Family and I stayed to go see Luke Combs in concert and had a great time! We all loved the house, was very clean, very comfortable, lots of space for us to stay and communication with the homeowners was easy with quick response and really nice! There was everything that we needed and minutes to really cute shops and restaurants in town. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

A Total Eclipse Weekend
The Cottage was the perfect place for my family to await the total eclipse of 2024. Opening the door, we were welcomed by charming surroundings inviting us to enjoy a carefree stay. To give you an idea of her meticulous attention to details, Jeni even had eclipse glasses set out there for us. Everything we needed and more was there, including some great coffees. The clouds moved in to cover our eclipse view but we still enjoyed every minute in this very comfortable home away from home.

Great Family Holiday
2023 was the fourth Christmas my family and I have stayed here. As always, we had a great time celebrating the holidays with our extended family in Western NY. We continue to stay at this property because it is very nice, spacious and conveniently located. It is well equipped and exceptionally clean. The hostess, Jeni, and her staff are very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice vacation in WNY.

Perfect spot. Great location.
We really enjoyed how close this house was to downtown East Aurora and how quickly we could access 400 to get downtown or to the airport. The house was great! Perfect for our party of 8. Of note, the stairs going up to second level are very steep. Not an issue for us but older guests or younger kids could struggle with those. Otherwise the house was very welcoming. Living room was very spacious and beds very comfy. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Go Bills!
We chose this property because of its location to seeing family and going to a Bills game. Great location and easy access. We did hear some of the street noise as others have mentioned but on the weekend it wasn’t too bad. Monday morning truck traffic was the heaviest; but we were up early to get on the road ourselves. Connecting to the Internet was our only hiccup - no one could access with the password info provided. We had everything else we needed for a great stay for our 8 person group!

Perfect for our Group
Great property, close to our event and local downtown. Set up well for our family. We really liked the upstairs bathroom set up for all of us. All supplies readily available. Struggled with the sound of the busy road. Took the country away for us. All of us (8) but our hearing impaired teen had to wear ear plugs. We now hail from the city and it was loud to sleep in the home. Feel this should be represented in the listing especially when owners are aware since they leave earplugs upstairs for guests! Also, we spent the first 24 hours without internet or TV until we finally realized the internet had been reset and the password given and left was no longer the set password. Once members of our group realized we needed the original password from the modem we were good to go. No thanks to the property manager who never replied to our inquiry on it. Coffee makers need descaling from use. Extremely slow, don’t brew proper amount and leak. Overall, a great property for a family even with our small hindrances.

Excellent home rental!! This is by far the BEST VRBO we have stayed in, and we stay in multiple a year. The pictures describe the home perfectly. Our family were all impressed. You literally need to unpack your suitcases and pick up some groceries and you are all set! Anything you need is on location and the setting is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your immaculate home with us!! 10 stars + Communication was also prefect, we look forward to visiting again. The Brooks Family

The Hayloft “Cottage” Home
Our family of 6 stayed here quite comfortably at the end of May 2023 as part of our summer family vacation. From this “cottage”, we visited friends in Springville, NY, explored Niagara Falls, toured the Buffalo Naval & Military Park, and hiked the Devil’s Hole plus Whirlpool Rapids trails near Niagara Falls. This “cottage” is restored so part of the home has beautiful original-looking wooden floors, the doorway mouldings are wide planks, & the staircase is steep “old-school”…so there is a vague feeling of a historic cottage… And this is truly a welcoming home, as it is decorated very creatively in a cute antique-way. We enjoyed the comfortable porch & the spacious living room. The VRBO pictures do indeed tell the story of this gem of a home! It is on a main roadway and the sound of cars & trucks passing is noticeable but the owners provide earplugs, should you need! The kitchen’s fully stocked for cooking. No kitchen garbage disposal & no outdoor grill…but these we did not need. All the beds are comfortable and there are plenty of linens & towels for everyone! The upstairs bathroom is huge with separate little rooms for the toilet & the stand-up shower. Several in our family went running for exercise along the different local roads & the scenery is incredible! East Aurora is a cute town…go have the yummy handmade ice cream at Rosie’s and the wings at Bar-Bill’s! And thank you to the owners for crafting this precious gem of a home…we enjoyed our stay! :)

Family weekend
We came to WNY for a family event and this house was a beautiful home base for the weekend. Charming, lots of rooms with plenty of separation from one another, beautiful master bathroom, and well-appointed kitchen. The location, just outside of East Aurora on 20A, meant that great restaurants were 5 minutes away. We would gladly stay here again.

Weekend Ski Trip
I'm speaking for all of my group when we say we absolutely loved this house, it's location and our weekend was amazing. We we're taking our kids on their first ski trip (ages 3-6). We wanted something reasonable such as Kissing Bridge and a great town like East Aurora for the weekend. After a lot of research we settled on this house and we'd highly recommend it to anyone. It was 25 minutes from the ski resort, 5 minutes from town and a beautifully restored home to come back to. We will defiantly be back.

Great Holiday Vacation!
We come to East Aurora annually to visit family in the area. We have stayed at the same property for three years running because it is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and exceptionally clean. The hosts, Jeni and Jason, are very nice and easy to work with. In that regard, this year was no exception. What was exceptional was that when winter storm Elliot hit, Jeni and Jason showed up with water, blankets, candles and propane heaters to ensure we would be comfortable if the power went out. The power stayed on, but thanks to their extra effort we would have been prepared had it gone out. As always, we had a very enjoyable stay and look forward to returning next year.
