The Country House Bed & Breakfast

The Country House Bed & Breakfast is a sprawling 1847 country home nestled on 314 acres of farmland, with generations of treasures to share. Relax in our warm, light-filled great room with fireplace, beamed ceilings, book-lined walls, and piano. Enjoy large, elegant sleeping rooms with private baths and air conditioning. The Country House is ideal for overnight stays, corporate & board retreats, weddings, receptions, and family reunions. We also offer weekly packages.

The original house was built in 1847 and 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. In August 2000, the owner of an identical house by 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 brought together by Dave and Misty Sack to create six historically inspired sleeping rooms and baths with modern comforts. 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.

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

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 homebase for an active vacation at the area's many attractions, or a secluded rustic hideaway from which you'll scarcely roam.
