The inn keepers were wonderful hosts and did not overlook any details. Breakfasts were three courses each morning and delicious and suprising -- never a typical country breakfast.

The property is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's on a large piece of land, ideal for getting away from urban life and enjoying the quiet. There are only two rooms. My husband and I stayed in Laura's room, which was beautiful. Actually, the whole house looks impeccable. There are free snacks and drinks and a living room area guests can use downstairs. When we went in the summer we were woken up early by the sound of many birds singing. Then we had breakfast. We're not usually breakfast-people, but the fresh fruit and mint ( some from the garden) with yogurt, honey and preserved lemon were incredible. This place made us feel as though we discovered a secret haven. It was really great.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful for an outdoor ceremony, very spacious with well tended landscaping and towering old trees that create a scene you cannot find anywhere else. The quaint charm of the bed & breakfast and carriage barn where we had the reception was just the best. Guests walking up the driveway looked around in awe at how beautiful it is here, more than one person commenting they felt like they were in a movie! The hospitality of Cathy and Jack for those who stayed overnight in some of the 3 bedrooms we rented for the weekend was 5 star. The daily breakfast was prepared from scratch and was all locally sourced and prepared perfectly. Our wedding day was literally perfect and Frog Pond was a big part of the reason why. If you have the opportunity to book an event here you are in for a truly magical time.

I have stayed in some of the finest B & B's in the North East and visited with optimism despite our forced change in plans. WOW, the Universe plays the Best tricks. As we drove up a lengthy driveway I was struck by the Beauty of the Willow Trees dancing in the wind over a beautiful duck pond with a Blue Heron gracing its little Island. As we continued up the Driveway the Chalet came into view. We were greeted warmly by Pattie who helped work through some details. Soon Margaret joined us and offered another warm welcome. They asked us some open-ended questions (Morning Beverage of choice for one), offered Insights and shared recommendations, letting us know that our satisfaction was their focus. After seeing some common areas we were escorted to our room where every detail was covered to ensure we would be getting the most out of our stay. Our Room (Lee Suite) was appointed with tasteful furnishings and offered an instant comfort. We stayed for three nights and each morning, when we arrived at our desired time, we found a carafe of Coffee and hot water waiting for us to get seated. Breakfast is three (3) courses and changed daily. Dietary needs were addressed upon arrival and any personal likes and dislikes were noted for the visit, and future visits for those so fortunate. Every bite was delicious and well balanced. As a Inspired home cook I could tell these ladies truly enjoy crafting this deliciousness each day. One suggestion (my regret) would be to take some time to enjoy the grounds. I was so busy running around the lakes that I failed to do this adequately. It is such a relaxing environment that you need to take some of that in. I will make sure to do more of this on my return trip.

Since we had such a large group, we found out that they had availability for us to spend our Thanksgiving dinner together here. A little bit of a drive for us, and since our designated mealtime was 5:30 we couldn't enjoy the views from this side of the lake. We had a plated dinner, so it was nice not to fight the urge to overeat and overindulge. The three courses were ample for us to get a chance to try different things, along with items you would never consider otherwise but given the holiday- why not? We were given the private room right on the right side as you walk into the house. It is beautifully decorated, and had ample space for our large group. In these times, supporting small businesses is critical to make sure historic places like the Aurora Inn stay in our minds and lives for decades to come. I rarely get to this area of NY- but if you're there I suggest bringing a close friend, or special someone for a private intimate dinner. Support Small Businesses!

This was our first experience at a Bed & Breakfast and it was lovely. The owner, Clark, was friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home them moment we arrived. Our room was clean, the water pressure for the shower was powerful, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in on vacation. Clark cooked delicious breakfasts with the freshest ingredients, and was accommodating to our food restrictions/preferences. Also noteworthy, the B&B is off the main street and next to the lake so it is the perfect spot when staying in Skaneatales, NY. I would recommend anyone to book a stay at 2 W Lake B&B if you are making your way to this town and want to feel a part of the community even if you are only staying for the weekend.

It made a weekend of sadness into a truly lovely, comfortable time. We stayed in the Chinese Lantern Room, which is small, but who cares when you have a Jacuzzi for Twozzi!!? Breakfast was fantastic-fresh fruit salad, great coffee, honey yogurt and a delicious egg and ham soufflee.

Also, the same design makes you open the door into the room where it drips on the floor until you're full out. A bit strange. A nice breakfast at a reasonable price is available just off the lobby. For under $10, either full buffet or omelets/eggs made to order with waitress service. Free at some Honors levels. Housekeeping was responsive and friendly.
