Fantastic place about sums it up in my book. I have never stayed in bed and breakfast so I was little unsure if it's going to be a hit or a miss. CLEAN is what I noticed first, place is clean and has a very relaxing feel. It has a old look to it, yet its modern in its own way. Breakfast was very nice too.
Convenient location, you can walk everywhere. -

Wonderful! Just got back from Niagara falls for my anniversary with the girlfriend. Our stay at the Hillcrest Inn was simply amazing!
The inn is a 5 minute walk from Goat Island (the island between the American and Canadian Falls), and a 15 minute walk away from the Rainbow Bridge over to Canada.
The house itself is a Georgian style mansion that had been renovated just over three years ago, when the current owners (a young couple with a very cute 3 year old daughter) moved in.
Cassidy is the perfect host... giving us lots of information about the local attractions and restaurants.
Saving the best for last is the scrumptious breakfasts that Cassidy and her husband prepared. Each day we were greeted by gourmet meals (one day we had creme brulee French toast, poached egg, and thick slices of hickory smoked bacon, the second we had crepes, potato hash, and a scrambled egg with chive). Delicious!! -

If you are interested in a weekend get-away to the American side of Niagra Falls, Hillcrest Inn is the place to stay. The accommodations are amazing, the view is fantastic and the food, wonderful.
My wife and I stayed here last year during the winter as a means of getting away and relaxing. We had such a splendid time. The best part is you are a five minute walk from the falls and though it may be extremely cold in the winter, the view of the falls is to die for.
Go at night to see the falls illuminated in red and green and you simply won't forget it.
We also made a stop in Buffalo to do some shopping upon the suggestion of the owner and couldn't have had a better time. -

Absolutely incredible. Cassidy was the perfect host and her little girl is adorable. I can't wait to stay again.
P.S. The creme brulee french toast was incredible!! -

Cassidy and her daughter Isabella host such wonderful accommodations. The downstairs guest living areas are absolutely beautiful. Clean and spacious with a "younger" antique feel. The living room boasts a gas fireplace and two great seating areas. There is also an enclosed sunroom with great lighting and seating as well as a selection of teas and coffee.
I found it so easy to sit by the fire with the house's classical music in the background and do work.
I stayed in the Hillcrest Suite - comfortable bed, great private bath and a lot of personal touches.
Your also within walking distance of the falls & Goat Island.
Cassidy is a wonderful hostess. This place is definitely worth the lost Starwood points! Truly embodies a great B & B experience! -

How could I not give this place five stars. The bedroom was amazing, the breakfast was also amazing. Walking distance to anywhere we needed to go in Niagara and the host was able to tell us places we should for sure visit. I am not sure we would of had as amazing of a time had she not. I am not sure when I will be back but when I am I will pay this place a visit

Wow. Where to begin? I just don't think I could say enough good things about Cassidy and the Hillcrest Inn. Let me start off by saying my wife and I have stayed in A LOT of B&B's around the US and Europe... and this one is the best by far. Lets talk about the house first. Its gorgeous! the guest areas are beautiful, and surprisingly, filled with pictures of her family. This might bother some people but I really found it charming. The bedrooms are amazing. We stayed in the Hillcrest Suite with its fourposter bed and fantastic bathroom but the others were great too (we were there alone on our first night so she showed us around). The location id fantastic. Its away from the busy part of the city and it looks right over the upper rapids and the upper end of Goat Island. It is literally a 5 minute walk (a beautiful one I might add) to Goat Island, and you could reach the falls in under 10 minutes.
The food is unbelievable. She made us Creme Brulee French Toast and blueberry scones our second morning and I thought I had gone to heaven. She even made extras for our trip home.
The service is fantastic. The stairs creak so she can hear you coming down and she is always right there to offer advice or anything else you need. She knows the area well so she always has ideas about what to do. She suggested we take a trip up to Niagara-on-the-Lake. We had never heard of it and we are very glad we didn't miss it. I think that this is my one area where I have a complaint... she cleans too much!!! She unpacked out clothes for us, put everything away... she even folded my dirty laundry including my dirty underwear! So, if that will bother you, make sure you do something with it.
Now for the hostess. Cassidy has got to be one of the sweetest people we have ever met. We spent several hours just talking with her everyday... by the time we left, we felt like we were leaving an old friend. I think it helped that we have both spent a great deal of time traveling the world (We have lived in Germany). She has been to Europe, she lived in Japan, etc. It gave us something in common but I tend to think that people who spend a lot of time traveling outside their home country share a kind of kinship. Maybe its just me. I love that she had a daughter the same age as our oldest. Isabella is so cute. We have been told that next time (not if) we visit we must bring our daughter.
