Paradise Found best describes the Alpine Wilderness Lodge. What we enjoy most about the cabin is relaxing on the 60-foot deck that overlooks the pond at the end of a wonderful day! We take time to reflect on the nature hiking trails we explored and the wildlife we encountered on our adventurous walks during the day. But what keeps us coming back to the cabin is the beautiful views surrounding the property, just a reminder of our Creator in all His majesty. Enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine as you unwind.

With the option to catch dinner in town (Ellicottville) or just hang out and enjoy a BBQ, we never tire of the fresh air and plenty of sunshine as we enjoy a late dinner setting on the deck once again. Time seems to stand still at the Lodge as wonderful memories are made, memories that last a lifetime. Some of our guests have returned for their 15th year and are now bringing back the second generation of their family with them.

The Lodge is truly a place to relax and enjoy family and friends. Come stay a while and see what we mean. And don't forget—the night skies are perfect for stargazing!

We had a relaxing weekend. Cooking out, fishing and camp fires are how we enjoyed our time. I'm in a wheelchair and as far as wheelchair friendly I would say that the house is almost perfect with plenty of room. The door threshold could be a little difficult and the hill to the fire required a little help. I will definitely return. Thank you for the great weekend.

Class reunion

The address was confusing because I assume the owner lived at the address on the listing, but "The Lodge" was about 1/4 of a mile down the road from the house address listed. There was also no cell tower available, so you could only text with the WIFI. However, the Lodge was remote, VERY peaceful and Quiet, large and open and tranquil. It was also away from any kind of traffic or any neighbors.

Seclusion at it’s finest

We had two families spend a week here and enjoyed every minute of it. Plenty of room for 9 people and the pond was big enough to enjoy our kayaks and paddle board. Margie was great to deal with and we will back at some point in the future.

Great Property to get away.

This is the ideal spot to get away from everything (including cell service). There is plenty of yard to play games like cornhole/can jam etc. The cabin had plenty of space for 8 adult men - large main room with 4 couches and tons of outdoor space. We also loved the stove, plenty of burners and a flat top section was great for breakfast.

We really enjoyed the property. We only wish we had more "quality wood" to burn in the fire pit. We used it sparingly due to lack of quality wood. We shall return next year!

Amazing Hide Away!

We had a group of friends and family staying for a ski weekend, and The Lodge was perfect! There was plenty of space to spread out, but also a living room area in front of the fire place that felt super cozy. Comfortable beds, large dining table, plenty of hot water and a fire to warm up after skiing, and a casual feel...couldn't get better any better than that. Make sure to get specific direction for getting in, as the address isn't a pinpoint location, but it's well worth the trip to have such a spacious house and property around it. We are planning to come back over the summer when we can enjoy the outside areas more. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect for relaxing

A secluded spot with plenty to do. The pond was perfect to keep the kids entertained, either fishing, swimming, or jumping off the rope swing. The trails are pretty well maintained and worth the time to walk them. Overall we had an amazing time with friends and family.

Great getaway from everything

We had a great time at the lodge. Its very large and roomy. It rained most of the time unfortunately, but we had board games and all kinds of stuff there too keep us occupied. Ended up being a great time bonding. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed the pond. Didnt try the ropeswing this time, but i will on the next trip. Gas grill came in handy. Great firepit. Overall great time. We will be back

Great Family Get Away

We had a wonderful time at The Lodge. Enjoyed relaxing with family and friends. Having fires indoors and out, walking the property and just overall a nice place to have a family get camp out. My 3 year old grand daughter didn't want to leave and wants to know when we can go back.

Our stay at the lodge was great! We enjoyed the remote and spaciousness of the property. The never ending trails (beautiful,) the huge yard, nice pond, and roomy house fit our family perfectly. We had all ages stay for my step-dads 50th birthday and everyone enjoyed there stay. We especially liked swimming in the pond and hanging around the campfire at night. I would definitely recommend this property - the owners were so nice as well!

Wonderful Getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at this perfect remote location. The cabin was very large and the property was amazing! That pond is so peaceful! A few recommendations to anyone going to visit in the future- bring your own camping chairs to sit around the fire. Other than a picnic table there is no seating. If you have small children, bring nightlights! The cabin is pitch black at night. I also felt that I had a difficult time communicating with the owner. It took a very long time for responses and when it came close to the trip I had no reply from leaving a voicemail asking for a call back. I finally had to call again and Margie was extremely pleasant to speak with. But, there was some very important details about the property that should have been addressed without me having to track the owner down. Like- the actually directions to the cabin - they are a little different from what is listed , how to get inside the place and the WiFi password. The linoleum should really be washed between guests. Also, the dumpster on the property seriously needs to be addressed. It was very full when we showed up and the bears broke in to it WITH the bungee cords still attached and we had placed rocks on top! We had to clean up other guests garbage in the morning and it was very disgusting! Even with any minor issues we would return to this place in a heartbeat! Other than the floors, the cabin was fairly clean! It was very relaxing and we had perfect summer weather to enjoy everything the place had to offer!

Relaxing

The location is very private and peaceful. Although twice neighbors showed up on Atvs, to fish and drop off trash, which threw us off. It was wonderful to listen to the quiet, except when neighbor ran chainsaw for hours. The cabin is big but could be cleaner. Cobwebs, lightbulbs out, floors were dirty upon arrival, screens are ripped, mouse in bedroom. Couches are comfy, table huge, deck amazing. My favorite part was the swing overlooking pond and sound of nearby stream. My kids loved catching newts in pond. My husband loved rocking chairs. Address delivered us to neighbors house which we were not expecting. Wish there was instructions for grill, tv, stove, fireplace. Overall nice stay.

Great for ski get away

Margie was a great host and her description of the property was pretty true. Perfect for large group. Only thing I would note is that there is not a washer/dryer for wet snow clothes. Also there is No WiFi or cell reception at all. You have to get in your car and drive up the road to get service. This was not clearly noted in description.

Fun by the Pond!

We loved our stay for the most part the key was not on the counter as we were told it would be. So couldn't lock up when leaving for outing . And I wasn't impressed with the cleanliness I pulled an extra blanket and pillow from a shelf in bedroom and it was full of mouse poop!🤨 so house cleaning is poor!! Other than that we enjoyed it. Lack of phone service or landline was a problem as we had children who are young and could be injured anytime.

solitude galore

Loved the area, very secluded and peaceful. Great pond with bird watching and serenades by the frogs. The cabin could have been a bit cleaner, cupboards, and stove need a good cleaning, and there was a musty smell that lingered. I could tell there was a lot of history in the place and that gave it charm. The front porch was perfect. It would have been helpful to have a reference binder with info on operating stove safely and how to access cable. There was only one porch light that worked which makes those arriving in the dark for the first time a bit more challenging . Still had a wonderful family time. Great table i kitchen with room for all and then some.
