About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Bring family and friends to this beautiful, spacious, open plan log home.
Set back from the road in the quiet town of Marilla, right in the backyard of Buffalo, NY. 15 minutes to East Aurora and only 30 minutes to the city of Buffalo. Surrounded by a treed lot, with private pond and connected to snowmobile trails - there's something to enjoy for every season.
The main floor is up on the second level with an open floor plan that provides a large area for the kitchen, dining room family room. This floor has two full bathrooms. The lower level is a large walkout basement with a dry bar, game area/lounge, and laundry and full bath. You will also find the bedroom with bunkbeds on the lower level while the others are on the main second level. Each bed has washable mattress and pillow protectors.
The backyard has a fire-pit on a generous paved patio, back deck with gas grill and a large pond that is over 200 yards long with bass, perch, bluegills and koi. The front of the house has a large deck overlooking woods. As soon as snow begins to fall the dock will be removed from the pond each year and placed back once warmer weather resumes.
We tried to make the space as kid friendly as possible - we have kids cups, silverware, dishes and a booster seat. We also have a rollaway memory foam bed if you have a toddler that you'd like to sleep ground level and or in the same room as you. The downstairs bunk room is designed with kids in mind. The beds sit low to the ground so that the overall height is not too tall and have a safety rail for the top bunk. If you need a pack and play, highchair or any other needs please let us know so we can provide what you need!
Please note this house is NOT to be used for parties outside of family related events. No underage drinking or ANY smoking is permitted. NO pets.

We had a wonderful stay and created so many memories here! The "lodge" was spacious, close to the airport, and worked perfectly for our group, providing plenty of room for both family and groomsmen to have their own space. The lakefront was a highlight - fishing and kayaking were enjoyed by all - and the open layout made it an ideal setting for our rehearsal dinner of 45 people. A relaxing place even in the midst of wedding week busyness. Thank you!

Perfect Venue for our Family Reunion
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the "Log House" as we called it. We were looking for a nice gathering place for our family reunion, and this home perfectly met our needs. The upstairs Great Room provided enough space and comfortable seating for the adults to mingle and visit, and having the kitchen right there was great because it allowed those who prepped and cleaned up after meals to be a part of the conversations while they worked. The downstairs game room, outdoor yard space and pond gave the kids, teens and young adults lots of space and opportunities to have fun without having to worry about being underfoot of the adults. For those of us who stayed overnight, the beds were comfortable and the various sleeping setups gave us lots of options to choose from. We really appreciated having access to the Washer and Dryer. We only had 1 complaint: the homeowners didn't tell us until the day before check-in that they don't allow shoes to be worn upstairs, which is the main floor with the combined Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen. They said it was because the wood floors get easily scratched. Although we understood their reason, we feel like they should list this house rule on the websites that they advertise their home on so that potential renters can know that house rule upfront. We had elderly relatives traveling in from out-of-town, and since it is not safe for them to walk around with socks, it would have been good to notify them ahead of time. Otherwise, it was great!

Great Rural Retreat!
Enjoyed the accommodations! It was serene and quiet with plenty of amenities. The house was well-stocked with necessities. It accommodated 3 families with children of varying ages with comfort. The kids enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the pond.

Wonderful spot
The place is beautiful. The owners were very helpful when we had some issues getting the dishwasher going. My daughter got ready with all her bridesmaids here before her wedding. There was lots of space and lots of beautiful spots for perfect pictures. The only real downfall was the temperature inside. Our visit was in February. It was hard to heat the place up because of the tall ceilings and open concept. The thermostat also seemed to readjust every 2 hours back down to 60 degrees, which for our family is really cold. We like it warm but maybe it would be ok for others. Overall, it was amazing and the owners were great!

Fantastic lodge for a large family gathering
We highly recommend this large home for a big family gathering. We used it for “home away from home” for our daughter’s wedding weekend. The house was very clean and well stocked. The towels and sheets were super-soft, and the mattresses were very comfortable. We would absolutely book here again!

Amazing Property
Our family was coming into town for the weekend from Georgia and this was the perfect place in a great location for all of us to reunite after 20years!
The house was exactly what we were looking for and next reunion we will be back! Plenty of space for everyone to have their own space in the evenings.
Our favorite part was the outdoor fire pit and views of the backyard with pond with two kayaks to use.
The owners were very responsive answering all questions we had when we arrived. One of the best rentals we have stayed at over the years.

Family Trip
The Marilla rental is beautiful. The layout of the house was perfect for our three-family gathering. All 6 cousins bunked together. They loved having their own space. Grill, outdoor fire-pit/furniture and large yard allowed for fresh air and more additional space. Excellent stay. I recommend visiting 189 Burger in East Aurora for lunch.
