About this house rental
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 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 has three 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 second floor has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The third floor has another full bath. If steps are difficult for you, this might not be the house for you.
There is currently free parking available across the street. If that is not available, there is free parking on 4th Street around the corner.

Very friendly host. The house is really in minutes to aquarium and falls. This is old house, not fancy but good to stay after long walk and cook dinner.
In the kitchen, where you can find all the dishes and even different spices and sugar). Thanks

Hello
We had short trip mid April 24’ (4days) to the Falls me and my friends from Europe,
Pros
Location location location is everything, place is unbelievable located in the middle of everything,
Up to 8-9 min walk to rainbow bridge, us side falls, aquarium, park , restaurants ,
We couldn’t get better place for our trip than Carroll house,
Now about the host
Carroll great host , very responsive and patient that’s all what You need from the host
If You expect fireworks from Your rental place ( jacuzzi, marbles, golden toilets ect ) don’t rent this place
But if all You need is spacious, extremely clean, cozy , warm place to stay , 3 Bd , 2 bth , large living space ?
Carroll place is this place
Cons
Couldn’t find one

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.

Minutes to the Falls and the border, really comfortable house!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Convenient location!
This place is just across from the aquarium as described. It is so close to the state park and main falls area. Descriptions are accurate so we were not expecting glitz and glam, just convenience and everything we needed! We had a great stay.

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.

Fantastic
The property is very well maintained and so perfectly located neat the falls. We walked to the island and spent the whole day there and walked back to the house. Restaurants and stores close at hand. The neighborhood is charming and upcoming, felt safe, no worries.

Near all-things-Niagara
Our experience here suited our group well (2 adults and 2 kids ages 5 & 10). It was close enough to everything we wanted to do in Niagara Falls, and even close enough to walk. It is pretty much right across the street from the Aquarium. There is no parking immediately near the rental, but the on-street parking around the corner was easy enough to figure out with the instructions left by the owners. The neighborhood does appear to be a bit run down, but we never felt unsafe. The rental itself was clean and as pictured.

Walking distance to falls
We were very comfortable in the house. Very clean. Took a nice walk to the falls. Got to eat lunch at the house before heading back out on the trails to whirlpool rapids. No parking at the house though.

Great family weekend at the falls! House was exactly as described. Cozy yet roomy, great distance to the falls. Noisy steps but it’s an old house. Would return.

Great location & well-equipped accommodations
This is an old house (which I love!) on three floors that was a great fit for me, my husband, and adult daughter with 2-year old granddaughter. Check-in was easy, the house was very clean, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Communicating with the responsive owners was friendly and helpful. There were a couple of issues that were easily managed. Overall, the house is well-equipped with kitchen utensils and appliances, plus typical household supplies like paper goods, trash bags, and variety of toiletries. If you plan to cook, as we always do when we travel, note that you will not find usual pantry items with the exception of salt and pepper. Since we asked prior to our arrival, we knew this and simply brought our own.
The location was terrific for us as we were able to walk everywhere, even with a 2 year old. We had dinner out one evening, right down the street, at a delicious Indian restaurant, and while there are some areas/buildings that appear rundown or neglected, we never felt unsafe walking around the neighborhood. In fact, as someone who appreciates the history and architecture of old homes, I enjoyed this very much!
This was a perfect getaway for all of us.

Good location, good value
We had plenty of space for a family of 4 with good value and convenient to Niagara Falls and the nearby State parks. It’s not an upscale neighborhood, and I wouldn’t recommend arriving after dark - best to get your bearings first during daylight - but we had a nice time and the owner was easy to work with. Highly recommended.

Fabulous stay. Walking distance to everything
My boyfriend and I took our 4 girls (19,17,12,&11) for a trip out of the city. The house was awesome. Across the street from the Aquarium. Walking distance to the falls. All 4 girls were happy

Family mini vacation
We decided last minute to go on a short trip since our original vacation was cancelled due to covid. The house was described accurately in the listing. It was in a great location. We walked to the aquarium one day and it was only a short drive to the falls. Walmart and other restaurants were only a short drive as well. The owners were great and communication was the wonderful. I can't say I wasn't a little Leary of the area when we were driving in but it really isn't as bad as it looks. We had a great time despite some things not bring open but that no fault of the owners and we were aware and did our research before going. As for Covid- I felt very comfortable staying here and felt it was very clean.

Clean but old
The property is in a great location for everything you want to do in and around the falls.
The house was probably built in the 1940 there are no restrooms on the main level you must climb 2 flights of very noisy stars just use a restroom then if you are with other people you will need to climb 2 more flights of noisy stairs to use the other bathroom. If you have any problems with stairs you would not want to rent this house, but if you have someone with you that might want to sneak around it won’t happen in this house.
It was clean and the land lord was really great to work with.

Clean and Convenient
The property was in easy walk of the Aquarium , Discovery Center and shuttle to all the Falls locations. The property is around 100 years old and has been remodeled. The bedrooms are on the second floor (as is one of the bathrooms) nd the second, and largest bathroom is on the third floor. The stairs are very creaky, but we got use to it. The cleanliness and convenient location make this property a value.

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.

Niagara - great location!
We loved being close to the Aquarium and Trolley. It made the Niagara vacation an easy walkable or Trolley-riding experience.

A short walk to the Falls.
The property is perfectly located and well maintained. It is a short walk to the Aquarium, Discovery Center, Rainbow Bridge, and American Falls. Plus, you can catch the "free" shuttle at the Aquarium, which runs on time and provides access to downtown and Fort Niagara. The neighborhood was quiet and Carroll and Andre responsive and very friendly.
