We just pulled out from this quaint little cottage after staying six nights. The experience was the best. The cottage is nestled in a quiet wooded creek area.It makes one feel that they are in the middle of nowhere when actually they are just down the road from a bustling town. This place will give you the feel of the country with the convenience of short road trips for shopping. The place was clean and comfortable. The owners were readily available when needed. The house came with amenities that we didn't even think about, we sure are glad the owners did. We can't say enough good things about this place. If you're looking for a get away from the hustle of NYC, Chicago, L.A., or a weekend getaway, it's perfect. Niagara Falls is a short trip away as well. So many sites to see just too little time to see everything. Thanking the owners for offering this treasure. We hope many others will take advantage of this precious little cottage. Cissy and Richard

Such a peaceful cozy house. Well equipped & decorated. All of our needs were met. Slept great in the loft bedroom & enjoyed the deck looking over Random Creek along with the perks of glimpses of wildlife. Would recommend for a couples getaway.

Great escape from hotel life on the road! Quiet clean and peaceful. Just the right size place! Woodstove also makes it cozy! Not a single complaint. Hosts were also great and offered to assist with snow removal. Wasn’t necessary. The large buck in the field behind the house also had me from day one. I enjoyed seeing him, as well as the others, each evening. Will definitely stay here again!

I love this place, I feel like I am in a tree house very peaceful. My son and newest grandson live on Tonawanda Creek Rd so it so convenient as well. Since I am also cooking the kitchen is very well equipped. The only regret, I wish it was available more often!

Nice place!

Great place for me and hubby to be alone, hang out, sit by the creek and go to a lot of sightseeing places in the vicinity. Cute little neighborhood, didn’t even hear any neighbors. Saw deer, ducks and other wildlife. Super relaxing, house was nice and sufficiently supplied.

Parents Weekend at UB

My husband and I stayed at this lovely home for parents' weekend at UB. It was a perfect spot for us. Only 10 minutes from campus, it offered us convenience and solitude. The home is very private and comfortable. Our hosts were very communicative and made us feel welcomed. We will be back!!

Beautiful

Honeymoon for me and my wife. Touring New York state. Location was amazing. Love the cabin. The small touches and inside was gorgeous. Within 30 mins of majority of things we wanted to do while in town. Came from southern Indiana to see Niagara Falls and perfect location for short drive to tourist spots but still have the comfort of not staying in the city. Cozy stay.

Charming little place in a peaceful area

This was a perfect play to stay for a weekend festival and some trips over to Niagara. The home was clean and inviting. The only minor issue we had was that the air conditioner either didn't have a very accurate thermostat, or was simply struggling to keep up with the summer heat. Fortunately we weren't staying in for the most part during daylight so it didn't matter that much.

Amazing find

This cabin was amazing. It started with the great views from the many windows to just sit and relax while watching the creek and wildlife. The kitchen was well stocked with a good set of knives and a wide variety of pans and cookware. For a vegetarian like me that likes to cook this was very helpful. But the best for last, the bed. This bed was so soft and comfortable i was jealous that it was better than my own. I highly recommend staying here and i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
