About this property

Charming Cottage near Niagara Falls and Buffalo

Fondly known as the "squrt", our darling square-yurt on the water awaits you! Newly built only in 2015 w/ gorgeous & unique ceramic tile floors, a full kitchen & bathroom, and a darling outdoor bistro area. Then, it was lovingly designed with touches of greenery throughout the home to give you a cheerful lift. You will find a peaceful night of rest on 100% cotton sheets on a very high end and comfortable queen size bed, the Helix Dawn Luxe, and & blackout curtains on every window.

The queen size bed in the bedroom is like sleeping on a cloud. The sofa bed features a very thick cool-gel foam topper. A toddler mattress and a Pack n Play are available for your little ones. Stay in a gorgeous place for the famous Gateway Harbor seasonand Canal Fest!

Please note that the home is semi-open concept and has an approximate 18" fully open space between the bedroom and living room. The bedroom has a fully opaque privacy curtain that functions as a door to the hallway. The bathroom is fully private and separate with a wood door and self-contained from all other areas (just like in most other homes) - you can sit assured there won't be any embarrassing sounds heard lol.

The cottage is on a large corner lot. The water view can be seen right from the front windows and door and is 3 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.

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 home is conveniently located between Niagara Falls and Buffalo in a charming waterside town.

Adorable Cottage
This is a clean and quaint cottage very close to a lovely river park with easy access to Buffalo. The bed and couch/bed are very comfortable and it is well climate-controlled. It was stocked and furnished with everything we needed for a multi-night stay and communication with the owner was quick and thorough. Would stay again!

Cute property, excellent location
Small, perfect for 2, little Squrt. Great amenties, full kitchen, well equipped. Fabulous location, right next to river, with walking paths. Note: Bedroom is separated by a curtain and walls do not go all the way to the ceiling, so a bit challenged if 1 of us is ready for bed and the other is not, as the light does come through. Open and airy, we would likely stay here again if our travels bring us back to Buffalo.

A cute yurt
The yurt was like a tiny house. It was nicely decorated and close to the water. The host was quick to answer any questions. The only suggestions i have are the need for pot holders, & a rack for hand towel near the bathroom sink. I would recommend it.

Perfect Get Away
The "squrt" was as described, but better when you see it. Nice simple decor that we found relaxing and clean. Location is perfect, 2 places to eat within walking distance and a park along the river. Going back when we can stay longer than a weekend!

Birthday Vacation
This little cottage was the perfect choice near the attraction that my sister and I wanted to visit. As a birthay gift to my sister and I we stayed here to be able to enjoy Niagara Falls and a little of what the town and Buffalo had to offer. The cottage was clean and equiped with everything we needed. Management was quick to respond to messages and was friendly. My siter and I were very satisfied with our stay!

Great location
Perfect getaway for my “snow -cation”. Close to everything from Niagara Falls to Buffalo. The only thing I think needs to be added - was cookware. I was surprised to find very little cooking items compared to other rentals. Since part of my vacay was cooking with my granddaughter this was challenging.

Nice place to be snowbound
I stayed here with my two adult children during the Christmas blizzard of 2022 and though I was frustrated by the travel bans I was glad to be in a warm place with all the necessities. And I was relieved to have power the entire time despite high winds. Jolee was kind to check on us and available for any questions I had. I would recommend staying here (although I might check the weather forecast more closely next time I visit family in Buffalo in December)

Great place!
Great place for a getaway with your significant other or BFF. Home is beautifully furnished and has everything that you need. Off street parking, too! We loved that you can not only walk in along the river on a great paved path with separate bike lanes, but also to have a meal and/or ice cream. Old Man River's is right on the corner (do note that they sometimes have live music that you can hear from the place, which we enjoyed) and other places are nearby as well. We felt very safe walking down the street to them and back. Everything else we planned do was within a 20 minute drive as well. Host was great and extremely responsive. Would love to come stay again, although next time we might try the adjacent Yurt! :D

Enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and the host was accommodating and attentive.
This is a wonderful location. There was live music at Old Man River in the corner until 9 every night. Take this into consideration if you will be trying to relax or watch Tv in the early evening hours.

Perfect for family of 4.
We had a great stay. Only wish we could have stayed longer. The host knew our kids were coming and had the living room bed set up and ready to go! In the evening we sat on the patio and listened to the live music coming from Old Man River down the street. We will be coming back soon, and hopefully for a longer stay!

Everything you need!
From booking, through to arrival and departure, I had a smooth process and excellent communication from the property owner, Jolee. The little house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was comfy, and even the couch pull out was super comfortable! There’s enough kitchen utensils and accessories to make all your usual meals. Everything was clean and functional. The location can’t be beat, with Old Man River one block down on the river. Catch live music, good eats, and gorgeous sunsets over the river! And downtown Buffalo and Niagara Falls are both quick drives from here. We’d definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at Jolee's place! The property was just as pictured. The neighborhood has a great walking/biking path along the water and two fun restaurants in walking distance. It was an ideal spot for all we wanted to do in the Buffalo and Niagara area. Highly recommend!
