This estate sits up on a hill in downtown Lewiston, so you're isolated from the hustle-bustle of the town. We were there during a full-blown arts festival but we never heard a thing. Very tranquil and loads of space both inside and outside.

We had a family of 10 with 2 children. Perfect location as within walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants and close drive to Niagara Falls. Diane was a gem. She kept in constance contact to insure our stay was perfect. The Mansion layout is perfect for large families. Great livingroom areas to either join or have some quiet time to yourself. Highly recommended.

The Mansion is a unique location in a beautiful little town - located walking distance to anything including the Niagara River. Lots of room and character - much more memorable than staying at a hotel. Will be a pleasant memory for years to come.

The historical ambiance of the Mansion made this one of my most incredible VRBO experiences. Eight of us came to Lewiston to play in a golf tournament and the property was perfect for us. We had lots of room to spread out, plenty of bedrooms, had a big kitchen to cook our meals in and comfy chairs to sit outside at night and rest from our day. The gardens were so pretty and it was nice to sit under the canopy of trees. The communication from the host was spot on, she answered all my queries and even called and texted to make sure we were okay. The message that she sent us with the historical information about the house made our stay that much more special. Thanks so much for sending us helpful information about the area and things to do!

Though this seams to be a 200 Year old property and big space, The Maintenance was very poor. Bad odor in the toilet Blankets are not washed Wooden floors are giving sound like its going to fall There was hole in the second floor bathroom, where if water is leaked, it was wetting the kitchen:(. So you cannot use the bathroom above the Kitchen when you are cooking Please try for some other option for better price

The Barton Mansion is absolutely incredible- the history of this beautiful building, location in the heart of Lewiston, and spectacular architecture …not to mention comfortable beds, tons of space and sheer size! Diane was wonderful to connect with and very responsive. I look forward to renting the mansion again and would absolutely recommend this stunning home.
