REVIEWS: > - "This has been our meeting place for many years. GLENN, our host, has been the reason we keep coming back. He takes care of all our needs and I can count on a well maintained property."
---------
We had a great time. The view of the River at this house just can't be beat. Photos do not do it justice. Also, We were very glad that the owner was around to help us with a medical emergency and was able to take my mother to the hospital. It turned out ok, but could have ruined our vacation. So, thank you Glenn for your help right when we needed it!!

" Glenn was an excellent host and very helpful. Great communication and assistance. The house was wonderful and the views from the backyard are great! Perfect location for Buffalo and Niagara Falls. " Chris

My fiancé and I stayed at the Niagara River Inn last winter. The house on the river is beautiful and the river was stunning with the ice and snow ! Glenn couldn't have done a better job in making sure we had everything we needed. Kitchens, bathrooms came fully stocked and there was plenty of entertainment provided. Glenn also provided us with a map of all the local hot spots including all of the best restaurants, grocery stores and tourist sites.
Thank you Glenn! Matthew Tennett Hartboro, PA

We spent one of the most enjoyable weekends we have had when we recently stayed at the Niagara River Inn to have a close view of the Grand Island Poker Run.
We would never have dined in local restaurants on Grand Island and appreciate Glenn's advice... it was spot on. Looking forward to spending a weekend there each summer.

Hi Glenn: Staying at your home made ALL the difference in our vacation to the Buffalo area for my niece's wedding. The home is ideally situated, spacious, well-stocked, and reasonably priced. We would definitely return on future trips to the area to visit my family. Thank you Glenn -- Sincerely ~ Marsha Grim Fullerton, CA

Moody & Smith family - This is a 5 star home ! The location was perfect. It is right in between Niagara Falls and Buffalo. It was very convenient for sightseeing. There were 9 of us aged 9 to 59. There was plenty to keep everyone occupied. The youngest loved fishing on the dock and swimming in the pool. The teenagers loved the pool and theater room. They all enjoyed smores at the firepit. The older ones enjoyed the deck overlooking the water watching the ducks, geese and the daily heron visit.
----------
The house was as described and more. We have been staying at vacation rental homes for over 15 years and this is by far the best stocked home we have stayed at. It has literally everything you will ever need. And, what a bonus to have Glenn as a host ! He let us borrow his computer as we forgot ours and gave us great advise on a super restaurant !
------------
We ate out but the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed including a bottle of wine, spices, coffee, filters and a complete array of pots and pans.
Glenn was a pleasure to work with. He is onsite and available to offer advise and take care of the pool and hot tub. THANKS GLENN FOR SOME WONDERFUL MEMORIES!!
-----------
We had a wonderful time & want to come back. Great vacation property and you have kept it up very well. We loved the Pool, Hot Tub, Foosball and Pool Table. Maps and all the extras are a very nice touch. And, thank you for the use of your computer !

Could not have found a better place to stay!
The Niagara River Inn made our trip memorable. Excellent place to stay with family and friends. Owner of the home, Glenn, is very kind and very helpful person. His kindness and care shows in every inch of the house. He provided us with great touring tips and also to loan us a computer. My husband forgot his laptop and we could not thank Glenn enough since he loaned us his laptop. We enjoyed the hot tub, grilling and sitting by the river. Very peaceful, well maintained property right on the Niagara river.
My kids 4 year old and 2.5 year old keep asking me when are we going back.
My sister was visiting me from India for 3 weeks and this trip was the best memory that she could carry with her back home...thanks to Niagara River Inn.

Whoa, nice view Our stay in November was great. The view of the River is great and the location could not be better. The house offers more than any others and we enjoyed the firepit by the water and TV that is huge, a very nice feature. I recommend it

We (family of 10) stayed at Glenn’s home for a short vacation. Age range of 15 to 70. Location is perfect to visit all the attractions on the American or Canadian side. The inside of the home is exactly as he described, well maintained and stocked with extras in the kitchen and bathrooms. We literally just needed to bring our own food and drinks. Pool is gorgeous and hot tub felt wonderful after exploring all day. The teens loved to fish off the docks. I might add Glenn had a couple fishing poles sitting out for our use. About a 5 minute drive away is the Blue Water Marina where we rented kayaks. Glenn also directed us to some great restaurants located nearby. Glenn does have a residence in a lower level apartment, no worries everyone had their private areas. Not a problem.

This home was everything it was promised to be and even more beautiful than the pictures. We (family of 4 with 2 teenagers) all had a wonderful time. The property is so peaceful and well maintained. The backyard view cannot be beat. The pool was wonderful, perfect temperature and has a really nice shallow end if you have smaller children. Close to the falls and other attractions but removed enough to have peace and quiet. The beds are comfortable, it has a large great room with lots of dining seating. Everything you need for cooking is provided, including a grill. The owner, Glenn, is very nice, respectful, and he does not intrude on your stay. Do not hesitate to book this home if you’re looking for a place to experience Niagara Falls and the surrounding area.

An absolute GEM of a property!
Everything is exactly as you see it online and in the description. Just an absolutely wonderful location right on the niagara river. Glenn met us when we arrived and was super helpful with getting us acclimated to the general area. Although there are three small restaurants on Grand Island, “Dick and Jenny’s” is far and away the best (we ate there two nights in a row it was so good). There are also a couple of fast food locations two minutes from the house. Buffalo zoo is 20 minutes from the house, the Navy Yard is 40 minutes from the house, and the airport is only 30 minutes from the house. We had about 50 ducks swim from the river over to the house and hang out down around the dock all afternoon two days in a row, which was really cool as we relaxed on the back deck. The kids also swam in the pool, which was a warm 86°, and also played with the foosball table and pool table. I can’t recommend staying here enough, and we will definitely be back!
