    Lovely B&B

    September 21, 2009

    June 2009: It was wonderful -- the Murphys are wonderful innkeepers and their dog Spencer makes you feel right at home. Comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The breakfasts made by Nancy were delicious. You couldn't find a better place to stay anyone!!

    A pleasant escape

    May 01, 2009

    This wonderfully decorated Bed and Breakfast was such an amazing experience. I attend college in Oneonta, and I honestly did not think that there was such a beautiful place such as the Murphy House. The woman in charge of the place was very nice and welcoming. The entire house is neat, cozy, and nicely old fashioned. There is also lots of room in the bed rooms for a such a small house. Breakfast was amazing! I would definitely stay there again, for any occasion or just a nice little escape! Would recommend to anyone. The one thing I might advise is to be sure of any extra charges that might be added to the bill. Besides that, this place was wonderful!

    Warm and Cozy in Oneonta

    October 22, 2008

    Wonderful breakfast awaited us in the morning .In the livingroom there was a cozy fire and soft celtic music in the background. Our reservationincluded our 14 year old son. He had he own private spacewith a twin bed, television and sofa. We were there to see our daughter who attends school in Oneonta and she was just as welcomed as we were.The decor of the home is charming. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return again.
