Space is perfect for a couple. King bed is comfortable and we slept well in the quiet and cozy space. Hosts were accommodating and quick to respond. The Ransom Creek Kayak Launch is just around the corner from the house. One morning we parked there and walked along the Erie Canal path. A great way to start the day.

The home was adorable, cozy, and had everything we needed for the weekend. It was the perfect location for our stay in the area. When we’re in the area again this is my first choice to stay. Loved this place on the creek.

Such a peaceful cozy house. Well equipped & decorated. All of our needs were met. Slept great in the loft bedroom & enjoyed the deck looking over Random Creek along with the perks of glimpses of wildlife. Would recommend for a couples getaway.

Cottage by a creek

Nice spacious comfortable and well-appointed property for our stay with 3 people. One bedroom, and good inflatable air mattress. Location is quiet, but close to University at Buffalo. Would recommend to others.

Great escape from hotel life on the road! Quiet clean and peaceful. Just the right size place! Woodstove also makes it cozy! Not a single complaint. Hosts were also great and offered to assist with snow removal. Wasn’t necessary. The large buck in the field behind the house also had me from day one. I enjoyed seeing him, as well as the others, each evening. Will definitely stay here again!

Nice place!

Great place for me and hubby to be alone, hang out, sit by the creek and go to a lot of sightseeing places in the vicinity. Cute little neighborhood, didn’t even hear any neighbors. Saw deer, ducks and other wildlife. Super relaxing, house was nice and sufficiently supplied.
