Ideally situated on a quiet corner wooded lot, this 4-bedroom, 3 full bath getaway boasts 3 gas fireplaces, skylights and breathtaking sunset views. Enjoy skiing in the winter months or spend the day hiking and swimming come summer! After the day’s excursions, fire up the grill and dine al fresco on the deck with loved ones or enjoy a glass of wine on an Adirondack chair beside the gas fire pit built into the deck.

Walk into the ground level to a family room with a bar space to entertain, storage for all your ski/outdoor equipment, a bunk room with two sets of bunk beds (with a total of four full sized beds) on this level, and laundry. Going up, enter the kitchen with granite counters and a unique circular window looking out of the dining room. Curl up next to the stone surround fireplace in the living room with crown molding that overlooks the wrap around deck. The deck includes a natural gas fireplace and a grill to enjoy on cool summer nights or when coming in from the slopes. The upper level offers a master en-suite and gas fireplace and its own attached private deck to overlook the surrounding woods.

Other things to note
Cell service in and around Ellicotville can be spotty. We recently upgraded to and pay for fiber optic internet to augment this (we previously had spotty satellite internet). You are now welcome to use our WiFi for internet calling, etc. (AT&T and Verizon service seems fine but you never know). We do recommend that you pre-download local maps and area info, including check in instructions and the WiFi password. You can enable “WiFi calling” and use our internet for more reliable cell service.

Cameras
We have audio and video recording cameras on the outside of the property for security purposes. There are two cameras, one each at the entry doors to the home. We monitor these cameras for security purposes. Tampering with the cameras will result in immediate cancellation of your stay, without a refund, and a $500 fine.

1. 2 trash cans outside and one was full. 2. Not able to use the fire pit outside bc it was filled with beer cans and there was no wood. 3. Railing was unstable and a safety hazard 4. The grill was broken and had food and garbage inside. 5. The downstairs living room had stains all over the furniture. 6. The house smelled musty and smelled like mold. 7. The screens on every door were broken 8. The floors were so dirty if you walked on them your feet turned black 9. The stove was filthy and unusable 10. The fridge was dirty and had items left in the freezer 11. The one upstairs bed had a giant pee stain on the mattress 12. The master bedroom, bed frame was falling apart. 13.Shower door was broke and were very dirty that we had to clean them. Now after all this she tried to charge me $500 for smoking in the house which never happened. Looking through recent reviews this seems to be a pattern with the host. Please for your safety and sanity do not rent this home.

Great place for ski season. Would have been helpful if we knew the house did not have AC. We also saw a mouse in the kitchen you may want to get that taken care of.

First off we get there and couldn’t get in, I couldn’t place a call because of cell service. Finally got a call out. She said we never emailed a photo copy of my id. Ok, no email asking for that but fine I sent it. Get in the house and it was extremely hot!! Text her asking about air condition and she said there was none, that it’s not a typical amenity that there were fans that could be used. The problem there was many of the windows didn’t have screens so if you opened them you had to bother with bugs. In two of the bedrooms the screens were busted so you couldn’t just leave the sliding door open. Many of the sliding doors you couldn’t open. Very uncomfortable temperatures for most of the stay. The house is very very dated. Ice maker was broken, beds were very uncomfortable so between the heat and the beds the stay was miserable. Just to get home today and find out the owner filled a claim with the damage insurance company I had purchased for $4000 for a sofa, chair and new carpet because there was one ball of dog poop on a rug!!! Completely unreal to think that all that should be replaced for 1 ball of poop!!! She said I didn’t disclose the pet but in vrbo it just says one pet under 20 pounds allowed. I STRESS AGAIN DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!!!

A few friends and I booked this property due to unexpected issues with another property we had booked for the same weekend. Overall we had a great experience here. The owner/manager was friendly and responsive and the house itself was a pretty neat place. We would definitely look at renting again in the future.

it was decorated very nicely and pretty clean, however some sliding doors didn't open. Screens on some of the windows were not there and the door hinges to the screen doors that did open were broken and hard to open. the views were beautiful but some deck boards were rotted so you needed to be careful walking down the steps. one of the rooms didn't have a dresser or a place to hang clothes.The room that you entered into the house had empty cardboard stuff and lots of stuff just thrown behind the bar. The stairwell lights going to the 3rd floor didn't work. I feel it wasn't completely ready for guests arrival. none of this stuff kept us from staying or enjoying the house.

Our family stayed here and day-tripped to Niagara and Allegory State Park, it was a great central point for day trips. There was plenty of room for [3] children and (4) adults. We selected this property as it met our criteria for location, bedrooms/baths, and budget. We were pleased the property provided extra trash bags, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper, and even toiletry items. We appreciated the games and some kid friendly DVD's. The property was fine for what we needed. We would not stay here again due to the property needing a bit of maintenance and cleaning. As mentioned in other reviews, the main door to the house does not work, the only locked entrance is on the bottom floor. Some of the slider doors on the main level do not work properly either. DO NOT close the master bedroom bathroom door - you will be locked in/out as the door knob does not work. This needs to be fixed. The window blinds are between the window pane and screen which not only makes it a hassle to open windows but also makes it difficult to let natural light in. Some windows do not have screens at all. The DVD player does not work in the basement level. There are also broken door handles on some of the closet doors. Property needs a deep cleaning, kitchen floor had spots everywhere, there were hair strands, ponytails, bobby-pins in the baths/beds, tissues under beds, dust bunnies in corners, marks on walls, and the dining rooms chairs are pulling apart. Keep looking for another location.

I have stayed at dozens of VRBO properties and this is by far the worst experience I have ever had. Difficult finding the property during snow storm. Many light fixtures out. Host was very rude and then unresponsive. Unlike most, this property offers no refund, no cancellation and no changes under any circumstances. If you read other reviews, you will see similar comments. DO NOT STAY HERE.
