Stone Rose Bed and Breakfast

My wife and I had just gotten married in nearby Quaker Street, NY and needed nice local place to stay for the first night of our honeymoon before heading to the Fingerlakes to stay in a friend's cabin. We were warmly welcomed by Lynda, our very attentive hostess, and were very pleased with the accommodations. Lynda had encouraged us to upgrade to the suite at a discounted rate, and we found it both roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed a full delicious breakfast the next day, and then enjoyed a walk exploring the beautiful lawn and gardens on the property. Though short, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay, and we would do it again.

My husband and I went to the Stone Rose for my birthday, and we had a wonderful time. Lynda, Chuck, Frances, and even Scruffy the dog treated us like family. Lynda went out of her way to make us feel welcome, from making us tea to giving directions and even helping to carry our bags. The country breakfast was delicious. My favorite part was actually the fresh maple syrup, served hot. I also enjoyed the bacon and eggs. We stayed in the Garden View Room, and the view was just heavenly. The room was very comfortable, and I was tempted to cancel our plans and just spend the whole time relaxing and reading magazines in the room, but I wanted to explore the area too. We loved Howe Caverns, but one of my favorite parts of the trip was actually looking at the gorgeous scenery everywhere we drove. I would recommend the Stone Rose if you are going to the Howe Caverns area, or if you just want to enjoy a romantic or relaxing escape to the country.

When I first decided to surprise my husband with a weekend away for our 37th wedding anniversary, the first idea I had was it has to be a B&B.I thought of his college town, for memories of us there, the town, and knowing what it would mean to him. The Stone Rose exceeds any definition of a Peaceful, and wonderful B&B. Lynda goes beyond being an Inn keeper.Chuck has mastered this home. Frances adds that sweetness to the atmosphere and scruffy makes you feel right at home. We felt like we left family as we pulled out of their exquisite property, and that says a lot.

My Aunts and I stayed here while visiting Sharon Springs for a Victorian Holiday event. I can't say enough about the Inn and the Innkeepers. I felt pampered, relaxed, well fed and like I had spent the weekend with dear friends. Lynda is an amazing hostess. Breakfasts were relaxed and wonderful, she catered to our dietary needs and made us feel like part of the family. I would go back in a heartbeat -- and plan to!!

Excellent hospitality and service. Warm and caring family here. Beautiful home and grounds to enjoy.

Words can't describe how very much I enjoyed my stay here! The rooms, the surroundings and the warmth and generosity far exceeded my expectations!

What a lovely family and very warm welcoming large & lovely B&B. Everything was beautiful and all the food DELICIOUS as well as extremely generous in portions. Lynda went out of her way to help us figure out the area roads and was always at the read with advice. Things were offered even before you had to ask for them in generous and kindly manner. I could ask for anything that could have been done to make the stay better. Lots of snacks, fridge with beverages, delicious desert with our choice of lots of types of tea at night. The breakfast was incredibly delicious. We love to chat and there was plenty of warmth and a genuine down to earth friendliness. If you're looking for a terrific comfortable beautiful home away from home you wont find better. They are in a great location for visiting many attractions in Central New York and you can actually check their website for distances to numerous attractions. Their brochure mentions that the Stone Rose is a destination in and of itself and this is absolutely TRUE. If you want a lovely place to stay and relax off the beaten path, you'll find it here with BEAUTIFUL and extensive grounds as well as a large pond and old stage coach trail for hiking. They have a premium cable package the Garden View room was incredibly comfortable as well as lovely in it's decorations giving a beautiful yet still warm & cozy feeling. The Stone Rose was gorgeous and I LOVE Lynda's taste and artistic touches throughout. You'll surely love Lynda, Chuck, Francis and Scruffy! They were honestly warm and friendly as well as wonderfully accommodating.

Don't let the distance keep you away from this gem of a B & B. The grounds are lovely, the house is beautiful, the food is tasty, and the service is amazing! Lynda, Frances, and Chuck are genuine and welcoming. They've thought of just about everything. My husband and I were in on business and made it a 2-day stay since his birthday was Monday. We arrived to cheese and pepperoni treats, a birthday card, a fresh flower, and many amenities. With a stocked mini-fridge and microwave tastefully concealed in the room, munchies in the hall, candies upon entry, and more food than we could eat in the morning, we couldn't finish other meals! It was just a joy. Better than any hotel and among the very best B & Bs.

We had to be at Colgate University parent weekend early the next morning, but didn't want to do the whole 5 hour drive from Boston in one late evening. So we went looking for a place to stay that would be about 3.5 hours into the drive. We were amazed and thrilled to find this gem of a B&B in Sloansville, NY, right off Route 20 and not far from I90. Lynda, Chuck and Frances built the house themselves using many elements salvaged from an old mansion - and it is beautiful. They are the most charming of hosts, our room was immaculately clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need, the food couldn't have been better, and the price was quite reasonable. We will definitely return. Everything, from the cooking to the decorating to the outside gardens, is done with tasteful loving care. And the bed was the most comfortable we've slept in in a while! I can't say enough good about Stone Rose and its lovely owners.

The Stone Rose is a charming place, nicely appointed with period pieces and local artisan works. Morning breakfast is delightful. You can relax on the back porch, walk the grounds or take day trips to local events. The owners are pleasant and more than helpful to make you stay as comfortable as possible. For a few days we had the opportunity to put aside our cares and woes and have someone take care of us for a change.

We stayed at the lovely Stone Rose bread and breakfast this past June and it was an absolutely enchanting experience. The B and B was an oasis of comfort, serenity and beauty. From the well manicured grounds of heirloom roses, the beautiful stream that flows through the property to the breathtaking sunsets and the gracious Hosts who catered to our every whim. The service was spectacular, the meals were generous and delicious and the rooms were well appointed and very comfortable. We will be going back again soon and cant wait to enjoy the Stone Rose bead and breakfast again thank you!

Perfect Get away from New york City. Serene and tranquil with beatiful garden and grounds in full bloom. Safe parking for my new car and the most delicious cooking i have ever eaten. highly reccomended !

Amazing service! Warm, friendly family. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had! The room was very clean and beautifully-decorated. It was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway!

Nice piece of property away from the hustle and bustle; hosts were helpful and kind.

We happened upon the Stone Rose very fortuitously during a freak fall snowstorm. First of all, the proprietors could not have been more welcoming and warm. They made us feel like we were almost a part of the family. Everything about the visit felt like we were in an idyllic oasis, sheltered from the elements. The cosy surroundings were just perfect. It was unbelievable that the whole structure was entirely built from scratch and parts of old buildings within the last few years. You would swear you were in an authentic victorian, as the pictures of the place suggest. We stayed in the suite, with a gas fireplace that really warmed us up, both literally and figuratively. The en-suite bath was nicely outfitted, although it was a little small. It had only a shower stall, no bath - which didn't matter at all to us. The breakfast we had there was top-notch - made to order. I can be picky about the food I eat, and the proprietor was more than happy to prepare what I liked. Overall, I cannot recommend the Stone Rose more highly. It was an extraordinary visit. I just wish all Bed and Breakfasts could be like this. We're eagerly looking forward to when we can make it up there again. Verona, NJ

Our stay at Stone Rose was recharging for our souls. We arrived at night to a beautifully lit estate which exuded warmth and relaxation. The in-room fireplace radiated an unexpected coziness to our February get-away. Lynda and Frances were delightful in conversation and hospitality. We have recommended Stone Rose to all our friends!

Beautifully decorated. Wonderful hospitality. Delicious breakfast. Felt very welcome!

True hospitality in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend Stone Rose as a top B&B.

We were greeted with a welcoming smile by Lynda, right behind her was Frances, full of joy. After having been given a delightful tour of their home, they proceded to help us with many ideas of things to do. One of the wonderful things we found was that they thought of everything... little touches throughout that made you want to just sit down and take it all in. There were games to play, books and magazines to read and comfortable seating areas everywhere you turned. Climbing into bed was another experience.. the bed was extremely comfortable and the fireplace very romantic. Looking around the room you see the fresh flowers that were picked from their gardens just for you. You awake to the smell of delicious bacon and coffee brewing, you find yourself wanting to get out of bed to start your day. Lynda with her ever present smile takes your breakfast order while Frances makes you feel as if your Grandmother is doting on you. When it came time to leave, we were given goody bags of treats and hugs... with a promise that we will return for a longer stay next time. We whole heartedly recommend the Stone Rose Bed and Breakfast to the traveler who looks to be treated like one of the family. Not everyone is given the gift of hospitality. Yet, Lynda and Frances have so much love and joy to share that you see that this is what they were meant to do with their lives. We are truly thankful for having had the opportunity to meet them and spend time in their most charming bed and breakfast.

This was our first stay at a B&B and it did nothing less than exceed our expectations. The hospitality, food and overall experience was wonderful. We would definitely come back.
