There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. It was also great to be located right in the center of the town i grew up in. We will definitely plan on staying there again!

From the owner: We are an unconventional B&B in that you are getting an apartment to stay in. Our motto is, "A…read morewhole apartment for the price of a room." Breakfast items are provided for you to choose from, including cereal, eggs, milk, juices, coffee and tea, and a homemade baked good. The B&B has two bedrooms, full bath, and a living, dining area that includes a kitchen fully stocked for cooking and dining. In the summer there is an air conditioner that cools the entire apartment. The B&B is located on the second floor of a building that previously housed a printing business. The building is located on the main street of Gilbertsville, Commercial Street, and is one of the buildings included in the Historical Registry of the village.

Homemade soups, awesome chili, fancy Chicago Dog on worlds best bun, incredible and HUGE chicken salad sandwich all served in quaint (but not too "foofy") dining room in old classic home. New Berlin looks like its fallen/falling on some hard times, hopefully this quality place survives! We will plan our next trip up to make it to a Friday Fish Fry, I'm sure it will be wonderful. One tip, hard to tell its a cafe when driving through town, so keep your eyes peeled!

I've been meaning to try their fish fry for a few years now. Last weekend, I decided to run in and…read moregrab a fish fry dinner to go. I was greeted by a very pleasant young host, and she quickly found a waitress to take my order. I figured I would have some time while waiting, so I started to explore other areas of the building, besides the front hallway. There is a nice little cafe/dining area consisting of (I believe) two rooms, and there were also people dining outside on the front porch, where the tables have umbrellas. This old building has charm, and I think they have guest rooms upstairs. Just as I began poking around a room that I realized was an antique shop, the waitress came and found me, and my dinner was ready. Definitely a nice experience at this place. I took the food home, and I was satisfied. The very large piece of haddock was nicely breaded and tasty. The baked potato was also very good - I think it was baked with sea salt, resulting in a very flavorful skin. The cole slaw had pineapple in it. I thought this was weird, but when I finished it, I definitely wanted more. I think this meal cost $12 and change, and I felt that it was a good value. This is a solid spot for Friday fish fry, especially considering the surrounding area. I'll be back, not only because of the food, but the service and character.

The decorations in most B&B's don't really appeal to most people in their mid-twenties, especially male. I wanted something historic but decorated in a way that wouldn't make a young, Manhattan-based couple feel out of place. When I came Catskills Escape, I was hooked. The 1865 farmhouse is restored beautifully and decorated with simple elegance. We stayed in the Ginseng Room, which had eight windows (eight!), a secretary desk I wanted to take home with me, and a bathroom with a claw-foot tub. The photos from the website were accurate, though I found the room even nicer than the pictures implied. The owners and their children were very welcoming. They made us a Grand Marnier Soufflé for breakfast, served alongside homemade granola and fresh fruit. Randy, one of the inn-keepers, pointed us in the right direction for a walk where we saw newts and deer. He also let us know about the Franklin Farmers Market, which we visited Sunday morning. At his recommendation we tried the cardamom twists, which were delicious. I'm already trying to come up with another excuse to go upstate and stay at Catskills Escape again.

My bedroom, the Small room, was…read moreextremely comfortable with a comfortable Queen size bed, very efficient air conditioning, and a bathroom/shower with plentiful warm water. Each morning's amazing breakfast was exceptional and my hosts Roland/Steve were very accommodating, If I was ever hungry, it would have been my own fault, but each morning's breakfast got me started in fine fashion! One morning my hosts allowed my sister to enjoy the breakfast with me, even though she was not a guest. The Inn is an oasis from the busy world and while I was staying there it allowed me to finish one book, and take in all the ambiance of a richly appointed Inn. The Portobello is ideally situated so that I could easily get to Utica, Herkimer, and the wonderful Little Falls Canal Days celebration during my stay, Driving a car is a delight in the Mohawk Valley! Just an ideal place to stay full of peace, quiet, and friendly conversation. Thanks Roland and Steve!

But Kate and Dan structured our stay to feel safe without feeling restricted. They have a great setup of six family size tents that are distanced enough to allow us to enjoy nature in solitude. They combine the best parts of camping, cabin life and a bed and breakfast. We took our two kids (five and eight years old) and they had a ball playing in the creek, swimming in the pond, playing with the dogs. In short, it's a perfect place for kids to experience the simple joys of being kids. The tents are rustic enough for an outdoorsman but comfortable enough for someone who prefers sleeping indoors. Cooking meals on your own wood-burning stove takes a bit longer, yes, but the locally sourced food is amazing. Friday night pizza night is the big event of the week. Wood-fired oven pizzas, delicious salads from the gardens and bring your own wine. And the Saturday farm breakfast hits the spot if you're dragging a bit from the previous evening's festivities. We highly recommend Stony Creek as a getaway and hope to be back next year. Thanks, Kate and Dan!

She's now 8 and we can't stop her from running. We look forward to this trip every single year. The kids love it- my 10 year old told me that this was her favorite trip and we have paid much more and traveled much further than this. The adults love giving the kids their privacy and independence. The kids are able to hike, walk the creek, collect eggs, visit the animals, milk the cow.. and the adults just need to sit back and relax. The farm store has everything you need if you want to pack light. Kate and Dan, the owners, are commited to sustainable farming and education- the kids always learn something. Save room for pizza night- it's always delicious. The tents sleep a family of 6 comfortably with a king size bed, two single bunks, and a cabinet bed suitable for two younger kids. When we needed it, there was room for a pack and play (which the farm does have on hand if you need it). Don't hesitate to book here- we've been here for all seasons- the first to check in and the last to check out. It's always pleasant. We're already looking forward to next year.

When I first opened the door I was impressed by the size of the room, huge is all I can say. The bed was warm and cozy, buy was I tired after a long day.

The Inn also provided a Continental Breakfast, and the best thing ever for a morning, a Kureg coffee maker with a selection of various coffees. The host was amazing, showing us the rooms and describing anything we might need to know. The place is Amazing and I suggest a stay when ever you're in the area.
