Great comfortable place
We were in town for a concert at Darien Lake. This place was only about 10 mins away. About 45 mins from Niagara Falls. Home was pretty nice. I love “tiny homes” and there was plenty of space. There is a loft as well if someone has kids. We walked to a local restaurant that had an amazing breakfast. Would love to stay here again.

Perfect for Two ♥️
Very cozy, clean, and host (Theresa) was very friendly. It was a quick visit for us, but all the accommodations were very much appreciated! I highly recommend for a couples retreat to a remote retreat away, rural town or 2-3 girlfriends weekend. Not to mention the the Wellness Spa across the street ♥️

Cute and clean
We needed a place to stay overnight close to Darien Lake Six Flags, and found this which was perfect because it was roughly a 12 minute drive from the park. The place was cute, and clean, in a very quiet neighborhood ( huge bonus there!) It is close to railroad tracks so we did hear trains passing, but that did not bother us at all. Kitchen was well stocked with things if you wanted to prepare meals. The only thing that we didn’t care for was the essential oil burner that had eucalyptus. ( that’s what it smelled like) Being such a small place, the smell was very strong and we did turn that off because it gave me a headache. I’m just sensitive to strong smells, so that’s not really a negative thing… most people would probably love it. I just couldn’t have it running overnight. We stayed there with 2 adults and 2 children ages 7 & 9. There was one full size bed on the ground floor, and one single size air mattress in the loft that the kids shared. They didn’t mind but another mattress in the loft would have been more comfortable. You have to park across the street at a business that is also owned by the hosts, but because it’s a quiet neighborhood and seemed very safe, this wasn’t a big deal. All in all we enjoyed our overnight stay and would recommend it.

We were spending the day at Darien Lake and even though we live close, we wanted a place to go in the afternoon to take a break. The tiny cottage is wonderful! Walked to the coffee shop for coffee cake and cinnamon rolls to add to our breakfast.

Beautiful and perfect for Darien Lake Concert
We stayed with our teenage son. It was just as the pictures show. Very modern and clean inside. All the amenities were included. Host was very responsive and flexible. The house is only 10 minutes from Six Flags Darien Lake so was very convenient for our concert that night. Would defiantly stay again!

Convenience and comfort
We had a wonderful stay at the tiny cottage while visiting family in the area. The accommodations were clean and comfortable for me and two kids ages 10 and 8. We had everything we needed to cook breakfast in the morning (didn’t cook other meals) and found the layout and organization of the tiny space very easy for us to maneuver. The place is clean and thoughtfully designed. It was a very hot week and the kids were still comfortable in the loft with the additional fan. We are grateful to have found this place, making our visits much easier!

Little cozy cabin
Theresa has created the perfect little oasis in the charming town of Alden. The property was immaculate, warm, and very tastefully decorated. She even added little details like battery, operated candles. The appliances were all modern. The shower was magnificent. I only used the bed on the main floor, but it was extremely comfortable. It is conveniently only about 40 to 45 minutes from Niagara Falls. I would absolutely stay again, plus I will make sure that I leave enough time in my schedule to schedule a massage and or facial at the beautiful wellness center across the street. I have already discussed it with one of my friends that we should make a girls weekend getaway!

Love this little cottage!
This was our second stay at Theresa’s cottage. We just love how cute and homey it feels. Theresa is a great host and was able to accommodate our need to drop our belongings off early. It was super comfortable and a great place to stay after a long day out in the cold. Would definitely recommend Theresa’s place and we’re looking forward to visiting it again in the future!
