Amazing and beautiful yurt right next to the Niagara River in a charming town. The home was built only in 2015 with love and care, personally designed by the owner-builder. There is nothing like this home in the area! If the beautiful wood ceiling won't amaze you then the gorgeous details will. Sleep on a comfortable queen size bed with extra space for one more on a large and comfy couch if needed. Enjoy a gorgeous, brand-new Italian tile shower in our newly renovated 3-piece bathroom. Stayin the loveliest home for the famous Gateway Harbor season and Canal Fest!

This is a yurt on a large corner lot. The water view can be seen right from the front windows and is 1 min walk away, if that. There is a large semi-circle driveway shared with another unit (homes are completely separate). You can easily fit two cars here. There is no overnight street parking November to April.

Please note that the TV is a streaming Roku TV with access to 1,000 free live TV domestic and international channels (Buffalo WGRZ is available) as well as any streaming channels you subscribe to (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc.). This is not cable television.

A starter pack of shampoo/conditioner and a small bar of soap is provided for your convenience. Please be sure to bring your own preferred toiletries should you need more than 3 days worth.

As part of our commitment to providing a welcoming experience and aesthetic, we occasionally update the home’s interiors with added touches of design and comfort. While furnishings, wall colors, and decorative details may vary slightly from the photos, each element is thoughtfully selected to include organic greens, soft coffee tones, and natural wood accents. To ensure the highest standard of cleanliness and sophistication, all bed linens are kept in pristine white.

Home is thoroughly first cleaned with a disinfectant solution of bleach and water where possible (commercial grade cleaner elsewhere). Commonly used areas like light switches, handles, door locks, toilets, showers, remotes, etc. are then additionally sanitized with steam. Linens are washed with commercial grade detergent with hot water and mechanically dried on high heat.

There is audible live music from a nearby restaurant starting approximately in May through September. They play at various hours (not all day and not everyday) but the restaurant's operating hours are approximately 11 AM to 8:30 PM, 7 days a week. They have great ice cream!

Stay in a beautiful and historic neighborhood where convenience is just minutes away. A famous carousel museum, antiquing and wonderful restaurants are right in town, 5 mins away. There's even a castle in town! Niawanda Park/Niagara River is just steps from the front door. Playground, other parks, 7/11, supermarket are all a 3 min drive down the road. Target, other big box stores, outlets, SUNY Buffalo, city of Buffalo are just 15 mins away, Niagara Falls, Niagara-Buffalo Airport (BUF) and the Canadian border 20 mins away, Toronto 90 mins away.

    This property was perfect for a quick getaway to Western NY. It was very convenient and located in a nice neighborhood near the Niagara River. The walking trail was a two-minute walk. This yurt is also convenient to Buffalo at about a 20 minute drive. We loved the spacious, but it also had a cozy feel. What we didn't love was the bed. I think if the host were to upgrade slightly to a more comfortable bed, like a combo memory foam and spring bed, I think the stay would have been 5 stars. We just didn't sleep much that first night. Everything else was perfect!

    What a great place to stay! The location is perfect, walking distance to the river and quite a few restaurants close by. Jolee was great to work with, gave us a nice list of places to see/eat. Our only down would be that it would have been nice to have a covered area to sit under outside. It was very hot while there and we tried to sit out and listen to the band from the corner restaurant, but the heat was too much. Otherwise, highly recommend! Will stay here again if we're in the area.

    The layout of the room and the decor was wonderful. The shower floor needs attention. Tonawanda is a great town. We took advantage of all the local restaurants and taverns. All the local food was fantastic. We would recommend the whimsical yurt to anyone!

    We had a very nice stay while visiting for a Bills game. The location was nice and quiet with quick access to main roads and the interstate. A much cooler option than a hotel! The WiFi was a little inconsistent.A minor note: If you have acid reflux/GERD, sleep with your head toward the middle of the room. The bed slopes on a slight downward angle towards the wall.

    The location was perfect for a Buffalo / Niagra weekend trip. Jolee was an amazing host and her instructions were very clear. She was also very quick on response times. Only reason for not giving 5 stars was the many cob webs and the yurt had poor sound proofing from the outside which made for some early morning awakings. I would absolutely recommend this yurt to any couple for a few days! proofing

    The yurt is ideally located. We went to the riviera for a show. It was a 5 min drive. We went to an event at keybank center, a 20 min drive. The park across the street sits right on the river and only a 5 min walk. A few min to the grocery store. I was initially looking for a nice hotel but found the yurt. It didnt cost anymore than a hotel. The neighborhood felt safe as we were out late. The host responded promptly to questions. We would stay again.
