About this house rental

Important before booking: READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. A two-day minimum and one-week maximum stay at this time. Thank you.

With a pond on one side and a mountain stream on the other, and surrounded by forest, this is the place to get away from it all. Heated Saltillo Tiles in well-appointed kitchen, two full bathrooms, with a piano and pool table for your amusement. Oak and cherry flooring and woodwork complements the totally renovated interior. Cross the bridge over the stream, and you are on your way to a beautiful hike in New York State's largest Park.

Two electric reclining top grain leather couches were delivered 2/2020. Very comfortable, room for three on each with ease. Also an electric recliner.

There is a firepit, gas grill, an offset smoker/grill. You can while away your evenings, telling ghost stories, roasting wienies or making s'mores over a crackling fire. Kindling is steps away and firewood is available for sale all over the area, but I usually have some here.

We are also children friendly, but NO GUEST DOGS ARE ALLOWED due to incidents of guest dogs with our dogs. Incidents were very rare, but for the benefit of all, we reluctantly took that step. We have two female dogs on site and they are people friendly.

More than 6 people, or more than 3 cars; please let me know more. Not out of the realm of the possible., but water/well constraints come into play...to wit:

We have a well, and unlike city living, the water supply is not endless. It is good water, but, for example, long showers by guests strain the supply. The well needs to replenish. Any action that can conserve water, such as utilizing the shower quick shutoff valve on the shower head, spacing out showers, is appreciated. Country living does have a few constraints!

Note that I charge additional for guests numbering more than 4, at 20 dollars per night per person, up to 6. Also very important: Absolutely NO SMOKING or VAPING inside the house. Ashtrays are provided for smoking outdoors, thanks for being considerate of other guests in this regard-- it is deeply appreciated!

15 Minutes from Ellicottville's skiing (consistently ranked highly in Ski Magazine) and 5 minutes from the Seneca Allegany Casino (with its entertainment and dining excellence), you have vacation options galore. Upon booking, I send details of local things to do with websites to click on to find out more.

The house has a 65-inch screen smart TV in the living room and a smart 49 inch one in the 2nd floor master bathroom, which has an attached deck. DIRECTV provides viewing pleasure; it is a basic service, so bring your Netflix, Prime, etc. passwords with you.

Three bedrooms, all upstairs, with beds as follows: one King, one Queen, one Full. Both bathrooms are spacious, one upstairs and one downstairs, and the open floor plan with no walls between the Oak Room (with pool table), kitchen and living room make socializing ideal.

Beautiful hiking, with Art Roscoe's ski/bike/hike trails and Stone Tower, with its stunning views, but a short distance away. There are 5 mountain streams, with no habitation upstream, in the back 40, which is surrounded by Allegany State Park.

I also ask that people bring their own pillows and blankets, though I will provide them if absolutely necessary. Note that I will have to wash all of them after you leave, so that is an added hurdle both in time and cost. LET ME KNOW IN ADVANCE if you require either, such as you flying in.

This is a great place to forget about the rat race, the daily stresses of living...if only for a short while. Nature is therapeutic, and you walk out the door and hike immediately. A crackling fire at night. Feeding fish in the pond. You will feel rejuvenated.

Thanks so much for your interest and know that once you get here (I live on site), I leave you alone except to help as a concierge of sorts. Cheers.

Note: As said, I live on site with my wife. Our home is 50 yards from the house. Once you check in, we make ourselves scarce except to respond to questions or requests. We treasure our privacy as well. We the last place on the left to a dead-end road. Thank you.

I stayed for a few days with my teenage kids to just get some time alone together and enjoy the quiet. There was plenty of space and everything we could possibly need. The scenery was lovely, so peaceful and quiet. The resident pups were so well behaved and friendly. We had unfortunate weather but still had a great time playing board games and eating good food. The kitchen could have been cleaner I suppose but nothing we didn’t expect with a cabin in the woods. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Overall it was exactly what we hoped for and had a really great experience at The Camp!

We had such an amazing time here. The accommodations were so relaxing and comfortable. We played games, watched movies, hiked, fed the fish in the pond, played pool, made s’mores over a bonfire, played with the dogs and even tried to fly a kite unsuccessfully. Then we experienced the eclipse at a local event and had a blast. This is an amazing place to do whatever your heart desires!

Had a great stay. Sid and his dogs Pup and Maggie were great. The place and location worked well for us while we were in town for the Snocross races at Seneca Casino.

Wonderful stay. Surrounded by nature, quiet, and very spacious home. The heated floor was a treat after an adventurous winter hike. Close drive to local amenities. Felt safe and had a great stay!

We had a wonderful long weekend at ‘The Camp’, a spacious, well appointed rental in the forest. Host Sidney is gracious, interesting and very helpful. We made good use of the pool table and piano in the evening after skiing, and enjoyed the library of jazz music available on vinyl. We also enjoyed visits from the pups! The sloped walkway from the parking area to the house was a bit slippery due to the weather but there is a handrail. If the opportunity arises we would definitely go back!

Nice location and has all the things needed for a great stay. The parking is very tight and in the winter I wouldn’t recommend unless you have an all wheel drive. Super nice host!!

Syd was great w communication both before and during our stay. His dogs Maggy and Pup are welcoming and my dog and daughters loved them. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing allowing us to just hangout and connect as a family. The size of the home was large and very confortable for us and two dog brothers. I do a lot of cooking and the large kitchen was perfect for a feast and all to eat together for meals. This property will be a definite to visit again when its a tad nicer out to partake in hiking and more exploring. Absolutely everyone had a great time un plugging while still being close enough to stores and shops. Thanks Syd and fam

A couple of us ran and a couple volunteered at this instant fall classic. The place was only a few minutes away. Wish we could of stayed longer.
