Great location ...beautiful home
We had a family of 10 with 2 children. Perfect location as within walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants and close drive to Niagara Falls. Diane was a gem. She kept in constance contact to insure our stay was perfect. The Mansion layout is perfect for large families. Great livingroom areas to either join or have some quiet time to yourself. Highly recommended.

Unique location in a beautiful little town.
The Mansion is a unique location in a beautiful little town - located walking distance to anything including the Niagara River. Lots of room and character - much more memorable than staying at a hotel. Will be a pleasant memory for years to come.

An amazing place to stay!
The historical ambiance of the Mansion made this one of my most incredible VRBO experiences. Eight of us came to Lewiston to play in a golf tournament and the property was perfect for us. We had lots of room to spread out, plenty of bedrooms, had a big kitchen to cook our meals in and comfy chairs to sit outside at night and rest from our day. The gardens were so pretty and it was nice to sit under the canopy of trees. The communication from the host was spot on, she answered all my queries and even called and texted to make sure we were okay. The message that she sent us with the historical information about the house made our stay that much more special. Thanks so much for sending us helpful information about the area and things to do!

Not Worth for the Money
Though this seams to be a 200 Year old property and big space, The Maintenance was very poor. Bad odor in the toilet Blankets are not washed Wooden floors are giving sound like its going to fall There was hole in the second floor bathroom, where if water is leaked, it was wetting the kitchen:(. So you cannot use the bathroom above the Kitchen when you are cooking Please try for some other option for better price

Amazing!
The Barton Mansion is absolutely incredible- the history of this beautiful building, location in the heart of Lewiston, and spectacular architecture …not to mention comfortable beds, tons of space and sheer size! Diane was wonderful to connect with and very responsive. I look forward to renting the mansion again and would absolutely recommend this stunning home.

We had a wonderful time in Lewiston and enjoyed the Barton house!
The property was very clean and easy to find. The location is fantastic easy walking distance to the water or downtown, in addition to a playground for the kids directly on the other side of the property fence! The house offered enough space for our family, my parents as well as my brother and his family. There was only one problem, we wanted to use the piano. My husband plays and we were excited to see it in the pictures, however it was locked and unaccessible. We were able to entertain ourselves regardless but it was one of the reasons I booked the house. All in all, it turned out to be a perfect weekend. Sunshine each day and a trip to the falls and then Lewiston's Art Festival! Wonderful quiet town with plenty of dining and entertainment. I would recommend to anyone.

Bathroom leaks into kitchen heavy, outside lighting is very poor especially with steps that were unlit. Roof looks likely to leak very soon

Wonderful stay
This historical house was a beautiful place to spend time. The house was spacious with plenty of large windows that let light in. The kitchen was well equipped. The Niagara River could be seen from the kitchen and the grounds were also beautiful. Lewiston is a wonderful village. The host was responsive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this property.

I cant thank Diane Enough for helping us on our stay in Lewiston. The home has quite a story of its own and is walking distance to Downtown. We will certainly be back.
