We stayed here for 4 nights in September. The property was exactly as advertised. WE had 8 adults and their was plenty of room for everyone. The layout of the property with two separate levels made it very spacious as it has two main living areas, the home had a lot more space then I was expecting from the photos. The property also was very well stocked with everything we needed. The location was very convenient to Downtown and the ski resort and golf course. THe garage being converted to a game room and bar area allowed for a nice place for everyone to congregate. The outdoor area also had a nice hot tub and fire pit and grill. The host was very accessible to answer any questions and made the process very easy and checked on us to make sure everything was going smooth. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Ellicotville and I would definitely stay here again.

Expertly renovated and decorated older home in a great location. The heated garage with games, gondola, jute box, pinball machines, refrigerator and hottub access were fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed and communication with the host was excellent. Bedroom with king and bunk bed was perfect for a family with young skiers. Roomy bedroom with 3 beds was great for adults. Upstairs bedrooms were great for couples. Surprisingly roomy!

Gondola house is Fanta!

This was a birthday / ski trip for 4 adults and two children. While Gondola house is not huge or fancy looking from the outside, it all changes when you walk through the door! This house is very nicely decorated, the several bedrooms are all just perfect - totally ski themed without being “kitschy”, and the game room just blew everybody’s mind. When we weren’t skiing or out at some of the great local restaurants, we spent all our time in the game room and the hot tub. Michelle was an excellent, responsive host, and I definitely recommend her house !
