First of all very deceiving from the outside looks very simple but nice. Once inside all I could think was WOW.

This is the best Bed & Breakfast I've ever stayed at. The rooms are good size and clean. The house is beautiful with a large fireplace in the gathering room. Barb, the cook, was so friendly and conversational and prepared a delicious breakfast. The whole place is warm and inviting and owner Linda and her dogs are truly exceptional hosts.... More

We wanted to have one last winter outing but didn't want to travel to the Adirondacks. We found this gem in Ellicottville. Situated on 85 wooded acres, this B&B was just what we were looking for. Beautifully decorated, immaculate and quite, all rooms have a private bath and fireplace. We were able to snowshoe on the property as well as... More
