We stayed here on our family trip to the Niagara Falls!! We enjoyed our stay! The host was very responsive and respectful! Any questions we had, they responded quickly and even extended our stay by just a few hours until our event that day was ready!! If I or my family return to buffalo ny we will most definitely check the availability on this home before checking anywhere else! Thank you so much for your hospitality!! You make an excellent host!!

Great property!

The owner of this property was so nice and accommodating! I got to take my getting ready wedding day photos and a small get together afterwards. It was perfect and of course we made sure to keep the property clean and in the same condition. I would stay here again!

Ok

The house and property need some work still. The pictures definitely make it look way nicer than it actually is imo. The owner was very fast in communicating back to us, so that was a big plus. The pool had issues, the grass in the back yard was over grown and not managed well, was not one of our best stays, but got the job done.

the description said that home had undergone extensive remodeling but the quality of remodeling was very poor; the pool was run down and not as clean as expected. the nightly rate was high for the the quality expected for that rate--one bedroom was very large and 2 small rooms for the other 2. it just was not up to previous VRBO rentals we have gotten before

Family vacation/chef competition

Would recommend! Lots of room!!! As a large family we have been crowded- but this was good. (If you are particular about “new” property this is a “well loved” house.) ** We had so much fun in the pool- eating/grilling on the deck and hanging out in the living area- relaxed and comfortable! *** Beautiful kitchen- great appliances if you do your own cooking. • Easy to get anywhere. •Hosts were so helpful- the best we’ve experienced from Hawaii to Buffalo - Minnesota to Florida! (I only docked because the pictures show newer chairs etc outside- if you care about that versus entirety of experience. - hosts more than made up for it)

Felt we were cat fished on this property. Pictures were excellent, but the property was not well taken care of, dirty and essentially felt like a frat house. Just very disappointed.
