About this property

1/2 mile to EVL, Lake, HOT TUB, Pets welcome

ABOUT THE SPACE
Come and enjoy this gorgeous 4 bed, 4 bath waterfront-log-cabin, perched on a breathtaking lakefront property, offering year round beauty! We are nestled in amongst over 1000 acres of undeveloped wilderness and rolling hills. This property offers the rare combination of relaxing, rural-type privacy, yet is so close to town you can walk there. Come enjoy the beauty of our hidden wilderness, yet be so close to town you won't miss any of the action. It's truly the best location you could hope for!


THE SPACE
The house is fully furnished with every amenity you could want. Basic cooking equipment and utensils (as well as grilling utensils) are provided for your convenience. Hand sanitizer in every room for your safety and ours. Every room in our house has a spectacular view! 3 of the 4 bedrooms have a Lakeview window, and the other one has a beautiful view of the ski slopes of Holimont Private Ski Resort.

There a plenty of indoor and out door games provided such as Corn Hole, Ring Toss, Life, Chess, Checkers, Cards, Sorry, Monopoly, Hungry-Hungry Hippos, Rummikub, 7 Wonders, and others. All of the light switches in the house are clearly labeled to make things as easy on you as possible. We also provide an office area complete with a comfortable chair, a large monitor, laptop stand, and a printer.

Head outside and enjoy grilling on one of our two grills, as you take in the breathtaking year round scenery of our property surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. Relax on our lake by kayaking, or fishing for our stocked game fish including Large Mouth Bass, and Northern Pike. Or try your hand at fly-fishing in order to catch one of our mature Rainbow trout! (Fly fishing gear can be purchased in town if you dont have your own.) Take an adventurous hikes around our 25 acre property and discover wild apple trees, raspberries, strawberries, a hidden hillside pond, and a multitude of wildlife including deer, turtles, foxes, beavers, ducks, geese, woodpeckers, and humming birds.

Enjoy our bar style patio furniture, complete with awning, or relax in our folding camp chairs by the campfire pit. Imagine creating great memories by telling ghost stories as you cook marshmallows or Smores in the lakeside campfire, to the serenade of bull frogs, while you sit under a spectacular, celestial display of brilliant stars!

If indoor fires are more your thing, enjoy using our wood burning stone fireplace. Imagine yourself cozied up on the couch, sipping on hot coco or hot cider, to the wonderful aroma of real Applewood burning in the fireplace.

(Applewood sold separtaly, only while supplies last!)

GUEST ACCESS
You will have access to our 4 bed, 4 bath log cabin and also enjoy sole access to the entire property and lake.

It is conveniently located only 0.8 miles to the famous resort-town of Ellicottville. Only 1.5 miles to Holimont Private Ski Resort, and just 2 miles from Holiday Valley Ski Resort, Golf Course, Driving Range, New York Canopy Ziplines Aerial Adventure Park, Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster, and Tubing. Ellicottville Rodeo is also a popular tourist attraction in the summertime, usually around the 4th of July. Another Popular draw is Gentners Commission Market (Flea Market/Farmers Market/Auction Barn) opens at dawn, every Wednesday, year round, located in nearby Springville. Fall Festival (Octoberfest, October 9-10), and Summer Music Festivals are also a big deal in the town of Ellicottville. If you have never been, I highly recommend it!

In town you will discover great restaurants and a lively night life. The local favorite Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC), and Villaggio, are great fine dining experiences with a great atomosphere. The EBC offers traditional American food in a fine dining atmosphere and the Villagio offers more seafood on its menu including Chillean Sea Bass, and often has live music as well. Check out the another local favorite called The Gin Mill, a casual feeling bar restaurant and bar with reasonably priced menu which also has live music several nights a week with no cover charge. From there, the late night crowd likes to congregate at either Maddigan's Rockin' EVL bar, or Ballons. Both are great for more of a Bar/Club scene.

If you want to stay closer to the cottage, we have a number of great places within walking distance! Right next door we have Hockey legend's very own, the always popular, Tim Hortons Cafe and Bakery. Right across the street from there you will discover the fashionable Steelbound Brewery & Restaurant, which serves great food and decent priced flights of inovative beverages. Also, we just installed a brand new luxury HOT TUB for your enjoyment!

Other details to note:
You are welcome to use the entire property, and should be the only ones on it. However, due to the popularity and location of my property, on occasion there are people who stop to go fishing on my property. If that is the case during your stay, and it bothers you, you can ask them to leave or let me know, and I can send someone out there.

There is a blow up queen size mattress in the upstairs bedroom closet and two extra large cots for extra guests to sleep on. Please be careful not to scratch the hardwood floor with the cots, as we have had problems with this in the past. Please place the cots only on the carpet.

Propane, charcoal, and firewood are not included with the property. However, we have a propane tank for the grill that you can refill if you need to. Sometimes previous guests will leave some propane/charcoal/fire wood behind when they leave. If they do, you are free to use that free of charge. Real Applewood logs for the fire place are sold right out back of the cottage in the parking lot, only while supplies last. Prices may vary due to supply, as Applewood is notoriously hard to source due to its superb utility in all of its aspects. It is the best for carving, the best for furniture, the best for smoking food, and also produces America's favorite fruit. So nobody ever wants to cut these trees down! Yet we provide the best of the best at this cottage so we bring it to you as often as we can! A separate charge will be added to your account if you would like to purchase some.

Great property! Very comfortable.
Perfect for girls weekend! Hot tub was great, furniture was comfortable, kitchen well supplied. Covered porches were nice for winter. We stayed in March. Fireplace was great. This property is remote, yet minutes from the action in Ellicottville. Clean and comfortable. We will be back! A big thank you to our host Michael!

Best vacation ever
Super great, quiet location. Kids loved fishing and swimming in the pond. We had days of amazing hikes through the 25 acres of beautiful nature at its finest. This will be a repeat spot for our family to return at various times during the year. The host was the best!! He put up a bunch of extra beds for all my kiddos and even made a special trip to take care of a hornets nest for us. Loved this vacation. Grocery and gas within walking for bait and fridge fill. Great eateries. Looking forward to returning soon.
