Long Weekend Stay
The Cottage is a perfect blend of old country house and modern convenience. Jeni was a perfect host and responded immediately when we discovered that the TV remote for one of the bedrooms was damaged by replacing it immediately.The property is minutes from downtown East Aurora and a quick hop from route 400 and everything that WNY has to offer!Thanks Jeni!!

Family weekend
We came to WNY for a family event and this house was a beautiful home base for the weekend. Charming, lots of rooms with plenty of separation from one another, beautiful master bathroom, and well-appointed kitchen. The location, just outside of East Aurora on 20A, meant that great restaurants were 5 minutes away. We would gladly stay here again.

Amazing stay!
Family and I stayed to go see Luke Combs in concert and had a great time! We all loved the house, was very clean, very comfortable, lots of space for us to stay and communication with the homeowners was easy with quick response and really nice! There was everything that we needed and minutes to really cute shops and restaurants in town. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Fabulous home
We had a great stay for a girls weekend birthday getaway. The home is beautiful as well as the whole property. She’s a great hostess!! The wedding barn is also beautiful and highly recommended.
I definitely recommend this as a great place to stay. With many fun shops and good restaurants nearby

The Hayloft “Cottage” Home
Our family of 6 stayed here quite comfortably at the end of May 2023 as part of our summer family vacation. From this “cottage”, we visited friends in Springville, NY, explored Niagara Falls, toured the Buffalo Naval & Military Park, and hiked the Devil’s Hole plus Whirlpool Rapids trails near Niagara Falls.
This “cottage” is restored so part of the home has beautiful original-looking wooden floors, the doorway mouldings are wide planks, & the staircase is steep “old-school”…so there is a vague feeling of a historic cottage…
And this is truly a welcoming home, as it is decorated very creatively in a cute antique-way.
We enjoyed the comfortable porch & the spacious living room. The VRBO pictures do indeed tell the story of this gem of a home!
It is on a main roadway and the sound of cars & trucks passing is noticeable but the owners provide earplugs, should you need!
The kitchen’s fully stocked for cooking. No kitchen garbage disposal & no outdoor grill…but these we did not need.
All the beds are comfortable and there are plenty of linens & towels for everyone!
The upstairs bathroom is huge with separate little rooms for the toilet & the stand-up shower.
Several in our family went running for exercise along the different local roads & the scenery is incredible!
East Aurora is a cute town…go have the yummy handmade ice cream at Rosie’s and the wings at Bar-Bill’s!
And thank you to the owners for crafting this precious gem of a home…we enjoyed our stay! :)
