Best location! Large home in Ellicottville

Summary:

Welcome to The Purple Palace — an elegant early-1800s Victorian home in the heart of Ellicottville, just 51 miles south of Buffalo, New York. Recognized by Ski Magazine as the Best Ski Resort Town between New England and the Rockies, Ellicottville offers four seasons of charm, excitement, and relaxation.



The Space:

The Purple Palace offers the main portion of the home, with spacious accommodations for up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms.



Shaded by mature trees, this stately property blends historic beauty with modern comfort. You’ll enjoy upgraded appliances, fast Wi-Fi, and air conditioning throughout.



Guest Access:

Keypad access at side parking lot



The Neighborhood:

Prime Location!



Stay at the closest rental to Ellicottville’s famous four corners (Washington & Jefferson) — your perfect launchpad for a ski weekend, golf getaway, or small-town escape. We're in a quiet residential neighborhood just steps way from downtown, while Holiday Valley and Holimont are both less than a mile from your door.



Whether it’s winter powder or summer greens, Ellicottville has it all. Spend the day on the slopes or fairways, then wander downtown for boutique shopping, live music, and exceptional dining. Sip a pint at The Gin Mill, savor dinner at Dina’s, and dance into the night at Balloons or Madigan’s.

Perfect

We stayed at this home as our daughter was receiving her Masters degree from St Bonaventure. It was easy to get there. The home was perfect for my mom who needed a first floor bed and bath. This Victorian home was filled with charm and so close to the village. We absolutely loved it and would stay here again.

Family Ski Weekend

We loved this house. It is huge with plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable and have their own space. The ping pong table and other games kept the teenagers entertained. The house is so close to everything. We walked everywhere. Shopping, restaurants, bars, winery and the salt cave are just a short walk away. We would definitely stay again.entertained.
