Family get together

The house was amazing and was spotless upon our arrival, plenty of bedrooms for everyone in our family, the kitchen table is perfect for playing cards and games, firepit for fires at night and the location is so close to the village.

Wonderful Escape

Our family has the most wonderful time. The house is gorgeous and felt made for us. Everyone could gather together for meals and games but also separate for alone time as needed. It made a special birthday celebration even more special to get to spend it in this beautiful home.

Large Family Ski weekend with small children

Very well located and supplied for an extended family with young children. Good floor plan and pictures represented the property accurately. Owner was very helpful in providing tips on navigating our ski adventures with first time skiers in tow. Stay home cooking was a must and house was perfect for that effort.

Cousins golf trip

We had a great time! The house was really nice with plenty of space for 10 guys. Close to holiday valley resort and downtown Ellicotville. Fire pit and hot tub were outstanding! Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable. Communication with owner was very prompt. Would definitely book this property again!

Great house in a great location

Ideal Location for our family ski trip to Holimont. As are kids are all adults it was nice to find a house with queen beds in five bedrooms. The bunks in the other worked great for our three year old grandson. Location is very close to Holimont (you can see the house from Sunset) and was well stocked. Great “ski house” vibe with stone fireplace. Would definitely rent again.

Great house to ski at Holiday Valley

This is about the 15th year we stayed at the Runnaway Springs house. It accommodates four couples and some of the "kids" very well each year. Some furniture is in need of repair. The kitchen is very well appointed which is important to us as we love to cook dinner at home for 12-16 people

Hi Sally Jo, Glad you came back again. thanks for the input on the furniture. The recliners always seem to need repair every time I go up there so it looks like we will be soon replacing it with something that is more likely to withhold the wear and tear of a rental property. I hope you enjoyed our all new appliances and the on-demand water heater that we just installed for our guests. Look forward to your return next year.

Awesome property

This was an annual ski long weekend for the family (4 couples and 2 children). The amount of bedrooms were wonderful for all of us. The boys loved the bunk beds. Actually would love to return in the summer/fall to enjoy the decks and outdoor fire pit. The hot tub was so relaxing!! Loved the spacious dining table to gather for a meal and to play games at night. Linda was very responsive from the start of booking and during our stay.

Great location and home; bad hot tub

While the home itself was lovely and well located, the hot tub was absolutely filthy (scum, debris, stain rings, horrible smell) and not usable. Basic amenities (shampoo, body wash) were nonexistent although there was an abundance of towels which was appreciated. Overall the home was fine but if you’re expecting use of the hot tub, book elsewhere.

I am so sorry about the hot tub experience. I contacted my hot tub maintenance man to discuss the matter as he is contracted to clean it prior to each guests arrival. This is totally unacceptable. As a preventative measure I have asked my house manager to doublecheck that the hot tub was taken care of before the arrival of guests. Please contact me to discuss further. Thank you.

Hot tub n cleanliness

hot tub we were told the day we were going to check in was not working when that was the main reason... floors were dirty and toilets well there was black stuff all inside of them i had to wash the toilets and dry urine on the bottomnof the toilets

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul 2023
Unfortunately, our hot tub did indeed breakdown the day before our guest arrived. I was notified by Rich that the panel was broken (he takes care of my hot tub) as he was there making sure it was ready after the previous guests left. We called and had the parts federal expressed and he fixed it when they arrived two days later. Due to the COVID crisis, none of the local pool supplies stocked the parts. I personally called local pool supply chains here in Cleveland and was also unable to obtain the parts (which had to be shipped from California). As far as the cleanliness of our home, I cannot comment but forwarded the comments to my housekeeper. I will say that her team usually does an awesome job and this complaint is highly unusual. Due to the inconvenience of not being able to use the hot tub, I also refunded him $200. Thank you.

A great place to experience Elliocottvillle

Overall experience was great! Plenty of space to spread out and still close to all the action in Ellicottville. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes and silverware for a large group. All queen size were comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. The bunk room beds were a bit lumpy though. Bathrooms were all working and the linens were plentiful. Owners were great! Communication was quick and their check in process was easy. Checkout was just as easy with only a few simple steps to complete on your way out. Only negative feedback was the parking, walkway, and stairs down into the property were covered in ice when we arrived. Shovels were available and we were able to get the stairs cleaned off. I know it can be hard to keep that stuff clean during the winter, but it wasn’t the safest to traverse while carrying items to and from the car. Overall the stay was pleasant and comfortable. Would recommend this property and owners if you’re looking for a comfy spot while in town.

We enjoyed this property. It very clean and close to the shops and restaurants. The hot tub was not clean when we arrived but the proper owner immediately sent someone out to clean and also sent a gift card which was appreciated.

The home was spacious for our large family stay. You have all the amenities you will need in the kitchen for cooking and more. All you need is your food. Plenty of bedrooms comfortably for our family of 12, to include 3 bunk beds. Also the hot tub & fire pit was very enjoyable.

Great house a mile or so away from town!

A bunch of my friends and I got together for a 15-year high school reunion. This house was perfect. We had a very large group and everyone had their own bed. Linda gave great instructions and we had zero trouble with anything. I would highly recommend for any size group looking to explore and have a great time in Ellicottville.
