We were able to stay at Wendy and Richard's marvelous B&B as part of a short trip celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Even though it was peak foliage time, Wendy was gracious to grant our request for only a two-day stay and we are most grateful she did. The B&B is a gem with wonderful breakfasts and conversation to go along with it. I hope we are able to come back to sample each of the remaining three seasons at Country Life.

She makes sumptuous breakfasts and he tells great stories. The place is spotless without feeling sterile. Very homey. One word of caution to the Mrs.: Don't disturb guests in their rooms during the day; couples often escape from their kids so they cane have some 'romantic time'!

Innkeeper Response
It has taken me this long to figure out who wrote this review, but I think it was a "vet" we had here whose business information another guest, who was leaving, wanted. I thought it would be additional business for the vet. I called quietly at their door and she came right out. In 27 years we have prided ourselves on being very quiet and considerate if people go back to their rooms after breakfast-for whatever reason. We turn down , or off, our music, don't use our lawn mower or make any outside noise. We are probably overly aware of quiet time. I truly apologize if we disturbed their "romantic time". Probably a first in 27 years of doing B&B

Life is about experiences and the people you meet along the way. We truly enjoyed sharing time with them.

The Country Life B & B has been a piece of heaven for us. We live only 30 minutes away and have stayed with Wendy & Richard several times just so we can have a little getaway. Their home is lovely and the gardens are beautiful. Our country breakfasts and morning conversations make a wonderful start to each day. Their home is in a perfect location from which to travel through Washington or Satatoga Counties and Vermont. We highly recommend their B & B to anyone looking to stay for a few days or a few weeks.

On a recent visit to the Saratoga Area to do some family genealogy research, I chose the Country Life Bed & Breakfast for my three night stay. This historic farm had just the kind of relaxed charm I was looking for. The Innkeepers, Richard and Wendy, are gracious hosts and made me feel right at home. They also had an keen interest in the history of the county so I found them eager to hear about my historic discoveries each day. My room was large, comfortable and very inviting, with a perfect view of the gorgeous sunset over the mountains. Morning breakfast was served in a group setting with delicious choices, such as stuffed french toast or blueberry pancakes. The country setting also provided a good place to take a long walk and enjoy the scenery and some of Richard's handywork around the farm. I would definitely recommend a stay at this B&B if you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, engaging Innkeepers and a delicious breakfast.

Review Country Life Bed & Breakfast, Greenwich, NY

Photo Album

Large Sunny room with views of the hills and glorious sunsets.  Extra large King bed, color TV, reading area and private bath.  A queen sized bed with en-suite bath makes this room a favorite.  Color TV and dressing table, comfortable reading chair.
This king bedroom has four windows, two looking out on the garden, two onto the hills of corn and oats.  Open the windows and listen to the waterfalls. Autumn is a gorgeous time of year here-the dahlias are blooming and will end up on your breakfast plate and the corn will be harvested.  It is fun to watch the cutting of the corn.
Autumn is spectacular at Country Life, the foliage is brilliant and the apples abundant.  Walk the gardens and climb the hill to the woodlands.  The waterfalls and swimming hole welcome all guests.Our swimming hole is a main attraction here.  These waterfalls flow into a wading area and the swimming hole is above them.  The water is clean and refreshing-beach towels provided.
This wall is still here from an old grist mill from the late 1700's.  It is viewed from the swimming hole and also from above.  The history of it can be related by Richard, the host. This is a view from the pergola-where a porch swing beckons you.  Other porch furniture is available for a quick lunch or bring wine and cheese and enjoy the gardens before going out to dinner.
How about an afternoon siesta with a loved one or even a relaxing time with a good book.  It is shady and cool here.
