Charming Log Cabin on Private Pond Nestled in Woods Near Holiday Valley Resort

My charming log cabin sits on 100 acres of private land which adjoins 2200 of New York State Forest. It overlooks a small pond that is stocked with bass. You are welcome to catch a few and cook them fresh on the gas grill. The front porch is comfortable with beautiful views of the pond, hills, and the valley below.

It is a cozy cabin with a sleeping loft and comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a shower. The loft has a queen size bed and the first floor has a double futon.

The sleeping loft is reached via a narrow metal spiral staircase.

Bring your bicycles in the summer or your cross-country skis or snowshoes in the winter or your hiking boots year round, as the state forest is full of groomed trails. Or bring your books and just relax and enjoy your surroundings.

There is a fire pit for cool evenings or just to enjoy while relaxing.

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. Take advantage of all that this enchanting area has to offer. I have some of the highlights listed below.

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

A peaceful escape

It really gives the feel of being out in the woods but still having modern comforts. Close to nature and away from a bustling city. Just down the road is Ellicottville and all it has to offer, but you always have the porch with a good view to go back to.

Can’t wait to return!

What an amazing property. One of the quietest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The pond had tons of Bass. The property was very clean and neat. The home had everything you needed for a relaxing stay.My wife, my 17-year-old twin daughters and myself stayed for five days and had an amazing time. We will definitely return in the fall to see the leaves change colors. Part of our trip we drove up to Niagara Falls and had an amazing time, this property is only about an hour and 20 minutes from there so it’s an easy day trip. The town of Ellicottville is only about 8 miles away and has a bunch of really neat shops and great restaurants. It also has a small grocery store and gas station so you can get everything you need for your stay. We spent most of our time on the front porch, I could’ve lived out there for days. One of the most relaxing vacations I’ve had in recent memory.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was our first getaway with out the kids. Even with the rain it was perfect. We sat on the front porch in the morning enjoying the view, the rain added even more relaxation. The host was amazing especially when we got a little lost on our way in! The cabin is about 20 mins from most things which was super convenient. We would definitely stay again and make it a longer trip next time!

Beautiful cabin in the woods.

My wife and I stayed for a ski weekend. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout our stay. Property is in a beautiful, quiet location and has everything you need for your stay. The weather was very cold during our stay so the cabin was on the cool side but sleeping loft was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Winter Stay at the Cabin

We stayed here the weekend of Feb 21 to Feb 24 2025 for a winter weekend getaway and could not be happier with our stay. From the very beginning our host was gracious and answered all questions quickly and accurately. Check-in was a breeze. The property is beautiful and very private. The views are beautiful and I can imagine sitting on the porch by the pond with a campfire in the summer. We came right after a huge snowstorm, and the host coordinated with us as to our arrival time so that the driveway would be freshly plowed for our arrival. A four wheel drive vehicle would be a good idea in the winter, but probably not absolutely needed.It is a short drive to Ellicotville and Holiday Valley. There is a big state park minutes away on the same road, and we took a long snowshoe walk on a logging road that is used by snowmobilers. Our dog was up to his shoulders in snow at times because of how much snow there was, but he loved every minute of it.The cabin is cozy and comfortable, and has pretty much everything you need. The bed is very comfortable and we slept very soundly after our days of activity and the dark woodsy surroundings. We loved the winter stay, and I imagine a summer stay would be even more fun. Reading through the review book in the cabin, people have been coming here for years, and everyone seems to love it.I am not using the host's name because I don't know if we are supposed to, but I haven't met a friendlier, honest, and trustworthy host.

Quiet and cozy!

The cabin had everything you could need for a cozy and quiet stay in the woods in winter. The host was great and even helped us out when we ran into some car trouble. My dogs loved running around in the snow. I definitely want to vacation back for when I need some quiet time.

Beautiful cabin and weekend!

We have stayed at many rentals, and this is by far our favorite! We discovered it during Covid and we keep going back. It was so special and so comfortable and we find new things to do in every season. Bette is the kindest host ever and her helpers are excellent as well. We had a beautiful snowy weekend and she made sure we were safe and plowed out. She is always making improvements to this beautiful place and sometimes we even miss the days that WIFI was spotty lol. It is cabin perfection and we are forever grateful. Our son and wife came along who also spent their honeymoon here, and soon we will bring our first grandchild too.Thank you Bette! Thanks Willie for plowing us in and out too!

A very unique property

Close enough to Ellicottville, NY ( 15 mins) to drive in for lunch and at the same time - worlds away from civilization. This cabin is quiet and rustic, but has every needed amenity. The property is also located next to a large State Forrest with several trail heads just a few minutes drive away. This was my 5th stay at this property and I will be back in the very near future.

Cozy and private with a great view

The cabin is rustic and secluded. Yet, it offers the convenience and comfort of most amenities. My family (including our pup) enjoyed fishing in the pond, relaxing around the campfire, and hiking in the woods. The host was very responsive and helpful when contacted. We would love to stay here again.
