in a diverse city community.
A great hub for our girls trip to enjoy the Falls and wineries. Owners were quick to respond when we blew a breaker. Thatâs what happens when you have six ladies getting ready at the same time! Previous reviews mentioned the neighborhood was sketchy, but we felt safe. highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was huge, and it was nice to have space to spread out after traveling in a cramped car. Neighborhood was just as described in listing but didnât feel unsafe. It was so great to get to all the Niagara sites by just walking a few blocks. It was a little sad to see all the abandoned places in town due to the decline in population, so I am glad we could support revitalization of the area. It was a bonus to have a washer/dryer there too.
We enjoyed relaxing in the house after days of sightseeing, aquarium exploring, Maid of the Mist ride, and drenching at Cave of the Winds.
Thank you for allowing us to stay!
Spacious downstairs rooms for enjoying family time. Great layout for flexibility in sleeping needs of group. Good kitchen for meal preps. Clean, welcoming and a delight yo spend time in. Perfect for families.
We really had the privilege of staying in this historical house. It is fascinating and stimulating for those who appreciate history and architecture. It took use a while to comprehend and navigate through the two stories house. Very clean and plenty of space and furniture. Carroll was very welcoming and cooperative, answered all our questions and inquired about the house and the neighborhood. If We come back again to the area, we will not hesitate to select this house for our stay if it is available. Our best regards and wishes.
We loved this house. It was big, comfortable and homey for our family. The owners did a great job fixing it back up. The original woodwork and other turn of the century elements of the house are beautiful. The owners were wonderful, friendly and responsive. The location was convenient with easy walks and short drives. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Carroll and Andre!
The house was perfect for our family of 8. Lots of space and the house was so cute! We would definitely stay here again. The home was very clean and well kept.
The only negative I would share is that I would not walk to the property after dark. Some areas between the falls and the house are a bit sketchy.
Carroll spent most of her career in Human Resources but gave it all up to open a hostel in Niagara Falls- leaving the wonderful California weather behind but gaining a wonderful husband. Andre is from Germany and we found each other here! We have since expanded from the hostel and added a few vacation rentals to our endeavors. We think they are a great alternative to a sterile hotel - more like home away from home.
Over the last several years, we have purchased several homes and brought them back to life. When Andre saw this one on the market, we thought long and hard about it since it needed a lot of work. But could not let it go. It is a beautiful old home in a fabulous location near the Falls. This is an area undergoing revitalization and we are thrilled to be a part of it.
We are fully permitted and certified by the City of Niagara Falls that we meet all building and fire codes required to operate a vacation rental. Many listings in Niagara Falls are not legal, so be careful. Keep your family safe and be sure to book with those operators that can show you their permit and certificate of occupancy.
The house is LARGE. It is our only house that will accommodate 8-12 people. There are 2 full and 1 half bath and two staircases (front and back). It is ideal for large families or reunions with family/friends. It is also a great place for preparing for a wedding at the Falls. Plenty of space for all.
