If you want to enjoy a peaceful stay with a Niagara Riverfront view and quick access to either Buffalo or Niagara Falls destinations then this is a must stay! The home decor is both exquisite and impeccably clean with your every need met and all communication with the host was rapidly responsive. Check in and out was easy and the kitchen and entire home is well stocked. I was born and raised in North Tonawanda and I brought my clan of 10 from the PNW to celebrate my 70th birthday. I wanted my grandchildren to experience some of my same cherished childhood memories and this riverviewcottage was the perfect home. We will definitely return! A more than 5 star rating! Thank you for sharing your home!

I am terribly sorry again! I did sent on vrbo app but the check in message never got delivered. I was on a long flight when you check in and could not answer your call due to no wifi on board.

Tai was a great host! His property provided everything we needed, including lots of extra towels, kitchen supplies, blankets, a cool little Bluetooth speaker, and even some fun games to play with the kids. The house is beautifully decorated! We enjoyed having our morning coffee in the cozy front room watching the world go by. Also enjoyed grabbing ice cream from Mississippi Mudds and walking across the street to the park by the river. The third floor attic bedroom was a hit with the kids—they loved having their own “apartment” with a separate air conditioning system so it stayed nice and cool during the night. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend this property.One thing to note is that the house is located on a main thoroughfare, so I’d either suggest providing or recommend bringing noise machines for each of the bedrooms to drown out the morning traffic. Also, there is a strict no-shoes rule in the house but it appeared not everyone respected this rule judging by the color of our socks by the end of the day.
