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 !

Our adventures span continents, from the lush landscapes of Guatemala, the rich history of the Middle East, to the sweeping plains of Africa…the streets of Paris, rolling hills of Tuscany, Zurich's charming cityscape, and the vibrant energy of Barcelona. Our family's wanderlust knows no bounds.

Whether cruising the Caribbean, sipping wine in Napa, or skiing the majestic Rockies, our journeys reflect a profound appreciation for diverse cultures and the sanctuary of a welcoming retreat. As seasoned travelers, we understand the importance and features that make a perfect stay.
Our journey into hospitality began with a shared love for skiing and the purchase of a vacation home for our family in Ellicottville NY that stole our hearts.

At the heart of our mission lies an unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional guest experiences that surpass the ordinary and inspire wanderlust in all of us.

Each property reflects our dedication to providing cozy, fun and inviting spaces where families and friends can come together, explore, and create cherished mem

Why they chose this property

I'm a dedicated school teacher, lifelong Western NY resident, and fervent world traveler.
Ellicottville, NY is our vacation home go-to town because it has so much to offer year round from skiing, golf, biking, hiking, shopping, and great food and entertainment.
We've chosen our properties to be most conveniently located in order that it's a quick walk to the village's main strip or the ski slopes, golf, hiking, and biking trails.
When traveling with my husband, two adventurous sons, and two adorable dogs, I prefer short-term rentals over traditional stays for the extra comforts hotels can’t usually offer.
Eager to share this passion and expertise, I now specialize in delivering seamless and exceptional guest experiences with unique amenities at my properties.
I’d love to host your next unforgettable stay! Let me help you make the best of it with tips only a local would know.
