Swiss Miss – Storybook A-Frame Retreat Near Holiday Valley
Swiss Miss is tucked away in Little Valley for that rustic, cozy vibe but still close to all the action in Ellicottville. Our rustic A-Frame style home features a large yard in a private wooded area complete with fire pit. We are only 3.5 miles to downtown Ellicottville and 4 miles to Holiday Valley or Holimont, making Swiss Miss the perfect place for your alpine vacation. Cozy up next to the fire after a long day of skiing, snowboarding, or hiking and gaze at the thousands of stars. You won't find another place like this in EVL!
The Space From the road, you'll see the Swiss Miss A-Frame chalet! Upon opening the front door, you'll be wowed by the floor to ceiling fireplace that brings together 3 levels of unique spaces.
The first floor houses the kitchen (well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and plenty of dishes, glasses and cookware), family room, first floor laundry, bathroom and king suite.
The second floor boasts two more bedrooms. One with a queen bed made of rustic wooden logs, as well as a bunk room with three more twin beds so everyone has a great night of sleep. Don't miss out on the balcony! The over-sized bean bags and dining set complete with bistro lighting, make this a multi-functional space to watch TV, game or have a cozy date night.
The loft level has three more beds and a small table for arts & crafts or board games. Kids will love it up there...it feels like their own private hideout.
Watch a movie from all 3 levels, sip your coffee on the outside balcony, watch the stars appear from our deck, roast some marshmallows at our fire pit, toast the win at the eat-in kitchen, warm your toes by the fireplace or build a snowman in our front oyard! Play some yard games like corn hole or ladder ball or challenge the kids to a game of knockout on our basketball hoop.
Guest Access Guests have access to the whole property-excluding the owners closet and the storage shed.

Due to a sudden snow storm the day of my trip, I was not able to make my stay. The host was incredibly helpful and worked with me to sort out a refund. I recommend this host very highly!
Great communication with host! The house worked out well for the 7 people in the group and was extremely convenient for the nearby ski resorts. The thermostat was tricky to adjust and the furnace bangs after shutting off, neither of which impacted the stay. A few beds only accessibly by spiral stairs and ladder just to be aware of. Nice place - would definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Wendy
We are a small family from Ohio who have always loved visiting Ellicottville, either by ourselves or with friends. We are excited to share our unique home with your family and friends to enjoy all that the area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose the Swiss Miss because we wanted to be in a quiet setting with a yard for our family & dog, but also wanted to be super close to skiing/snowboarding, tubing, hiking, dining, shopping and more.
What makes this property unique
We have stayed at so many properties over the years in Ellicottville, and the Swiss Miss is unique to anywhere we have been. We have our own outdoor space to hang out, shoot hoops, & have a campfire in the summer, and enough space inside to be cozy but not cramped. There's plenty of space for all our ski/snowboard gear. Our kids especially love hanging out in the loft and bunkroom.
