Nice condo walking distance to EVL
Check in process was smooth and host even provides a detailed summary of recommended bars, entertainment, and dining options. Vicinity to downtown strip and Holiday Valley make this a nice options for those traveling to town.

Too Cozy
Did not realize it was a townhouse from photos as well as the description. DIning area would have better if the over-large elevated island would have been replaced with an actual table that chairs that could slide under. Could not use it. The main sofa in the living area was too low to the ground and sagged. (We are all average size and weight people). The grill was dirty and we did not trust it. THere was no table or seating on the back porch as was indicated in the photos.. Would have been nice to watch the eclipse (we went elsewhere to view the eclipse). THe kitchen was another matter entirely. Way too many dishes, glasses, silverware, pots and pans; where most were dirty or dusty and were just thrown into the cupboards or drawers. I kringed in using any of it or the pans. (I washed some so we could use them). I chose two pans that were not as misused or dirty. The toaster oven was greasy and appeared to not have been cleaned for quite some time (I did try to clean it up so we could use it). THere was no dishwasher detergent either. The towels for the bathrooms and kitchen all had an odd odor and no means to clean them. And lastly, the carpets were filthy with stains and had not been vacuumed for quite some time. Did we enjoy our stay for three nights at the rate we were charged as well as that cleaning fee?? You decide.

Response from VrboOwner on May 20, 2024
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your stay wasn't up to your expectations. In response to the issues you addressed: 1. **Townhouse Confusion**: We apologize for any confusion regarding our listing. We’ll add more neon signs in the photos pointing out the townhouse features—or maybe just take a minute to read the house description listed on the site. Food for thought. 2. **Missing Outdoor Furniture and Unsuitable Indoor Furniture**: The outdoor table is indeed on the back deck and hasn’t moved in two years, it’s not playing hide-and-seek! There are also built-in benches that seat 15+ people on the back deck! As for the couch and dining room furniture, we're sorry it didn't meet your Hollywood standards. We’ll pass your feedback along to our EVL design team. 3. **Kitchen Chaos and Cleanliness Concerns**: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do have a 4.95 rating out of 5 stars rating with 100+ reviews between Vrbo and Airbnb. So who’s wrong, you decide? 4. **Detergent Dilemma**: If something is missing, please reach out to us! For example, the dish detergent pods were under the kitchen sink in a box labeled “dish detergent pods.” Mystery solved, two new boxes of them were placed there right before your stay. We appreciate your colorful critique and are always are taking steps to improve. Should you decide to brave another stay with us, we promise to make it right—or at least give you enough material for a sequel review! For any potential guests reading this very snarky review, we feel if someone is slandering our home with false claims, it’s worth laughing over, instead of getting mad. Please know that if you have an issue, we're always available to help and will address any problems as quickly as possible. With this particular guest, we reached out to them 9 times throughout their booking and stay and didn't get a single response from them until that outrageous review. In all seriousness, our goal is to make our home, your home away from home!

Nice condo convenient to town
Redone space with room to sleep the family. One shower makes it a little challenging if you have a larger group. Nice place, good location, priced well.

Comfortable Ellicotteville townhouse
This Ellicotteville property was perfect for our family of four. We were able to walk to town and had a short drive to Holiday Valley. The unit was clean and beds were comfortable. We were able to make meals in the kitchen and eat at the large table. The family room was comfortable to watch a movie by the electric fireplace. We did not bring our dog but plan to next time we stay here.

Convenient Spot near Holiday Valley
My husband, 3 kids, and myself stayed for 2 nights while we skied at Holiday Valley. Townhouse is as described and met our needs perfectly. Tony was very responsive when I had questions and gave us recommendations on dining and shopping in Ellicottville. Would return!

This condo was perfect for a weekend stay. It’s a short drive or walk to ski and shop.
We were hoping for snow but got rain so it was muddy. The kids were still able to ski and enjoy all that ELV has to offer! Also, it was dog friendly and our grand dog loved it as much as we did.

Great location
Great communication from the owner. Fantastic location for skiing and access to the town for restaurants and shopping. The only complaint, is a little more attention to detail from the cleaning person. The kitchen floor and rugs were dirty. We dropped the dice from our board game under the table and found bottle caps and a toothbrush.

Place was perfect for this family of five. Great location and accommodations. Spoke to the hosts on two occasions and they are just good people. It was clear to us that they genuinely care that their guests have an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be staying here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Perfect accommodation for a girl's getaway weekend
Loved everything about this rental for our girlfriend's weekend away. Location was beautiful and peaceful, but an easy walk into town. We had a couple of beautiful weather days for mid-October and we enjoyed happy hour sitting on the back deck admiring the view. The Nannen Arboretum was a nice surprise within a short walk. The home was very clean and as described in the listing. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Tony was very responsive in answering questions and checking in when we arrived to make sure everything was in order. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Clean and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood
The townhome fit all of our needs. It was clean and comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood. The kitchen was a bit small, but it was fine for us. It was very well stocked. Being so close to the dog park was a great feature since we were traveling with our labrador retriever. He loved it. The hosts, Tony and Jen were very accommodating. Any question that we had was answered immediately. We enjoyed our stay at the EVL Townhome and would stay there again in the future. Thank you Tony and Jen for your hospitality. Rose

Great family friendly condo!
We were in the area for a family wedding and appreciated getting something close to a park so that our kids (and our nephew, who also joined us) were able to have a big place to play. The beds were comfortable and the condo was perfect for all our needs. Thanks again, Tony!

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at this condo very much. Both front and back porch are covered so was shady when the sun was out and we were dry when it rained. Couldn’t be happier with the hospitality of our hosts. We’ll definitely be back!

Bachelorette Party
The property was clean and there was so many beds and places to sleep was the best thing! The location was very close to town and no more than a 20 minute walk. The night life is better than I imagined. The hosts were super quick to respond and so helpful with recommendations on things to do during your stay. Check in and Check out was so easy. I am very happy with our stay this was great for my friends bachelorette party but really for any needs for your trip!

Excellent Stay!
The property was clean, easy to check in, and as described in the listing. Hosts were great, they checked in to make sure everything was good. Kitchen was stocked, towels were out, everything made for an enjoyable stay. The neighborhood felt very safe, and we will definitely be returning. We traveled with 2 toddlers, so we loved that the backyard of the place merged with a playground, soccer field, and tennis court. The grill and the firepit on the property were also family favorites. Location was great as we were able to walk (kids in strollers) to downtown Ellicottville where we enjoyed some ice cream.

Awesome stay!
We had a great time staying at Tony and Jen’s place! The location is phenomenal, our children had a playground to play around the area, and the dogs had a nice dog park to play as well! We were in very close proximity to town, many restaurants, and a supermarket. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to wake up feeling relaxed. We highly recommend Tony & Jen’s place! We can’t wait to go back!

Grrat home away from home
Over all the week we spent here was fun. Great community. The kitchen is a little small but still great. They really dont have any pans and no tongs for the grill. We still enjoyed our stay and those very few things didn't make any differences. Tony was an amazing host couldn't ask for any better. Plan to stay some time in the future.
