Downtown Spacious 5BR and Game Room

Summary:

The Purple Palace is one of Ellicottville’s most centrally located rentals—a spacious 5-bedroom Victorian home just steps from the four corners, featuring a full game room with ping pong, a private fire pit, and space for up to 10 guests. Historic character, modern comfort, and zero driving required.



The Space:

With five bedrooms and the full run of a stately Victorian home, The Purple Palace comfortably sleeps up to 10. Five bathrooms mean no waiting—ideal for larger groups getting ready for the slopes, golf, or a night out.

Historic charm meets modern comfort with updated appliances, fast Wi-Fi, and A/C throughout. An upper bedroom includes a private kitchenette with mini fridge, and multiple fridges on the main floor make food storage easy for larger groups.

Ideal for golf weekends, ski trips, and family gatherings—all within a 2-minute walk of downtown. Park your car when you arrive—you won’t need it.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the home, including all 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, living spaces, kitchen, game room, and outdoor areas. Enjoy the BBQ grill, fire pit, and dedicated on-site parking. Access is simple and secure via a keypad at the private side entrance.



The Neighborhood:

Steps from the iconic four corners (Washington & Jefferson), The Purple Palace puts you at the center of everything Ellicottville has to offer—tucked on a quiet residential street, yet seconds from the action. Holiday Valley and Holimont are both less than a mile away.

After a day on the slopes or the golf course, walk to The Gin Mill for a pint or Dina’s for dinner. Summer or winter, everything is right outside your door—while still offering a more relaxed residential setting to come home to.



Getting Around:

Free parking on-site and street parking available. Arriving by air? Buffalo Niagara International (BUF) is about 1.5 hours away. A car is recommended for day trips—Seneca Allegany Casino is 15 minutes, Allegany State Park about 30.



Other Things to Note:

For security and property protection, there are exterior cameras covering the parking area, as well as a noise monitoring device that measures decibel levels (not conversations). These help ensure a safe and respectful environment for guests and neighbors.



The home includes a separate, private owner’s suite on the top floor. It has its own entrance and is fully self-contained, with no shared interior spaces. Guests have exclusive use of all areas shown in the listing, including their own private entrance, parking, and outdoor spaces.



An instruction booklet on-site covers the home’s amenities and local recommendations in detail.

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.

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.

There was 9 of us from five states that got together for 4 days. We mainly stayed at the house with one day taking in the village. Made memories. Negative thoughts were safety and cleanliness. The bottom half of house was not really that clean. Previous guests must have had food fight as there was cheese stuck to the ceiling and pull out couch had crumbs galore in the cushions. Should have at least one flashlight for power outages and more garbage bags and paper towels. Bathroom handle down stairs was broken upon arrival, tried to fix not luck. Thank you.

Disaster!

We had stayed here a couple years before but didn’t love the cleanliness of the house but decided re rent it due to the amount of people we had and the location. This was a huge mistake. During our first night we were awoken by bats flying in our faces. We contacted the host and he said he didn’t know what to do and disconnected. When we called him back he stated he would give a refund if we found another place. The next day he did not contact us until afternoon and told us we needed to leave and that we would not be getting a refund from him but had to figure it out ourselves. This place is disgusting and filled with bata and the owner is extremely rude and un helpful. I would rate this a negative rating if I could. I do not recommend at all.

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!
