Charming Log Cabin on Private Pond Nestled in Woods Near Holiday Valley Resort
My charming log cabin sits on 100 acres of private land which adjoins 2200 of New York State Forest. It overlooks a small pond that is stocked with bass. You are welcome to catch a few and cook them fresh on the gas grill. The front porch is comfortable with beautiful views of the pond, hills, and the valley below.
It is a cozy cabin with a sleeping loft and comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a shower. The loft has a queen size bed and the first floor has a double futon.
The sleeping loft is reached via a narrow metal spiral staircase.
Bring your bicycles in the summer or your cross-country skis or snowshoes in the winter or your hiking boots year round, as the state forest is full of groomed trails. Or bring your books and just relax and enjoy your surroundings.
There is a fire pit for cool evenings or just to enjoy while relaxing.
We are only 12 minutes from Ellicottville, New York which is a quaint little ski and resort town. You can ski in the winter or golf in the summer. There are world-class restaurants for fine dining and wonderful shopping. Take advantage of all that this enchanting area has to offer. I have some of the highlights listed below.
It is the perfect place for solitude or a romantic getaway. I hope you will come and enjoy this special place on Golden Hill!!

Very comfortable cabin in a beautiful peaceful location. Not too far from amenities but far enough to have great star gazing at night and close to some hiking trails. Would definitely stay again
It's a beautiful log cabin very peaceful and a great pond to swim in this is the third year in a row we have gone the dog loved swimming and Bette keeps the place so clean and well maintained we love it
It really gives the feel of being out in the woods but still having modern comforts. Close to nature and away from a bustling city. Just down the road is Ellicottville and all it has to offer, but you always have the porch with a good view to go back to.
Amazing little cabin nestled in the woods. Everything you need is provided by the accommodating host. Sitting on the porch overlooking the private stocked pond is as peaceful as it gets. Thousands of acres of State Forest land nearby to explore. We will return as 3 days / 2 nights was not enough.
The cabin is absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was our first getaway with out the kids. Even with the rain it was perfect. We sat on the front porch in the morning enjoying the view, the rain added even more relaxation. The host was amazing especially when we got a little lost on our way in! The cabin is about 20 mins from most things which was super convenient. We would definitely stay again and make it a longer trip next time!
What an amazing property. One of the quietest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The pond had tons of Bass. The property was very clean and neat. The home had everything you needed for a relaxing stay.My wife, my 17-year-old twin daughters and myself stayed for five days and had an amazing time. We will definitely return in the fall to see the leaves change colors. Part of our trip we drove up to Niagara Falls and had an amazing time, this property is only about an hour and 20 minutes from there so it’s an easy day trip. The town of Ellicottville is only about 8 miles away and has a bunch of really neat shops and great restaurants. It also has a small grocery store and gas station so you can get everything you need for your stay. We spent most of our time on the front porch, I could’ve lived out there for days. One of the most relaxing vacations I’ve had in recent memory.
My wife and I stayed for a ski weekend. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout our stay. Property is in a beautiful, quiet location and has everything you need for your stay. The weather was very cold during our stay so the cabin was on the cool side but sleeping loft was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
The cabin had everything you could need for a cozy and quiet stay in the woods in winter. The host was great and even helped us out when we ran into some car trouble. My dogs loved running around in the snow. I definitely want to vacation back for when I need some quiet time.
We love to keep coming back to Bette's beautiful property. The peace, quiet, and the gorgeous views are perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature.
