"On our last couple of visits to the Buff we've had the pleasure of
staying at the Elmwood Village Inn and have enjoyed them
thoroughly! Karen is a delight. The place itself warm and inviting.
And the rooms (we've been in 2 different) are fantastic. It's a great
place with a good vibe and really positive ju-ju. And now, I am really
lovin' the new paint.
Karen - Theresa and I send our love!"

"This is a spectacular place to stay. I stayed with family in the 3rd
floor apartment suite. You can not ask for anything better. It is a
beautiful home that is decorated with incredible sophistication.
There is a continental breakfast served by the way."

"Way to go Karen. Congratulations on the new paint job. I look
forward to getting a room there again soon."

"Refreshingly lovely...

Karen (owner) is an absolute gem!! Rare and unique indeed. I would
only be so lucky to have another opportunity to be able to visit the B
& B again. The rooms are very spacious and the decor is done in
perfection. I don't understand why anyone would have to take cabs
to get breakfast...the Elmwood area is loaded with restaurants, cafes
and shops. Uuuum & what's better pastries made from scratch or
prefabricated breakfast made w/ crap and no love? "

"The Perfect Getaway!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/25/08
My boyfriend and I spent a fantastic long weekend at the Honu
House while attending a wedding in Buffalo. Our room was
beautiful, spacious and decorated to make you feel that you were
staying in a home...not a generic hotel. Our bathroom was splendid--
clean, luxurious with both a tub and separate shower! Karen
provides guests with a a little kitchenette of their own to share with
other guests as well as a lovely morning breakfast. Karen is a great
host and directed us to great eating and tourist spots within walking
distance. We felt like we were staying with a family friend rather
than a stranger. I would absolutely go back if Buffalo weren't so far!"
"Incredible B&B"

"My son just bought a home down the block from this wonderful
B&B. We stayed this past weekend and I must say it was the
absolute best experience we have ever had at a B&B. Karen, the
owner, was so delightful and passionite about her place. Her choice
of decor and wonderful unique pieces that decorate this charming ,
cozy, place are exquisite. Each morning we walked down the
dramatic gorgoeus staircase to fresh muffins or scones, the
newspaper and coffee or tea. The rooms were immaculate and
tastefully decorated. The bed and pillows and sheets are dreamy. We
stayed in the Master suite which was amazing!!!! THIS is the place to
choose!!! Elmwood Village is also a terrific, lively place to visit.
Thanks Karen, We will be back!!! Denise & Peter"
"Thoroughly pleasant experience"
7/13/2009
My husband and I stayed at the Elmwood Village Inn for two nights
on a July road trip through Buffalo, and both the city and the Inn
were pleasant beyond our expectations. The Inn is furnished with
great care and quality and respect for history/culture, like a living
museum. Every piece of furniture or art is a delight for the eyes. The
public rooms felt both gracious and intelligent, laid out and
furnished with a traveler's needs in mind. Our room (the one with
the bathroom across the hall) was quite adequate in size with a very
comfortable bed; even though it faced the street we weren't
bothered by street noise (but if we had, the Inn does offer earplugs).
The bathroom across the hall was huge, with both a shower stall
and a deep, comfortable bathtub with a seemingly endless supply of
hot water (providing a luxurious soak after hours of walking). The
guest kitchenette on the second floor is thoughtfully furnished with,
among other things, a small refrigerator, wineglasses and
corkscrew, a teapot that heats with lightning speed, and a large
selection of teas. We met several very interesting people during our
stay (truly one of the benefits of being at a B&B), and our hostess,
Karen, was truly a gem: a great blend of being fun to talk with as
well as knowing when to leave us alone. And, though we weren't so
interested in Buffalo's major tourist attractions (named historic
homes and galleries and such), we were within a 10-minute walk of
everything we were looking for: great restaurants, a food co-op, the
public library, an evening concert in the park, and my great-
grandmother's old house. This part of Buffalo was very diverse and
fun to walk, and people were surprisingly friendly (when we stood on
the sidewalk looking at our map, three different passersby stopped
to offer help -- now THAT'S hospitality!). Should we come this way
again, we would definitely return to Buffalo, and the Elmwood
Village Inn/Honu House would most certainly be our B&B of choice.
"Sophisticated City Inn"

"In the heart of a thriving city neighborhood in Buffalo, you can
walk to Buffalo State College, the Burchfield Penney Arts Center,
The Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Lexington Real Foods Coop and
Tru-Teas, an authentically eclectic tea shop, gallery. It's a great
place to put up guests coming to town to get a sense of the city
which is authentic and urban. Lots of wonderful neighborhood and
parkway walks and return to comfort and privacy."
