Halcyon Farm Bed & Breakfast
Relax back in the comfortable, high king-sized bed and look out the three large windows which provide a bucolic view of rolling hay fields. The fully adjustable lights at each bedside make reading in bed a dream. In winter keep cozy in front of the fireplace under a fluffy down duvet. Antique desk, love seat, oak armoire, family memorabilia, private bathroom. Other amenities include a flatscreen wall-mounted TV with DVD, Wi-Fi and Crabtree & Evelyn soaps.
Magnolia Sitting Area.
Elegant Schumacher magnolia wallpaper sets the tone for this restful, spacious bedroom appropriately named the Magnolia Room. A Stickley four-poster king sized bed with a Stearns and Foster pillow top mattress is the featured piece. Recline on the antique chaise and take in the verdant view from three large windows which overlook shade trees and fields. In summer stay cool with in room air-conditioning, cotton sheets and Williamsburg matelasse coverlet. Amenities include antique desk, wicker love seat and chair, gas fireplace, wall-mounted flatscreen TV and Wi-Fi. New private bathroom is fully tiled with Kohler shower, pedestal sink. Soak in the bubble tub and gaze out the octagonal window above.
Guests comment on their wonderful sleep in the 4-poster Ethan Allen bed with Stearns & Foster pillow top mattress. A curved settee & wing chair provide a comfortable sitting area. The new ceramic tiled bathroom has a glass corner shower & pedestal sink. Years ago, this spacious but unfinished “hidden” room was mysteriously walled off from the upstairs hall. Accessible only through a circuitous back staircase, it was purportedly a stop on the underground railroad. Other amenities include Wi-Fi, flatscreen wall-mounted TV with DVD, air-conditioning, gas fireplace and Waverly decor.
Large groups will be served a delicous gourmet breakfast at the cherry dining table. The unusual and intricately carved fireplace mantel is original. Antique glass sconces provide a soft glow for intimate breakfast gatherings and several cherished family paintings decorate the walls. Enjoy the view of the valley from three large windows.
Most guests choose to eat breakfast in this spacious kitchen dining area which overlooks the valley (large groups may want to use the formal dining room). A unique selection of antique baskets hang from the vaulted ceiling. Chat with June and John as they prepare a delicious meal made from fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs grown on the farm. Some guest favorites include apple-cranberry muffins, vegetable cheddar omelets, creamy scrambled eggs with herbs, spinach-roasted red pepper frittata, fresh red raspberries with cream, baked parmesan potatoes, red raspberry streusel and wholesome buckwheat pancakes with real NY maple syrup.
The Rose Room has a Victorian flair with gorgeous rose wallpaper, handsome dark antique furniture and its own private bath. The high, queen-sized cannon ball bed is dressed with pure cotton linens, a warm down duvet in winter and flanked by fully adjustable reading lights. The imposing Eastlake armoire dates from the early 1900s. A charming gas fireplace, loveseat and wing chair provide a cozy reading area. Other amenities include an antique desk, flatscreen wall-mounted TV with DVD, Wi-Fi and Crabtree & Evelyn soaps.

My husband and I stayed four nights at Halcyon Farms. The room we stayed in, Hidden Room, was great - clean and larger than we anticipated. we particularly liked that the room temperature was under our control. The inn keepers were very accommodating for my egg allergy as well. we enjoyed our stay and intent to stay again on a future trip

October 10, 2012
Stay at Halcyon was booked merely as an alternative to a Hotel. We were hoping for clean and quiet only. Instead we experienced, friendly, warm, non-obtrusive Inn Keepers who checked to make certain that all of our needs were met in this wonderful B&B. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and cozy. The property the B&B is located on was an added bonus. Our frequency of B&B stays have diminished over the years because too often we have experienced over priced lodging in drafty (or steamy) old, musty rooms and being served last weeks breakfast. Our experience at Halcyon Farm B&B renewed our faith!

5 out of 5Halcyon Farm B&B - Absolutely, totally outstanding
August 27, 2012
We were in the Halcyon Suite and it was perfect. Superb linens and exceptionally clean and fresh. Our breakfasts (2 consecutive mornings) were delicious with fresh berries from their lovely garden, and use of their home-grown herbs in bread and egg dishes. June and John are great hosts. They have beautifully restored the house, most of which dates to early 19th C.; a small portion likely is late 18th C. It is filled with lovely artifacts of historical interest. We highly recommend Halcyon Farm B&B to all discerning adults; we plan to return.
4.8 out of 5A Lovely B&B Experience
August 25, 2012
Our first experience with staying at a B&B was made even nicer by the warm hospitality of June and John Leonard. Halcyon Farm B&B is just about half way between Cooperstown, NY and Saratoga Springs, NY. We selected Halcyon Farm because of its location on our recent trip to the Cooperstown area (Baseball Hall of Fame and Glimmerglass Theater) and a stop at Saratoga Springs. Halcyon Farm offered us two lovely rooms (The Hidden Room and the Rose Room) for my family. Rooms were fastidiously clean and the bathrooms spacious, clean and well appointed. June was very helpful to us in finding a lovely restaurant for dinner the night we arrived. Upon arrival we saw a doe and her fawn out in the field. We had a first rate breakfast with delicious home made corn waffles and sausages. Gardens are lovely with beautiful flowers. If you enjoy a quiet, clean respite than Halcyon Farm is the place to be and we heartily recommend it for travelers to that area of NY State. The Connollys - stayed 8/7/2012
5 out of 5a rural Oasis not far from Saratoga and Sharon Springs
August 05, 2012
We were delighted to find this wonderful B&B. I especially liked having a guest refrigerator available to get ice from and have a nice relaxing cocktail on the back veranda after a big day at the races. The atmosphere was serene and the rooms lovely. Breakfast was a FEAST....We will definitely go back and tell our friends.
4.6 out of 5Great stay with fabulous hosts!
August 03, 2012
We enjoyed our visit to Halcyon farms. Had our schedules not been an issue, we would have happily stayed on an extra night (or two) The room was exceptionally well cared for and clean. Every aspect of the visit was fantastic. Thank you June and John!
