Riverbend Retreat - 8 minutes to skiing or town!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay! The game room and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids.

The house is beautiful and the location is 10 mins from the Holiday Valley ski resort. However, several basic issues affected our stay and should have been handled before arrival.The grill was not clean, and the hot tub was not ready. There was sand in it and the water was not hot. We sent them a message, they came and fixed it. Although it was fixed the next day, we lost nearly half of our short stay. Guests do not want technicians coming during their stay for issues that should be checked beforehand.There were also small but frustrating details: flickering bathroom lights, dead batteries in candles and the fireplace remote, no shower essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), and some kitchen glasses that were clearly not clean. I bought them and left them there so that the next guests don't struggle to take shower because of 10 shampoo. When we shared these concerns, we were told we should have requested inspections during our stay, but guests do not want to spend their limited time managing house complaints or inspections.

We had a wonderful weekend here! The house was exactly like the pictures, cozy, and comfortable. We enjoyed our time outside and in the hot tub!

We loved the beautiful river in the backyard with a view of the mountains. We felt nice and warm and cozy in the house, even though the weather did not cooperate and it rained almost all week long. We still found plenty of things to do in the area in between raindrops. The sun peeked out a few brief moments at Allegheny national Park so we got some nice fall color photos. We also enjoyed a visit to Olean's Rock City Park.

We had a wonderful time in ellicottville. Everything from the check in to check out was simple and smooth. Home is in a beautiful setting and well stocked with any and all necessities!!! Will definitely book again if we come back up!
