Family Gathering

This was a wonderful stay for us! The house was lovely and for our family of 6 perfectly with room to spare! We especially liked the cute shabby chic touches, including a bathroom closet filled with toiletries. So sweet to think of these extra amenities! We would definitely stay here again!

A Great Stay in East Aurora

My family and I have been staying at The Cottage on Big Tree Road for Christmas since 2019. The property is very comfortable, roomy, nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. Everything is well maintained, and every year we notice a few improvements. The owners, Jeni and Jason, are very pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend this cottage.

Great home away from home

This was a great house for my brothers and I, and our families. Plenty of space, roomy cottage feel, and great amenities. We enjoyed getting to visit with each other instead of being cooped up and separated in hotel rooms.

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.

The cottage worked out perfectly for a group of us traveling to Buffalo to see our beloved Bengals play the Bills. The cottage had everything we needed (and then some). As advertised. We'd stay there again, certainly.

Great Place for Families

We stayed here with our children and grandchildren to visit with my father and siblings over the Christmas holidays. We found the house to be very nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of linens for everyone. The location is great, being just a few minutes from the shops and restaurants in East Aurora. I highly recommend it.

A Total Eclipse Weekend

The Cottage was the perfect place for my family to await the total eclipse of 2024. Opening the door, we were welcomed by charming surroundings inviting us to enjoy a carefree stay. To give you an idea of her meticulous attention to details, Jeni even had eclipse glasses set out there for us. Everything we needed and more was there, including some great coffees. The clouds moved in to cover our eclipse view but we still enjoyed every minute in this very comfortable home away from home.

Perfect spot. Great location.

We really enjoyed how close this house was to downtown East Aurora and how quickly we could access 400 to get downtown or to the airport. The house was great! Perfect for our party of 8. Of note, the stairs going up to second level are very steep. Not an issue for us but older guests or younger kids could struggle with those. Otherwise the house was very welcoming. Living room was very spacious and beds very comfy. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Family Wedding Stay

Excellent home rental!! This is by far the BEST VRBO we have stayed in, and we stay in multiple a year. The pictures describe the home perfectly. Our family were all impressed. You literally need to unpack your suitcases and pick up some groceries and you are all set! Anything you need is on location and the setting is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your immaculate home with us!! 10 stars + Communication was also prefect, we look forward to visiting again. The Brooks Family

Go Bills!

We chose this property because of its location to seeing family and going to a Bills game. Great location and easy access. We did hear some of the street noise as others have mentioned but on the weekend it wasn’t too bad. Monday morning truck traffic was the heaviest; but we were up early to get on the road ourselves. Connecting to the Internet was our only hiccup - no one could access with the password info provided. We had everything else we needed for a great stay for our 8 person group!

Perfect for our Group

Great property, close to our event and local downtown. Set up well for our family. We really liked the upstairs bathroom set up for all of us. All supplies readily available. Struggled with the sound of the busy road. Took the country away for us. All of us (8) but our hearing impaired teen had to wear ear plugs. We now hail from the city and it was loud to sleep in the home. Feel this should be represented in the listing especially when owners are aware since they leave earplugs upstairs for guests! Also, we spent the first 24 hours without internet or TV until we finally realized the internet had been reset and the password given and left was no longer the set password. Once members of our group realized we needed the original password from the modem we were good to go. No thanks to the property manager who never replied to our inquiry on it. Coffee makers need descaling from use. Extremely slow, don’t brew proper amount and leak. Overall, a great property for a family even with our small hindrances.

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! :)
