My friend and I appreciated the warm greeting by Rosemary Janofsky. Given a quick tour of the estate, then shown our room. Comfortable. Good mattresses. Good pillows. Claw Foot tub (hooray!) Many expensive toilletries set out for our use. A good recommendation for dinner, assistance with reservation and directions, and there we were, gazing out at the Genessee River, pinching ourselves, amazed at our good fortune. The weather cooperated, and for most of the weekend we had lovely breeze and blue sky. We enjoyed nearby activities including a stroll along the paths of the Mount Hope Cemetery. Sat on a bench by a duck pond, just listening to birds and chipmunks. Explored the South Wedge neighborhood. Then back to the Ellwanger for lazy afternoon tea outdoors with the house cat. Rosemary is an excellent cook, and both breakfasts were more than pleasing. Delicate vegetable frittata, steel cut oatmeal, pear butter from Ellwanger garden pears, fresh butter shaped by butter molds, croissants, and breads---my favorite, the cranberry orange nut bread. I crave it now, as I write. Hot strong coffee for those who need hot strong coffee with breakfast. She's a gem, that Rosemary Janofsky, just like the Estate she stewards. How wonderful that she had the desire to bring the Ellwanger Estate to life. I will return in the late Spring, when the peonies open and the garden walks are lined with flowers.

We recently moved to this beautiful area and fell in love with this gorgeous Estate! We stayed in "Travelers Rest" ~ A beautifully appointed, warm and welcoming retreat. We especially loved the Egyptian cotton sheets and rain shower. Breakfast was healthy, amazing and delicious and the table conversation with the other guests was lively and spirited. Rosemary is the consummate hostess and we look forward to returning again and again. Leslie and Charles Sellers

The Ellwanger B & B is a wonderfully appointed historic building. The bedroom was immaculate, quiet, large and most comfortable. The common rooms were warm and welcoming. Rosemary's breakfast was bountiful and delicious. It was delightful walking around the neighborhood - beautiful Highland Park and (believe it or not) one of the first and finest urban park cemeteries in the country (designed by Olmsted). I look forward to returning.
The most outstanding B&B you'll find in all of the Northeast

This place is beautiful. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated. The grounds are lovely and the porch is a fantastic place to gather for wine, cheese and good conversation!
