This house is great for 2-3 families. We had plenty of room, the drive to Holiday Valley was under 10 mInutes (6 was the record!), the morning sun and views were spectacular, and the 2 wood-burning stoves were phenomenal. The upstairs living room is much larger than it looks in the listing photos, as is the dining area. There were plenty of “extra” amenities: garbage bags, a Swiffer and pads, laundry and dishwasher soap, and a coffee maker AND a Keurig! The best part of the house’s layout is that the kids/teenagers stayed downstairs the ENTIRE TIME except to eat meals. They had a blast sleeping together in the bunkroom, playing xBox, and Bubble Hockey. There was also an extra bedroom that the older teenagers slept in. My favorite feature was the spiral staircase - so neat!! Dean was excellent with his communication and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back next year!! 5 stars!!

We had a blast and had everything we needed. The property could use some updating but it’s just right for a ski getaway! The owner was very flexible when we had a big snowstorm on our last day and allowed us to check out a bit later so that we could wait for the roads to be cleared.

If you're looking for a bigger place that has a roof over your head, this checks that box. Beyond that, I struggle to find much positive to say. We stayed here probably 10+ years or so ago, and I think I can list the maintenance that's been done since: Painted the place green, appliances, new TVs. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure nothing's been done. For the price, I expect much better. Know up front that many of the listing pictures are quite old. Similar to previous reviews, we showed up to 2 rolls of TP. I asked the owner where to find more in the house and his response was "yeah, my cleaners told me supply was low". The kitchen is very poorly stocked which made meals tough. The place sleeps 12-14, yet the only pot was a 2qt saucepan and the couple skillets were tiny. Bath towels we found just piled in the dryer. Lots of burnt-out light bulbs. Busted dinning room chair. Old food behind the couch. An empty Corona box for an ash bucket. Everything just generally disheveled. Outside, the deck off of our bedroom was condemned (seriously!), and the "beautiful gazebo" was destroyed by what I'm assuming was a fallen tree or maybe an asteroid. The driveway to the house is basically mud. In a nutshell: the house kept us dry and warm. Beyond that, if I came back I’d pack as if I was going camping and bring literally everything I needed for the week.

I was excited to rent this because the reviews looked terrific, as well as the photos. But when we got there, I was unfortunately really disappointed. While it did sleep the amount of guests I needed, it was a bit gross. The sliding glass door handles were broken. Neither had attached screens, one was half attached with duct tape. The washing machine has dirty water in it that stunk up the lower level. For a home that can sleep 14, it came with 3.5 rolls of toilet paper, two rolls of paper towels, and about 8 or 9 clean towels that were left in the dryer instead of being folded and ready for us. Some of the plates in the cupboard were dirty, there was a cracked glass in there as well. The one cupboard didnt have a door attached. My husband had to fix a door knob so a bedroom door could close. Dirty cupboards inside. We moved the couch to sit and look out the pretty windows and found old food, empty booze bottles, and other garbage. The trash cans outside were full. We were all really disappointed. It was my wedding weekend and the girls got ready there and that was not what the pictures showed it was going to look like. VERY disappointed.

The chalet was exactly like the pictures, very nice and roomy. The owner was easy to get ahold of and very understanding. We had a great time there.

Very good house decor was slightly outdated but overall very nice house

We all enjoyed our weekend stay!

House was everything we needed and conveniently located to ski slopes

Close to Holiday Valley and town. Kids enjoyed sledding and there were a couple of sleds on property. Owner was easy to communicate with. Overall a cozy place to stay.

My family and I wanted to stay in Ellicottville for a weekend of skiing and relaxing. Dean's house was conveniently located for skiing at holiday valley and kissing bridge. Plenty of space in the house for 12 guests. Quiet neighborhood. Huge driveway, with a lot of parking space. We would definitely return.

Place was accurate with its description. But I wished that the bathroom lights, kitchen and dinning room were brighter. But overall, a great place. I would recommend this place to friends.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house for our Holiday Valley ski vacation over MLK weekend! House was clean and very well stocked. Kids LOVED the bottom floor game room and 2 bedrooms, one with double bunk beds and the other with two beds. There is also a great laundry room on this floor. The main floor had a very spacious living room and dining area. The bedrooms were great upstairs too! One room had its own bathroom with a full/queen bed, the other two rooms had queens. A very nice full bathroom on this floor also. It was only a 10 minute drive from the slopes! Highly recommend!
