Ardea Inn
Welcome to the Ardea Inn! Lavinia and I welcome you to our home and hope your stay is comfortable and relaxing! We have been hosting guests from all over the world for nearly 5 years and we are excited to host you. We’ve created an inviting, comfortable, and private space, while also adding features unique to the Niagara Falls area. We encourage our guests to look beyond the Falls and extend your stay! The region has a lot to offer. Toronto is an amazing international city and is just 90 minutes drive North, Buffalo is an eclectic city with several architectural destinations, and Lockport to the East offers a interesting glimpse into the transportation history of our region. Check them all out! We look forward to the opportunity of hosting you! Cheers, Michael and Lavinia

About Us
Read MoreMy daughter Lavinia and I have been hosting guests at our home for the last 5 years. We spend most of our time in Buffalo these days, but enjoy weekend retreats to the Falls whenever possible. We absolutely love Niagara Falls. Lavinia highly recommends that if possible you book a trip on the Maid of the Mist. After reading in our hammock next to the Rapids, it is definitely our favorite destination. We also love spending time in the Niagara Falls State Park, which is absolutely beautiful and allows almost direct access to the Niagara River just above the Falls. On Goat Island you can get very close and feel the power of the Falls in several places. If you have a passport, you can walk across the Rainbow Bridge and take in views from the Canadian Side. There are also several more restaurant options on the Canadian side of the Falls.
The best attribute of our home is the walkability. You can walk to the Falls in 15 minutes, Whirlpool State Park in 15 minutes, the Aquarium in about 15 minutes, and resturants and shops on 3rd Avenue in about 15 minutes. Our neighborhood is very safe and most of our neighbors are homeowners. At the end of the street, they removed a four lane highway and built a park. It runs the full length of the NIagara Gorge from Niagara Falls State Park to Whirlpool State Park.
We spent a lot of time restoring our Victorian Home. We have beautiful hardwood floors, vintage lighting, spacious bathrooms, 9' ceilings, a large piano room, game room, kitchen, and dining area. We also provide guests with a fully stocked kitchen, breakfast provisions, and a wide assortment of coffee and teas. People boast about our breakfast options on all of our platforms. The art work we've selected and hung throughout the house is all created by local artists and is all available for sale to our guests. We have very comfortable beds, cozy linens and comforters, and plush towels. Our space is always impeccably clean and we've tried to consider every detail to improve the comfort of your stay.
Niagara Falls is one of the most powerful and magical wonders in the world. We hope you enjoy your visit and we are grateful that you have chosen our home for your stay!
