About this property

Lovely Cottage That Is Completely New With All The Luxuries You Would Want!

This lovely cottage, Golden Glen, is a gem for relaxation and quiet in a perfect setting of serenity. It sets on the edge of 2200 acres of NY State Forest and lush woods. The back looks over a ravine with a stream, complete with a small waterfall. The inside is deluxe with a beautiful living area and fully equipped kitchen, 2 comfortable bedrooms decorated beautifully and all of the amenities of home. The living room is all part of the great room which includes the kitchen and dining area. There is a large gas stone fireplace for cozy evenings. The stones were all collected from the stream and surrounding woods.
The bathrooms are spacious and feature walk in tiled showers. Then there are the amazing porches!! The favorite spot of everyone is the screened in porch that runs the entire length of the back of the cottage. It is comfortable and the setting is completely surrounded by nature. There is even a hawk that has made her nest in the top of a tree near the house!! She has been there for a couple of years. There is a deck off of the upstairs bedroom that is a great place to star gaze on a warm night. The washer and dryer completes the efforts of the owner to make this a true home away from home.

Golden Glen is only 15 minutes from the quaint ski town of Ellicottville, NY. The town has great restaurants and small shops and Holiday Valley Ski Resort offers year round activities. From skiing and winter activities to summer golf and zip lining for the more adventurous.
Bring your bicycles in the summer or your cross country skis or snowshoes in the winter or your hiking boots year round, as the stare forest is full of groomed trails. Or bring your books and just relax and enjoy your surroundings.

We are only 12 minutes from Ellicottville, New York which is a quaint little ski and resort town. You can ski in the winter or golf in the summer. There are world class restaurants for fine dining and wonderful shopping.

It is the perfect place for solitude or a romantic getaway. I hope you will come and enjoy this special place on Golden Hill!!

Golden Glen is pet friendly. Just check the Pet Fee box when you book this amazing cottage in a magical setting!!

Great quiet getaway

Bette was such a great host and allowed us to change our reservation due to a family situation. The cabin was classy and stylish but sooooo quiet and wirh nothing but nature around. The back porch was great for reading and the upstairs deck had the best stargazing. We loved and needed the getaway! Highly recommend!

Peace and quiet

We loved staying here! The house was great and we thoroughly enjoyed being a bit removed from the usual noise of town living. Yet it is still close enough to town to do things easily. A great place to unwind and unplug!

Great Get Away for young and old!

We chose Great Valley since it was an in between for our destinations. The check in was easy, our stay was uninterrupted and the creek was a favorite for my kids. Bette was even kind enough to let us check out late and enjoy the property just a bit longer. Even though we didn’t have cell service, the wifi was strong and we enjoyed being in the forest! If you love nature, this is the perfect home!

2nd time visiting

Just as beautiful as the first time. So peaceful and quiet. The kids loved making s’mores around the fire. Mom and Dad enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch every morning. Bette is a gracious host and very easy to work with. Even on rainy days, there was high speed internet for the kids to stream their shows on. Will absolutely come back.

Relaxing!!

We are 2 people that constantly work at something. The only way to relax and not look around and see more work all over the place is to get away. This cottage was perfect to forget it all. Charming, fully stocked, private and quiet. We had planned to go into town but the breeze on the porch was to tough to leave. Internet worked fine but no cell reception( only texting) which was also fine . The porch furniture was not so comfortable but the atmosphere made up for it. This is absolutely a place to recharge, refresh and relax.

Very nice house - very secluded, Muddy yard

The house was very nice and the pictures provided accurately reflected the house. It was clean. It is very secluded and any phone calls had to be completed using wi-fi calling. The wi-fi did work well. We felt the the upstairs bed sort of sagged in the middle. Downstairs bed was fine. I had a hard time finding the dishes and glasses (they are stored under the steps). We we found to be unacceptable was that the yard was a mud pit. You had to walk through significant mud to get to the house and there was no way around it. My husband had a boot on after having foot surgery and it was very difficult for him maneuvering through the mud. We actually resorted to putting plastic bags over our shoes to walk to and from the car. There needs to be some sort sidewalk installed or significant amount of gravel spread to make this workable. I would not stay here again unless this was fixed.

We had a great couple night stay that was very relaxing in a last minute booking for a birthday. Host was good with communication and check-in and check-out were very easy.The home is nice and secluded and very clean. We especially enjoyed the back screened-in porch where you can enjoy a chorus of bird song from the ravine. Of special note we had fox and Barred Owl calling at night. The beds, and really all the furniture, were very comfortable. We brought a meal to cook in one night and had adequate cookware to do so. We will definitely be back as we loved the area as well.

Great to be back again

We had another wonderful stay at the cottage and truly appreciate the peaceful atmosphere both inside and out. The space had everything we needed to stay comfortable and cozy, especially with the weather in the teens, including great internal temperature, fireplace and bedding. The snowfall made it even more magical! Can't wait to return again. Thank you so much!

Quiet gem

The cottage was everything we had hoped it would be, and more! It’s even better than the pictures! It was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the fireplace was fantastic on a 10 below zero morning! Two bedrooms in different parts of the house made it ideal for two couples. We would definitely stay there again!

This was such a peaceful and comfortable place to stay for family weekend getaway. Close enough to the restaurants and activities in Ellicottville, yet far enough to check out for awhile in beautiful surroundings, both inside and outside the cabin.

Comfort abounds!

Absolutely delightful! This charming cottage is a hidden gem, perfectly secluded yet incredibly inviting. Nestled off the beaten path, it offers a serene escape and cozy, elegant decor. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the well-stocked kitchen (utensils & crockery) to the comfortable furnishings. The peaceful surroundings and the gentle sounds of nature (softly running creek sounds and birds) create an idyllic retreat especially for a writer that doesn’t want distractions. If you're looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

The house is comfortable and inviting, even prettier than the pictures, and perfectly tucked away in a spot that felt secluded yet near Ellicottville et al. It was a wonderful week of relaxing on the screened in porch and soaking up the sun on the roof deck. Looking forward to returning!

A peaceful getaway

It was so peaceful and relaxing at this cottage. We enjoyed star gazing from the roof top deck , and taking naps on the screened in porch . The cottage was very clean and completely rebuilt based on the before and after photos we saw at the cottage - very impressive. The towns of Cuba, Olean and Ellicottville were a quick drive away and fun to visit . Highly recommend.

A slice of paradise

I had to be in the Ellicotville area for work and we found this cute cabin to stay through VRBO. We couldn't have imagined how amazing this cabin would be. The communication with the owners was easy. Both Madeline and Bette were very helpful and polite. The view from the screened in porch into the state forest is so relaxing. The interior of the cabin is beautiful and about as relaxing as the porch. We couldn't decide whether to sit inside or outside. The location is close to town yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. My family and I thank you for letting us stay at your facility. Truly a slice of paradise.
