Well, we purchased our log home because my husband (now ex) likes to fish and ski. I like to sit by the fire and have a glass of wine. I've lived in Buffalo all my life and never skied. The deal was sealed when our five year old niece looked at an Ellicottville ski run and decided she could ski because she watched Mickey and Goofy ski. So, that was it. We bought the property because I am going to need a lot of ski lessons to catch up with her and Ellicottville is the perfect place to learn how to ski!
Fast forward years later..... my daughter loves to stay at Ellicottville Ski Chalet with her cousins. She is now the skier in the family. In 2021, her young cousins joined her for the first time. In 2024, little cousins joined again and even my sister who has never skied tried it! We are now making memories here just like many of our repeat guests.
We sit on the deck and have our breakfast and listen to the wood peckers. It's so quiet and peaceful. Sitting by the fire or relaxing in the hot tub are nice spots after a long winter day. The kids love when it snows and they are sitting in the hot tub catching snowflakes on their tongues. I love watching the firefly show in the summer at night time on the deck.
Warm memories, that is what we all need. :)
