2025 Season

We purchased the property in 2017 and began a labor of love to refurbished the 1870s Italianate to her former glory.  Complete exterior painting now highlights the blue and yellow corbels and gingerbread coordinated  with our flower beds, orchard and gardens make her warm, inviting and a place for selfies!

A brand new modern kitchen, heating and cooling provide our guests with “too much food” and all the creature comforts of a boutique hotel. Our philosophy has been when you are on vacation you are on your schedule. You can rise early and greet the day hiking our many Finger Lakes Trails and Waterfalls or sleep in. That is why, you tell us what time you want your five course brunch.

Over the years we have enjoyed meeting our guests from local families here for a reunion or from as far away as South Africa, Israel or Australia.  However, the time has come for Mike & I to hang up our Inn Keeper aprons and “wine down” too.  We have decided that this will be our last season.

We have put the Manor on the real estate market (MLS# R1569748).  We are excited to turn the BnB over to new Inn Keepers or a family who needs a large home. We will be passing on this website, social media, an exceptional reputation, amazing clients and all the infrastructure to make this a turn key operation.  As we pass over our menus, our intent is to make a transition for new owners to be seamless to guests.
This year we ask that you call us directly to book your stay.

What people are saying about our B&B

“Thanks” is hardly adequate to show our appreciation for your gracious hospitality.  You welcomed us into your home as friends and treated us like royalty.  We are so grateful for your excellent advice on things to see and do while in the area as well as the sumptuous breakfasts.  We will never forget the joyful time we spent in your home reconnecting with long time friends and finding new friends in you.  (Susan & John)

Our stay with you was as much more than we could have expected.  The touches in both rooms of love and anniversary, wishes, the delightful and unexpected upgrade to our amazing suite….  The breakfasts were delicious and so well done. We loved that it was mostly home grown! I could go on and on but let me just say Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  (Joan & Herb)

Thank you so much for your hospitality during our stay here! The Manor is gorgeous, and all of your little touches you left for us made our stay so special – not to mention the decadent breakfasts! This place made our honeymoon memorable, and we will definitely give you all a Five star review.  (Katie & Bill)

The best stay we’ve had in Upstate! We stayed in the Roosevelt suite. Jean decorated the room for my husband’s birthday and even had a chilled bottle of wine and “old man” beer from local places waiting in our room. The entire house is just beautiful, and our room(s) were no exception. The bed was extremely comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was perfect. We had planned a fancy dinner out but after a busy day of exploring and tasting, we decided to order a pizza in and watched a movie in our private lounge across the hallway from our room. They hosted a bonfire on the patio, and I wish we weren’t too tired to join. A truly perfect respite for these two working parents. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you!!!
