Nice property as advertised. The window seals around the AC units had to be managed to minimize wasp intrusion but very minor - only removed 2 wasps during stay and none after the seals were adjusted.

We had a weekend stay to go skiing at Holiday Valley. No snow, so that was a bummer. Travel to the resort is 8.3 miles, about 15 minutes. The travel is so worth the privacy.
Chalet was very nice..greaty layout with lots of room. Beautiful wrap around deck! Washer/dryer was great to have. Kitchen could've had a little better amenities.
Outside was a little disappointing...cans and candy wrappers around; pond unkept; sleds just laying around; driveway could've used more stone (kinda muddy); chairs around outside firepit were very old. We are big outdoorsy people who like to be outdoors...yes, even in winter. Oh, and please oil the screen door.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

This spacious home has 3 levels with sizable bedrooms in each, (especially the lower floor). The whole place overlooks an immense landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. Enjoying our morning coffee & breakfast on the wrap around veranda while our small dog explored the grounds was perfect. Taking in the evening sunset from the comfort of the living room through the large windows flanking the large fireplace was just as delightful. We were even given logs so we could enjoy the fire-pit, which was a lovely treat. We did discover a few unexpected issues & promptly contacted the owners about them, all but one was fully resolved during our stay. It was fairly effortless to reach them when needed & they were always helpful & courteous in their response. Visiting Niagara Falls is easy & a must. The same is true for Griffis Sculpture Park, it's uniquely gorgeous. The staff there were exceptionally friendly & sweet with us. You'll need to stock up on groceries which is simple enough as the stores are a relatively short drive away. If you're looking for sanctuary within beautiful, quiet, private, ample surroundings, this is it. I would've liked the place to have been a little cleaner & for certain appliances to have worked better, but the owners were responsive & the location & general living layout make this a stay worth experiencing.

The description perfectly summarizes this hidden gem. We hope to return soon for the third time.

My family and I - my wife, son and daughter-in-law, and two grandsons - spent a week at this East Otto chalet, and the accommodations were just perfect! The loft bedroom was perfect for both boys and the first - floor king room was perfect for my wife and I. My son and daughter-in-law settled in nicely downstairs with the queen bed, futon, and large-screen TV. There was a window-mounted AC unit in every bedroom that cooled the Chalet nicely all week. When we travel, we cook together because we all enjoy cooking and sharing meals together, especially at breakfast. The kitchen worked out just fine, with the tabletop griddle and plenty of pots, pans and accessories. We drove to Niagara Falls twice, first for the Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds, then back two days later for a great dinner at The Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls, NY, then for the Falls light show and fireworks display. Griffis Sculpture Park is a fun place for hiking. There are three trails - green, blue, and red - and you get rewarded along the trail with all the interesting sculptures to discover. Spend an afternoon touring Ellicotville (EVL to the locals). Great little shops and several good restaurants like Katy's Cafe', for lunch. Afterward, take a stroll through the Nannen Arboretum. There are plenty of options for shopping in Springville, as well. It's only nine miles from the Chalet. And there's so much more nearby that we simply didn't have time to see and do. You'll have fun if you go!

The property is tucked out in the hills with a great view across the valley with great sunsets watching the clouds pass by through the awesome floor to ceiling windows. Check in was easy. Got settled in and had two questions that were answered quickly by the hosts. Will definitely be a return VRBO when we come back into town.

This property was one of the best, most clean homes we have ever stayed in. It was not only beautiful but functional for all of our families age ranges.

Homeowner very kind and responded extremely quickly. Home is spacious. Snow would have been nice- great potential to go sledding with family out the doorstep.

This is our second year staying at the cabin for New Year’s. There were 6 adults. We had plenty of space. All the amenities you need are in the cabin. It’s a bit of a drive to Ellicotville (10 minutes) but we don’t mind that. I wish the skiing would have been better but otherwise another great way to spend new year’s!

We stayed in early august. To start off, the views are amazing and the house is very nice and well kept with a beautiful great room and comfortable beds. However, the deck is very slippery when wet, my son slipped on the wood stairs (he was wearing slip resistant work boots). The air conditioning is spotty, and the two units don’t produce half of what you would need on a summer day, we were very fortunate the weather was not very hot when we stayed, but it still took a long while to get down to 65. The sink didn’t hold water, so washing dishes was a bit of a challenge. There was a light out in each bathroom. We were unable to use the firepit, as there was garbage in it, including a shotgun shell (it was spent, but for safety reasons we didn’t risk lighting a fire). Overall, it’s a very nice property, but it could use some TLC, as it seems the house was not properly checked on between visits,

Our time was perfect there, house was beautiful along with the views. Owners were great and the location was everything we were looking for.

This home was exactly what we were looking for during our vacation to Ellicottville. The property is close enough to town but a few miles away which felt very peaceful and private. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The teenagers loved having the bottom floor to themselves while the little ones were thrilled to stay in the loft area. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our trip and then some. We've already reserved for our next trip to come ski.

False advertising
We booked a three night stay and could not wait to leave. If it had not been such a long day driving we would have left within the hour.
The house was very dirty. I will spare you all the disgusting food spills left in and on all the appliances, plates, glasses and pots and pans.
The photos are definitely old as the expansive yard area is but a fraction of the picture. The rest is all 3 foot weeds. The pond does not exist as it has been left to fill in with rush weeds. Indoor and outdoor seating is for three maybe 4 inside and there is a plastic picnic table and a table with 3 chairs outside. No where to seat people if you had a group that would use all the beds.
Linens were very tired and there was debris under the sheets. We only checked the king room and there was a pillow with a pillow with no pillow case and a broken pillow protector on the bed to use.
The absentee owners/realty company were responsive and refunded our money immediately. I was appreciative of their prompt response but they clearly have not seen the property in years.
Before booking I would ask to see updated photos and see if new cleaning and yard maintenance has been implemented.

So Peaceful!
This property was a little way out of town, but it was so worth it! The house is on the smaller side but with the basement area, there was enough privacy for the four adults and two dogs. We loved the sunset views from the beautiful windows of the house. We definitely would choose this property again!

Quaint and comfy!
Beautiful location, very quiet and peaceful! Kids loved sledding on the hill and it was a short drive to EVL for skiing. The beds and linen were very comfortable. We had not thought of checking the listing to see if there was a dishwasher, there isn’t. Not a deal breaker but washing dishes became a bit of a chore after a few days ( we cooked a lot, might not be an issue for others ). Very decent wifi considering the location. Would recommend!

Ski Trip
We had a great trip! Unfortunately our dog was due to deliver puppies so she could not join us but the house was perfect for us. We enjoyed several days on the slopes & shopping in Ellicotiville. Food was a bit pricier than expected so great to have a house we could prepare or own meals.

Great Way to Spend New Year's Weekend
Three of us plus our pets stayed for New Year's weekend. The house is great. Clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including a blow dryer with a diffuser!
It is about 15 minutes from downtown Ellicotville but the drive is easy.
We will be back in the summer!

Amazing
We had the best time, really enjoyed the views. Had a thunderstorm on the other side of the mountain that was like nothing I’ve ever seen and probably will never see again, can’t even describe! Awesome sunsets! Only place I’ve been that you can see sunset and sunrise on the some deck! House is very comfortable, well equipped kitchen. Only thing I’d have liked that it didn’t have was some more comfortable deck furniture.😎

Beautiful spot for intergenerational weekend.
Lovely setting and house with plenty of room for our four grandchildren to spread out or play together. The wrap-around deck was enjoyed by all. We spent one afternoon walking at Griffith Sculpture Garden just down the road. Wonderful place to spend time catching up together, we didn't even go out for dinner.

Wedding Weekend
The accommodations were great, and just as described on the website. Perfect for a family stay while attending a family wedding. We enjoyed the house and our family time together.
Enjoyed the tranquility and the view from the great deck, especially the one night with a lightning storm.
The house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room for the six of us.

Property was clean, comfortable, inviting. The deck is great! Air conditioning was certainly welcome as many rentals in Western NY do not have AC. Owners responded to all questions in a timely manner.

Great place!
We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was beautiful. The owner was quick to respond to the couple inquiries we had. Amazing deck space & great sleeping areas. Comfortable beds. Nice, quiet neighborhood with good view from deck. Could’ve used some wine glasses, but overall we would definitely stay again, & are thankful to the owner(s) for providing a great, much needed getaway.

Simple Getaway
My family and my puppy stayed April 3rd-6th. When we arrived it was very easy to check in and the house was absolutely stunning. The views were spectacular! My only small issue was it was tons of dog hair pretty much everywhere. I'm aware it's a pet friendly home, (which I brought mine) however the long strands of hair was just in the carpet, on the couch, so it was just all over our clothes during our stay. It didn't kill us but my 7 year old Autistic son it kinda drove him crazy having long strands of dog hair over him all day. Besides the leftover hair, I would recommend!

Spring getaway
We picked a perfect few days to visit the chalet. It was our second time there. Just in time to watch the snow melt away. The place is very clean and comfortable. Wonderful woods surrounding the chalet. Absolute quiet! Great stay

Wonderful Cabin for a Spring Skiing Getaway!
Our family of five booked a long weekend to enjoy one last weekend of spring skiing at Holiday Valley. The cabin was lovely with a breathtaking view of the valley. Everything was great; plenty of space for all of us... beds were comfortable, gas fireplaces easy to operate, lots of cozy blankets , TV had good reception, kitchen well appointed, nice bathrooms with good towels. Agree with another reviewer that a larger kitchen table with more chairs would be helpful. The kids loved running around the field and investigating the pond as it began to thaw during our stay. Quick and easy drive to ski and town; would highly recommend!
