Exactly What We Wanted!
My wife and I were looking for a comfortable/secluded home that was close to highway access. This home was perfect! We were able to easily see a lot of WNY due to the multiple nearby roads and highway. Additionally, the quaint town of Westfield was close so we were able to go grocery shopping, get coffee, and pick up take-out from multiple restaurants that were all within 5 mins. The house itself came exactly as advertised! We spent a lot of time in the back room reading, playing games, and watching TV. The house was really clean and had a lot of nice touches. We stayed in the middle of the winter and it was NOT drafty as every room felt toasty and warm! The layout was also perfect as you could hang out together or go to another room to get some privacy. The pier and light house across the street were beautiful. There was also a nice beach within a 1/4 mile with some great views and a lot of driftwood. The owner of the home was amazingly quick to respond to messages and you can tell she truly cares! Additionally, she was understanding, patient, and terrifically kind. We highly recommend!!

Another wonderful stay!
This was our 2nd time staying at this property and we were so glad we returned! The house is spacious and well appointed, and the location couldn’t be better! Loved having my morning coffee on the upper deck and I enjoyed the view of the lighthouse and harbor. Will be back again, I hope!

Perfect Lakeside House with Beautiful Views
This house exceeded our expectations and was very accommodating for our group of friends who wanted the perfect summer beach trip. The house was clean and provided us with all the necessary amenities. Morning coffee on the balcony, front row views of the beautiful lighthouse and marina, and a close proximity to the beach, breakfast diner, and fishery were the highlights of our stay at the Lightkeeper's Refuge. The host was a big help and quick to respond. I would highly recommend this location and cannot wait to return to beautiful Barcelona and the town of Westfield.

Pure Relaxation
Another wonderful stay at the Lightkeepers Refuge. The added seating on the top balcony was perfect. Mornings couldn't be better on that balcony rain or shine. Watching the boats head out for the day, breathing the fresh Canadian air, (we had no issues with the Canadian wildfires) there is nothing more relaxing. Dining at Brazill's is highly recommended. We are still enjoying our pies from Portage Pies, definitely worth the stop. Sadly we weren't able to make it to The Parkveiw for their fabulous chicken salad. Nothing but relaxing. No need to worry about anything. If you do need anything, its just a little drive into Westfield.

Lovely house in a wonderful location
My partner and I came here with our dog for a mini-moon right after getting married and we had such a wonderful time. The harbor and the beach right across the street are beautiful and were very quiet on weekdays. We had a lovely time visiting local wineries and were able to find plenty of restaurants with dog-friendly patios so our pup could join us for dinner. The house is really charming and the host was very helpful and responsive - we'll definitely be back!
