The cottage was perfect! We had a wedding at The Sterling and it was a short drive away. Theresa accommodated an early check-in so we could get ready before the 4:00 wedding. The cottage is adorable inside and out. It has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The bed was also really comfortable!In the morning we walked to a diner and then a bakery to grab cookies for the kids at home.We appreciate the ease of check-in/check-out and Theresa was easy to contact!

Wonderful place!

We had a very comfortable stay at the Tiny Cottage! It had all the amenities we needed, and our son LOVED the loft! Our only issue was arriving after dark and there was no address listed on the house so it took us some time to locate the correct location. However, the hosts were waiting up for us and came over to help us get in and situated. We are already looking forward to another stay here in the future!

Adorable and Comfortable

We were spending the day at Darien Lake and even though we live close, we wanted a place to go in the afternoon to take a break. The tiny cottage is wonderful! Walked to the coffee shop for coffee cake and cinnamon rolls to add to our breakfast.

Perfect little cottage

Loved the cottage and the host was phenomenal! Theresa made sure the grill had propane so our group could cook up some burgers before heading out to a concert and was so nice. The cottage itself had everything you need and was perfect for our group of 4. We will definitely stay again when we come back for another concert.

Beautiful and perfect for Darien Lake Concert

We stayed with our teenage son. It was just as the pictures show. Very modern and clean inside. All the amenities were included. Host was very responsive and flexible. The house is only 10 minutes from Six Flags Darien Lake so was very convenient for our concert that night. Would defiantly stay again!

Perfect Stay!

This house was very appealing in the description. Once I checked in and walked through the front door, I was thrilled to find the in person experience was so much better! The house smelled lovely. Everything was clean and tidy. After a long drive, this stay was exactly what I needed to recharge and relax. Theresa is a great host. I hope to return for a longer stay!

So cute, so relaxing!

We had a whirlwind stay of going to two weddings in one weekend. And we only stayed one night but this house is truly the reason we didn’t feel entirely dead after the weekend. The vibes and comfort of this house is unreal. We slept for 12 hours straight in that bed, it was so comfy. Theresa is kind and so accommodating. We truly plan on coming back to stay for a longer period and go to the spa. Alden is also a very cute town.

Spa get-a-way

We stayed for two nights and had massages. We enjoyed the quaint town of Alden. Breakfast at the Alden Bakery (so delicious) and picked up some chocolates at Henry’s - all within walking distance of the cottage. We went to Rick’s for dinner in East Aurora. The staff and atmosphere was so pleasant. The food was delicious. We highly recommend the 90 minute couples massage at Escential Care Spa and Wellness. These people are so friendly and they love what they do. They truly just want you to have a wonderful experience. The cottage had everything we could possibly need. Wonderful experience
