About this property
Whimsical Yurt near Niagara Falls and Buffalo
Amazing and beautiful yurt right next to the Niagara River in a charming town. The home was built only in 2015 with love and care, personally designed by the owner-builder. There is nothing like this home in the area! If the beautiful wood ceiling won't amaze you then the gorgeous details will. Sleep on a comfortable queen size bed with extra space for one more on a large and comfy couch if needed. Stay in a gorgeous place for the famous Gateway Harbor seasonand Canal Fest!
This is a yurt on a large corner lot. The water view can be seen right from the front windows and is 2 min walk away, if that. There is a large semi-circle driveway shared with another unit (homes are completely separate). You can easily fit two cars here. There is no overnight street parking November to April.
Please note that the TV is a streaming Roku TV with access to 1,000 free live TV domestic and international channels (Buffalo WGRZ is available) as well as any streaming channels you subscribe to (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc.). This is not cable television.
A starter pack of shampoo/conditioner and a small bar of soap is provided for your convenience. Please be sure to bring your own preferred toiletries should you need more than 2 days worth.
As part of our commitment to providing a welcoming experience and aesthetic, we occasionally update the home’s interiors with added touches of design and comfort. While furnishings, wall colors, and decorative details may vary slightly from the photos, each element is thoughtfully selected to include organic greens, soft coffee tones, and natural wood accents. To ensure the highest standard of cleanliness and sophistication, all bed linens are kept in pristine white.
Home is thoroughly first cleaned with a disinfectant solution of bleach and water where possible (commercial grade cleaner elsewhere). Commonly used areas like light switches, handles, door locks, toilets, showers, remotes, etc. are then additionally sanitized with steam. Linens are washed with commercial grade detergent with hot water and mechanically dried on high heat.
There is audible live music from a nearby restaurant starting approximately in May through September. They play at various hours (not all day and not everyday) but the restaurant's operating hours are approximately 11 AM to 8:30 PM, 7 days a week. They have great ice cream!
Stay in a beautiful and historic neighborhood where convenience is just minutes away. A famous carousel museum, antiquing and wonderful restaurants are right in town, 5 mins away. There's even a castle in town! Niawanda Park/Niagara River is just steps from the front door. Playground, other parks, 7/11, supermarket are all a 3 min drive down the road. Target, other big box stores, outlets, SUNY Buffalo, city of Buffalo are just 15 mins away, Niagara Falls, Niagara-Buffalo Airport (BUF) and the Canadian border 20 mins away, Toronto 90 mins away.

The layout of the room and the decor was wonderful. The shower floor needs attention. Tonawanda is a great town. We took advantage of all the local restaurants and taverns. All the local food was fantastic. We would recommend the whimsical yurt to anyone!
Great location, quiet neighborhood and very cool yurt!
The yurt was clean, had all the basic necessities and the location can’t be beat!! We loved the proximity to the river and park as well as Buffalo and Niagara Falls. We’d definitely stay again when we’re back in the area!
Everything was just as the description said. Perfect location to be near the Falls, airport and Highmark Stadium, but not in the mix/hustle of those areas.
Loved this comfortable yurt. Clean and comfortable. Location perfect. Nice walking park a block over along the Niagara River. Convenient location to several quaint eateries. Very close to the falls.Owner communicated well. We had a wonderful vacation. Would highly recommend.
This is a cute little place in a nice quiet town. Perfect location to Niagara Falls and other parks. Niagara Falls was on our bucket list so we get to check it off now 😊
Loved our stay at this VRBO! Cute, close to the Niagara River for walks or just relaxing. A great casual restaurant is right across the street, with live music several nights a week. Really fun!
We loved our stay at the yurt. Adorable place in a great location for those who like to take a walk, run or bike. Nice trail along the Niagara River visible from your location.
Our stay at the yurt in Tonawanda was a charming experience. The yurt itself had all the necessary items as well as a unique audio experience from the acoustics of the yurt itself. We were within miles of everything we wanted to do and really enjoyed our experience.
We very much enjoyed our time in Tonawanda and exploring the surrounding area. Jolee gave us some wonderful suggestions of places to eat / things to do locally and we found the yurt very welcoming! We only have good things to say about our stay! Thank you, Jolee, for helping make this trip so enjoyable!
