Stay in the heart of Ellicottville.
Insider Tips
Best time to book
Ellicottville shines in every season—from winter ski trips at Holiday Valley and Holimont, to summer festivals, fall color tours, and spring mountain adventures. Basecamp stays fill quickly around major events like Fall Festival and Winter Music Jam, so it’s best to plan early—especially for group trips or full-village bookings. That said, spontaneous getaways happen here all the time. With four seasons of scenery and plenty to do, there’s never a bad time to book your stay.
Best parking
Basecamp is just under a mile from the heart of Ellicottville, close enough to stroll to the village yet tucked away for quiet nights by Plum Creek. Most guests enjoy the short walk, but downtown offers ample parking for those who prefer to drive—try the Monroe Street or Washington Street lots for easy access to shops, dining, and après-ski spots. Whether you walk or park nearby, everything in Ellicottville is within easy reach.
Family-friendly vs Nightlife vibes
Ellicottville is a town that does both—family-friendly adventure by day and lively energy by night. Spend mornings on the slopes or hiking trails, then explore the village’s restaurants, breweries, and live music scene after dark. At Basecamp, that same flexibility shines through: grill dinner under the stars, gather by the firepit, or head out for a night on the town. Whether you’re here with kids, friends, or both, Basecamp makes it easy to find your perfect pace.
