    I thoroughly enjoyed the clean quiet comfort of The Herb Cottage. The location is ideal and the chiminea in the evening brought back old times.

    Well, I do like to go on about things I like, and since I loved The Herb Cottage, it may go on a bit longer! Alright, I'll try to make it short and very sweet... Carolsue, the owner and innkeeper, make this beautiful bed and breakfast even more wonderful with the sweetness she possesses and the love she puts into everything she does. The food was yummy, organic, and filling. Loved her special, free-trade coffee, which is roasted and ground when she orders it, so it is very fresh. Soooo gooood... The grounds are lovely! If my Husband didn't have to see everything, I would have just relaxed in the backyard with a book. Next time. And the fireflies! This California girl can't get enough of those! I am sure Carolsue hired them just for me. The house is beyond charming, and yes, as everyone else has said, it is very tidy. We stayed in the Sage room, and it is airy, relaxing, and beyond spacious. What I enjoyed most about The Herb Cottage, and Carolsue was the fact that I felt like I was visiting family, only this is family that you WANT to visit, and one that makes you feel special, and attends to all your needs, never bothers you, is there when you need them, and is always kind. Some of her first words to us were "Make my home your home", and we did. Carolsue told us great places to eat, magical waterfalls to see that not everyone knows about, and made us yummy popcorn every night! Oh, and save some room in your suitcase, as she makes the most lovely, artisan, aromatherapy soaps which make her home smell like a little piece of heaven, and that also haunt me in the most pleasant way whenever I smell, and use them, now that I am home. I'll be ordering more of those! I miss The Herb Cottage, and Carolsue, and the beauty of Upstate New York. Who knew such a place existed? Go see for yourself, and have a joyful, relaxing time...

    My First Visit won't be my last!!!!

    I never wanted to stay at a Bed & Breakfast, always wanted to go to the big Hotels thinking I was in a relaxed state, but since I have had my first experience at a Bed & breakfast at the Herb Cottage I will alway try to stay at one. When I drove up to the Home I was really surprised at how sharp the home looked and clean I could eat off the floors ( only at my house would I do that) the decorating was very stylish and the owner was so easy to talk to and she made every attempt to make my stay private and happy all at once. The French toast at breakfest was great!!!! organic Juice, organic coffee,ect... the food could not have been better. I stayed April 22,23,24,2011 and I never felt so comfortable and relaxed. I never thought I would feel the way I did after leaving. " I was relaxed " something I never got from the big hotel. I recomend this B&B a must to travel to for your vacation. Thank You Herb Cottage for a new and wonderful experience.

    Pure (and Organic) Delight!

    The Herb Cottage was our first experience with a B&B and I can't imagine anything better! The home is just that, a home. Everything is perfectly clean and comfortable. Carolsue is truly one of the most friendly, funny, kind, and eccentric people we have ever met. The food is unbelieveable, especially the popcorn!! We can't wait until we can return for more fun, food, and comfort!

    Best Bed and Breakfast EVER!! :D

    My husband and I decided to drive up to the Finger Lakes area for a romantic getaway to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We found this B & B online, and my husband called to make a reservation. Just from the brief conversation he had with the super-friendly owner, Carolsue, we knew we were in for a real treat! :) We arrived to a beautiful, immaculate house, where we were warmly greeted by Carolsue and the wonderful aroma of herbs from her gift shop. We stayed in the Sage Room, with a king-sized bed, which was so comfortable and cozy. The bathroom is in the hallway, but was never an issue. Carolsue pays great attention to keeping her house spotless and bleaches the bathroom every day, so you never feel strange about sharing a bathroom with other guests. There is a clawfoot bath tub, perfect for a relaxing bubble bath! ;) The medicine cabinet was filled with nice little amenities too, in case you forgot anything. I cannot say enough good things about Carolsue- she is one of the most charming, fascinating people I have ever met! :) She is incredibly warm and sweet, and just makes the best breakfasts ever! They are all organic and vegetarian, healthy and hearty! She also makes REALLY good organic popcorn for a snack at night! We had such a great stay here, and this is coming from someone who has traveled extensively. We were actually having so much fun, that by the 2nd day, we had decided to stay an extra night! ;) During our visit, we ate at some great restaurants which Carolsue recommended- The Rooster Fish Brewery & Pub in Watkins Glen (5 minutes away), the Stone Cat Cafe, and Moosewood in Ithaca (about 1/2 hour drive- VERY fun town!) Also, we drove out to Hammondsport and went to Bully Hill Vineyards- a "no frills" winery, which was SO much fun! We had such an amazing time on this trip and absolutely cannot wait to come back to this B & B- it really was like a home away from home, and I know Carolsue will be a life-long friend.
