About this property

Minutes to Niagara Falls State Park

Located in a lovely area of Niagara Falls, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is located only 3.3 miles from Niagara Falls State Park.

The master bedroom with attached bath is located on the first floor and has a king bed. The other two bedrooms are located on the second floor. One of the rooms has a queen bed with a small sitting room attached that has a twin bed for an extra guest. The other bedroom has a double bed. The other full bathroom is on the second floor.

On the first floor in addition to the master bedroom, is the kitchen, living room and dining room, and back hallway that leads to a screened in porch and the back yard.

The house, built in 1920, is in the Deveaux area of Niagara Falls, a beautiful residential neighborhood, situated near Niagara University. The house is a 10-minute walk to the Whirlpool and Devil’s Hole State Parks and a 10 min. drive or 20 min. bike ride along the Gorge to the Niagara Falls State Park. Lewiston is also a short drive up the parkway and has many cute shops and nice restaurants.

The house is most easily accessed by car but the NFTA buses do run along Lewiston Road which is on the corner and goes to either Lewiston or to Niagara Falls.

The house has wi-fi throughout. There is a SmartTV and DVD player in the master bedroom, but there is no cable (we do have an interior antenna for broadcast channels). There is a driveway for you to use to park your vehicle. Pets will be considered.

Fenced in back yard nice for our dog. Would have liked a couple more bath towels since laundry not available on site and the laundromat down the street did not look very inviting. Overall, house and location very good.

Great Home Away from Home

This cute little bungalow was the perfect escape after busy days touring Niagara Falls. We enjoyed proximity to the falls and the quiet neighborhood. The host was very easy to communicate with and everything was very clear. There was plenty of space to spread out. Our favorite little nook was the window seat - perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. House was very clean with plenty of bedding and towels. All in all, a great stay!

Nice older house.

The house is an older house with all that implies. Some floors are not level. The front steps are really high. The steps to the backdoor are dimly lot at night. All that said, the beds were very nice, The kitchen was pretty well equipped.

Its kind of funny because my cousins with us grew up in old homes and the creaking floors, stairs, etc reminded them of being scared as kids. But my husband and I love old homes, so we were thrilled with the woodwork and beautiful floors. The home was VERY clean and we appreciated that more than anything.

Absolutely great location! Near everything and a quaint little neighborhood. It was an old home from the early 1900’s so it’s got nostalgia, creepy floors, small bathrooms etc but absolutely charming. Was pretty clean and beds were okay. Would recommend!

Girlfriends’ Niagara Falls Trip

Had a beautiful time seeing the Falls, Whirlpool Park, and Old Fort Niagara with my family and friends! We had lunch at Main Street Diner in Youngstown, NY and then had the best chocolate chip cookie ever at a quaint bakery in Youngstown, NY! And great sunny, blue skies weather each day of our 4 day getaway!

If visiting Niagara Falls beware gps will take you through unsafe area of downtown as shortest route from this house. House itself is in good neighborhood. We took a longer route (once we made this mistake) to avoid this again.

Convenient location and comfortable stay

It is a charming home almost perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed - we didn’t prepare any meals. It was a convenient and safe home base for our vacation - day at a Niagara Falls, day in Buffalo, and day at Six Flags. All descriptions were accurate. Our kids may have liked TVs upstairs but it was nice to spend a few days without them. The living area furniture is comfortable and maximizes the use of the space well but it was hard to watch a movie in the evenings - again we were never there much and everything else about the house, location, and comfort was great!

Nice property in quiet neighborhood. Wifi service wasn't that great, however. Enjoyed the back yard. Close to the Falls. Masterbedroom bed a bit uncomfortable for us older folk.

About the host

Hosted by Carroll Reetz

Host profile image
Carroll spent most of her career in Human Resources but gave it all up (darn) to open a hostel in Niagara Falls- leaving the wonderful California weather behind but gaining a wonderful husband. Andre is from Germany and we found each other here! We have since expanded from the hostel and added a couple vacation rentals to our endeavors. We think they are a great alternative to a sterile hotel - more like home away from home.

Why they chose this property

The Whirlpool Cottage is in the nicest area of Niagara Falls where visitors can feel relaxed and secure in their home away from home.

We are fully permitted and certified by the City of Niagara Falls that we meet all building and fire codes required to operate a vacation rental. Many listings in Niagara Falls are not legal, so be careful. Keep your family safe and be sure to book with those operators that can show you their permit and certificate of occupancy.
