It is within distance to all the Buffalo area has to offer.The cleanliness is immaculate, and it is well stocked with essentials. John the owner responds within minutes if needed. I would definitely recommend staying here. The visit was only 2 nights, however, so much more relaxing than a hotel and a very quiet neighborhood. Again 5 stars\*\*\*\*\* ##### Mary P.

This is a new construction, and it is decorated impeccably to make you feel right at home. It was very clean, and had all the amenities you could need. The beds were comfortable as well- which is a huge contender for us. The neighborhood itself is family oriented and felt safe. The space was great for us and additional family to hang out for some quality family time. The fact that Wegmans, Starbucks and the McKinley Mall are so close was great as well. And there are quite a few restaurants near by to pick from. We recommend Ilio DiPaolo's for some good Italian. We did drive into downtown Buffalo as well, and it was a short 15 min easy drive. Overall, 5 stars and we would certainly stay again. ##### Harleen D.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy S. 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Buffalo Visit Must Stay We recently stayed at a new house near the Buffalo Bills stadium and had an outstanding experience. The location is perfect—just minutes from Highmark Stadium, making it ideal for game days, and also close to the Lake Erie waterfront with its great restaurants and vibrant atmosphere. Downtown Buffalo is an easy drive away, so exploring the city’s attractions was a breeze.The house itself is immaculate and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. Everything felt fresh and modern, from the fully equipped kitchen to the spacious living areas and bedrooms. We especially appreciated the attention to detail, like fast WiFi, streaming TVs, on-site parking (even a garage), and a peaceful neighborhood setting.It was great to have so many dining and entertainment options nearby (Best of Buffalo dining an easy drive). We have rented many VRBOs but this was the best of all of them and we’re already looking forward to staying here again on our next visit—it’s the perfect home base for experiencing the best of Buffalo, the Bills, and Lake Erie! Go Bills! ##### Timothy S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bree C. 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a lovely stay.
