About this property

Crazy spacious hillside ski chalet! WOW-views and expansive wraparound deck!

Just minutes from downtown Ellicottville and Holiday Valley, this contemporary three-level chalet has it all and room to roam. Located on a hillside with breathtaking views, the inspiring great room offers a high cathedral ceiling w/ a full wall of windows on either side of a stone surrounded gas fireplace. Doors on both sides of the great room lead outside to an enormous wrap around deck with solar lighting accents. The media room is adjacent to the great room -- perfect for a family movie night. The large custom kitchen is designed to accommodate 'many cooks in the kitchen' -- with a new stove and dishwasher, as well as a unique natural cut wood breakfast bar. The dining room is anchored by a long rustic farm table fit for entertaining all your friends or family. The spacious laundry room/mudroom has a new washer and dryer, as well as sink and storage.

Five spacious bedrooms (and 3 1/2 baths) offer private sleeping areas for everyone. An open staircase with rod iron rails takes you to the upper floor where three of the bedrooms are located. The lower ground level sports a recreation room w/ another stone surrounded gas fireplace, TV, bar, new pool table with a ping pong conversion top. Two additional bedrooms and a bathroom are on the lower level and all rooms there have direct access to a stamped concrete patio, perfect for entertaining.

Our chalet is fully equipped with linens, bath towels, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, fully stocked kitchen, Keurig, 12-cup coffee maker, electric kettle, ground coffee and Keurig cups. We have boards games, pool table, ping pong, a fire pit and a library-worth of books.

Self check-in and check-out. We're available by text and phone -- and, of course, on site if needed.

Wonderful home and weekend get away

The home is well appointed and just so relaxing. We had a great weekend. The nature surrounding us was amazing (we even saw an owl perched on top of the neighboring house) and shopping/wine tasting/beer sampling in Ellicottville was terrific. Thank you, Nancy and Rob, for opening your house for our birthday weekend celebration.

Beautiful Chalet - great area!

Beautiful home!!!! The owners were awesome!!! The communication was excellent. It was perfect for our large family and the home was very welcoming. Had all the essentials and more for a 3 day stay. The rec room with ping pong and pool table was our favorite spot - we spent a lot of fun filled evenings there. The great room was very comforting for relaxation with beautiful views!

Fabulous Five Star Home

Nancy & Rob are amazing hosts & their hillside home is spectacular. For our group of 8 adults - 3 couples, 2 singles & 2 small dogs it was so comfortable & spacious. They go above & beyond with the well equipped kitchen, comfy beds & linens & the simple check in. The views are lovely we spotted deer & hawks. It was a 10 min drive to Ellicottville with fun shopping & restaurants & Holiday Valley for a great day of skiing with runs for all abilities. We didn’t watch TV however there are two TVs, one in a cozy media room, the other in the recreation room with a fireplace & pool table/ ping pong table. We loved the grand room with vaulted ceilings windows all around and huge fireplace & the large dining room. The decor is beautiful. We had a fantastic time in this oasis & cannot wait to return.

Christmas Family Holiday

My family gathered from around the country, in Ellicottville, to celebrate the Christmas holiday together. There wasn’t any snow this year, sadly, but we still had a blast just being all together at Nancy and Rob’s beautiful, big house. We absolutely loved that there were multiple large spaces to gather together - around the large dining table, in front of one of the fireplaces, cooking together in the big kitchen. We all enjoyed the lower level rec room especially my kids and their cousins who played ping pong and shoot pool for hours. The kitchen is amazing and full of everything we could have wanted - including a mixer and rolling pin for baking cookies! The beds are comfy cozy with tons of linens, pillows & blankets. The house is very clean & well maintained. Nancy & Rob have thought of every detail to make the house feel like a home. There was even a decorated Christmas tree, twinkle lights above the fireplace mantel, and holiday touches on the tables. Nancy was super responsive to our needs & always quickly communicated with thoughtfulness and a great sense of humor. I can’t say enough good things about this property & its owners! Definitely recommend & would stay again!

Great Family Weekend

My family and friends love this property. This is the 6th time we have stayed here, and each time is another great trip full of new memories. Maybe more so on this trip as this property is now pet friendly. Caesar and Willow (our little dogs) also had a lot of fun. Nancy (owner) makes you feel special and wants you to enjoy every part of your stay. She communicated with us from the time of our booking until we got into the house. She thanked us at the time we confirmed the rental. Just prior to our weekend she sent a message on things to do that particular weekend in/around Ellicottville, what to expect (including a weather update). And when we arrived, we found a handwritten note, bottle of local wine and snacks. Thank you Nancy!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy & Rob Montone

Host profile image
As a lifelong Western New Yorker, the thought of owning an EVL ski chalet had always been a dream. Now that our kids are grown and out of the house, we decided to make it a reality! (Empty nesting is not so bad.)

However, not being able to take advantage of it ALL of the time, we decided to rent it out some too. As such, we really care about our home and want you to be as comfortable there as we are. We'll do whatever needs to be done to make your stay AWESOME! We're just a phone call and an hour's drive away.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw the chalet, we were blown away with the view from the great room with its vaulted ceiling and wall of windows. Then, we went out on the expansive wrap around deck and, really, nothing else mattered after that.

Luckily, we weren't disappointed with the rest of the house. The kitchen has more storage and features than my primary home -- and the farm table in the dining room just screams 'family dinners'! I love that there's a separate (adjacent) media room so that the great room remains all about good conversation, games or cozy book reading.

The five, very large, bedrooms ensure that everyone has a place to escape, if needed. The rooms on the ground level all have direct access to the outside which is inspiring. Lastly, the recreation room was plenty big enough for us to situate a large pool table (with ping pong conversion top) in the middle. I'm soooo excited to have both AND still have room for TV watching or lounging.

Simply put, this home is a wonderful combination of spacious comfort and rustic coziness. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our guests always comment that the house has the perfect combination of big spaces to gather together and private spaces to get away.
