The Country House Bed & Breakfast, Bemus Point, NY

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 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 and Margaret Shafer Sack and later run as a successful dairy farm by his son David, it has been home to members of just a few 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, two bulldozers, and three tractors, the four-room structure came across the meadow on I-beams, and became the west wing of The Country House.

Generations of treasures have been 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 tea, and good conversation go on and on.


In summer, the back porch swing and rocking chairs 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.
