My girlfriend and I were staying in Brooklyn for a week and we found this place online. We found a…read morefew reviews and decided to give it a try. We stayed 3 nights, Sunday to Wednesday. Josie was great. She showed us around our floor (when you rent a room you get the entire floor) and talked about locking up and things like that. The Breakfast portion is on the lighter side. Cereal and juice are available. Josie offered to get pastries in the morning but we said we didn't need it, there are too many great places for brunch in the neighborhood. The rooms were clean, the main bathroom seemed brand new (the second bathroom in the bedroom was nice to have as well) and the location was fantastic. I'd much rather pay a little more to stay here as opposed to getting a hotel on the other side of Park Slope. If you need a place to stay in Park Slope I recommend considering this place.

As a bride who cares about details I decided to do it and that we would rent out the tree house for 2 days the weekend of our wedding in October! Costing us $2,000 despite probably not being able to find anyone to fill the second room for $500 a night! But I wanted it to be worth it. We spend our first night as husband and wife at the same location where had a special boudoir shoot for my future husband to cherish forever ! And it'll be special for the both of us! On May 19th I was told it was $450 for the shot! Great! I'll spend it and pay my photographer,it's worth it! 2 days later I was told their policy changed! 2 days!!!!!! Despite them giving me their word! So then they asked for me to pay the full day buy out 1,000 for the shoot! I only need 2-4 hours max! And they couldn't change their policy that's SO IMPORTANT! If it's so important why was I told otherwise by their own employee) Anyway I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Yes the place is cool but clearly they only care about the money rather than customer service! I'm personally live my life being held accountable for my word. I would never say something I wouldn't/couldn't do (if you ever had kids or dealt with them you know they'll hold you up to it) isn't that how you should run a business?!?! Your mistake! Your problem?! Maybe learn but also stay true to what you said and don't let it happen again?! But clearly the people at Urban Cowboy don't care about their word! So disappointed!!! And I was planning to use them for other things! Baby moon, baby shower, anniversary! They just lost this lifetime customer over their own mistake! - I even have screenshots of our conversation! But can't post photos on here for some reason.

I rented the Urban Cowboy B&B for a full weekend last year…read more Jersey, the inn keeper, was a terrible communicator. I inquired about a full rental and she rarely followed up, never answered questions, and her emails were littered with typos. This should have been a warning sign but I was too smitten with the venue. Against my better judgement, I continued to reach out and went forward in renting the house for a full weekend. We used the house as lodging for my wedding party and as a base to get ready in the morning. I also inquired about hosting a 30-person rehearsal dinner at the house, for which I had to pay an additional event fee. The event rental (an additional $2k) provided us with no additional benefits, not even a floor plan when requested. And good luck coordinating your event with Jersey. Since she's so unresponsive, you'll have to guess at the logistics and just do everything yourself. The folks here are not afraid to upcharge you at every corner. Imagine my shock when this "bed and breakfast" wanted to charge us for breakfast and housekeeping- something that IS included with room stays but apparently NOT with the more expensive full house rental. Nowhere was this greedy policy disclosed on the website or in our contract- we felt falsely advertised to and misled, and it contributed to making us feel unwelcome during our stay. The lack of hospitality continued the rest of the weekend. Jersey made us feel like we were invading the house or something, and all I ever got from her were feelings of resentment. Yikes! I'm sorry you have to live in the basement for the weekend but maybe you shouldn't rent out the house or you should find a new occupation. No smiles, no congratulations, just rude glares at us from across the room. Jersey had no qualms about coming upstairs every hour during our rehearsal dinner- telling us to keep it down and just making us feel really awkward. We were a tame group who kept the noise at a respectful level the entire time. We shut down before 10:30pm. But since the Urban B&B had already received noise violations and was already in trouble with their neighbors due to raucous partying they've had in the past, *I* was being penalized and policed at every corner. Checkout was noon and though my entire party was on time for check out, even tidying up a bit in the kitchen, backyard, and bedrooms, Jersey was upstairs in the main living area at 10AM watching our every move. She was rushing us out, did not lift a finger to help do anything, and it soured the experience even more. The house is very pretty. The main living areas and master bedroom are as lovely as the photos. The kitchen is a dream. The other bedrooms are a little cold and sparse, and I felt bad for guests staying in the smaller, draftier rooms. They don't feel nearly as special as the rest of the house. The cabin is conceptually cool, though not the most comfortable place to sleep (and it's hard to forget you're in a backyard in Brooklyn). The wall hanging of a native american skull against a backdrop of cowboy memorabilia also made me feel really uncomfortable- talk about insensitive. The place could benefit from some security. One of the design features of the house are the giant garage doors that lead to the front and backyard. Cool but not very secure. On the first day, during our rehearsal dinner, the garage door was left open. A total stranger wandered inside during broad daylight and, if we hadn't caught them suspiciously eyeing our bags, I'm not sure what would have happened. We closed the garage door promptly after that and locked our rooms every night. The house photographs beautifully, but I would never recommend this to anyone as lodging. Jersey was the most unpleasant person I have ever had to work with- and *I* was the client! The folks who run it should not be in the hospitality business. Save yourself the headache, listen to the reviews, and stay elsewhere.

The inn is clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The breakfasts were excellent and one of the many things that made staying here such a great experience. The location is also hard to beat-- a 2 block walk to the beach and a short drive to Main Street, making it easy to enjoy everything Belmar has to offer. What stood out most to me was the hospitality. Staying somewhere for nearly a month gives you a much different perspective than a quick weekend trip, and throughout my entire stay Bill and Linda consistently made me feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you both for making my extended stay feel like home. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend the Inn at the Shore to anyone visiting the area. 10/10.

Within moments of arriving, she was looking for more money stating we never told her it was a wedding. She was antagonistic and confrontational.

She will turn off your air conditioner. It was a deliberate effort on our part not to have her ruin our wedding weekend. Hospitality is no where to be found.

The house had a nice porch with comfortable seating on a beautiful tree-lined street. The room was spacious and clean. However, when we met the owner our stay became an unpleasant experience. We were several hours late because of delays at the airport and did not arrive until early evening. We got the key from my daughter and entered our room. My wife had personally called the owner several times to confirm our reservation and she assured us that the whole top floor was ours with two bedrooms and bathrooms which is what we needed because our adult son was also with us. We noticed that one of the bedrooms had clothing and personal items in it. When my wife knocked on Bibi's door later that night she informed us that an Italian couple were staying in the other bedroom and do not close the door to the common room. The next day Bibi was found walking through our room complaining about empty bottles on the counter and that we had not turned off the air conditioner. That night she confronted us about banging on her door at night and demanding cash only for our stay which she never mentioned in conversations with my wife. I had to walk a mile to the nearest ATM to get the cash. Bottom line - the commandant of this stalag will make you feel like an intruder and not like her guest. This place is to be avoided at all costs.
