Gentlemen‘s ski trip

Eight mature males exercising their right for gender specific socialization on a yearly ski trip came to stay at this property weekend. The property the communication of the supplies were all excellent. No problems with check-in. The kitchen is well appointed for even halfway serious gourmet cook with plenty of appliances good knives, good vessels, good pans, etc. the wood-burning fireplace is a definite plus for ambience And we would not hesitate to book this property again

Lovely Home Close to Holiday Valley

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us! It was a wonderful weekend just a quick 3 minute drive over to the slopes. A warm, cozy, but spacious cabin-like feeling home in a great spot. ALL COMFY BEDS TOO! Easy to get everywhere. We will definitely be back!

Just like home

House and property were great. Inside was extremely clean, well appointed and very cozy/comfortable. Outside was very peaceful with beautiful views. The homeowner had everything available that we might need for our stay and even included some nice treats as a welcome. We would definitely return to this property.

This wonderful home made our trip!

This home is wonderful. We couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. We had the fire going all weekend and we cooked and hung out together. The place is impeccably clean and spacious enough that everyone had a spot for their stuff and to sleep. Having 3 bathrooms was wonderful. The Owner is delightful, incredibly accommodating and he made us feel like we were old friends staying at his place. It is a very special place to be and probably the best experience I have ever had staying in a rental!

we celebrated my husband 55th birthday. upon arrival a welcome sign, a bowl of goodies and a bottle of wine greeted us. the place was spotless and very well kept. The furniture was perfect for the chalet. the owner accommodated our need to enter early because we needed to put food in the refrigerator. thank you so much for your generosity. we are already planning another get away.

Horse Show Hospitality

It met our needs for accommodations while attending a horse show at the nearby fairgrounds for four days. The negatives were that the house did not have central air conditioning and the air conditioners that were there were not enough for the 90 degree days, There were no smoke alarms on the main floor or in the finished basement, especially since there is a bedroom down there. There was no fire extinguishers.There was no hand rail down the steps to the basement level. Some landscaping with nice shrubs and flowers would be a great asset too.

Family ski weekend

The chalet was very well appointed, cozy, and clean. Not really within walking distance of the restaurants and shops as I thought it might be, but a quick drive there as well as to skiing. Lovely fireplace, well stocked with wood. Never had to run to the store for anything. Teens enjoyed the basement, TVs, and snacks. I enjoyed listening to cousins catching up with each other, laughing, after hours of skiing, from the living room lounge chairs (that electric one will definitely be our next furniture purchase). Unfortunately we had to leave a day earlier than planned but it was worth every penny to have my children and grandkids all under one (very nice) roof.

Snowy weekend

What a great place. We stayed for the weekend leading up to a Bills game and a combination of holiday festivities, and snowy weather made this so memorable. The house was magnificent we were greeted with a gift box it had all the amenities needed for a postcard style retreat. This may be a silly point, but you can tell a lot about the quality of a rental by the toilet paper provided. You can cut costs or you can make people feel at home. And we felt at home. Thank you.

About the host

I have been coming to Ellicottville since 1988.
It is my second home which might become my first in the near future, I hope.
We have been sharing our quaint chalet for a few years now, and its been a wonderful experience. People are so appreciative and respectful, check out our reviews.
We absolutely love the skiing, the aerial park at Holiday Valley, hiking, biking......
Come and share our place, some guests did not want to leave.
Looking forward to your visit.
Yves

Why they chose this property

It's a very quiet and very safe neighbourhood with awesome neighbours.
A quick drive to the ski hill, golf course, hiking trails.....and short walk to the village.
The library is a few minutes away, you can actually see it from the chalet. Ideal for young kids since they have all sorts of books, video rentals, games......or just get away from the group for some peace and quiet, or work since they have high speed internet.

What makes this property unique

Everything is either a short drive or walk.
During high season parking in the village might be a little challenging so walking is always the better option.
Too busy in town? Then back to the chalet for some peace and quiet,
Large yard for kids & pets, play game, hang around the deck, drinks by the fire pit.
Lots of parking for the guests on our property.
