We loved our stay at the cottage - house was super clean and very comfortable. All amenities that you would want (and more) were available. Easy process on arrival and departure. Great location for wedding in East Aurora and easy drive up to Buffalo. Host Jeni was very helpful and responsive both before and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in the area

Jeni and John have an awesome place here. It was very clean, well stocked and very convenient for needs. The hosts were readily available and answered all questions promptly. You can’t go wrong staying here. We will be back for sure. One note for anyone else staying; the two single beds are in a room off (within) the room with the king size bed. There is no direct access, persons staying in here would have to walk in and out of the king size room. On a side note, Sandy rocks!!!!! Thanks again for opening your place to others. Loved it there!!!

Long Weekend Stay

The Cottage is a perfect blend of old country house and modern convenience. Jeni was a perfect host and responded immediately when we discovered that the TV remote for one of the bedrooms was damaged by replacing it immediately.The property is minutes from downtown East Aurora and a quick hop from route 400 and everything that WNY has to offer!Thanks Jeni!!

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.

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.

Highly recommend!

The Cottage provided perfect accommodations for our family (myself and spouse, 3 daughters and boyfriends) while attending a wedding at Nottinghill Farm (10 minutes away). The four bedrooms were wonderful, allowing hubby and I to stay on first floor, while the adult kids stayed upstairs. The abundance of bathrooms was a real plus, especially the huge bathroom upstairs that allowed all 3 girls to get ready together. The kitchen was well-equipped and we loved the coffee bar. We enjoyed sitting together on the porch, eating in the dining room and relaxing in the spacious living room. We highly recommend this quaint cottage!

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.
