    A Magic Little Secret

    February 22, 2010

    This is my sixth time at Susan and Jim's lovely B&B. I enjoyed every moment of my stay in this place and any time of the year. It's really that little secret that many people don't want to share as the place offers so much tranquility and relaxation. A beautiful view on a lake and a fall, lot of privacy, amazing breakfast, skiing, fishing, kayaking all minutes away or even with no need to move your car. What else you are looking for? Just ask the owners and they are always glad to help.

    The Best!

    November 13, 2007

    This B&B is the best. Each time we come, this conclusion is further reinforced. Susan and Jim are the greatest hosts, the facility and scenery are great, breakfast is tops.

    Great fun for the family

    June 14, 2007

    My family visited during Memorial Day weekend 2007 and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Jim and Susan, the proprietors, were extremely hospitable as were other guests of this fine establishment. Breakfast was top-notch. All our kids (10 months, 5 y/o, and 7 y/o) enjoyed Jim's magic and convenient kayaking, hiking and biking. We will definitely visit again.

    A wonderful place to experience the Catskills

    June 11, 2007

    We were passing through the area and only ended up staying one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Susan was a delightful person and the breakfast she prepared rivals 5-star hotels. We will be back and recommend kayaking the lake.
