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.

To ensure the highest standard of cleanliness and sophistication, all bed linens are kept in pristine white.
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!

Everything is as described. The bed was comfortable, the host is friendly and communicates well, and the place is clean and comfy. This place suited our needs very well.
Great clean, modern place. Awesome park within walking distance on the water. Great location to visit the falls and other nearby places. Only negative is the sofa. Not comfortable.
We came into town for a family event and this house was a perfect home base! Nice quiet neighborhood but with the river walk and several restaurants just a few steps away. Everything was as shown in the listing, the bed was super comfortable, and we had everything we needed! Thank you so much for hosting us!
We had a lovely few days out of the city - wanted to see Niagara Falls, enjoyed a couple of really nice eateries in Tonawanda. The property was exactly as described, very comfortable and well appointed. Easy on, easy off, and pleasant walks by the nearby river.
Location is great, couple fun eateries to walk to. Great neighborhood. House was perfect, great size , decorated chic! All clean and comfortable. Host was great ! Will be back! Thank you
We absolutely loved our little cottage in Tonawanda. It was our home base for one week. Jolee was so easy to contact if need be. We loved being able to walk for ice-cream at night and sit in the park across the street enjoying the views. Never once did we feel unsafe. Thanks Jolee for a wonderful week. We hope to be back in the future!
The house was just as listed. The bed and couch were very comfortable. Place was clean and in a great location. Walk across street to park and the Niagara River. Close restaurants. Hostess was attentive and very helpful! Would recommend staying here and plan to stay again in the future.
We had a swim meet 10 miles away, straight shot, to the pool. We were able to get groceries about a mile away and be able to relax.between meet days. It was a quick drive to Niagara Falls.The VRBO was very clean and had plenty to do within walking distance. The host was very kind and very communicative answered all our questions and gave a list of things to do on our trip.. I highly recommend this cute cottage if visiting the Buffalo/Niagara area.
My boyfriend and I stayed for a week for my birthday and really enjoyed our stay! Did lots of sight seeing and visited Niagara Falls (MUST SEE!!) I am a huge plant lover and the decoration of the place was awesome! The location is perfect, you can easily walk to the water and places to eat.
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!
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!
