The history was responsive to needs and easy to reach before and during our trip. The house had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We only had to bring our own food and personal toiletries. The view was amazing and exactly as expected from the photos provided. The area was secluded and quiet, which made for a much needed peaceful weekend.

Warm and cozy, plenty of room to be comfortable with a large dog. Amazing views as always! A home away from home with allThe conveniences. Wanted to hike the trails, but my dog wasn’t a fan of of the deeper snow, despite his long legs. Having stayed here in the summer, I know the woods and trails would have been beautiful.

The view from this house was so beautiful. I loved waking up and watching the sun rise. Our dogs had a blast on the property playing frisbee and walking the trails. We had a fire in the wood burning stove, it was so cozy.

The cabin was really nice and since there was no wifi and limited cell phone service it was nice to have conversations with the kids with out a phone in front of their face

The property was excellent! Very comfortable and relaxing. The Beef Haus in Wellsville is a great local restaurant, but the barbecue grill on the back porch was an excellent way to enjoy some good food as well.

Quiet and relaxing

The cottage was very quiet. The view was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the deer in the field in the morning and evening. Wellsville is only 12 minutes away so we could still make a quick trip into town if needed. We would definitely like to come back in the future.

First White Christmas

It was just a describe. Quiet, peaceful and the cabin was cute and cozy wonderful view. We had a fantastic time sledding and playing in the snow. The host was awesome we got into town late and she made sure the lights weren’t on for us also made sure the drive way was plowed for accessibility. Thank you
