10 min. Walk to the Falls

A quick walk, half a mile, to the Falls themselves. FREE Wi-FI. Conveniently located near a supermarket and public transportation. Niagara Falls Retreat is one half of a duplex. The Great Gorge Guesthouse is the guesthouse next door. It is located in the Park Place Historic District, across the street from the Niagara Falls Aquarium. The house is a 2-family duplex and you will be staying in one side. We are in a urban area that is being revitalized and is a half mile from Niagara Falls. The city is a typical rust belt city that has seen better days but is slowly on the rebound. It is an urban environment that is socio and economically mixed. The house was built in 1910 - it is not new and shiny - it has old house quirks.

At Falls Retreat, you can:

* Relax in the large common area.

* Prepare your own meals in the fully stocked kitchen.

* Access free WI-FI anywhere in the house.

The house is three stories and has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The large living and dining area and kitchen are on the first floor. It is fully furnished for you to make yourselves at home. The kitchen is stocked with all the items you need to make your own meals if you wish. If you are not into cooking, there are restaurants 1 block away on Third Street and more nearer the Falls.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the upper floors. If steps are difficult for you, this might not be the house for you.

There is free parking on 4th Street around the corner.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

Historic charm

Clean, comfortable, spacious, fully equipped home with lots of historic charm. Location was fantatic to walk and see nightly fireworks at the falls. The Ontario side of the falls has better views but we found it to be significantly more crowded. It's totally worth getting passports, though, if you are not Canadian. Go visit Niagara Falls, Ontario!

Cute house in great US Niagara Falls Location

This home was clean and well equipped for our stay. We walked to the falls and trolly stops nearby. With the house being historic, the electrical is a little limited (expected). The US side of Niagara has some great local restaurants but entire blocks and downtown strip could use rehab and development.

The pros: Great location. Big space for families. The house was clean. Carroll the host was very quick with communication. Things you should know: I had to plunge the toilet with very little toilet paper use, the bathroom sink drained very slowly (slow enough to leave a ring of soap), the house is stocked with cooking pans but bring your own ziplocks, etc. I could not find a pen or paper (one pencil and two crayons found). The host will provide one towel and wash cloth per week. Neighborhood looks dilapidated but no safety concerns.

Decent house close to Niagara Falls

The only positive I found in this property was it's closeness yo Niagara Falls. Everything else left a lot to be desired. Despite charging a cleaning fee, the entrance to the house had a non-Halloween cobweb. We were expected to remove the bedsheets and pillow covers because of "house rules". None of the bathrooms had any hot water causing us to take a shower in what can best be described as lukewarm water. The thermostat in the house was capped at 72 degrees and I had to reach out to the owner to increase the temperature beyond that! To be clear, none of these issues by themselves were deal breaker for us however all of them combined caused this property to fall below expectations!

Questionable Neighborhood

Carroll was great to work with. The property was very clean and was true to the description. It is clearly a very old home. I know that some people like homes with a lot of history, but I have to say that I really didn't like the fact that the VERY creaky stairs woke up my kids as I climbed them. The air conditioning vents are in peculiar places so the air didn't move around well and it was actually blowing directly on the heads of my daughters as they slept because the vent is located right along the pillows of the low-framed bed, which caused a nose bleed. The water pressure was good and the water was hot, but the kitchen appliances, pots, pans and utensils are clearly old and very used. I do feel that the unit was a bit overpriced for what it is, but it served its purpose. My biggest concern was the neighborhood. We had to walk around at night due to our desire to go see the fireworks and I was quite nervous. During the daytime hours I had seen some suspicious-looking people walking around. There are many abandoned homes and many more that are clearly vacant, for sale and in disrepair. While we walked home we even passed one house that had boards of the windows, but the front door was wide open and there wasn't any light inside. THAT made me nervous! There are a few well-kept homes in the neighborhood, but there are equally as many vacant or run down properties. All in all we enjoyed our visit to Niagara Falls and this property met our needs, but if we ever return I think I would prefer to stay in a hotel.

Just As Described

It was very close to the falls and Canada border crossing which was super convenient. The couch was comfy and bed was sufficient. The decor is super retro/old which isn't my vibe at all. It was a big depressing. The shower head in the 2nd floor bathroom was super low. I'm 6' and it hit me at mouth level. The 3rd floor's was better, but I had to be careful so I didn't hit the ceiling since it was slanted. Most of this is more personal taste. Overall, it worked for my friends and I so I'm giving it 5 stars.

Lots of Space Close to the Falls

The duplex was what was advertised. It is very old but well maintained and clean. Lots of stairs. There is no laundry or dishwasher on site. It was a short walk to the Falls. I was glad we arrived during day light to figure out the free parking around the block. Over all it was a nice place for our family to spread out. Thanks.

First Time in Niagara Falls

Found online. Easy 10-15 minute walk to the Falls. Quick drive to Whirlpool and Devils Hole SP to hike the gorge trails. Honestly, at first glance we weren’t sure of neighborhood and the home but as with most things, can’t judge a book by its cover. Comfortable inside, cool despite the uncharacteristic heat advisory in effect, and kitchen was adequately stocked. Beds reasonably comfortable. Floors quaintly squeaky due to the age of the home. Would stay again if we take another trip to the Falls.

Niagara historic home

Location could not be better, easy access to all the falls/parks. Walk 1/2 block and view nightly fireworks. Comfortable, but beware the stairs are very steep, would not recommend for non-agile people. My only complaint would be the linens had a strong fragrance that irritated my nose/sinuses. Bath towels and flatware in the kitchen could be updated, but everything you need is provided.
