Holiday Valley Resort - ELLICOTTVILLE

We stayed here and attended a family wedding celebration throughout a long weekend. The location and surrounding area are mountainous and beautiful. The quaint and nostalgic town of Ellicotville has lots of breweries, restaurants, nightlife and shops. We discovered some great new delicacies like the Beef on Weck sandwich, close to Buffalo wings and Sponge Candy. We had some small issues with the room on check in but the situation was handled very well by the front desk manager Shawn and his staff! We played a visually amazing round of golf on the mountain side on Sunday afternoon and witnessed a spectacular display of fireworks above the Yodeler Lodge where the wedding was held! We even had a chance to visit the Canadian side of Niagra Falls, just over an hour away. Overall a wonderful experience had by all at a beautiful resort in the Appalachian Mountains!

Great place to ski visit! Extensive trail layout! It's such a big place for Western New York! We had a large group that had a great time! The staff was always friendly helpful.

Such a fun place. Lots of trails. Large variety of difficulty levels from green to black diamonds. All the lodge locations were clean, food at lodges was pretty good.

DISCLAIMER: This review is based only on the experience of visiting during fall fest not on anything to do with the typical ski season. This is a beautiful area and probably a truly lovely place to ski but this for me was the most disappointing part of fall fest. It was mostly beer tents and extremely overpriced food. 7 dollars per a person to ride on the ski lift. Insane lines to get down the mountain on the ski lift. On top of the mountain was only more food and beer and a crappy band. Don't waste your time at the cafe past breakfast they only have one customizable sandwich and avoid John Harvard's like the plague. The resort was beautiful and seemed to be in amazing upkeep however it was not impress to me during fall fest.

First time visiting this ski destination resort and pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of ski runs and base lodges (3). A family friendly atmosphere that appeals to all skiing level’s including tree skiing, but watch out for exposed stumps ? We stayed at resort- managed condos less than 5 minutes away with easy check in and close to town.The ratings would be higher if the resort could communicate parking lot spaces, operating lifts and runs status, otherwise good value for the money
