Nice property as advertised. The window seals around the AC units had to be managed to minimize wasp intrusion but very minor - only removed 2 wasps during stay and none after the seals were adjusted.

We had a weekend stay to go skiing at Holiday Valley. No snow, so that was a bummer. Travel to the resort is 8.3 miles, about 15 minutes. The travel is so worth the privacy. Chalet was very nice..greaty layout with lots of room. Beautiful wrap around deck! Washer/dryer was great to have. Kitchen could've had a little better amenities. Outside was a little disappointing...cans and candy wrappers around; pond unkept; sleds just laying around; driveway could've used more stone (kinda muddy); chairs around outside firepit were very old. We are big outdoorsy people who like to be outdoors...yes, even in winter. Oh, and please oil the screen door. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location. Nice cozy house.

We love this house and the views! Can’t wait to come again next t year!

This spacious home has 3 levels with sizable bedrooms in each, (especially the lower floor). The whole place overlooks an immense landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. Enjoying our morning coffee & breakfast on the wrap around veranda while our small dog explored the grounds was perfect. Taking in the evening sunset from the comfort of the living room through the large windows flanking the large fireplace was just as delightful. We were even given logs so we could enjoy the fire-pit, which was a lovely treat. We did discover a few unexpected issues & promptly contacted the owners about them, all but one was fully resolved during our stay. It was fairly effortless to reach them when needed & they were always helpful & courteous in their response. Visiting Niagara Falls is easy & a must. The same is true for Griffis Sculpture Park, it's uniquely gorgeous. The staff there were exceptionally friendly & sweet with us. You'll need to stock up on groceries which is simple enough as the stores are a relatively short drive away. If you're looking for sanctuary within beautiful, quiet, private, ample surroundings, this is it. I would've liked the place to have been a little cleaner & for certain appliances to have worked better, but the owners were responsive & the location & general living layout make this a stay worth experiencing.

The description perfectly summarizes this hidden gem. We hope to return soon for the third time.

My family and I - my wife, son and daughter-in-law, and two grandsons - spent a week at this East Otto chalet, and the accommodations were just perfect! The loft bedroom was perfect for both boys and the first - floor king room was perfect for my wife and I. My son and daughter-in-law settled in nicely downstairs with the queen bed, futon, and large-screen TV. There was a window-mounted AC unit in every bedroom that cooled the Chalet nicely all week. When we travel, we cook together because we all enjoy cooking and sharing meals together, especially at breakfast. The kitchen worked out just fine, with the tabletop griddle and plenty of pots, pans and accessories. We drove to Niagara Falls twice, first for the Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds, then back two days later for a great dinner at The Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls, NY, then for the Falls light show and fireworks display. Griffis Sculpture Park is a fun place for hiking. There are three trails - green, blue, and red - and you get rewarded along the trail with all the interesting sculptures to discover. Spend an afternoon touring Ellicotville (EVL to the locals). Great little shops and several good restaurants like Katy's Cafe', for lunch. Afterward, take a stroll through the Nannen Arboretum. There are plenty of options for shopping in Springville, as well. It's only nine miles from the Chalet. And there's so much more nearby that we simply didn't have time to see and do. You'll have fun if you go!

The property is tucked out in the hills with a great view across the valley with great sunsets watching the clouds pass by through the awesome floor to ceiling windows. Check in was easy. Got settled in and had two questions that were answered quickly by the hosts. Will definitely be a return VRBO when we come back into town.
