Ellwanger Estate

Top choice in Western New York


Try to not let your jaw hit the floor when you see the size of the downstairs common spaces in this historic estate turned B&B. It's pure Victorian opulence, which is carried on to the guest rooms, each of which are uniquely decorated and full of well integrated modern touches (think PranaSleep organic mattresses) to keep things comfortable.
