The house is in a beautiful wooded setting and had a great layout with the bedrooms all having adjoining baths. Game room was a bonus that we all enjoyed. Nice location too with just a short drive into town Our host was responsive.
Host was fantastic! Great communication and extremely helpful. House was beautiful in quiet/scenic location very close to town. Would definitely book again!
Really cool place. Some things need better instruction or updating, but overall very accommodating.

We apprecitate the feed back to better our stays for familys. We since have since addressed the new tankless boiler for warmer showers and instruction guides for renters Thankyou again
This house was absolutely gorgeous!!!! We booked this for a Women’s Friendsgiving dinner !!!! The owner Anthony is very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be staying again really soon.
This house was amazing . Beautiful and perfect for a get away with our adult children . Would stay here again . Game room was fun , perfect TV set up for lots of football. LOVED it!!!!!
My family rented this house and it was wonderful. The house was fully stocked, very clean and was in a great location from ski resorts and the town. Host was excellent to work with and I highly recommend this house and host. Game room was a huge plus for the kids and beds were very comfy and house was immaculate/clean at check in!!
This place is a gem. Big and rooming for the 4 couples. The games room lead to some serious competition and the great room was great to end the night for chats and drinks. Anthony was ver accommodating when ever we had a question. Would stay here again. The place was beautiful
The hot tub wasn't working the first night, but our host quickly got someone out to fix it the next day. All of the bedding had a strong perfume smell which we weren't fond of. Also, the hot water wasn't very hot. The game room was fantastic though. I also received a message from the host saying that the garage door was open, I didn't have a problem with that, but it was only open for minutes while we were getting everybody into their cars. Overall, I would stay there again.

We apprecitate the feed back and will improve on the warmth of the showers. We have since changed the dryier sheets.. thank you again
We were looking for a combination of quiet family time and proximity to activities, and we found both with this property. The house itself is well-maintained and well-appointed. We visited during winter and loved having the hot tub available. Also, there are many outdoor seating and gathering areas. The location vis-à-vis Ellicottville and Holiday Valley was perfect. Being a couple of miles away from them gave us privacy and quiet when we were at the house, while also providing easy access to restaurants, shopping, hiking and skiing when we wanted them. The layout and comfort of the family room and common areas promoted lots of family time and group discussions. We enjoyed our time staying at this property & highly recommend it to others.
This home is beautiful, setting the location apart from others as the home is surrounded by the beauty of the woods representative of Lake Placid. Our most favorite part of the home are the bedrooms with the extension of large patios to sip your morning coffee elevated high enough to be level with the tree tops which is truly a luxury of privacy and relaxation. The cedar filled home which dawns floor to ceiling windows in the great room brings comfort and nature to the fore front. Such a beauty of a home you find yourself not wanting to leave. There is enough space in the three levels to the home, giving everyone their own unique spot to relax, and have fun. The game room was a huge hit amongst our family during our stay. And last, yet most important to us, is how well kept and clean the home was. We were so pleased with our stay and hope we are lucky enough to obtain this home when we secure our next travel dates.
The house was really nice. Great amount of space and love that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Perfect for our family vacay. Would love to see it in the summer and use some of the outside amenities. We saw lots of wildlife even with the freezing temps! Owner was quick to text us back when we had a question. Just a few issues - Upstairs water never really got hot and a better guide to how stuff works in the house would be great. Also if there is measurable snow a 4x4 or at the very least all wheel drive to get up the road is needed.

About the host
Hosted by Anthony
I live in WNY and love the area. I always wanted a home for others to enjoy. Moranda has been a project bringing it to the standards that a premier home should offer in the area . The improvements since I’ve purchased home , new black top , deeper well for crystal clear water that doesn’t runout, brand new Trex porch , painted floors in the arcade area , new showers on the third floor , fixed frames around sliding doors , pest proof cracks , painted mostly all the rooms , new mattress in 3 bedrooms , new throw rugs , year round Christmas trees , new landscaping in rear with Amish fence, rock water feature , land scape lighting , a/c in the bedrooms and great room, new arcade games, pool table , additional fire pit with swings and new out door setting around both pits….this isn’t the house from 3 years ago . I hope if you stayed here before you will appreciate the new amenities!
Why they chose this property
This house is tucked away ,,built into the side of a hill facing a forest with recurring deer sightings. When the leaves drop you can see skiers in the distant .
What makes this property unique
The kitchen table has a unique tree support , the extra long wood counter top and rustic ceilings make this house unique..we added a game room that most nice bars would have ,,, pool table , bubble hockey, updated golden tee golf, multi game with Pac-Man, arcade style dart game .. probably better then any in the ellicottville area !!
