Host was very responsive and even arranged for a last minute early check in. Cute little cottage and significantly cheaper for a one night stay to attend concert at Darian Lake than nearby hotels.

It is a cozy space ideal for a family of 4 to have a home base in Alden near Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The kitchenette is well stocked and the bathroom is good for the space. Overall it was a good stay.

Could not have asked for a better trip, honestly. We came and had a great time and everything was perfect. We did call the spa Saturday (late notice on us) to see if anything was available and left a voicemail but no one called back.

Thankful you enjoyed your stay. Wish we could have accommodated your spa request. We book out months ahead and unfortunately that Saturday was a day when there was no receptionist and entrance only by appointment. Sorry for the mis communication.
