Oma's Guest Haus

My wife and i stayed at Oma's on Sept 17. Karl & Denise made us feel like family. We loved our room, couldn't get enough of the hot tub and always felt totally at ease in their home. We would definitely stay there again and I highly recommend their bed and breakfast. Al and Donna Simpson of Nova Scotia

Five stars for rooms and service for the WiFi, hot tub and drink supply. The hot tub is at the back of the house, has good privacy and a liberal dress code. It isi open 24 hours a day. There is a supply of swim suits that people can borrow if they want to. The refrigerator contains a well varied assortment of bubbly drinks and water for a reasonable price. Breakfast consisted of bacon, eggs and toast with coffee and orange juice. Two upstairs bathrooms are shared by four or five rooms. The hall is short so you are close to the bathroom. We were the only guests the night we were there so we ended up sharing with nobody.

Karl and Denise were very friendly and welcoming, loved the dog and turtle. The hot tub was amazing, with the music setup. Karl's tiki bar was too cool, wish we had an extra day to sit and drink margaritas with them! My only complaint was the twin beds were kinda noisy :-x but I would still go back to Oma's anytime I am in the Buffalo/Niagara falls area! The stay was definitely a good one! Thank you Karl and Denise!

After travelling from one side of the USA to the other, Oma's Guest Haus truely was a home away from home. And for a travelling Kiwi and Aussie this was no mean feat. Its not a matter of if I return for a second stay but rather when. Karl and Denise are definately the hosts with the most. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!!! Lissa 'Kiwi' Brown!

Oma's... A great place to stay.. and the "best kept home of the blues" secret. Karl and Denise are blues fans and often host many of best blues players and singers.. While there check out the wall of memorabilia and photos in the dining room. Good place to stay. Nice folks. Easy to get along with..

My girlfriend and I stayed at Oma's Haus in August and had an amazing time. Everything from the room accommodations and breakfast to the company of the friendly family dog were wonderful! Karl and Denise were great hosts! They're attention to detail when it came to making sure my girlfriend and I were taken care of surpasses any experience I've had in even the fanciest hotel. The location of their bed & breakfast home is very close to Buffalo, just a 10 minute drive to the downtown area, as well as a beautiful public beach. We even had a chance to visit Niagara Falls, which was another short ride away. I recommend they're home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, a sightseeing adventure, or just a good time with good people. We're definitely going back!

Linda and I needed a place to stay on short notice in Buffalo and refused to pay the $200 plus for a hotel during the summer season. On a whim we contacted Karl and Denise who welcomed us to their home. We stayed two nights and thouroughly enjoyed their hospitality. Karl's breakfasts started our days with full bellys, and the short walk to the beach was enjoyed both days. Thanks Karl! Thanks Denise! Kepp the bikes "shiny side up"! Regards, Brian and Linda W. Endicott,ny

This place is a diamond in the rough! We had a wonderful time staying at Oma's guest house. Denise and Karl are wonderful inn keepers and made us feel right at home. They are within walking distance from Lake Erie beach which we did one morning. And also a short distance from all attractions. I know I will be coming back in the near future for my son's upcoming wedding events. Thanks for a great stay!

My wife and I spent 5 nights at the Haus in May, 2010. After having read the prior reviews (I agree 100% with the positive comments in all of them), I cannot add much to what has already been said. As to those reviewers who gave less than 5 stars for cleanliness, I can’t imagine what more they wanted. Nor do I see how anyone could complain about “dining” since the ambience is great, and Karl will competently prepare anything you want for breakfast, when you want it. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for “rooms” is that, in ours, there was insufficient lighting for reading in bed, which my wife and I like to do every night. If you saw Karl away from the Haus, on his Harley, you would never imagine that he is a super host of a B&B. What particularly impressed me and has not been said in previous posts is that Karl will go the extra mile to accommodate you, regardless of your needs, whether they be for bedding washed with fragrance-free detergent, a heavy jacket for visiting Niagara Falls in less than ideal weather, or whatever. I can’t see him denying – or likely anticipating - any reasonable request for individual needs, and I suspect he would cheerfully meet a lot of unreasonable needs as well. Oma’s Guest Haus is one of the best values in the Buffalo area. I highly recommend it.

I first discovered Oma's a couple of years ago when traveling on business and fell in love with this cute and quirky little inn. Karl and Denise always make us feel so at home - it is like staying with friends. The rooms are comfortable, the breakfasts yummy and the setting relaxing. The patio and tiki bar are a great place to hang out after a busy day and the hot tub is a big plus!

My partner & I stayed at Oma's for 2 nights when we were going to and coming back from PA. Oma's is comfortable, homey, clean and just a little bit 'different' than what you'd expect from a B&B in this country. It's reasonably priced, has good fresh cooked full breakfast, and is located in a nice working class neighborhood. We spent most of our free time eating and chatting Karl - a very interesting man

Karl and Denise run a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. It is an exceptional value ($65 a night) as well as being a wonderful experience. I was treated like a visiting family member. You have full access to the house with a hot tub, bar and lounge area, and inexpensive honor fridge loaded with water, beer and other drinks. Rooms were clean and comfortable. If you are every staying in the Buffalo/Niagara area, I highly encourage anyone to stay here (especially if you like the Blues).

We stayed at Oma's in July with a big group (7 people, including 3 kids and an old lady) and staying at Oma's was like being at home. Everyone in our group liked it a lot and I think that was the first thing we all greed on from beginning of our trip a week earlier. The hosts were wonderful - wonderful hosts, wonderful sources of local info, wonderful company at night. When we needed help with transportation Karl took care of that and saved us a lot of time and money. Speaking of money - not only Oma's is much nicer stay than a generic hotel, it ended up being a better value for our big group too. I would definitely stay there again if I'm in the area, it's a keeper.

The owners are very kind and good people. The rooms are charming and comfortable. An excellent value

nice atmosphere. family was kind and very nice, and breakfast was excellent.

There is so much you can say about how great it is to stay at Oma’s Guest Haus. From the hospitality that Karl & Denise provide that is way over the top, to the relaxation that awaits the guests. Whenever I get the opportunity to visit the Buffalo, N. Y. area, it is without question that I want to stay with friends, rather than in a lonely hotel room. And that is exactly what greets you when you walk into Oma’s! Even if it’s the first time you meet them, Karl & Denise & their son Tim, make you feel just like long lost friends and it only gets better as you get to know and experience everything they have to offer their guests.

Was a great place to stay, very friendly people...they really made you feel comfortable.

I went up to Buffalo for the weekend to watch the Sabres and the Bills and had an absolutely fantastic time. Oma's Guest Haus is easy to find and conveniently located, just a few minute drive from both the Bills and downtown Buffalo for the Sabres. The family were exceptional and I really felt one of the family. Apart from the result of the Bills game, I can't think of anything negative to say. I have stayed in guest houses around the World and this is the best one I have stayed at - I will definitely be back !!

very positive!

Very friendly, warm, and gracious hosts. Very clean and comfortable. will definitely stay here when in the Buffalo area. Loved it!

the house was very comfortable and felt like home. Karl and Denis wee great hosts! clean and homey.

Warmly treated.

the whole family is so nice, room is comfortable,breakfast is delicious,everything is perfect, next time i will choose them again!

Sept 11th - one night

Fantastic experince. Very cosy place and I have never met more helpful, nice and service minded innkeepers.

The short review: Oma's is like staying with an old friend. It's comfortable, definitely not stuffy or fussy, and Karl and Denise may fool you into thinking that it's YOUR house. Pros: Excellent price, honor bar, hot tub, Karl, breakfast both days was delicious, not "fru fru" or "fussy," great dog. Cons: neighborhood could be a little nicer, not "fru fru" or "fussy" (if you're into that kind of B&B). I think this could be my favorite stay in a B&B. We absolutely loved it and it's gotta be the best deal in Western New York.

The owners of this B&B go out of their way to accommodate their guests & they made us feel very welcome. It is obvious they enjoy their jobs and I would highly recommend this place to anyone we know.

Although we stayed only one night we really liked Oma's Guest House. Both Karl&Denise are very friendly; the rooms are clean, tidy and functional and definitely homey! I would go back and recommend to anyone for sure. I suggest a photo session with the Harley for a complete experience and although we did not have time for it the Hot tub is probably a must!

The stay was outstanding and exceeded my expectations.

Our stay at Oma's Guest Haus was very pleasant with wonderful warm hospitality. Karl and Denise provide an atmosphere that say, "We're do glad you're here. Just make yourself at home". We recommend this B&B if you're in the area. s

Carl and Denisse made us feel like family. I strongly recommend this place. Is quite clean, the service outstanding.

I had a magnificent time! Wonderful care and atmosphere!

karl and denisse made my daughter and I like we were old friends...they really know how to make guest confortable and happy...they offer us an oustanding breakfast...and the day we left they woke up very early in the morning ( 5 am) to fix us our breakfast...the rooms are cozy and clean...bathrooms spotless...we are very gratefull with them...and i would highly recommend them to everyone thanks karl and denisse...isabella and romano

Very welcoming innkepers. We felt very relaxed in their home. Very comfortable room and neatly kept. Breakfast was a pleasure also.

This was a winner for our family. Extremely friendly. Knowledgeable in local area attractions and great home! Could not have had a better expereience and wonderful trip to Buffalo. Would return and recommend! Thank you Carl & Denise.

A truly charming and unique home with warmth and hospitality from Karl & Denise.

What an absolutely amazing time we had with Karl and his lovely family. We just had an absolute blast. You couldn't ask for nicer or more accomodating people. The breakfasts were huge and hearty and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful.

From the moment I pulled up outside Oma's, I knew I was in the right place. The Harley parking only sign and the manicured landscaping proved me right. Karl and Denise met me like an old friend and put any questions to rest about their delightful haus and their hospitality. I felt like a member of the family and was sad when my time was up. I'll be back as soon as I'm in that area.

wonderful, wonderful stay! thank you!

peaceful and conductive to my need for a pleasant weekend away from home. nice personal touch.

This was our first trip to a B&B and it was wonderful! Karl and Denise were away, but Tym and Amy took wonderful care of us. We got helpful sightseeing advice, directions, and a delicious breakfast. The room was perfectly clean and the bed was really comfortable. Everybody was so friendly - we will definately be going to B&B's from now on - and we'll come back to Oma's some day. Thanks for a great stay!

You don't need to leave Oma's Guest Haus to have the best time ever in Buffalo if you van get away from the hot tub and honesty box bar...you might just get a home-made breakfast to die for

Owner’s hospitality exceeds all expectations they are ready to go out of their way to help and make your stay very pleasant. Very clean and relaxing environment

It was my first bed&breakfast experience and Karl put really high criteria that will be hard to reach. We thank him for great breakfats, hospitality, sightseeing tour, provided information..... We absolutely recommend it

We loved our stay at the B&B, unfortunately it was only for 2 nights. Karl and Denise made us feel like home, they are lovely and extraordinary people. The hot tub was very relaxing in the evening (including the blues background music) and the breakfast in the morning was lovely. We received all necessary information and directions. The garden is nicely designed and the Tiki Bar in the Garden will open soon which is supposed to be another highlight of the guesthouse. We loved the Harley ride, Karl gave us and thank the family a lot for a wonderful stay at their house. We hope to return some day and stay there for longer!!! So if you like being with a very relaxed and welcoming family, Omas Guest Haus is definitely the place you want to go.

First off, the owners were so very accomodating. our stay was awesome, 2 nights, 2 good mornings with excellent meals that kept us full. Loved waking up in the morning hearing some blues music playing. great atomospher. Will return when in the New York area.
