This beautiful old home has been converted into a beautiful historic in. We’ve stayed there several times, in fact we got married there! It’s always in pristine condition. Spa services we used is only the registered massage, but it was excellent too. The staff are unbelievably perfect. The food is exceptional. I would recommend this to anybody! It’s worth a visit to go and see it for yourself.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their beautiful B&B. Marcus couldn't have been more accommodating and Elin's breakfast were awesome! Their historic home was so fun to stay in. We were close to the many hikes, falls and wineries along the lake. Great vacation!

A Breathable Escape!
We loved staying here. The bed was super comfortable in our room and the breakfasts were delish! The host, Marcus, was very attentive and the house is fantastic. We stayed over in the carriage house but the big house had so many rooms with things to entertain you! A huge wrap around porch and an enclosed gazebo with its own wine cork puller! We really loved the feel and beauty of this place. The view was a bit covered over by fully grown trees, just some peeks through, and those peeks were fabulous, but the landscaping around the house made up for it. So many places to sit and BREATHE! I bet the full view is gorgeous once the leaves fall! OOOH, and I bet the fall up there is gorgeous also!

This property is wonderful, the staff are welcoming, friendly and incredible. Hot water, excellent water pressure and well equipped for plug ins. The breakfast is homemade and fantastic! The service is 5 star and unmatchable. Can’t wait to go back. Cycling, wineries and fantastic food options. Fell in love with Idlwilde and Watkins Glen

Beautiful mansion
The property was very beautiful and so was our room. Only complaint was the bedframe was pretty squeaky anytime you changed sleeping positions. Other than that, the mattress was a lot more comfy than other hotels I've stayed at.
