Vacation rentals near Niagara Falls — better value for families and groups than hotels

When you’re wrangling a family of six or splitting costs with another couple, a vacation rental makes more sense than a hotel. You get a full kitchen, a living room for decompression, and often better value per square foot — especially during summer when hotel rates spike. Lewiston, about 10 minutes north, is an underrated spot with great local restaurants and a walkable Main Street.
