We really appreciated the cleanliness and thoughtful touches of this home! The location was also excellent and made for very easy walking. Despite the drizzly weather, we felt cozy and took advantage of the fireplace and the backyard fire pit. We would stay again!
The property/house is lovely, clean and comfortable. Walking distance to main shops/bars/restaurants. Tony and Michelle extremely responsive to any questions or requests! Thanks for a great experience!
Great house, very clean and perfect location! Outdoor movie and fire were a big plus. Indoor games kept everyone busy on a rainy day. Highly recommend!
Spectacular! Clean, bright, roomy and nicely appointed. Location could not be better! Everything is right there! Great communications withe host. Can't wait to return here!
Great place to stay when going to a Bills game or skiing. Close enough to be convenient for the game and staying in a small village with great shops, restaurants and bars. Great location, can walk to all the shops and restaurants.
House was charming, hosts were proactive in their communication and check-in was a breeze. The house is located in a perfect spot to walk anywhere downtown with the lifts only a quick 2min drive away.
We stayed for a long weekend to attend a family gathering in Allegany with four kids ages 5-10 and 5 adults. The kids had fun with all the games, the backyard and the firepit. It was great being right downtown and able to walk to anything. Spent a day at Sky High Adventures which was all of a five minute drive. Everything we needed was stocked and the host was very responsive. Highly recommend this property!
What an unbelievable stay! The house is right in town; big entertainment space and clean. Clean, clean!
Great property and mgmt! The owners were so nice and truly cared about our stay and enjoying their property!!
In town and steps away from EVL fun!
This was a reunion of old friends many years in the making. Ellicottville is a place many of us have visited but never as a group. Location was key to this group and the Chair Lift Lodge hit the mark. Prime location, every amenity we could need and plenty of space. Tony made the time leading up to our stay seamless and was quick to respond throughout. This house is on wish list for when the snow start falling.

Chairlift Lodge was a wonderful get away for myself and 6 girlfriends. The house was very clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the a/c units really came in handy in August! There's also plenty of seating outdoors including a fire pit that we thoroughly enjoyed! The real appeal of this house is the location! It's right in town so it's a very short walk to the restaurants, shops, and grocery store. We stayed on a busy weekend (Taste of EVL) and I was slightly worried that the noise from town would be heard at the house, but not at all! It was very quiet. Overall, I'd highly recommend this house for an adult getaway!
