Located on a hillside with breathtaking views, the inspiring great room offers a high cathedral ceiling w/ a full wall of windows on either side of a stone surrounded gas fireplace. Doors on both sides of the great room lead outside to an enormous wrap around deck with solar lighting accents. The media room is adjacent to the great room -- perfect for a family movie night.

The dining room is anchored by a long rustic farm table fit for entertaining all your friends or family. The spacious laundry room/mudroom has a new washer and dryer, as well as sink and storage.

Amazing home, well-appointed with anything you could need. Quick drive to downtown Ellicottville and ski slopes. We enjoyed the board games, ping pong, bonfire outside, and everyone had their own space for sleeping. Kitchen had everything we could ever need to cook and entertain 10 people. Nancy was super responsive and made sure our stay was perfect!

My family gathered from around the country, in Ellicottville, to celebrate the Christmas holiday together. There wasn’t any snow this year, sadly, but we still had a blast just being all together at Nancy and Rob’s beautiful, big house. We absolutely loved that there were multiple large spaces to gather together - around the large dining table, in front of one of the fireplaces, cooking together in the big kitchen. We all enjoyed the lower level rec room especially my kids and their cousins who played ping pong and shoot pool for hours. The kitchen is amazing and full of everything we could have wanted - including a mixer and rolling pin for baking cookies! The beds are comfy cozy with tons of linens, pillows & blankets. The house is very clean & well maintained. Nancy & Rob have thought of every detail to make the house feel like a home. There was even a decorated Christmas tree, twinkle lights above the fireplace mantel, and holiday touches on the tables. Nancy was super responsive to our needs & always quickly communicated with thoughtfulness and a great sense of humor. I can’t say enough good things about this property & its owners! Definitely recommend & would stay again!

The home is well appointed and just so relaxing. We had a great weekend. The nature surrounding us was amazing (we even saw an owl perched on top of the neighboring house) and shopping/wine tasting/beer sampling in Ellicottville was terrific. Thank you, Nancy and Rob, for opening your house for our birthday weekend celebration.

Nancy & Rob are amazing hosts & their hillside home is spectacular. For our group of 8 adults - 3 couples, 2 singles & 2 small dogs it was so comfortable & spacious. They go above & beyond with the well equipped kitchen, comfy beds & linens & the simple check in. The views are lovely we spotted deer & hawks. It was a 10 min drive to Ellicottville with fun shopping & restaurants & Holiday Valley for a great day of skiing with runs for all abilities. We didn’t watch TV however there are two TVs, one in a cozy media room, the other in the recreation room with a fireplace & pool table/ ping pong table. We loved the grand room with vaulted ceilings windows all around and huge fireplace & the large dining room. The decor is beautiful. We had a fantastic time in this oasis & cannot wait to return.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Beautiful home!!!! The owners were awesome!!! The communication was excellent. It was perfect for our large family and the home was very welcoming. Had all the essentials and more for a 3 day stay.
The rec room with ping pong and pool table was our favorite spot - we spent a lot of fun filled evenings there. The great room was very comforting for relaxation with beautiful views!
We'll be back to stay for sure...........

We had a wonderful experience celebrating Christmas in this beautiful home with our extended family. Nancy was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. The home is as nice if not nicer than the pictures and is very clean and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this home if you are skiing at Holiday Valley and it is also a short drive to town.

My family and friends love this property. This is the 6th time we have stayed here, and each time is another great trip full of new memories. Maybe more so on this trip as this property is now pet friendly. Caesar and Willow (our little dogs) also had a lot of fun.
Nancy (owner) makes you feel special and wants you to enjoy every part of your stay. She communicated with us from the time of our booking until we got into the house. She thanked us at the time we confirmed the rental. Just prior to our weekend she sent a message on things to do that particular weekend in/around Ellicottville, what to expect (including a weather update). And when we arrived, we found a handwritten note, bottle of local wine and snacks.
Thank you Nancy!

Winter Oasis
This was the perfect winter get away. My husband, dog and I stayed here for an extra-long weekend and we couldn't have been happier. We had another couple from our family come with their small daughter for one of the nights as well.
While we had a very small group, this house had PLENTY of space for many more people. The bedrooms are real bedrooms, not a pullout sofa and call it a bedroom. They are all very good sized. We stayed in one of the lower floor bedrooms and had enough space for the two of us, and a relatively large crate for our Labrador Retriever.
We weren't able to enjoy the outdoors much, because it was so cold, but the patio/yard area look like they are beautiful when not covered in snow.
The kitchen is truly the highlight, and the photos don't do it justice. On Saturday alone, I was able to make cinnamon buns from scratch in the morning, then a 6-course wine-paired dinner that evening without wanting for a thing, other than a whisk that I really should have brought from home. Plenty of pots/pans/spatulas/etc. I also don't doubt that there probably was a whisk that I just didn't find.
If you don't feel like cooking - this place is very close to many restaurants in Ellicottville. The house seems so remote when you are there, but it's a very brief drive and you are right in the middle of town.
One final note - the house is very well soundproofed. There was a party going on next door. I only knew because I walked the dog that way and heard loud music and shouting. Inside - absolute silence.

Comfortable Home, Responsive Hosts
Our party of eight (4 adults, 4 children) enjoyed our stay at this home. We found it to be as advertised and probably the most comfortable VRBO home we have stayed in. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating which we really appreciated. Recommend.

It did not snow for our winter skiing getaway - but that did not matter. We had a wonderful time with our extended family because the home and property owners were wonderful. They had everything ready and perfect when we arrived, just as described. They were responsive to requests and even responded to some very important special requests. We would absolutely stay here again!

Memorable Getaway
There are not enough words to describe this beautiful, cozy and accommodating house. The location is perfect and the home is spacious, beautifully decorated, immaculate and well stocked. We were privileged to spend Thanksgiving with 10 of our family members this past weekend. Through the years we have rented many homes and this one is by far out favorite! Out host, Nancy and Rob could not have been for gracious, generous and accommodating. The memories we made there will forever live in our hearts. Jeff & Jill Tepper

the most beautiful getaway
We had the coziest Fall weekend and Nancy & Rob's chalet! The photos absolutely don't do it justice! We were welcomed by the amazing view of the Ellicotteville hills from the wrap-around porch and immediately felt relaxed and in awe. The house is only about a 5 minute drive from downtown EVL. We already had some activities planned before arriving, though the cozy, regal, living room and gorgeous views made it nearly impossible to leave the house! We had dinner one night at the large dining table that more than accommodated all of us, then we had a ping pong tournament in the expansive and beautiful basement. From the basement you can go right outside to the bonfire pit, which we had going both nights. Every bedroom was perfectly curated, cleaned, and ready for us. Each of us couples had our own rooms and slept so well. In the mornings, it was bundling up and having our coffee on the porch. I am fawning over this place - but it truly deserves it. Nancy and Rob were great hosts, they were available if we needed them but made check-in and -out so easy that we never had any trouble. We will definitely ask to come back again especially during ski season!

Planned another stay! Hosts are nice, welcoming, and communicative. The hosts love their home and want the guests to love it also. I would recommend a cleaning checklist just for details and alignment on expectation.
