The cabin and grounds have everything needed for a comfortable, cozy, and relaxing getaway. We made a promise to return next summer, but for much longer. Kudos to Marilyn and her team- they rock.

Hi Greg! I am disappointed to hear that you had trouble getting running water. After reading this review, I had maintenance staff check out the system thoroughly. There was nothing out of the ordinary found wrong with the system other than the switch for the pump was off. There is a sheet describing in detail how to make sure the labeled switch for the water pump is flipped to the “on” position. I do provide a contact number and do have staff on call from 9am-9pm. If you had chosen to contact me, I would have had my property manager help you resolve this issue promptly.

very private and peaceful

Needed some unstimulated/off the grid time for myself and my therapy dog who have both been too busy during pandemic. Great to be away from demands that would otherwise have filled these days and had time to do writing I had been putting off. Walking the easy trails and watching the koi swim around were perfect breaks in between writing. Host was quick to respond to any queries.

The Pictures said a lot - but there was much more

We had planned to stay someplace comfortable and out of the way for our first visit to see the Wellsville Balloon Rally. We did not anticipate finding such a beautiful, peaceful and enchanting place to relax and reset our minds and bodies. We listening and explored Ebb-N-Flow's natural surroundings. Loved the unexpected range of diversity for birdwatching. The koi were lovely to experience and the frogs made us laugh. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.

Peaceful Getaway in the Middle of a pandemic

Words cannot describe how peaceful and serene Ebb-n-Flow is! The cabin was very clean, there were sweet attentions to detail! We saw deer, flycatchers, a resident hawk and loved listening to the owl and bullfrogs at night. Watching the koi swim was so relaxing! Unfortunately I didnt get a chance to paint as we had very heavy rain on Saturday but listening to it on the metal roof was so soothing and we stayed warm and dry!! Overall such a wonderful place to unwind!

Weekend trip

The cabin was suitable. Our problem was there was no water available as we were led to believe online. I emailed the owner and attempted to contact the property management and got no response. We were on a hunting trip, so access to a shower and water to clean with was of utmost importance. To have no access to water other than the drinking water we brought made the trip far more challenging especially considering the price we paid.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Oct 2024
Hello Chad- The accommodations are “as stated” at our listing and website. I am sorry to hear that your stay was challenging due to the lack of water in the bathroom & shower. In review of property correspondences and call log, we did not receive an email or phone call notification during your stay to address the issue. Upon your review (feedback) I discovered there had been a problem with the water pressure and found the filter was plugged and had been replaced by our maintenance staff the day you checked out. A simple, quick and easy fix. If you had contacted us, the problem would be addressed immediately. There was a 5-gallon container full of spring water in the cabin along with the artisan spring as alternate water sources. We operate a 5-star business and go above and beyond to insure all of our guests’ needs are met. IMO the 3-star review is not justified as you did not give us the opportunity to address the bathroom/shower water pressure issue.

Picture Perfect

This is the picture perfect rustic getaway. We spent every minute outside sitting beside the beautiful ponds. The hiking trails are gorgeous. Really, everything about this property is gorgeous. The shower situation exceeded my expectations. Actually, I studied it for our own rustic cabin. Hint, unless you want a scalding hot shower, turn it on and get right in. Otherwise it’s entirely too hot. Marilyn was incredible… Extremely accommodating and always available. This place isn’t for everyone (sadly) but for those of us who appreciate it, it’s perfect. The tadpoles were new when we were there, so we are looking forward to weekly updates on their progress. Please, someone report back. Redwing Blackbirds were everywhere, the hummingbirds had just returned and the owls sang us to sleep. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

About the host

Host profile image
Tranquility Trails a Eco retreat center located on a 138 acre private game preserve. It was established by Marilyn Hellesvig & Lisa Bileti on 9-16-2013 in loving memory of Frank Bileti a father & friend having been instrumental in providing us the means to make this endeavor come to fruition.

The center is nestled within 138 acres of the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in the Southern tier of Western New York. This is the ideal place for folks who enjoy secluded, quiet, private places to unwind, relax and commune with the elements of nature. Activities include: hiking, biking, snow shoeing, bird watching, wildlife observation, meditation, stargazing etc. We currently offer 3 cabins, a cottage, 3 tent sites (1 is fully furnished). The cabins, cottage, tent sites & trails are very private and secluded. Each site has its own private entrance. There is approximately 8 miles of professionally groomed, maintained trails for guests to share for recreational purposes. The trails are marked and 10-15' wide. They range in difficulty. The southern section of the property ascends abruptly from 2050'-2250'. The northern range is less abrupt.

It has been our passion & a genuine labor of love to keep this environment as pristine as possible. Our ultimate goal is to be able to provide a place for man to be nurtured, where nature & wildlife will thrive, always striving to keep the environment as pristine & serene as possible. Truly a unique balance. Due to this balance, occupancy is limited. Small groups are welcome (contact us for pricing.) Ample parking & private picnic areas are also provided. No hunting, fishing or foraging allowed.

Why they chose this property

Our space "Tranquility Trails" is located in a mature, forested 138 acre private, secluded nature/game preserve in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Spending time in nature has always made us feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Nothing beats the fresh air, quietness and beauty more than spending time in the wilderness.
