The Jefferson Inn

Superb breakfasts, wonderful fresh cookies daily, 24/7 coffee available. lovely room, quiet and private, great location within walking distance of restaurants and shops and easy access to skiing. The owner, Jean, was very friendly and personable; the perfect balance between respecting privacy and offering local tips and helpful suggestions. Will definitely return!

The kind of place an amazing getaway begins...
We came mid week for an overnight ski trip and were greeted by our hostess Jean, and her faithful companion Gypsy mid morning as we had arranged to drop off our luggage, and pick up our lift ticket vouchers (a good value, and a nice touch). The Inn is charming, and you immediately find yourself meandering the rooms admiring the woodwork, antiques, history, and cookies. That's right, fresh baked cookies of all varieties are just waiting for you near the complimentary refreshment area. Following a day out on the slopes we had reserved the hot tub but I had forgotten my swimsuit. Another little perk, they have extras available. We had reserved the Mary O'Rourke Suite, and it did not disappoint. It was clean and well appointed with just the right touch of antiques, and a fire place. The Inn is situated within walking distance to top notch restaurants and shopping. In the morning we were served a leisurely 3 course breakfast that included homemade muffins, and one of the finest pancakes I've had! I want that recipe Jean (lol)! Jean and her team are masters at creating a warm and welcoming experience for their guests. Just go ahead and book the room, you won't regret it!

My son and I stayed 2 nights for a weekend ski trip. Due to affordability our family usually stay at hotels. But now I'm hooked on staying at an inn! It was such a treat to have a delicious, leisurely breakfast served on our schedule. Very quiet, considerate guests-even those that were enjoying the hot tub. Meticulously clean, great walkable location and the best doggo I've ever met. Can't wait to come back. Thanks Jean and Co!

My wife and I stayed at the Jefferson Inn for our 24th anniversary, and all can say is BRAVO!!!!
Jean was a fantastic host, the Inn was beautiful and relaxing, just what we were looking for.
The breakfast each morning was delicious and our room was clean and comfortable. The walking distance to downtown was also very convenient, I highly recommend the Jefferson Inn
to anyone looking to get away from everyday stress and enjoy the beauty of Ellicottville. See you next year!

Had a lovely stay! The room was perfect..clean & comfortable. The owner was very friendly! The breakfast was amazing and we still talk about how delicious it was to this day! And as an added bonus, the town was great and within walking distance to a lot of great shops and places to stop for lunch, dinner, drinks etc.
