The Tamarack Club

A Great place A nice well kept resort. We enjoyed the resort very much. The town was very nice. We went to the Adventure Park and it was a real workout for my wife and I but the grandkids loved it.

Tamarack club, Ellicottville We love our stay at Tamarack Club. It is ski resort and we went in Spring. we have quiet days walking the street of Ellicottville. we spend our free time at Nannen Aboreturm where we can catch and release without a fishing licence. we are from Canada. oteher times, we drive half hour from ellicottvilee to visit places at Bradford, Springville and Olean. it was a gret time for us.

Relaxing atmosphere Visited last September 2023, & May 2024 .... intend to visit again. Fall & Spring were both lovely seasons.

Disappointing I was very excited to finally exchange into the Tamarack Club through RCI. We love to ski at Holiday Valley which is a slope-side resort. The location can't be beat, walk out the back door and in a few steps you are at the lift. There is a ski valet where you have to leave skis and poles, but it is well staffed and easy to use. The indoor/outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub were clean and warm/hot. There is a great view of the slopes from both. Check-in was easy and the staff were very pleasant and accomodating. The resort is very clean and maintained, but everything is looking a little old and worn. Our studio unit was spacious, with a full kitchen and a lovely gas fireplace. We had a view of Holiday Valley from our balcony. There was a complimentary bottle of local wine, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the bed in our unit was very uncomfortable. There was a huge sag in the middle and my husband and I spent the night trying not to roll into/ on top of each other. Neither of us slept well while we were there and we even left a few days early because of this. In my opinion, the bed in any accommodation is the most important thing and this one was terrible. The furniture was also very worn and not super comfortable, but I could have put up with this if the bed was better. All told, this resort has great bones and an awesome location but it is in desperate need of a furniture upgrade.

Poorly managed, bad experiences We’ve been guests for several years and many friends are owners. The current management of the facility is failing miserably. The planned renovation is years behind schedule. The facilities are worn and tired. There’s always something breaking. One week it’s the hot tubs, next week it’s the elevator…… They are also short staffed in hotel operations. Other ski resorts know how to properly staff for seasonal guests…….. today there’s not enough housekeeping staff to turn rooms and do pool towels…….. Finally, the restaurant is now subbed out to Sodexo. They can’t hire/keep enough employees as well. On the busiest ski weekend of the year, they could only serve half their tables for lack of staff. 6 tables sat empty all day and evening. It’s sad because this facility is a gem and has tons of potential, just under the right management. BTW, the ski/snow operations team is top notch and nothing like the lodging side of the company.
