    Accommodating B & B

    October 15, 2008

    We had a nice stay at A Slice of Home with Bea and Sterling. They accommodated our late arrival, special diet requests for breakfast, and an early breakfast time. They knew the area well and provided a detailed map and instructions to sites at Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake wine trails, Cayuga Lake, and Ithica. The bed and breakfast had additional ammenities not expected such as a hot tub and wireless internet.
