Lewiston is a quaint, historical village as far west in Western NY, as it gets. We are located at the Niagara River between Niagara Falls, NY, and Youngstown, NY. Lewiston is full of good restaurants for any taste and any wallet. This is true for Center Street but some are also hiding in the side streets. There are numerous parks and state parks to visit and numerous activities to participate in, finding something for everyone's taste and preference. Canada (Ontario) is on the other side of the river; the borders are open again. Suggested Local Attractions: There are a lot of touristic attractions around here. Too many to list. Please search the internet for "Niagara Falls" (NY and Canada), "Niagara on the Lake" (CA), "Lewiston" (NY), and Buffalo, (NY). If you want to venture a little farther you may want to include Toronto in your search.

House Rules
No loud music, no excessive drinking and shouting. Keep your friendly dog on a leash please - we live at a busy and pot. dangerous neighborhood road. Please be aware that we have a big and typically friendly dog too. Compatibility with yours, however, should not necessarily assumed before verified. No open fires. No running the generator after 10:00 PM. Just the standard rules of neighborly courtesy.
Location
Access Road Conditions: Standard village road in good condition. This is a private home with a straight driveway, a parallel grass patch, and a concrete patch, both at the left of the house You will have to reverse in (crossing the neighborhood road) and have to be a skilled reverser because it is not on a straight line. The final parking spot on the grass is easy to reach, the concrete patch if desired next to the house is tight (10' width max). If you are good in reversing that one is not a problem either. If the weather is very wet the access is not ideal (grass tends to get muddy). The smaller your trailer or camper van, the easier is it to get in. 5th wheels or large type A campers do certainly not fit There is a standard household 110 V outlet (15 A), which does not provide enough amps to run your air conditioner. There is also a water connection right there. The spot is not useful for extended vacations (we are in the center of the village) but it is good for one or two nights. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: Either on the grassy area next to the driveway or on a public parking lot (no charge) within walking distance.

The BEST experience yet! Wieland was an exceptional host and gave us recommendations that were great. We biked on the trail to Niagara Falls, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. The next day we biked to Niagara on the Lake on trails. Just beautiful. Excellent location. walked just a couple of blocks to town. Thanks again Wieland!
