This B&B is popular with students and parents involved with the two nearby colleges. Our room was very clean and well-appointed.

A recent graduation party and family visit brought us to upstate New York. In effort not to impose…read moreon local family members, we decided to stay comfortably away from the hustle, bustle and stress that large family gatherings often bring. After consideration, we decided to book the Arbor Inn B&B in the New England-esque village of Clinton, NY. Nearing two prestigious Liberal Arts colleges in Hamilton College and Colgate University, this B&B is in a perfect location. Less than a mile from the nearby downtown area full of independent shops, this 1800's former farmhouse sits atop scenically calm rural pastures. The home has since been renovated to offer 5 guest rooms of vacancy. Through it's renovations, the home hasn't compromised it's farmhouse appeal. The architecture, charm and landscape are as authentic as they are pristine. A front porch expansive enough for several rocking chairs that overlook the scenic grounds and an indoor/outdoor dining area in the back of the house that overlooks a distant dairy farm are just a few examples of some of the charm. Inside, the common space is just as welcoming. Two large communal tables for indoor breakfast, an office space with books and a computer available to all the guests, a wooden staircase decorated with vintage family photos and other ornate detailing that all seem to compliment the history of this building just perfectly. The room that we stayed in was equally comfortable, clean, quiet and relaxing. Each morning, you are served a complimentary breakfast of the Innkeepers choice. A Keurig machine is also available for efficient coffee/tea making. The first morning, we had lemon ricotta crêpes served with a strawberry/rhubarb topping and a side of breakfast sausage. On that cooler morning, we sat at the indoor table, conversing with another couple on a variety of adult topics. The next morning, a much more sun-filled one, we sat on the enclosed rear porch that overlooked the expansive grounds and gardens. A serene setting for our final day. Even with such peaceful quarters and location, the Innkeepers can make or break a stay at a bed and breakfast. Carol and Bob though were the consummate hosts. Helpful in their recommendations of nearby activities, welcoming in their accommodations to us, I can't say enough of how friendly and "at-home" we felt during our stay. If planning an overnight visit in the area, this B&B is surely worth a look.

Upon arriving at the suite, we found low slanted ceilings where you would hit your head. One could not sit up in bed to read as there was the ceiling slanting in. The lamps on the end tables hit the ceiling. Our room was never made up and we were told that we had to request, which I asked the previous day. There is no air conditioning in the bedroom, the small living room had a floor air conditioner. The sofa in the bedroom has no lighting. The closet is a crawl space with few hangars. The tub retained water and one stood in inches of water while taking a shower. Will not return.

I'm of two minds when it comes to writing this review. First, this b&b is AMAZING, and Mary (the…read moreowner/proprietress) is a wonderfully gracious hostess! However, I don't want to have to book a room 3 years in advance if this place gets really popular. With that said, Mary deserves the business and I like to see excellent venues succeed, so here we go! Booked a room here (Blue Notes,) while coming back for a friend's wedding. The house is beautifully appointed and very homey-feeling. (Would it be too weird to say that I kinda want Mary to adopt me? It's really that awesome here.) Special dietary requests (I'm vegan,) are graciously accepted, and Mary really went out of her way to accommodate me! Really, I'd have been happy with granola and almond milk, but she went the extra mile! One of the other ladies that was in the room next door likened the place to a college dorm -- which is sort of apt. No loud parties or obnoxious roommates to contend with, but it's a very congenial and lovely atmosphere overall! Can't say enough good things about this place!

Our room was very sweet and cozy. The shower was super hot and the water pressure was perfect. Ann's collections throughout the space were front and center and adorable. I am jealous of her quilt collection! She loves cats, flowers, vintage hats, embroideries, and special little serving pieces. Alan is very sweet and doting. We slept very comfortably! Ann and Alan asked ahead of time what time we would like breakfast-when we came down in the morning the table was set beautifully. Napkin rings, antique salt and pepper cellars, antique plates, tiny antique teacups for coffee. So sweet! Ann served two courses for breakfast and offered orange juice as well. Ann and Alan's style of service and hospitality is something you don't often experience anymore-so thoughtful and detailed. We will definitely be back, we had a lovely experience!

Wooooooooow! What an…read moreincredible Bed and Breakfast! We came here after visiting a loved on in a Syracuse nursing home and needed a place to rest and catch our breaths. Allen and Anne are such incredible hosts. Real salt of the earth people. They were nice enough to attentively ask about our dietary needs, and explain the history of the property. They also recommended great places to eat nearby. The room was absolutely special. Beautiful decor that reminds you of 1920s Americana. The star of the show was the hosts themselves - the food they cooked and the conversation they provided us with were legendary. We'd love to go back.

We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast and weren't sure what to expect. This place exceeded our expectations. The mansion itself is beautiful. Every time we walked around the house we discovered more treasures, everything from the molding to antique pieces. The property has a lovely view of the Erie Canal. Each morning there was coffee waiting or us outside our door on a beautifully arranged tray. Then we went down to breakfast. I hate to repeat myself but the table was also beautifully arranged. We tried several different dishes during our stay, each one delicious. Our host, John and Rebecca, were there for our every need, without being intrusive. After running around all day It was so relaxing to return to our room each night. We asked several relatives to stop by and see the place. Our Aunt was thrilled as she had driven by hundreds of times and never been inside. She was not disappointed. One extra point. They have a friendly dog named Riley who helped us forget how much we missed our own pets. We plan to return here each time we return to Syracuse.

After a Primavera Margarita and a Strawberry Basil Moscow Mule - both delicious - we moved on to a familiar bellwether, the French Onion Gratinée. Perfectly constructed and delightfully flavorful, we were off to an auspicious start. Our entrees were splendid! His salmon had a perfectly finished crisp and my lobster & shrimp pappardelle had a delectable sauce with copious seafood. Topping off the flavorful feast was peanut butter pie which was light and lovely. We were seated at the same table as last night (still cozy) and well-attended by Kari who knew who we were and chatted companionably with us. Dennis once again stopped by (despite serving a different section) to check in. Our experience with everyone from the front desk to the dining room to the manager was nothing shy of awesome! We look forward to returning and will make a point to do so!
