We were very pleased by the location of the place we stayed at. The wonderful fresh air and scenic forests and view were very relaxing. Our sons had an amazing time playing frisbee on the lawn. The house was well equipped, the mattresses were very comfortable, and the silence during the night gave us all the best sleep we’ve had in a long while! Definitely recommend this little slice of heaven to anyone wishing to get away from the noise of the city and would love to come back to it again!

Bob's house was very nice and offered us a good place to stay to accomplish many bucket list items we've been looking to do in upper New York. The town of Ellicottville is 5 miles and offers many shops, great dining, and a grocery store which was very nice for our stay. From the house we traveled to Niagara Falls for a day and rode the maid of the mist which was amazing. We then went to Letchworth State Park which is honestly one of the most beautiful state parks I've ever been to. There was a ton to do there including an Autism Nature Trail that we enjoyed with our youngest who is on the spectrum. We also spent a couple days at Alleghany National Forest and Alleghany State Park which are just beautiful. I would recommend hitting up Jake's Rocks and spending a day at Kinzua Beach which were just amazing. We also drove out to Erie PA and enjoyed Presque Isle which was also super fun as we rented kayaks and some canoes. These trips from the house do take between 45 mins and 1.5 hours by car but all were well worth it. Back to the house though, it offered all the amenities we needed and provided a really nice place to come home to after some very long days. Some days we didn't get back until 11pm and even though it's pretty remote it wasn't scary or anything like that. I would recommend Bob's place for anyone looking to get out and explore upper New York! Don't afraid of a little drive and enjoy nature! -The Franklin Family

We had a great time at the chalet and it was very clean and well equipped for what we needed. Owner was very responsive as well. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you

We were in Ellicottville for a family ski trip, and this chalet was in the ideal location for us. It offered all the benefits of being in the country/woods without feeling too remote. It is a very short drive to downtown Ellicottville and all it offers, including Holiday Valley Ski Resort. It is also particularly close to Holiday Valley Tubing Company if you also plan to do some snow tubing. Perched on a hillside, the house offers beautiful views from the living room and kitchen of the opposite field and forest, and we enjoyed watching the deer at dawn and dusk. The chalet was clean and charmingly decorated, and the kitchen was well accommodated. Every essential detail (and more) was covered, and we found this to be a very comfortable, cozy place when we weren't on the slopes. Our two children loved the bunkbeds in the loft, and it was very convenient to have a master bath just off the main bedroom downstairs that we did not need to share with the children. All in all, it's a lovely place, and we found Bob to be a clear, friendly, and responsive communicator. We hope to return again.

Nestled on a wooded hilltop, the views are gorgeous. Our two families met up for a long weekend of skiing and snow fun (8 ppl). Bob provided adequate directions for our vacation to start without a hitch! Kids (10-13) went sledding and played in the snow, explored the woods out back and there was a fire pit outside to warm up to during the snow storm. The home was clean and inviting. The 2nd private bed in the upstairs bedroom was a little short but fine for a long weekend stay. Both bathrooms are on 1st level. One bedroom on first level, other bedroom and loft on second floor up a spiral staircase. Only a 5 minute ride into downtown Ellicotville with beautiful scenery on the way. Would recommend staying here.

We rented this house for a weekend getaway . Very clean . Just outside of Ellicottville, so, it was nice and quiet,. Owner was very responsive when I had a question . Nice , cozy place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life . Would love to stay again !

Fabulous time had by all!!!!

GREAT HOUSE!! I was looking to spend a relaxing weekend in Ellicottville and this property perfectly fit the bill. The check-in and check-out process was clear and easy. I appreciated the location right outside of the village and the views from the deck and house are spectacular. The house is only 7 minutes from the center of the village but feels wonderfully remote, especially at night when every star is perfectly visible on a clear night. The homeowner was easy to work with and the house has all the comforts of home as well as a well stocked kitchen. The renovated kitchen overlooks the dining and living rooms and is open concept. Most of the sleeping areas are in the loft above the kitchen and the master suite area is separated from the main living area by a hallway and laundry room which was really nice. The house was super clean and comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. If you are looking for a place to hit the reset button, this house should be on your short list. I would happily stay again and may, when I look into returning to the area this winter.

The property was exactly as listed. Clean and organized. It was quite warm during our stay. Our host contacted us proactively and asked if he could bring some fans by to help with the temperature. Fantastic service and well appreciated. Grab this place - you will be happy you did.

My husband, son, son’s girlfriend and I enjoyed a nice peaceful getaway for the weekend. The house was a perfect size and the location was great! 5 minutes from town. House is very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

This property is nice, clean, cozy and wonderful. The grill area, fire pit, bedrooms and kitchen and the amenities are all you need to make great memories. It is located in a very nice spot, overlooking trees in the quiet country and is near several nation parks. The landlord is super friendly and understanding. Great choice! 5 star everything!

We had a great weekend at this cabin. Perfect location for Holiday Valley for a small group. Fireplace was great for at night and house was as expected.

The property is one of the best spots we have seen in EVL. The view is amazing and it is the perfect place to unplug and reconnect as a family. We found the drive to HV an easy and quick one, even in a snow storm :) Hoping to return in the summer or spring and enjoy what look like some nice walks in closeby Bryant Forest.

Great

Great

Nice and quiet, away from "town" , but not far...everything we needed, thank you

This place was amazing! Very well maintained, absolutely beautiful home with a view ! We were not far from Ellicottville but just far away enough to feel secluded. We will return.

It was perfect

The cottage easily accomodated the 3 couples that stayed there. The view from the very large deck was breathtaking, especially in the morning with the fog rising over the trees. This is a great place to stay if you are looking to relax, get away, and enjoy the outdoors. We even had a deer wander past the driveway during the day. We had a great stay and will be back again.

Great home had great space close to everything

Nice modern home on a hill and surrounded by woods. Beautiful view from the large front porch. Quiet location. Plenty of windows to open at night for a nice breeze.

The host was amazing from the beginning to the end! My family greatly enjoyed our little escape!
