    We spent 4 nights with Joan and Mike in July 2012 and it was wonderful. The B&B exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was imacculate with a comfortable mattress. The breakfasts were each unique and every dish was amazing. We have stayed in numerous B&B's but never one as nice as Through The Grapevine. We also loved the Finger Lakes and all that the region has to offer.

    If you a clean, comfortable B&B with outstanding food and 2 extraordinary hosts, the Grapevine is the place to go and stay. The Finger Lakes Wine Trail is nearby and fun. Joan and Mike go to any lengths to make sure that their guests are comfortable and will cater to special dietary needs. Love the outdoor hottub and the music. 3-4 cours breakfasts.

    The Best B&B in the Finger Lakes

    September 22, 2009

    Through the Grapevine is incredible! The rooms, the breakfasts, and the hosts are top of the line. Friendly, they make you feel like family. 3-4 course breakfasts are WOW! Harley (Heir Little Scotty) is the best friend you could have.

    Perfect in every way!!

    June 29, 2009

    This was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and I have to say that Mike & Joan have set the bar for Bed & Breakfasts everywhere. It was like staying with family. The room was clean and comfortable and, if you want a breakfast that will see you through all your sightseeing until dinner, this is the place to stay. Their dog Harley is adorable and greeted us at the door whenever we returned.
