The Ellwanger Estate

We all have gift and tal­ents. The most impor­tant thing is to rec­og­nize yours. We at the Ell­wanger Estate B&B rec­og­nize our gifts and tal­ents are in cater­ing to women.

As a busi­ness­woman myself, I know that I am inter­ested in crea­ture com­forts that suit me as a female trav­eler: from plush robes to van­ity mir­rors. So the Ell­wanger Estate has grad­u­ally been doing more to cater to the female traveler.

Every­one wants a safe, com­fort­able place to sleep, wash up, and maybe get some work done. So how does the Ell­wanger Estate cater to women? You find out what they’re look­ing for and you give it to them. And women want a spa: every­thing from license mas­sage ther­apy, thick bathrobes, curved shower-rods, van­ity mir­rors, book lights, I Pod dock­ing sta­tions, yoga mats, gourmet cof­fees and teas and satin-covered hangers.

There are more and more women in the work­place now and I think we don’t pay enough atten­tion to their needs. By pro­vid­ing such items as fluffy robes, a ladies-only emer­gency kit con­tain­ing panty­hose and tam­pons, make-up removal kit, hair dry­ers, mag­a­zines and large sizes of toi­letry prod­ucts, the Ell­wanger Estate B&B has given women more space in their suit­cases for shoes.

How­ever, it’s not all about supe­rior lev­els of ser­vice and ameni­ties, it’s also about safety. Some con­cerns, such as safety, are impor­tant no mat­ter what your gen­der. The Ell­wanger Estate offers on site park­ing, steps from the front door. The grounds are sur­round by a gated stonewall, and a home secu­rity sys­tem. You have a sense that you are in a secret garden.

But it does not end there. Almost every woman I know who trav­els a lot works out a lot. Just a block from the estate is the Gene­see River Trail. This trail runs up to 7 miles with loops from 0.6–2.6 miles along the scenic Gene­see River. Great for a run or a stroll.

Trav­el­ers also expect to be rewarded for their loy­alty. Loy­alty is huge. So the Ell­wanger Estate has a return guest 10% dis­count. For our return guest, the Ell­wanger Estate pro­vides con­sis­tency, and the more con­sis­tency you can have in your travel, the less dis­ori­ent­ing it is.

One of our guests was so enam­oured with the Ell­wanger Estate, that by the-end of her trip she was a bit reluc­tant to leave, stat­ing, “I wish we would of had more time to spend enjoy­ing those spa­cious liv­ing rooms and read­ing nooks. Being in the his­toric part of Rochester with all the mature trees was excel­lent with the fall foliage. Whether being indoors look­ing out from a read­ing nook or out on the grounds of the estate –it was relaxing. “

The feel­ing is wel­com­ing. The look is more Euro­pean, yet clean and crisp. The response has been “pos­i­tive, pos­i­tive, pos­i­tive.” And yes “The Ell­wanger Estate is on my list”.
