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!!

This adorable cabin was the perfect location for a weekend getaway in the mountains! It was cozy, quiet, and the view was absolutely beautiful in the fall. The cabin is tucked far enough away in the forest to truly feel at peace in nature, yet still only a short drive to several little towns with many things to do. Our only issue was that the bed in the loft was very uncomfortable. We actually ended up sleeping on the couch the second night because it was more comfortable than the bed. Otherwise it was a great stay!

This property and the cabin were an ideal place to relax and enjoy nature. We slept well and enjoyed coffee on the porch in the mornings. Big bonus for me were all the different birds I heard and saw, including a flock of cedar waxwings that kept us entertained for 2 days, constantly swooping over the pond to catch tiny insects. A pair of barred owls were heard having a chat one night as well. We enjoyed dinners in Ellicottville with live music and great food/service at the Gin Mill. We took day trips to Chatauqua Lake and to Niagara Falls (do the Maid of the Mist boat ride! It is amazing). I am now a fan of this lovely area in Western NY and hope to return.

An Enchanting Escape into Simpler TimesThis little cabin near Ellicottville is pure magic. It feels as though it was built from the forest itself — every timber, porch post, and antique detail breathing the quiet soul of the surrounding woods. The views of the Appalachian foothills are stunning, and the atmosphere is calm in a way you almost forget exists anymore.The porch is a dream — especially the cushioned wooden swing overlooking the pond. It became our favorite reading spot. Down by the water, there’s a cozy fire pit where my kids and I made s’mores under the stars. The interior is just as special: a charming spiral staircase, worn wood in all the right ways, eclectic Adirondack-style decor, and vintage touches (like metal tins and a coo coo clock) that give it a warm, nostalgic feel.Every nook invites relaxation — whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the porch or curling into a deep couch after sunset. The silence of the surrounding woods is unforgettable. It felt like stepping into a movie or a memory — something beautifully still and wholesome.Highly recommend for anyone looking to truly unwind and experience a bit of rustic magic.

If you're looking for an immaculate cabin in a beautiful, rural, private and tranquil setting, look no further! This cabin is amazing and the owner, Bette, could not have been more accommodating. My only word of caution is if you are an over-packer like I am, maneuvering a heavy suitcase up that spiral staircase is a bit of a challenge, but if you pack sensibly, you'll be fine. Thank you, Bette, for providing such an amazing setting for a memorable weekend in Ellicottville!

Shangri-la

Amazing little cabin nestled in the woods. Everything you need is provided by the accommodating host. Sitting on the porch overlooking the private stocked pond is as peaceful as it gets. Thousands of acres of State Forest land nearby to explore. We will return as 3 days / 2 nights was not enough.

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!
