About this cabin rental
My charming log cabin sits on 100 acres of private land which adjoins 2200 of New York State Forest. It overlooks a small pond that is stocked with bass. You are welcome to catch a few and cook them fresh on the gas grill. The front porch is comfortable with beautiful views of the pond, hills, and the valley below.
It is a cozy cabin with a sleeping loft and comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a shower. The loft has a queen size bed and the first floor has a double futon.
The sleeping loft is reached via a narrow metal spiral staircase.
Bring your bicycles in the summer or your cross-country skis or snowshoes in the winter or your hiking boots year round, as the state forest is full of groomed trails. Or bring your books and just relax and enjoy your surroundings.
There is a fire pit for cool evenings or just to enjoy while relaxing.
We are only 12 minutes from Ellicottville, New York which is a quaint little ski and resort town. You can ski in the winter or golf in the summer. There are world-class restaurants for fine dining and wonderful shopping. Take advantage of all that this enchanting area has to offer. I have some of the highlights listed below.
It is the perfect place for solitude or a romantic getaway. I hope you will come and enjoy this special place on Golden Hill!!

What a beautiful location, so nice and quiet, love to hear the owls in the mornings, plenty of fish in the pond ( didn't catch any ) would love to know what kind of bait others were using ? Can't wait to go back in the spring for another breathtaking adventure!

The cabin is rustic and secluded. Yet, it offers the convenience and comfort of most amenities. My family (including our pup) enjoyed fishing in the pond, relaxing around the campfire, and hiking in the woods. The host was very responsive and helpful when contacted. We would love to stay here again.
4.9
Host was very responsive. Lives close by shows you the property at check in, is not nosey by any means.
Peace and quiet you can hear the sounds of the beauty of the forest
Enjoyed fishing in the stocked private pond and scored several healthy big bass and pearch.
If you want to unplug and recharge your soul, you found your spot

My wife and I stayed at the cabin in 2023. We are outdoors type of people so the cabin arrangements were as expected. The 1st time we advised the host, the smoke detecter and fire extinguisher were not functional. She thanked us for the notice. All good until 2024, and yet again they are not functioning. Being in a WOOD CABIN, this is a big neglect. Also the BBQ is 8 inches away from cabin side wall.
The best upgrade the owner did was put in a good TV

Great weekend getaway. The cabin was comfortable. The property was scenic and private. The dogs had a great time running around. We did some fishing in the pond and enjoyed evenings around the camp fire. Thank you Bette.
4.9
Absolutely perfect place for a quiet getaway in nature. The pond was perfect for the pups to splash and play in as well as catching bass. The privacy and beauty is absolutely perfect. We cannot wait to return

This cabin and pond were perfect for a relaxing and peaceful getaway for our family! The cabin had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. We spent so much time on the front porch and fishing around the pond. Couldn’t believe how quiet it was! Loved finding all kinds of wildlife in the area. Good location to go hiking, shopping, or in our case, to Niagara Falls. Made use of the grill almost every day and enjoyed making some delicious meals. We didn’t have any issues, everything went so well. We can’t wait to go back! Will be recommending to our friends and family.

Super close to Holiday Valley and town. Super quiet and relaxing with amazing views!

Bette was an amazing host and was always a quick response away! The cabin is even cozier than pictured and is a perfect getaway! My partner and I went to Holiday Valley to ski for the day and it was an easy 18 minute drive away from downtown Ellicottville and the resort. We definitely would come again!!
4.9
The cabin is a perfect quiet get away in the woods overlooking a pond with hills in the background. The host is gracious and nearby if you need anything.

We truly enjoyed this little private getaway during the hussle of the holiday season. Our host was so helpful, making sure we found the driveway and could get into the cabin. We took long walks and enjoyed a trip to Ellicottville.
4.9
Very cozy little cabin to just get away from the hustle and bustle of life for awhile. Very quiet and peaceful. Not far away from towns that have things to do. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back to stay again.

The cabin and surrounding area are absolutely beautiful! My husband and I (plus our 3 dogs) had an amazing time and hope to go back soon.
We couldn’t have asked for more and our dogs couldn’t get enough of running around (and swimming in) the pond!
Bette was a great host and very responsive!
Thanks again for an amazing trip!

A beautiful cabin in the woods in a "NYS Dark area" for people looking for great star gazing. Bette is an amazing person, could've spent an evening just with her. It was a beautiful place in a cozy cabin. Bette is always there for you. I came looking for stars, and found them. My little old Chihuahua was totally happy there too. I am totally happy, thank you Bette. Can't wait to come back.

Exceeded our expectations. Such a great place to spend quality time with family.

Fall is an amazing time in the Northeast. And this location is perfect to reflect the colors of the season. We had fantastic weather. So, Fall in Great Valley at this cabin is highly recommended. It's almost as good as Summer. As this was our fourth visit to this property .... we have pretty much seen every season.
4.9
The cabin was exactly as listed, but better. Though the weather did not completely cooperate the first 2 days, i would not change a thing. The walking trails in the state forest are just a short drive, or walk up the hill. It is honestly the only place we have ever stayed that Sam(the dog) slept all night without barking, including at home. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Bette...

For our honeymoon. What more needs to be said? The whole experience: renting, check in, cabin placement, it was all wonderful!
4.9
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this cabin and we love it. It is so peaceful! Perfect for a getaway with a scenic view. My 4 yr old son and husband enjoyed the fishing and my son caught his first fish ever! Our dog couldn't get enough of the outdoors. The cabin is cozy and clean. Bette is so nice. We will definitely be back.
4.9
This place was as advertised, which made for the cutest, calmest retreat. The property is so beautiful and so quiet that you can literally hear bees buzzing.
Bette is such a great host and makes it so easy to come and go. Not only was everything clean and stocked when I arrived, but she was always responsive when I had questions about my stay.
The place was so perfect for some time away from it all, and I can't recommend it enough!
4.9
We loved it It was a vacation for us and are dog Gypsy It's so beautiful and now that we're home I miss waking up and looking at the pond That cabin was so beautiful and I would tell my friends this is a great place to go And Bette is such a nice lady
4.9
We love the beautiful views and our grandchildren love swimming, fishing and canoeing in the pond. Always a great trip!
4.9
Hidden gem of a property! Most listings like this only have two of the following: seclusion, beautiful views, waterfront. This one has all three! Property was absolutely beautiful! A log cabin with character - nestled in the woods. Complete with a private lake and beautiful views. The kids loved it, the pups loved it, and we loved it! Bette, the host was amazing as well! She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Communication was great. Check-in and check-out were a breeze - and we got to learn a little bit of the property’s history while talking to her. This made the little cabin even more precious! Great stay and we look forward to returning some day!

My brother and my 2 dogs absolutely loved this quaint cabin. It was so serene and peaceful. My dogs loved it especially my 1 year old boxer who loved doing laps around the pond and running off into the woods. Bette was accommodating and accessible and very sweet. My brother even caught his first fish from the pond. We’d definitely return for another peaceful getaway.

My husband and I have been on the hunt for a cozy secluded cabin where we can fish, relax and Gaze under the stars. This Cabin was beyond that. We fished and relaxed all day and By night we hit the town of Ellicotville for Delicious Dinners and entertainment. The bars and restaurants had live music, and there were plenty of restaurants to choose from. Dive bars to upscale and romantic. Bette was a gem to speak with. I needed some medical attention and she responded right away and found a walk in clinic for me. ( I had poison ivy prior to vacation) She was an absolute doll and is very caring for her guest! Also so laid back, Didn’t have a strict list of things to do. This is as peaceful as it gets! We can not wait to re book this visit!

As much as my family and I were excited about this property, we quickly realized upon arrival, we would not be happy. The property said that there is 100 acres, but you quickly see that what you can actually walk along is probably less than an acre. Bringing dogs here prooved to be more problematic than a relief because they didn't get to have as much free roam as we hoped. Especially coming from a cramped apartment. Inside the cabin the floor was gross, the refrigerator was gross. The freezer was full of huge ice chunks that we had to spend 30 minutes chipping away at just so we could get food in. There was a few inches of hand soap in the kitchen, none in the bathroom. There were no sheets for the pull out couch, only dozens of pillow cases. Dishes needed to be cleaned and the outside furniture was clearly not well taken care of and there was trash including beer cans outside, under the house. Overall, we had a terrible time. It was more stressful than relaxing, since we had to clean everything in order to feel comfortable. But in the end, we felt so uncomfortable in the cabin, we had to leave five days earlier than what was booked. I am not sure how/why the owners missed all this, but it was the last straw for my family on ever booking a Vrbo.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to enjoy nature and quiet, this is the place for you. Bette was a wonderful host and we cannot wait to come back.
4.9
This place is the perfect place for a true country stay. Bette is a great host. The veiws from the cabin are tremendous and the cabin is well equipped. The pond offers some nice fishing but no monsters but the catch of bass is steady and very visual for those that are bass fisherman. The birds species is very pleasant for the downstater not familiar with upstate species.
4.9
Cabin is in a rural area far from any big city/attraction. Very quiet and peaceful on a private pond. Cabin stocked with everything you could need! Bette is a very communicative and welcoming host.
4.9
My family had a amazing time at your little cabin. We all enjoyed the pond and piece and quite

Bette's cabin has been one of my family's favorite getaways since 2020, so I was delighted to share it with my new wife on our honeymoon! The seclusion and beauty of the landscape is only matched by the tidiness and coziness of the property. This cabin is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and yes--start a marriage. Thank you Bette!!
4.9
This place is truly in the middle of nature. All you can hear is the birds and other animals outside. We had maybe 3 cars total pass by on the road. Bette's cabin is clean and cozy. She has everything you need to stay and escape the noise of everyday life. Truly peaceful. We loved waking up, sitting on the porch swing and watching the sunrise over the mountains. There is no signal in this area but the cabin itself has very fast WiFi. The area is about 20 min away from Ellicottville which is a quaint town with a brewery that has delicious food!
If you are looking for a place to disconnect and truly enjoy nature and quiet, this is your place.
