Overall I think the property was good. It was very nice to have 3 bathrooms. We were skiing at Holiday Valley so the location was good. Really liked the “mud room area” on the bottom floor..great space to hold all your skis and gear.

Wooded location & very near the ski slopes !

Our family (of professionals) has rented a number of properties for vacation and weekend getaways, and this one was the first that really had us questioning home vs hotel. The reviews were surprisingly good…even after looking again following the first couple hours of our experience. We’re not always looking for the Taj Mahal, but clean, safe, and excellent service should be the foundation of any rental! It began with a late check-in. Food left in refrigerator; (lots of) flies in the kitchen light; missing or non-working lightbulbs and light fixtures; non functioning smoke detectors; an empty fire extinguisher; no TV service; no internet; black mold in the basement bedroom ceiling; no outdoor lighting to see when trying to come in; and a front (main floor) door that wouldn’t open which meant only the basement (first floor) door to enter…or escape. This already sounds bad enough, and some items could have been mildly overlooked, but we reached out to the manager for help, asking about things like lightbulbs, outdoor lighting to see when coming in, smoke detectors, TV, internet, etc. you know, just the basics!! First, we were rudely told that the description never said anything about outdoor lighting. That the internet was not for streaming. Then told we could find lightbulbs in the utility room where we only found a few large flood-light bulbs, too big to fit into some fixtures - even if they were functional. But what we did find was lots of mouse feces! Something we did not share with many members of our family. Sadly, we were stuck several hours from our homes on the eve of New Years Eve in a rental with poor service, a muddy driveway, and a choice to make the best of it or keep finding more wrong. We’re a family who prefers to see the silver lining, so we had some cocktails, played games, and enjoyed the surrounding ski lodges, shoppes and restaurants. We opted not to pursue the unhelpful property owner/manager, or even contact the fire inspector on the holiday weekend. Thankfully, nothing else went wrong, and our family stayed safe. We’ll definitely scrutinize the next rental and be prepared with a Plan B so this doesn’t happen again! A BIG NO on this property!!!

Nice layout for our family. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the second floor. 1 bedroom in the basement. It is a great location for skiing and very quiet. The furnishings are a bit dated, but the home is affordable and comfortable. Each room had its own thermostat. Took us awhile to figure out the heat - but once we did - it was very toasty and cozy. The fireplace on the main level did not work. And there is no remote for the DVD player. There is not enough signal to stream tv - as advertised. Many of the light switches did not seem to do anything. Also, no outdoor lights made it difficult to come and go after dark - which in the winter time is early in the evening. Kitchen lacks cookie sheets, and casserole dishes, otherwise it had everything we needed - including extra food, condiments and spices from previous guests. There was no dishwasher soap - so not sure how clean the dishes are. Unfortunately the view from the master bedroom is completely obstructed by condensation inside the sliding glass door. The owner is very strict about the no cancellation and no refund policy so be sure of your plans before you book.

The area is beautiful and has a lot to offer close by. We enjoyed the house with its two fireplaces and upper deck. Was a very fun-filled weekend getaway with my friends. We experienced the first snowfall of the season that weekend and c'mom even if your not a fan of snow there's something about snow on the pines in the mountains that is just beautiful and peaceful. And Ellicottville while the snow is falling lightly down is something out of a Norman Rockwell painting.. We will be back.

As a group had a good time Difficulty with fireplace No bathroom on bunk floor and 4 adults sleeping there- this was a problem. If listing stated location of bathrooms, would not have chosen property Lights in upstairs bathroom- 1 burned out on arrival and other while there Not enough chairs at dining table or outside Stated would have kreuig coffee and this was not provided The host was attentive to our needs when we contacted them Bunk mattress were uncomfortable

We felt like we were in remote territory, but yet, we were only a few minutes from town. We loved the upper patio with the fire pit. The only downfall was no cell service.

We really enjoyed the house. The location was 5 minutes from Ellicottville which made it convenient to attend the Fall Festival. The house slept all of us very comfortable but some of us complained about the beds being uncomfortable. The internet was also very slow. Despite these minor things we would stay here again despite these things. Love the Ellicottville area.

Great place to stay with friends comfortably!

The house had ample space for 4 adults and 2 kids! Great to have 3 bathrooms!!! The kitchen worked great, outdoor space awesome, proximity to state parks and town phenomenal

We really enjoyed our stay. Such a beautiful area

Great property with plenty of space and rooms for all.

What a wonderful cozy and welcoming surprise! Perfect place to spend our second girls getaway weekend! Close to town but private! MORE than fair price. And very well kept! Would book again in a heartbeat!!!

The house has all the usual and necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. No cable TV service, just DVD's and Wi-Fi. Cell service in the Ellicottville area can be weak or none. This home has been recently updated but is still a work in progress on mionr details.

All enjoyed the weekend at Holiday Valley Skiing . Home was nice and served as a lovely place to spend time together
