Best location! Large home with fire pit just steps to downtown Ellicottville

Welcome to The Purple Palace, an early 1800's Victorian home situated in picturesque Ellicottville, a charming town just 51 miles south of Buffalo, New York. Ellicottville was voted the Best Ski Resort Town between New England and the Rockies by Ski Magazine.

Location, Location, Location...This home is the closest rental property to the downtown four corners (Washington and Jefferson). It is the perfect place for your ski or golf vacation, bachelor/bachlorette party or family reunion.

Just a few steps to downtown and less than 1 mile to both Holiday Valley Ski and Golf resort and Holimont ski resort. This stately Victorian home is set amidst an enclave of mature trees. It has recently upgraded appliances along with Wi-Fi and AC throughout the home.

It is in a fabulous winter/summer resort town. After skiing all day, take a break and get to know the village's shops, many fine restaurants, and cultural centers. Relax on the deck and watch the cars go by or go for a short stroll and walk the streets of downtown Ellicottville. Enjoy having a pint at the 'Gin Mill', off to 'Tip's Up' for dinner and then of course go dancing the night away at 'Balloons'. Experience the charm and unhurried lifestyle of Ellicottville any time of year. The area is renowned for its hiking and there are many miles of mountain bike trails.

Guests that rent the Purple Palace have the main portion of the large Victorian home. Sleeping accommodations for 27 guests, full kitchen open to large dining area, 2 living rooms, games room with ping pong, big screen TV, large outdoor covered deck and 3 full and 2 half bathrooms. It is a lot of home to enjoy. If your group is larger than 27 guests please let me know and I can open it up to suit an additional 10 guests with the added 3rd floor loft at an additional cost (please inquire).

Friends ski trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Purple Palace for our annual ski trip with our friends! The house worked wonderfully for our group of 5 families. It's great space with a lot of amenities and an amazing location. We really enjoyed all the eclectic decor and even made a scavenger hunt out of them for the kids to find. In addition, the game room was a big hit among our entire group and we even had a dance party in the nice open space between there and the living room. We appreciated the wonderful shower pressure in the bathroom off the kitchen which felt so great after a full day of skiing. We would definitely rent again!

Gorgeous house with a lot of character and fantastic location
Loved the house and location. The house is massive and packed with character. The distance to the village of Ellicottville cannot be beat. We will pencil it in for a future stay. Two of the bedrooms were very current and modern with one being very accessible (no stairs). The only drawback was that one of the bedrooms did not have a real wall and you had to walk through to get downstairs. Overall loved the house.
