Ellicottville

"Several members of my family stayed at this house when we were in New York for a wedding. The house was easy to rent because Steve is so prompt with a response. The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs that worked out perfectly for my group. 2 bathrooms made it easy for us all to get ready in a timely fashion. The house is located just a few blocks from town and we walked it everyday. Numerous restaurants are downtown and we had good food at each one that we tried. Steve has a notebook with area attractions that came in handy when my grandson arrived late and was hungry. The notebook contained a pizza/wings place that delivered. We ate out most meals (well, we were on vacation) but the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pans, silverware and anything we could possibly need. The house was immaculate. And the front porch was delightful - so fun to just sit and watch the traffic and pedestrians. We were in the area to attend a wedding in Orchard Park. I am so glad we chose Ellicottville as our home away from home. The town and this home made for a perfect trip."

"Yes, as the description states, this is not a fancy ski chalet. If that's what you want, keep looking. However, if you're looking for a very spacious, comfortable, and clean place to have a great vacation and be near Holiday Valley and all that it has to offer, you've found the place. My group of 8 was very happy with our rental. We had tons of space and everyone had a bed. The living room area is awesome with a cool little bar spot. The kitchen is very large and accommodates many cooks (or those making bloody mary's while the cooking is happening). The kitchen table is a little small, but we made it work, eating in shifts or taking plates to the living room, not a big deal and extra chairs were provided. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed is that there we no throw rugs (and it was wet, snowy out). But a quick dash thru the house netted us a huge closet in one bedroom with ample bedding, linens and rugs for about 10 houses................pulled out what we needed. Only other draw back I can think to mention is that the water had a slight scent to it that was not great. However, drinking water was provided separately and I've had that water smell before,....it doesn't stick with you when you shower, so just ignore it and remember, the place is very reasonably priced! One recommendation for the owner might be to rearrange the bedrooms a touch. The smallest room had the most amount of beds (double and twin bunks). It was VERY tight in there and we hardly had rooms for duffle bags or suitcases (although there's a nice big hallway we used for that). That little room could use a small mirror as well. It might be better to move the bunks into the front room, as it is larger. Just a thought. Anyhow we very much enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Country Farm House. Look forward to returning sometime!
