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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Host profile image
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.
