Hockey week with grandsons

We planned to watch several of the grand kids games and one fantastic night at the Sabres game!! So nice to come back to a home not a hotel room. We are planning to do this again next year and will rent this house again. The house is older so some things are a little worn, but all was so comfortable

Family time at the farmhouse

This farmhouse was the perfect location for us while visiting family that lives only a mile down the road. It is an old farmhouse, so of course there are quirks and imperfections. The most noticeable problem was the window blinds. They are tattered and missing in many places. The holes in the bedroom blinds meant lack of privacy and lights shining in the windows at night. Everything was very clean and had what we needed for our visit. The owner was quick to respond to our questions. There was room for everyone and the cost is very reasonable. We didn’t get to use the large yard due to weather but the fire pit are is a highlight of the house. Very wooded and private. While the bathroom is downstairs two of the three bedrooms are upstairs. The beds were comfortable One of the upstairs bedrooms is spacious while the other one and the downstairs bedroom are very small without closets and not much room for suitcases or belongings. The stairs are the biggest drawback for us as they are very steep and narrow making it hard for us older folks to navigate for trips in the night to the bathroom. The house was very cold (55) when we arrived, but did warm up. The central heating has been replaced by individual room units which kept most of the house toasty. There is no unit to heat the downstairs bedroom so we kept the door open to the living room and piled on blankets. We would probably stay here again as it is a super convenient location for us.

Friends and Family stayed at The Shepherd Farmhouse for 3 night ghts & 4 days. We gad great communication with owner/manager of the home.

Our contact was rught in the ball when notifications of electricity reparation. The home was great. We enjoyed ourselves.

Relaxing

My family and I booked this house for a few nights when we were in the area for a family reunion, and it was perfect. A nice and quiet area to go back to and relax at. The fire pit was a nice touch, and just being able to sit outside without having to listen to city noise made it very relaxing. Inside the house was comfortable, with enough space for everyone to chill but not have to be on top of each other. Communication with the owner Walter was excellent, although we didn't have to communicate much, when we did was quick to respond

Clean, modest, affordable

The house was as described. Clean and easy to find. A couple of things to know - the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are steep. We had a hard time keeping it comfortably warm, but to be fair, we were there during the midst of a winter storm with high winds - so challenging for an older home, and plenty of quilts and blankets on hand to keep everyone cozy. The host was VERY accommodating in allowing us to stay an extra night due to poor driving conditions (in fact, a travel ban...) Overall, the price was right, the house welcoming, and the host accessible and kind. We would stay there again.

Country Oasis

This home was perfect for a first time trip to New York. My parents are country people, so the location was fantastic with low traffic on the road and lots of grass and trees around. The staircase is steep, no doubt about it, but it worked out just fine. The property has a very comfortable, "homey" feel and the kitchen was great for making meals in. The washer and dryer were very helpful and it is nice to come home with a suitcase of clean laundry. We only had one very minor issue come up on our last night and the owner was great about it. If I travel to the Buffalo/Rochester area again, I would book this without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet country getaway.

Great place to stay!

Rental was clean, and host provided bottle water and coffee for keurig which was amazing! We stayed for four days and three nights as we were bringing our oldest up for college. Absolutely beautiful property! Apple trees right out the kitchen window. Giant back and side yard that the younger kids and our dog could run around and play in. It was the perfect middle point between Rochester and Niagra. This house, the local people we chatted with, and the breathtaking views on our drive has made us all fall in love with New York. We will definitely book again when we come back up to visit. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Everything was great. Our only issue is that I believe it advertised as having 4 beds and there were three and an air mattress which didn't work properly. So, just be aware, if you're traveling with a larger group, if space is an issue. We managed, and more than that, it's a lovely spot and the management was very helpful and quick to respond to questions, etc. If we have the opportunity we would love to return. Thanks so much.

Peaceful and Relaxing

So much better than a hotel. Peace and quiet was what we were looking for and it is what we found. Bed was comfy, living room was great for hanging out. Water pressure in the shower is a little low and the stairs to upstairs were steep. We just chose the bed downstairs instead. It was the perfect solution for us. Would definitely stay again.

It all worked out but could have been better.

We had a great stay when we were up for a family reunion but ran into a few significant issues. The house was clean and great for the price. But we had to do a lot of improvising that we were not prepared for. The oven did not work so heating up food and cooking for 7 adults was rough. We were also only given 6 towels. We were able to contact the owner and get towels from a bag in the garage. The biggest issue was that the listing reads the there are two queen size beds either in the Master bedroom or one queen bed in each of two master bedroom. There are three rooms and three queen beds. The fourth bed is a broken air mattress. (There is a massive bubble in the center that you have to bend over which is super uncomfortable) With 7 adults, we had no option but to use the broken air mattress as the couch is not big enough to lay on. We made it work but was a huge bummer for the adult who thought they had a bed and did not. A lot of inconvenience. Would have brought our own supplies had we known we would need them. We advised the owner and am sure he will make the adjustments for future guests but wanted to give those a heads up if they are planning to use that fourth bed.
