Thank you to Brie & Matt for an absolutely perfect event! Our event was held on their meticulously manicured lawn & gardens.

A Fantastic Transformation Over the Years…read more I've been staying at the Endwell Motel on and off for about five years, and the improvements under the new ownership are remarkable. While the rooms are older, Warren and his wife put in a great effort to keep everything clean and comfortable. The upgraded Wi-Fi is a big plus, and their hospitality is unmatched. Warren is such a friendly and welcoming host, sparking a long conversation about my travels and family every time I come back. This lovely couple has truly made the motel a great place to stay.

Farm fresh eggs, bacon and sausage from a nearby Amish farm. A short walk over the Chenango river to the main shopping strip in a beautiful town. And easy five star review here.

It was such a peaceful and pleasant way to relax. Inside I was well cared for by friendly hosts. Meeting other guests and chatting with the owners made it even enjoyable!

I loved the bird serenade as I watched the geese and ducks floating by on the river. So peaceful!!! I hope that anyone who wants more than a hotel bed wool trust in staying at the Fainting Goat Island Inn. I sincerely appreciated gaining this marvelous, memorable experience!

We went back to NY for a wedding. The site is beautiful for a ceremony. The food is okay and the…read morestaff was nice. My complaint is with management. The bride and groom had to pull out of having the reception at the Silo. Management turned from kind and helpful to rude and disrespectful. He defiantly showed his true colors. We were not allowed to use the inn during the ceremony which made it hard to keep tradition for the bride and groom not to see each other before walking the isle and the bride and groom were charged twice. It was childish behavior of management and unprofessional. I was vary disappointed, but the ceremony was beautiful. The chairs and arch where set up when we got to the site, but we never saw anyone one from management to answer questions for congratulate the bride and groom. I would be carful working with the Silo for any event, but if you are a tough cookie I think you will like the Silo ceremony site.

Honestly I did not expect much because it was Binghamton. The food was good, the taste was comparable to some restaurants I've tried in the city. We ordered 2 Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes and Sauteed Mustard Greens ($14 each), a Grilled Chicken Panni with Portabello Mushroom, Smoked Cheddar Cheese and Sauteed Mustard Greens, and a Salad(forgot which one) with Grilled Ahi Tuna. All the dishes were presented nicely in terms of culinary art. I had the Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes and Sauteed Mustard Greens with Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese ($4) on the side. Personally I believe that I've had better. The salmon was not over cooked, the skin was maybe a little bit too crispy. I think it is pretty good for the price. The mashed potatoes and the sauteed greens went well with the dish. The sauce on the plate also went well with the salmon. As for the Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese, I was disappointed. The pasta could have been a little softer. I would give the Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese 3 stars and Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes 4 stars. I am comparing this to my Camaje and SMAC experience. For dessert we had 3 orders of gelato and an order of warm molted lava cake with vanilla gelato. I had the warm molted lava cake with vanilla gelato. It was pretty good, but I have had better dessert than this. I mean this is better than probably dessert from TGIF or Apple Bees. The cake was really moist. All of us were satisfied with our meal. This place is definitely has a great atmosphere. It is a little fancy and romantic. It's great for dates or special celebrations. I went for lunch and the bright light was shinning in through the window (does not have a nice window view) It seems like the restaurant is a candle light dinner or dim light type later in the evening. The restaurant is inside a hotel. So I would not dress too bum-like, lol... One thing that disturbed me was an unfamiliar object had dropped into my friend's glass of water as the waitress was filling it. But she kindly replaced it for us. They had really good service. I would definitely go again to try some of their other stuff.

We stayed in the Rose Suite last weekend. We were greeted by Boston Terrier whose name I can't…read moreremember, but he was really cute. The people were very nice as was the room/sitting room. It's really "antiquey" on the inside, like you're visiting grandma's house. I'm more partial to lighter colors and not much into having all the tables/shelves covered with antique knick knacks but it was still pretty. There was a big Godiva chocolate bar waiting for us on our bed when we arrived- yum! The bed was super comfy but not the best for tall people- it came up a little short for my 6'1" hubby. The bathroom is small with separate hot/cold faucets and a claw foot tub, but no stand-up shower. There is a shower hose attachment and great water pressure, but having to hold it while bathing reminded me of a camp shower- except for the good water pressure part. There is a modern shower to use upstairs too if that's your preference- just ask. They have a large front porch with several places to sit and read- so we did. There's big pool in the backyard with a screened-in gazebo- necessary because of the mosquitoes. Pool temperature was perfect and there are several cats that hang out back there. A huge orange striped cat named "Wally" and his much smaller but same color sidekick "Julia" let me pet them while I was hanging on the side of the pool. That was very cute especially since most cats would want nothing to do with that. It was really hot there but that's not why I went for a swim. The only place within walking distance where we could have a drink was about half a block away- The Choconut Inn. Total dive and full of smokers- that's why I went for a swim- so the chlorine could kill the smoky smell and disinfect any part of me that touched anything in the bar. We then opened the bottle of wine we brought with us and read on the porch while it rained along with thunder and lightning- an awesome summer storm! Breakfast was amazing! Berries and cream, coffee, tropical carrot juice, I think(?) for the first course followed by the best ever egg's benedict with hashbrowns topped with chived sour cream and fresh blueberry muffins. It was all soooo good! (See pic of first course) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others as well. Just bring books to read, some snacks and your own wine (you can't buy alcohol in PA unless at a bar/restaurant- I know, OMFG!) and you'll have a very enjoyable, relaxing visit.
