Fantastic time

We loved the location & the property! It made our trip to Niagara Falls easy. Loved seeing the deers every day what a treat. We also got to see Robins leave the nest during our stay at the house. Highly recommend this property for a vacation destination!

The Watkins Review

One of the nicest vacation rentals ever. The home was immaculate - kudos to whomever does the cleaning. Very spacious home, beautifully decorated, kitchen well equipped. The large back porch had a great view of the meadow below and we watched the deer feeding and fawns playing. Samantha was a super host!

Amazing Property

This property was amazing! The house is huge and appointed with the best of everything. The pool, the porch, the firepit - it was all great. The host Samatha was so nice and easy to deal with; she responded immediately to my questions. My family and I had a fantastic time, and it was so nice to be in a space that accommodated all of us. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

Incredible home! Magnificently built home

Amazing property to be allowed to share and enjoy. The builder of this home was a genius. The crown molding details are like nothing you have seen. Truly incredible. Home is very large with every detail thought through perfectly. The owners thought of everything. As a regular with vrbo for many years, this was the nicest home we ever stayed in. And every tiny detail including toys for kids, gates, stools, etc., were all addressed upfront by the owners. This property gets a property of the decade award for us and all our family. It is worth staying just to see the builder’s amazing craftsmanship. On a scale of one to five.. this property gets a 10! Yes, double best of the best and this home in Alden. NY wins. It was an honor to share this home.

Buffalo area sanctuary located close to everything

We spent three nights at this wonderful secluded property while visiting the Buffalo area for the Bills v Jets game in December 2022. The home is set on a secluded property just beyond an otherwise unassuming residential neighborhood in Alden, NY. The home is beautiful and well appointed throughout with plenty of room for everyone to stretch-out and enjoy the property's amenities. You'll be about 30 minutes from Downtown Buffalo, Orchard Park, and Niagra Falls depending upon which direction you travel. You'd be hard pressed to find a better homebase from which to explore while visiting the Buffalo area. And, it's a welcome retreat to return to in the afternoon or evening when your daily exploration is done. Our traveling party of 9 (4 adults, 5 children) enjoyed our stay tremendously. The owner, Samantha, was very easy to reach and communicate with and worked with us to accommodate our needs at check in and check out. It's without hesitation that I'd recommend this 5-star property if your travel brings you to Buffalo, Alden, or the surrounding area.

Can't wait to come back

Everything was great. Pool was the perfect size for everyone and the fence allowed for great safety with the kids. The house was enormous. Easy to have fun with the family or to find a space to read a book. Also you really feel like you are all by yourself (no neighbors) but still have the convenience of grocery story's in Alden. Def considering another stay

Absolutely Perfect!

This home, nestled in the woods of Alden is absolutely perfect! It is modern and very comfortable. The kitchen is spectacular. Our family loves cooking together... there was plenty of room for all 8 of us to dive in! The back porch is completely perfect for morning coffee. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are also large and really nice. If you're visiting western NY, this home is perfect!

What makes this property unique

Spring Creek is really a unique benefit. People from all over the world have come to fossil hunt here. the shale walls are so beautiful, it like looking 380 years into the past. Fossils are easy to find trilobites are in almost every piece of shale.
