Beautifully restored 1850s Victorian Guesthouse in the center of the quaint Village of Youngstown, NY, where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. Within walking distance of Old Fort Niagara or a short bicycle ride to the Village of Lewiston and Artpark, and a mere 20 minute drive to one of the natural wonders of the the world- Niagara Falls. (Oh, Canada is just across the river as well.)
We fully renovated the guesthouse with its history in mind - so you can enjoy turn-of-the-century charm in every room without having to worry about outdated facilities. One example of this, is that each of our 5 bedrooms has its own ensuite or private bath.
The MAXIMUM night stay for our property is 14 nights.
The fully equipt kitchen has everything you need to create a beautiful meal, including china and crystal to set a beautiful table in our stunning dining room.
Enjoy a game on my grandfather's 105 year old Brunswick Billiards Table or a chess match in the Parlor.
If music is your thing, the baby grand piano is tuned and ready to play. The Rock-Ola Brunswick Jukebox is loaded with a wide variety of music for you to enjoy. If you choose 0009 you will hear the song that inspired this place! (Regrettably, I am waiting on a part for the Jukebox, so hopefully by the time of your visit, it will be up and running again.)
You may want to just relax in one of the outdoor spaces. The only problem, I can see, is trying to decide which of the three you enjoy most. - Sipping your morning coffee on the kitchen deck as the sun comes up, - Enjoy a rocking chair on the wrap around porch while sneaking a peak of the River and Canada -yes, that is Canada on the other side of the Niagara River, - Getting the party started with happy hour on the veranda. You'll just have to stay long enough to do all three!
No matter what you choose, please make yourself comfortable and let "This Must Be The Place Guesthouse" be your new favorite place!
When it's time to get out of the house and stray a little farther than the Village of Youngstown there is so much to choose from. Obviously, Niagara Falls - need we say more! Just a 20 minute scenic drive to a sight you will never forget.
On the way you will go through the Village of Lewiston with many shops, restaurants, ArtPark, hiking trails, festivals, and waterfront activities.
Head east and check out Ransomville, Wilson and Olcott with all they have to offer and don't forget the Niagara Wine Trail.
If you brought your passport, your can even visit our neighbors to the north, Canada! Niagara On The Lake is a 40 minute drive, while Toronto is 2 hours away-customs and traffic not withstanding.

About the host
Hosted by Glynis Mieth
It’s a family thing. A naïve couple Glynis and Mark were married up the street from here - and the wedding reception (think: party) was at this place.
Although there was a vast future ahead of them, they had no thoughts that this would be the place that they would end up being.
Their first dance was to the melody “This Must Be The Place (Naïve Melody)” by Talking Heads.
It was a day and night filled with laughter and love.
We hope that you too may share in some of that during your stay here.
