My husband and I stayed for our 5 year anniversary on Columbus Day weekend Friday-Monday. It was the perfect amount of time.
This place was MORE than it seemed on the site. Magical, simple and serene. I always love to be by water but looking out onto the 150 acres, hearing the birds and waking up on the front porch was everything. No lakeside needed.
You know when a place is so great you want to keep it all to yourself? Well, I certainly fought myself to list all these things. :)
A few things
• At night, we’d lay in the grass with binoculars and watch the deer in the field
• In the morning, sometimes we’d get a peak at the wild turkeys coming up to the house
• We would sit on the front porch in THESE GREAT CHAIRS (Tim- where can we buy the tall chairs and tables?!) and just look over the field on a beautiful hill
• As I said, the house sits on this gorgeous hill. The fall leaves were perfect.
• We walked down to the creek. It should be called a private beach / river
• There are horses on the property. Beautiful and friendly
• There’s a Wegmans 25 minutes away
• There’s Ellicottville Brewery by the water and 15 minutes away. It was so good we went twice for food.
• Amazing ice cream 25 minutes away
•Lastly, you MUST GO TO THE ROCK PARK. It sounded boring to me at first but my husband insisted. And I’m glad. It was one of the highlights. It’s like Lord of the Rings meets Game of Thrones meets Avatar. Such a magical place. Trust us on this.
We’ve stayed at at least 20 vacation rentals- local and international. I only say that (not to sound haughty) but to say this in our top two or three. It really was such a good choice in the end.
Lastly, my favorite part about this all is that it was simple. You had what you needed, nothing was complicated.
We are coming back. And next time, hopefully with a baby! ❤️
Thanks, Tim.
