    My sister and I took my mom to the Rose Petal Inn for my mothers 70th birthday and our experience…read morewas beyond our expectations. We purchased the wine and dine package - staying three nights and doing two days of wine tours with the man in the van. It was spectacular. Wine tours- were a great experience . We saw 6-7 vineyards each day and did the east side of the lake one day and the west the other! Dario, our driver, was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about the wine and the region! You won't be dissapointed if you book your tours with him! Food- the breakfast at this B&B was out of this world - all made to order unique menu choices!! And then there is the 9 course tapas meal on Saturday night. Chef Andy really out did himself with an international culinary adventure ! In addition to the food at the inn Rossana will give you great recommendations for community restaurants. Inn- very clean and comfortable ! Wine and dine package - highly recommended! Rossana uses this package to spoil her guests with nice surprises through your stay. Owners- Rossana and Andy are such lovely people! We greatly enjoyed chatting with them and their wonderful family! Will most definitely be returning !

    Andrew and Rossana are great people and excellent hosts. They opened their B&B in beautiful Geneva…read moreN.Y., in 2013 after buying and restoring a quaint house in a centrally located area of town. Andrew is a trained chef and his breakfasts are off the chart. Guests are given a full menu to order off, and on our visit the breakfast included French-press expresso, baked goods, fresh juices, a fruit course, and an entree. Andrew is a bit bewildered why nobody orders his huevos rancheros (I wish I had), so give it a try when you are there. You can have it straight up or in an omelet. Andrew and Rossana offer an excellent tapas dinner on Saturday night, which is not only a great value but extraordinary in its depth and complexity. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. We will be back.

    My stay at the Hampton Inn was pretty decent. It's definitely not a lake view like the hotel…read moreadvertises but the lake is within walking distance. The staff was friendly, rooms were clean, continental breakfast wasn't half bad, it's within walking distant to several restaurants and bars and there is plenty of parking. Called to make a reservation the day of, it was a Wednesday and they were able to accommodate us. We got a room with a queen size bed and it wasn't huge but it was good enough and the bathroom was spacious. The pillows on the bed might be the best pillows I have ever slept on in any hotel, EVER, and I have stayed in many hotels. So fluffy and wonderful. So one thing I have to say: they have coffee downstairs in the "lobby" area 24 hours a day and they also have cookies. Yes, soft, wonderful, delicious cookies. They are enormous and stare you right in the face when you walk in the hotel. You may think you have willpower, but when you are coming back to this hotel after a night of drinking in Geneva, willpower gone. Those cookies were darn delicious. Yes, cookies, plural. They have a pool and a little fitness center too, which we didn't utilize but maybe you will. Their continental breakfast was definitely impressive, for the most part, as long as you didn't intend on eating very healthy. Their hard boiled eggs were bad, two mornings we had continental breakfasts here, both times, the texture just wasn't right. They had oatmeal in a crackpot, which was my go to because it was one of the only healthy options. The toppings they had seemed healthy until you really looked at what it was. There were "almonds" but they were coated in loads of sugar. There was cinnamon sugar and there were also candied fruit. Luckily there were some peanut butter packs and I added that to my oatmeal with a banana and was set. They had make your own waffles, turkey sausage, omelettes, cereal, bagels, muffins and toast. Their coffee wasn't my favorite, but it also wasn't the worst. They had 2% milk, skim and half and half out. I thought the rooms were a tad expensive for what they were, but it was convenient that we didn't have to get a cab to go to the various restaurants and bars in the area. They even let me leave my car in the parking lot overnight while we headed to the end of the lake and stayed in Watkins Glen. I would definitely stay here again.

    Under construction with terrible aesthetics everywhere. Infuriating that hotels charge full rates…read morewhen they don't provide full services. Room was fine. Nowhere to park. Single elevator. Just a sad situation.

    We came here for a bachelorette low key get away with a few of my sisters friends. It was lovely,…read morewe kept saying how the place seemed straight out of a hallmark movie. We can see why this is so popular in the winter. It's just simply perfect. I could picture being snowed in like in the movies and loving it. This is located on a nice road very easy to get to. Not far from the bustling downtown of Geneva. But far enough to be nestled in the country. We even got pizza delivery here which was an awesome surprise that the local pizzeria offers. We enjoyed the clean and wonderful hot tub. The interior had everything we could have needed and more. Thank you for the eggs and the coffee creamer! The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. For being a historic home everything had such nice charm and style. The bathroom was fully updated and the downstairs bedroom had the perfect vibe I'd love in my own home. Beautiful flowers galore. The host Diane was friendly via the app and self check in was a breeze. We were left alone and felt totally safe and comfortable. I'd love to come back with my husband for a get away. This is a great place, highly recommend. Note though... when trying to locate it. Our gps took us up the hill along the backside of the owners house.. this was a dirt pathway - not the right way. The sign was deceiving. The cottage is directly next to the house, right off the paved road. Bonus points to the host for having the awesome array of dvds and games. This was so fun for us girls.

    If you want to just get away for a bit with your significant other (or whomever really, even by…read moreyour damn self) and just stay in, read, cook, have some much needed alone time, all while enjoying a hot tub, fireplace - with the option of going out to wineries, breweries, Rochester, and Sodus Point and Lake Ontario - I highly recommend this venue. The owners are kind and nice. You may get a fun visit from a black cat named Salem (loves milk and pets). The fireplace was my favorite. I sat and drank beer in front if it and did some coding and was totally lovely. It has a little warming nook and a rack to hang a dutch oven over the fire if you really want to go old school and cook on it. Just as lively was multiple champagne drinking sessions in the hot-tub. Lots of dry wood to burn. Recommend that you bring a bit of your own firewood just to keep the supply up as well as a bit of spring water if you're gonna cook / drink a lot and stay in.

    So the wife and I like to go to the Renaissance faire in Sterling New York at least once a year and…read moretypically will stay at a hotel in Oswego, however this year I decided to book a bed and breakfast for us and randomly chose this place after searching online. It was pretty close in proximity to the Ren Faire so that was a bonus. Kind of looks like your standard farmhouse when you pull up, however the inside looks incredible. The owner, I think his name was Josh, gave us a brief history of the place the next morning and I believe he said it was built in the late 1800s. Like I said it's very nice inside and each of the four rooms as a bonus that you don't typically find in farmhouses, has a window air conditioner. Quick tip however for anybody reading this and considering going there, if you're like me and you prefer your bedroom to be a little on the cooler side when you're sleeping, go up and turn on that air conditioner as soon as you arrive. The upstairs rooms can get pretty warm, of course I was there at the end of July but still it's going to take a couple minutes for that air conditioner to bring it down a few degrees. But anyway we slept pretty well, I received a text message at 8:30 the next morning alerting me that there was a tray of coffee and creamer and stuff outside the door and breakfast was served just a couple minutes past 9:00. The really interesting part about this particular place was the barn. When you pull up to the house, obviously being a farmhouse there's a barn out back. Not much to look at really, just looks like a barn.. But Josh gave us a look inside as we were leaving the next morning. I should have got some pictures but the inside is fully decked out as a venue that could be used for a wedding/reception and or any other small party or gathering. There's a bar area, a stage, some really cool lighting, and an upstairs area where a lot of tables were set up. If you're thinking about having a wedding in that area and are looking for somewhere to possibly have your reception, or in theory the actual wedding as there is a stage there... By all means give this place some consideration. Outdoors has a lot of space and a few more tables, there was a fire pit and contrary to another review that was left on here a few years ago there's a permanent structure that was built for a ladies room and a men's room. Like I said we were here just a few days ago at the end of July so the Flowers that would typically be in bloom in the springtime had passed and the ones that would be coming around in another month and a half or so obviously had not bloomed yet however judging by the number of bushes that I'm seeing, I'm sure it looks quite amazing when everything is trimmed and all the flowers are out and everything is decorated. Anyway, by all means if you're looking for somewhere different than your standard hotel room to stay and you're in this area, check this place out. Pricing wasn't that much different than a king size bed would have been in Oswego and I guarantee nobody at a hotel would have brought me coffee.

    We came to this wonderful barn for a wedding. Josh, the host, was wonderful with accommodations. We…read morewere nervous about using the outhouse, but the outhouse was the biggest and cleanest I've ever seen. The barn itself was beautifully decorated, and tables were spaced out enough. We really had a wonderful time.
