About the host
Hosted by Michelle Hatswell
Hello and welcome! We are Michelle and Keith Hatswell—a couple driven by our shared passions for travel, the great outdoors, and the joy of creating unforgettable moments with loved ones. We live with a spirit of exploration and a zest for life in everything we do.
Our adventures span continents, from the lush landscapes of Guatemala, the rich history of the Middle East, to the sweeping plains of Africa…the streets of Paris, rolling hills of Tuscany, Zurich's charming cityscape, and the vibrant energy of Barcelona. Our family's wanderlust knows no bounds.
Whether cruising the Caribbean, sipping wine in Napa, or skiing the majestic Rockies, our journeys reflect a profound appreciation for diverse cultures and the sanctuary of a welcoming retreat. As seasoned travelers, we understand the importance and features that make a perfect stay.
Our journey into hospitality began with a shared love for skiing and the purchase of a vacation home for our family in Ellicottville NY that stole our hearts. Enthralled by the charm of the house and the beauty of the surrounding area, we felt compelled to open our doors to fellow travelers. And so, our venture into the world of short-term rentals began.
At the heart of our mission lies an unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional guest experiences that surpass the ordinary and inspire wanderlust in all of us.

Why they chose this property
I'm a dedicated school teacher, lifelong Western NY resident, and fervent world traveler.
Ellicottville, NY is our vacation home go-to town because it has so much to offer year round from skiing, golf, biking, hiking, shopping, and great food and entertainment.
We've chosen our properties to be most conveniently located in order that it's a quick walk to the village's main strip or the ski slopes, golf, hiking, and biking trails.
When traveling with my husband, two adventurous sons, and two adorable dogs, I prefer short-term rentals over traditional stays for the extra comforts hotels can’t usually offer.
Eager to share this passion and expertise, I now specialize in delivering seamless and exceptional guest experiences with unique amenities at my properties.
I’d love to host your next unforgettable stay! Let me help you make the best of it with tips only a local would know.
