Located in the Heart of Chautauqua County, the Country House B&B is the perfect quiet and relaxing retreat. 

        The original house at 4836 Hale Road was built in 1847 by the Hale family, for the family of the county's new Superintendent of Schools, who wished to reside close to geographical center of Chautauqua County--and within a day's buggy ride to any school within its boundaries. Occupied by the Hale family until 1937 when purchased and improved by Morgan Sack and later run as a successful dairy farm by his son David, it has been home to just two families.

        In August, 2000, the owner of an identical house by the contractor Danby built in 1848 just around the corner, offered its still-sturdy, two-story section to the Sacks. So, with the help of a few friends and tractors, the four-room structure came across the meadow on I-beams, and became the west wing of The Country House.

        Generations of treasures are being brought together by Dave and Misty Sack to create six historically inspired (but with modern comforts) sleeping rooms and baths. Since its opening in July, 2002, bountiful country breakfasts accompany every pampered overnight stay. Guests linger at the long table overlooking the meadows, where good coffee and good conversation go on and on. 

 

In summer, the back porch rockers beckon, as well as acres of wooded trails and a small, well-stocked beaver pond. In winter the woodstove is stoked up, and the hearth welcomes guests in from the snowy countryside.

 

The Country House is a congenial home-base for an active vacation at the area's many attractions, or a secluded rustic hideaway from which you'll scarcely roam.
