Guests describe it as warm and inviting, with a helpful and responsive host
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 a group of 12. There are lots of great running/walking paths nearby. There is a workout area and a lovely front porch and back patio. We are also a fragrance-free home and use all nontoxic cleaning supplies. We are within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, bars, museums, and parks.

The space
We are in the best location and close to a few universities and walking distance to many restaurants, bars and shopping. We are also very close to the park, museums and art galleries.

Our Air BNB has a HEPA medical-grade air purifier on the second floor that cleans the air of toxins and chemicals. The Austin Air Healthmate Plus® Air Purifier has broad-spectrum absorption and will remove the widest range of chemicals and VOCs, as well as allergens, pet dander, dust, mold, viruses, bacteria, and formaldehyde. We also have an Intellipure air purifier on the third floor. We have reverse osmosis for drinking water and a whole-house water treatment/softener for the entire home. We are also a “green” home and use all nontoxic cleaning supplies; most mattresses are made with natural materials. All bedding is cotton and mostly organic. The entire house has central air conditioning and a few window units on the third floor for additional comfort. (Therese has a podcast on healthy living called Green Living with Tee with over 320 episodes)

Downtown Buffalo and Canalside are 3 miles away, and Niagara Falls is about a 20-25-minute drive. We can also recommend a beautiful drive to the Falls along the river in Canada. (You will need your passport for this drive.) Elmwood Village is a quaint area full of shops, restaurants, museums, and parks. Park your car, and you can walk the neighborhood.

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 stripped and preserved. Most of the woodwork is quarter-sawn oak. The restoration we did was featured on HGTV, Restore America.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire home except 2 rooms we use for storage.

Other things to note
The house is over 110 years old and is 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.

“A beautiful house in the middle of Olmsted’s Buffalo park system—step outside and your on the parkway. Utterly sumptuous. Restaurants galore are a short walk away, and just down the parkway is Delaware Park. Hundreds of acres of meadow, forest, and lake ready for you to explore. I spent a week exploring Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and I can’t imagine a better home to enjoy as my landing pad. I was solo, but the space is large and very comfortable. I can’t wait to return with my family.” Mark a guest in July 2026 - he is a photographer specializing in Olmsted parks. Both, likely. He takes panoramic images and turns them into virtual tours online at panorambles . com
