The Jefferson Inn

2005 "New York Inn of Distinction" award from New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association.

The serenity of a small town in the Enchanted Mountains of Western New York is captured at The Jefferson Inn, a perfect refuge for memorable moments. Located quietly away from the highway and centrally behind Ellicottville's Town Hall, the Inn is within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries.

Built around 1835, the inn has maintained its timeless features, now coupled with modern amenities. Relax in the elegant living room around the inviting fireplace in the evenings or curl up with a good book in the privacy of your own room. Four tastefully decorated bedrooms and one luxury suite invite you to experience both comfort and convenience during your stay. Enjoy the amenities of a private bath, central air conditioning, and a private telephone in each room. Inn guests also have the opportunity to use the television lounge during their stay, as well as the outdoor hot tub after a day of rigorous activity.

Two efficiency suites are located at the side of the Inn, overlooking the garden. These units are ideal for guests requiring additional privacy or for those travelling with young children and pets. Both have private baths with showers, sitting areas, kitchenettes, televisions, and telephones. You can enter these units privately from the Inn's covered porch.

Special ski packages can be obtained during the ski season which include accommodations, breakfast, lunch, and lift tickets for local ski resorts. You can also create a custom golf getaway at several nearby courses. Spend a day visiting the Amish country, or take a picnic lunch to Allegany State Park. The Jefferson Inn is also close to the Nannen Arboretum, the B&B Buffalo Ranch, Chautauqua Institution, and a host of museums and antique shops. This Ellicottville getaway is also an ideal setting for an intimate reception, party, or meeting.
