Photos and Description of the Ellicottville vacation chateau / country house rental
Chateau / Country House, 5 Bedrooms + Loft, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 21-23)

Our custom-built home near the heart of Western New York's ski center, Ellicottville New York (a 2 minute drive away), is located on a fabulous country lot with two ponds and beautiful views on all sides. The close proximity to Holimont and Holiday Valley ski areas provides the opportunity to enjoy a private luxurious retreat in a pastural environment. Minutes away is Allegheny State Park, the casino in Salamanca, and charming Ellicottville with its restaurants, night-life and myriad of shops to while away the hours.

Rumor has it the best snowmobiling in Western New York, cross-country skiing and snow-shoe trails, are right outside the front door with miles to explore. The property can be enjoyed four-seasons with unbelievable biking for all levels of expertise.

The home itself accommodates three families comfortably. After a full-day of skiing, an apres-ski snow-shoe, and a sauna to complete the day, there is nothing to do but relax, relax, and relax, with a little libation thrown in for good measure. Watch the sunset as the day draws to a close and like us (and all our guests) you'll be hard pressed to remember the stress and worries from the day before.

About The Owner

We bought this amazing property in 1988 and finally, after almost twenty years, decided if we were ever going to enjoy it we should build a home sooner rather than later. Our dream is to retire here in another twenty years but until then we enjoy this spot more than anywhere else. As our family gets older, and as we both are involved in building our business ventures, we are not able to vacation as often as we would like. Sharing our home with families who will appreciate the warmth of the home, who will enjoy re-charging by sharing laughter with good friends and family, and re-energizing in an exquisite rural environment, makes it worth opening our doors to hopefully new friends who will say 'that was so worth getting away.' Our goal is to find like-minded guests who look forward to returning each year to their home away from home. We hope you are one of them.

The Owner purchased this chateau / country house in 2006
Why The Owner chose Ellicottville

Ellicottville is simply about family. It's the place where we go that has no distractions. We can ski, snowboard, or snow-shoe as a family, share some laughs, watch MASH or Northern Exposure episodes, play games, or simply read a good book by the fire. It's where we connect as a family and find time to hear about what each of us care about. You cannot put a price tag on the importance of this part of our family time.

What makes this chateau / country house unique

Even if we're not in the greatest mood when we drive to Ellicottville; within minutes of walking in the door we start a fire and the frustrations melt away. The peaceful scenery calms us in any season and we let nature work its magic. With a southern exposure and full floor to ceiling windows in a two-storey, vaulted ceiling great room, the sunshine lulls even the most active person to relax. The stream outside our door provides a calming sound as we fall asleep (OK perhaps not in the dead of winter when it's frozen) but all the elements of nature - sunshine streaming in the windows, snow blanketing the trees, rain on the metal roof, or thunder rolling through the hills are therapeutic. It's a beautiful part of the world, right in our backyard.

Additional information about rental rates

50% deposit required at time of booking for winter rentals; remainder due one month before rental.

5% Cattaragus County Tax
Refundable $250 security deposit
Our pricing for the week is designed to provide 7 nights for the same price as 4 nights (except for Christmas/New Years, MLK, Presidents, and Fall Fest weekends). ie.

Great Family Home

5 of 5
Submitted: February 21, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The owner is great to work with! The listing photos accurately reflect the house, very well kept, and close to everything. Most importantly Family friendly, lots of space and comfy-cozy! I particularly enjoyed the kitchen space to cook, fireplaces on both levels (lots of firewood for use) and the lower level room to store All the ski equipment and outerwear. We will certainly be back!

Owner's Response: Always great to have guests like Bill, Jill and their friends - it helps take away the concern whether people will treat your house like it was their own. It is such a peace of mind and they were great to work with. They are also a classic example of the early bird gets the best booking - they were searching in early September 2012 and were the first one to book. Wish I could be a fraction as organized - I'll have to start taking lessons from them.

Multi - family ski trip

We were at Debra's house with 5 families including 6 kids. The house is super confortable and has a perfect layout. Lot's of things to entertain the kids - they had a blast! Debra was very accomodating and extremely easy to deal with. We are already planning our visit next year.

Owner's Response: Alessandra and her guests were extremely easy going and a pleasure to have at our place. We laughed over a shared experience. I had to email her after their visit to ask if she knew where a blanket disappeared to from the loft. When she suggested to check the basement I knew what had probably happened - our kids when they were young would create forts in the bunk beds. Sure enough - that's exactly what happened with their crew. As Alessandra said - "kids will be kids" - it was like playing with the box on Christmas morning instead of playing with the toys.

Annual E'ville Escape

Annual E'ville Escape
5 of 5
Submitted: January 28, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Your house worked out GREAT again this year. It's perfect for our group!

The house looks immaculate. We were able to hook up the Wii, unfortunately we forgot our games. We heard the kids in the lower level playing ping pong and laughing all weekend.

NO bear sightings :)

We had it all this year. Spring skiing on Saturday, Winter Ice skiing on Sunday and 8" Fresh Powder on Monday.

Thank you! We had a great time.

I hope we left the place in proper order as we scrambled to get on the road. Highway reports were not very good and we ran into several white-outs from the lake effect snow. Everyone made it home.

P.S. I may have to get a 4 wheel drive SUV. Snow started Sunday night. After picking up some of our night skiers, I couldn't make it up the 242 hill with my front wheel drive. Others were having trouble as well, so once I lost my momentum, I was done. Turned around and left it parked in Ellicottville for the night. Luckily my brother-in-law had a 4x4 Silverado and got us all back safely.
Owner's Response: This is the third year that Dave and the crew have stayed at our place - and we love their great attitude even when one year the hot water decided to inconsistently go AWOL. Dave's advice about Rte 242 was good - when the lake effect snow hits Ellicottville (which is what we all hope for) it does help to have cars with AWD.

Eville Escape Reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: January 24, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This rental was perfect for a family reunion/ski vacation - great scenic location, well-equipped, furnished nicely. Owner was easy to work with and eager to please. An added advantage - nearby cross-country ski trails. Description and photos were accurate and helpful. Would recommend and hope to visit again.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: Marge and her family were wonderful to deal with - especially since a huge storm decided to leave about 16" of snow in one day - and they were all trying to figure out how to travel home. Everyone was very caring and pitched in to make sure the place was immaculate (sparkling) for the next renters. Thanks Marge!

Our large group with lots of kids had a great stay in this cozy place near Ellicottville. It was great for family's! Lots of bunk beds and a separate living area in the basement for the kids to play. Peaceful, quiet setting, only 5 minutes from town.

Owner's Response: Roxanne and her family/friends were great sports about sparse snow conditions - but by all accounts they had a good time anyways. Thanks to Roxanne's suggestions about more towels - we've made sure there are enough sets for up to 23 people. Man - that's a lot of showers!
