About this house rental
Our historic home is in the lovely Elmwood Village and also on Buffalo Olmsted Parkway land. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is perfect for 1 or a group of 13/14. We offer bikes, running paths, a workout gym and a lovely front porch and back patio. We are also an "eco-friendly" home and use all non toxic cleaning supplies and all beds are made with organic or natural materials. No “fragrance” is ever used in our home.
We are walking distance to a lot of restaurants, shops, museums, universities, art galleries and parks. Many great walking and running paths nearby. There is plenty of free parking available.
Downtown Buffalo and Canalside are 3 miles away and Niagara Falls is about a 20-25 minute drive. We also can recommend a beautiful drive along the river to the Falls. (You will need your passport for this drive.)The Elmwood Village is a quaint area full of shops, restaurants, museums, and parks. Everything in the neighborhood is walking distance.
Our Historic Home was built in 1906 on land surrounded by landscaped circles, parkways and avenues that lead to open public parks. Soldiers Place is one of Olmsted's circles with a center median and broad parkways radiating from it. The streets surrounding Soldiers were named for Civil War Heroes: General Bidwell, Chapin and Lincoln. It is a Georgian inspired Colonial Revival style with a cross gable roof. The front porch has iconic columns supporting clapboard, and a leaded glass window. The inside has been primarily restored to its original form with all of the wood being stripped and preserved. Most the woodwork is quarter sawn oak. The restoration we did was featured on HGTV, Restore America.The house is over 100 years old and in a very historic area of Buffalo along with a Frank Lloyd Wright house across the street. Our home and all the houses in the neighborhood have a great story behind them.

The historic home was beautiful! Very quiet neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Easy driving distance to other area attractions and the
Canadian border. Accommodations and amenities were as described and were great for our family of 13. The large living room was perfect for all of us to spend down time together. We also enjoyed the front porch and back patio.
The host was very quick to respond to any questions and extremely helpful in every way.
We would highly recommend this property especially for a large group!

Perfect location, great host.
If you are looking for a large house (11 of us) and a spot close to everything, look no further. Our kids loved playing in the front yard, full of trees, sticks and plenty space to run around. Restaurants and coffee shops are near by. And Therese is just wonderful. Very attentive, laid back and always a text away. The house is very well equipped - don't think I've ever seen such a range of condiments, and the plants around the house are just dreamy.

Great Buffalo location!
Therese's home in Elmwood was quite charming and ideal for our extended family including a 3 and 5 year old. The yard in front of the house was expansive and ideal for playing with the children since the actual road was quite a ways off. The house was well equipped for all our needs and was an ideal location close to all of our wedding events

Beautiful Home Wonderful Stay
This home was perfect for our weekend family reunion in celebration of a college graduation. Every amenity was available to us including the ability to bring our dog. We even enjoyed our coffee on the front porch with a complimentary morning paper that was delivered each day. This home is a wonderful gem in a beautiful Buffalo neighborhood that hosts a weekly farmer’s market just footsteps away!
