Artful Lodger

Warm welcome in a wonderfully restored house. Would definitely stay there again.

We did a mother/daughter trip to upstate NY. Instead of a bland hotel-chain room, this lovely inn was warm and inviting. The room fee was very competitive with other choices. It shows that the house is very well maintained without being stuffy. The accommodations were comfortable for both of us. The owners were informative and helpful. Staying at such a pleasant place made the visit go so much smoother. Highly Recommended.

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

It was our pleasure. We hope to see you again.

We had a wonderful two day stay at the Artful Lodger, and loved the Village of Clinton, NY. Sue and Tim do an absolutely fantastic job of making you feel welcome and at home. The breakfasts were gourmet and second to none we've experienced at any B&B !

Thank you and have a wonderful summer!

lovely home beautifully decorated and immaculate, warm enough and comfortable. Price seemed a little on the high side, given that the breakfast, while delicious, was not particularly bountiful, esp. compared w. other b&b in the area we have stayed at. location can't be beat.

Susan and Tim are lovely hosts and made us immediately feel at home. The room was spacious and elegantly appointed and breakfast was not to be missed. We were visiting our daughter at Hamilton College -- perfect location.

My night at the Artful Lodger was absolutely fabulous. The innkeepers' have B&B customer satisfaction down to a science. My every question was answered by a strategically placed note and I was pleasantly surprised by one thing after another: the tasteful decor and lighting, the art for sale on the bedroom walls, the delicious breakfast, and just the right tone of hospitality. Bravo!

It was our pleasure! We look forward to your next visit.

As a wedding planner I was so excited to have the opportunity to plan & coordinate a wedding at Hamilton College for a client. Having never been to the area previously, I was delighted to learn just how sweet a place it is. The bride booked us a room at The Artful Lodger and it was simply a perfect location, accommodation and made us feel right at home. Susan was lovely to work with and have as an innkeeper. There was a lot of things going on throughout the weekend and she was happy to assist with any request from the bride, guests and us! The room was clean, beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious..still thinking about the yummy herbed cheese/eggs!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and visit...I would highly suggest The Artful Lodger for your visit to Clinton,NY!

My two sons and I found the Tim and Susan very welcoming and extremely helpful. The Artful Lodger is very comfortable, The Clinton Room had enough space for us with the washroom. The beds were very comfortable and A/C was perfect at night. Only one comment is the Fire dept horn across the green, woke up me twice. I guess the horn was to a call the alarm to local volunteer firefighters to the fire-hall, although.. it didn't wake my sons! Mark,Sam and Josh B Alexandria , Ontario, Canada.

Had a nice time- typical college town bed and breakfast experience- quiet inn, quiet guests, nice setting, well maintained, knowledgeable owners. The only unfortunately experience was the fire station alarm or warning sound between 1 and 2 am that woke us up. Certainly out of the innkeepers control. Did not have the opportunity to eat, was on a tight schedule, but food smelled good.

We stayed only one night at The Artful Lodger, and enjoyed our stay immensely. The inn is richly appointed, with beautiful furniture and accessories and luxurious linens. There are so many fantastic touches of hospitality, from the cookies in the foyer to the shared journals in the rooms. The inn is on the town square, so it is walking distance from some nice cafes and restaurants. Most of the local shops and cafes close at 5:00, so there's not much variety of evening fare on the square. What is available after 5:00, though limited, is still wonderful. (And, if you're so inclined, there are plenty of other places within a short drive of the inn.)

We have stayed at the Artful Lodger off and on over the years but had not been for awhile. We returned over the Christmas holidays and were so happy to find that it was as wonderful as we remembered. Our room was comfortable, clean and beautiful, the food was delicious and the proprietors, Susan and Tim Sweetland, were cheerful, friendly and helpful. Exactly the kind of B&B experience you would want during the holidays or anytime. We remain big fans!

We have stayed with Susan and Tim many times and enjoy their beautiful inn and warm hospitality ever so much!! They take the time to make suggestions of restaurants and activities that would interest us, and a visit to the Artful Lodger has now become much like a visit to see old friends.

Our first visit to The Artful Lodger was also our first B&B experience. We have since become B&B converts and The Artful Lodger has become our gold standard. We originally chose this B&B because of it's proximity to Hamilton College, great locaton on the picturesque Clinton village green, and lovely exterior. We have returned again and again because of what we found inside the front door. We are always greeted by the wonderful aroma of bread baking for breakfast and a platter of delicious cookies. The rooms are charming and neat as a pin, the beds are wonderfully cozy, and breakfast (hot and cold options are offered) is consistently excellent. Innkeepers Susan and Tim are delightful and very knowledgable about all that the Clinton area has to offer. And, The Artful Lodger is a constantly changing art gallery, making for a visual feast. A visit to The Artful Lodger is always a refreshing escape for us.

Beautiful rooms,scenic locale,gracious hosts & Susan's breakfasts are always top-notch.

We have stayed at "The Artful Lodger" numerous times. It has always been a pleasurable experience. Susan and Tim are excellent hosts. And, we have met other nice interesting guests. It is in a nice location for walking to nearby places of interest and restaurants.

I've stayed at the Artful Lodger 20-30 times over the last 5 years. When I;m in the area, I make a point to stay there. The Artful Lodger is beautifully done and the Innkeepers are very friendly. Clinton is a quaint little town,

Service, Location are fantastic. The size of the rooms and ambience are absolutely outstanding. There should be more information of local events, fairs, happenings, maps, etc. available.

The Artful Lodger is the perfect 'home away from home' for folks visiting or delivering children to nearby Hamilton College. The historic village of Clinton is delightful. You can walk from this Inn to some shops, churches, bars, restaurants and the local Historic Society/Museum. Staying at the Artful Lodger is an authentic and pleasurable experience.

The Artful Lodge is both charming and convenient. We walk to Hamilton College or across the little park for dinner or shopping. The rooms are elegant, spacious, well appointed and exceptionally clean. Original artwork by local artists hangs in the rooms and hallways. Professional innkeepers, Susan and Tim take good care of their guests – cookies at night, well stocked self serve beverage bar, comfy living room with lots of local publications. Breakfasts are superb with several delicious choices. Five stars for the Artful Lodger.

I visit Hamilton College twice a year and my stay at the Artful Lodger makes the trip special. Susan is terrific and I always feel welcome and at home.

We'll be back!

Large second floor room very nice and comfortable. Bathroom is airy. Innkeeper offers a choice of breakfast items each day and choices are on the lighter side compared with overly heavy food at some B&Bs. Located off the town square with stores in easy walking distance. Note: most stores and some restaurants close by 5 or 6 p.m. Innkeepers maintained a low profile with minimal interaction with guests.
