Pros: The owner is super cool. When we arrived, he was mowing the lawn. He hopped off and showed us to our room. Check in wasn't till 3pm but he allowed us to go up early. The rooms were huge. Very intimate since we could leave our doors opened and unlocked the entire stay. Only the bridal party stayed at the inn so it was nice. The owner and staff were all super helpful, polite, and nice. McKenzie, one of the staff, especially sweet and didn't complain about anything even though she was there all day and night (give this girl a raise). They did skimp out on liquor, not watered down at all. Food was amazing . I believe the owner cooked everything. The venue was very beautiful. The view was perfect. We got very lucky since it literally rained all day. The rain stopped and the sunset was amazing. Cons: I stayed here mid October and the weather here is still very hot and cold, literally. Mostly cold. The ac/heater unit didn't work very well and it either got way too hot or way too cold. Couldn't find a middle ground. Also, it took a while for it to get to warm up. Our fireplace was not functional and all. The owner made a few attempts to fix that problem but never got fixed. There's a hot tub here. We didn't use it. There were dead flies all over the place. On the rug, in the tub, and on the sheets. The rooms didn't seem to be clean. There was hair in the sink, gunk in the shower, hair on the walls on the shower, and dust all over the place. My boyfriend walk around the room barefoot and tracked dirt into the bed. Could def use a nice vacuum and dusting. Happy to say the bed at least had a mattress cover. The rooms were ridiculously expensive given the cleanliness.

I recently stayed in the Rose Room with my boyfriend for an upstate getaway. This B&B came highly…read morerecommended to us from two other couples who had stays here. Gail and Gary are just wonderful people who invite you in to share a piece of their home. We are a younger couple (early 30s and late 20s), so in some B&Bs I find a bit of fussiness from the proprietors that makes me feel like I am in a museum rather than a relaxing, homey sanctuary. Well that is NOT a problem here! Wicker Garden is personable. Guests have access to a common living room with fireplace and cozy couch, snacks, wine glasses, mugs, coffee, tea, etc. We sat here one evening chatting away with Gail and Gary, then ordered a pizza delivery. Gail provided us with plates and everything we needed to enjoy a night in (in our amazing accommodations, which brings me to the room....) Rose room- spacious, with a stately canopy bed, a gas fireplace, a couch and a huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and plenty of hot water. It was truly our sanctuary for a wintry weekend. The bed had beautiful coverlets and sheets, down pillows. I don't sleep as well at home! And even on 0 degree days, it was plenty toasty all day and night. Now what's a B&B without a wonderful breakfast? This one was top notch. Great, fragrant coffee served in large one-of-a-kind mugs. It seems like a baked fruit, a warm bread and an egg dish makes a basic template for what to expect, and Gail can accommodate any dietary needs. Finally, the grounds/location are picturesque. I only regret I forgot to read or ask about the history of the property. There is a red barn and plenty of open surrounding fields, stars out bright at night. Even snow covered, it looks like the cover of a story book. I highly recommend a stay here. You really can't go wrong. And it was conveniently located for wine touring and proximity to the town of Auburn.

Prices for rental are reasonable and the staff there did a great job of working with us every step of the way. And thank you again for making sure we had a working keg-orator on site! We really enjoyed the scenery there, and our guests had nothing but compliments of how beautiful the place was. The little barn for the cocktail hour was an absolute hit! Everone loved the boat-bar and the decorum of the space, really a neat little area for folks to hang out and enjoy! Without a doubt if we had to do it all over again, we would have no hesitation to book with you! For those who are looking for a place where they do EVERYTHING for you, this is not that kind of place, nor should it be. They do lots of the heavy lifting for you though, thats for sure. But you'll have to do the set up yourselves unless you want hire people to do it for you (ala wedding planner style). And you'll also have to provide your own alcohol permit for the day of your party. Not a big deal, you can get that online through NYS pretty easy, even from being out of state its not a hassle at all. The one drawback, is that there's NO Air Conditioning in the place. And when its hot out, that place can get pretty hot! For years, September months in the Fingerlakes were cooler. But these past few years its been getting hotter and hotter. Our wedding day it was in the mid 80's and muggy so it made it a bit unbearable to be in the back room area (where the band is). When the sun went down, it got a bit cooler, but it was still hot overall in the bldg. If the folks @ CM read this, that is one recommendation I would make - invest in a solid Central Air system for your hall; a system that you could possibly let people rent (in addition) for their party, or just charge a little extra for each party booked. Also, your A/C units in the rental houses on the property are sub-standard. Again, small investment which would make a huge difference for your guests. So for those of you looking for a beautiful, quaint, and overall enjoyable place to hold any kind of celebration, I would strongly recommend Chantelle Marie! Thank You Again! Geoff & Jenny

He was very comfortable and loved the large green space outside. *We also liked that it was adults only when we were there. Cons: Parking is a little tight. When we arrived, we had trouble getting into door #1 but we figured it out. It was stuck and you had to push it hard to get it open. We wished there was more closet space or more space to put our two suitcases. The road The Bond is located on gave me "Pet Semetary" vibes... it's a highway with many fast cars and semi trucks driving by and there's no barrier between the grass and the road. Definitely keep your pets on a leash. Also to note, my husband was under the impression The Bond was located on the lake based on the photos from the website and the room we stayed in was advertised as "Lake View King, Room 1". This b&b is actually located across highway 41 from the lake and we could barely see it. This was a disappointment.
