About this property

Home away from Home! Great location in between the Village and Holiday Valley

The Chateau Clark was built in 1900. Though she has had significant changes through a complete remodel, she still has plenty of old-time charm along with robust and beautiful modern upgrades. We have had plenty done by the Amish including the custom-built Hickory bedroom sets, 12-person dining room set, doors, Staircase, and hickory trim throughout. This has been our second home/ ski chalet for many years and is looking forward to others enjoying her more moving forward. There is plenty of room, offering 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. You won't be short on a gathering space. The kitchen, Dining room, and Living room all flow together very nicely. There is plenty of dining space for a fabulous meal and to later entertain. The living room has (2) couch sets. One wrap couch ( with built-in sleeper sofa ) is closer to the gas stove, while the other regular set with a full couch and love seat is situated closer to the main TV and Dining area.

We pride ourselves on making sure that all of the beds are very comfortable to sleep in. Everyone loves the right tools to get a great night's sleep. We always make sure there are adequate amounts of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and cooking apparatus for the size group that we allow to sleep in our properties. In case there is a power outage this property is equipped with a whole house generator assuring you we are making every effort you will never be without electricity.


The location is superb, being 1/2 mile to the main light downtown and 3/4 mile to Holiday Valley.

The back door entrance area offers plenty of space to store your skis and snowboards in the winter, along with coolers, and added belongings. In warmer weather, it can be used to store Golf Clubs, Tennis Rackets, or whatever else needs to be stored indoors. Once you walk in, to the far left are a few stairs to walk up and enter the house. The closer door takes you into the basement which is partially finished with a bit of a game room including Ping Pong, Air Hockey, and Foosball, as well as one of the full bathrooms. The Washer and Dryer are also in the basement.

If you have more company than the Chateau Clark will accommodate, please consider adding our nearby Crown Royal House ( property # 2594026 ), or individual suites: The Crown Suite ( #1896726 ) and the Royal Suite ( property # 1903647 ).

Thank you for your interest in being a guest. We have had many great memories in the Chateau Clark House for many years. We hope you do too!!

Comfortable and great location!

We skied at both Holimont and Holiday Valley. Great location for both places. We also had events in town and actually walked to the bars and restaurants. Such a great experience. We’ll be back!

Wonderful experience

This is our second trip to Holiday Valley and we realized the off resort options might be our speed. We don’t mind driving up to the resort, have teenagers in tow and cook most of our meals at home. This place fit us all, has room for our group to grow, had more than one bathroom and a wonderfully stocked kitchen. The gear storage was very helpful and almost a portal back to warmth on our -13 trip. It’s close to downtown if the imbibers wanted to venture. We had two cars and plenty of parking space. The host was great in communicating with our planner (who decided to break his elbow pre-trip) and our guests who couldn’t work the TV. One full bath is on the main level with one bedroom and another bedroom upstairs had a full bath so remaining bedrooms share the main level bath. Our last place only had one bath so we considered two full baths a BONUS!! We had a wonderful experience and are grateful for these accommodations and will likely return.

Wonderful EVL house!

We had a great stay at Chateau Clark. It’s far bigger than it looks but cozy at the same time. Our group of 4 adults and 6 kids/teens had plenty of room. It’s about two minutes from Holiday Valley- great location!

MLK Wknd ski getaway

When asked to join a group of friends for a ski weekend and tasked with finding accommodations to fit 8 adults, I hopped on VRBO and immediately knew that Chateau Clark would fit our needs. Clean, roomy and comfortable are the first words that come to mind and ideal location to the village and the slopes are the next. On site parking was ample for our 4 large vehicles. I would be remiss if I did not also mention how lovely the property was as well! Communication with the host was clear and easy and I would not hesitate to book again for next years trip!

A Home Away From Home

We stayed at Chateau Clark as a post holiday get-away. We are not skiers but have always visited Ellicottville as a young couple and now a family of five! Our party grew this year and included grandparents and family friends. We had plenty of room, five well appointed bedrooms! Bathrooms (3 full) were plenty. We spent nights in the fun basement, although "old" it was warm, "not scary" per kids, and clean! We cooked many meals in the updated kitchen. Easy walk to town and easy drive to Holiday Valley (we did the mountain coaster-so fun).The hosts were easy to communicate with and made sure we were settled and check-out was simple.The mud room is a skiers dream, but we liked using the hooks to hang our various snow gear...it was a winter wonderland! We will be back!

U-14 States at Holimont

Perfect location for our multi-family group of parents and 13 year old ski racers. Short walk (10min) to town and 5 min drive to Holimont made for an enjoyable long weekend in EVL. House was clean and had everything we needed. Owner/host provided all information about the house in advance, and made the process seamless. We will be back!

Holiday Getaway

This was the perfect house for our stay. We have been going to Ellicottville for 12 years and outgrew Alpine village town houses. Found this 5 bedroom house with a yard and firepit for the family. Lots of room for husband and myself, 3 sons with their wives and 4 grandchildren ages 1 to 4. Right in the middle of Holiday Valley for the skiing and Main street to walk the shops and breweries. Would definitely stay again.

It was pretty good, but. . .

Overall a 4/5, but this would have made it a 5: 1. If we could have paid xtra to bring our chihuahua 2. If the pull out couch had been supplied with sheets 3. If the basement rec room was larger, shielded from the furnace and laundry equipment, and provided with a couch and flat screen TV
