Modern cottage located in 250 private acres Pond Fishing Hiking Fire Pit

Lovely 2 bed/2bath cottage in the midst of 250 private acres to enjoy. New pond in April of 2022. Whether it’s the privacy alone or the wish to experience nature to its fullest in all seasons , this tranquil setting will entice you to relax and forget about the pressures of life in these times. Located on a small creek that feeds into a designated wet land, nature abounds. Perfect for birders or an energetic hike, the graceful rolling hills of these Enchanted Mountains will refresh and inspire. Many maintained trails both in the open grasslands and the managed woods. Snowshoe or cross country ski in winter, partake of the native fruits including apples, blueberries, blackberries, rhubarb and more in summer. Just 6 miles from the city of Olean and all its various restaurants and shopping or St. Bonaventure University. Ellicottville with its excellent ski resorts and night life are just a scant 12 miles away A well stocked kitchen with all the amenities is a cooks delight. Enjoy the Weber grill or the fire pit in the back yard while you listen to the birds serenade. A special treat is the summertime fireflies by the thousands. They still thrill me after 34 years on the property! A large deck on the back of the house has an array of furniture to while away a peaceful couple of days or weeks. Leave the “ rat race” behind, you deserve it! New pond in adjacent field completed last year has greened up with mowed lawn and stocked with fish this April more coming the end of May. Come and enjoy!!

Honeymoon Stay

Stayed here as part of our honeymoon. The property was even nicer in person than online. We loved the rural location, trails, and the sounds of the stream and outdoors. We're thinking of coming back again sometime!

We stayed here in early April 2025. This is the best Vrbo we have stayed in. The cabin is perfect for me, my adult son, & our fur baby. All the little details in the cabin & on the property did not go unnoticed! We love the artistic touches! This was exactly the unplugging that we needed & we have already booked our next stay here. Thanks for everything David & Chad

Relaxing getaway

What a beautiful place both inside and out. We really enjoyed the bird songs in the morning/evening and starfilled skies at night. Like your own little slice of a woodland fairytale but with all the modern convenience. Perfect distance from shops and food. Made a trip to Bradford for the case/zippo muesem, had a fabulous dinner at The Eatery in Olean. Great place and hoping to come back soon.

Amazing!

The house was amazing! Upon arrival The inside was spotless, immaculate cleanliness. The hiking trails on the property were a lot of fun and an added bonus. The back deck was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast along with relaxing on in the evening. We rented for my wife's 40th birthday get away and this place did not disappoint, it was amazing. The mattress for the bed was firm however the linens and bed sheets were top quality and spotless. We look forward to coming back and renting this property again in the future. We highly recommend this property it was perfect!

wonderful fall weekend

This was perfect - up to date and clean, spacious and comfortable, and very well appointed. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the beautiful surroundings and hiked a few of the well marked trails on the large property. We were close enough to spend time in areas such as Olean, Portville, and Ellicottville and take in the beauty of the rolling hills. I would highly recommend this as a great place if you want to get away from it all and enjoy nature yet without roughing it. Thank you!

Great secluded getaway for a family of 4

We found David's place when looking for a secluded place to get away for a few days and visit some state parks. We found it both perfectly secluded and peaceful, but also close enough to get to the parks, or food, or even the breweries in Elicotville. The property is very nice and the house itself is very cute, well maintained, and incredibly well stocked with everything one could need. David was quick and thorough to respond to any question we had, but even those were few because he does an excellent job of giving visitors the information they need up front. We would definitely visit again!

Spectacular

David’s property was clean, charming and just wonderful. I was expecting a cabin and walked into the most charming cottage. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the Hinsdale area, look no further. I stayed for my daughter’s wedding that was in Cuba so did not get to enjoy the many walking paths he had for us to enjoy. I’m already looking forward to booking a weekend in the winter for some snow shoeing. Just a fantastic getaway. Cannot say enough about it. Thank you David. It was wonderful.

Perfect

We were looking for a short weekend getaway not far from home and this listing caught my eye, booking was seamless, we went to ellicottvile first to zip line and have dinner, how was a little wonky some service was spotty, but once we corrected our navigation and found the cottage everything was even better than anticipated, Everything was spotless, no funky smells even though it is a pet friendly rental, you would never know it. It is so comfortable and tastefully decorated, you feel relaxed, but pampered. the property is spectacular you could literally hike for hours, it is so quiet you really feel like you are away from the stresses of everyday life. Usually on our last mornings at a rental we are ready to leave early, not here we locked the door at 11 and can't wait to go back

Peaceful stay at a lovely cottage

Quiet, only nature sounds when on trails and near house. Pretty private, beautiful scenery, hiking & fishing. Stargazing is incredible here, LOOK UP! My girlfriend and I stayed at David’s cottage to unplug and unwind for our anniversary. While we found ourselves using the tv as Penn state disappointed us against OSU, that was the only disappointment during the wonderful weekend we had. The immediate back yard had a great view of the hillside. The house was well stocked for our long weekend, David is pretty thoughtful as a host! Great kitchen and nice grill set up with lots of prep space. Our only heads up for booking: ticks! Bring a pet safe tick kill spray and a fine comb (cheap, effective) or Walmart had many in Olean (15 min away). 100/10 will check to come back during ski season

Great getaway spot

Well appointed 2-BR converted barn in quiet spot. Setting is in the rolling hills of the Magic Mountains, a 10 minute drive from Olean and 25 minutes from the ski town of Ellicottville and about as close to the Allegheny State Park, The place is well thought out and equipped but perhaps a bit farther from town than we are used to. Still, the drives were pretty reasonable. The real selling point is that not only is it quiet but also has its own substantial hiking trails on the property, cutting through some tall grass uphill and into the woods. We did these a couple of times. plus the lower flatter walks and it added a lot to our enjoyment. If I have one criticism it is that as a six footer, a full bed (both beds are full or what we in Canada call a double) is a bit small for me. Otherwise, everything about the place lived up to its billing.

So relaxing

The property was beautiful. Great outdoor space with a fire pit, Weber grill, and spacious deck. Full, functional kitchen. It may sound odd to mention functionality, but if you have used rentals before, you appreciate a kitchen with up to date appliances and cookware. The beds were comfortable and the towels were soft. It is the best experience I have had with a VRBO stay. I would love to visit again.

Zen at its finest

1) Host David has gone above and beyond to make your stay comfortable . Easy instructions to follow 2) This property is the cleanest I have ever rented, and I camp alot with Vbro.com 3) When you enter the cottage, its very swanky and well decorated. It has high end appliances/fixtures and bathrooms are better then most 5 star hotels 4) Olean is a short drive for provisions, but David has got you covered. The kitchen is well stocked, you could easily cook for a group5) Absolutely peaceful and serene. The pond has some HUGE Fish in there, I caught every day I fished, saw some in the pond 14 "to 16" easily "Lunkers"

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was beautiful, well stocked, and very clean. The owner was available to us. The pond is stocked well and the grounds were beautiful. The cottage does sit on a street that is frequently used by neighbors, so we had to watch our pups a lot. The pond was up the street and around the corner which was inconvenient. Overall, it was a beautiful spot to stay! Thank you.

Peaceful Stay

We were in town for a family reunion. We normally stay in Olean NY and decided to try a new location. I was worried that Hinsdale would be too far out. We were pleasantly surprised how close it was to Olean NY. We enjoyed the views and quaintness the cottage offered. We’re definitely considering coming back for the next family reunion. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and wildlife at the cottage!
