We were very comfortable staying at the VanCleef. The host, Carol, provided a clean, well decorated comfortable place to stay and a delicious breakfast in the morning. Very accommodating and flixible.

Great place to stay! Has a calm, comfortable, and intimate atmosphere. I would go back! Didn't eat there so I can't give a rating on the food, but the coffee was great.

Our stay at Van Cleef Homestead B & B was great. The rooms were comfortable with nice extras that were unexpected (chocolates and ice water in the room). The breakfast which was served family style was delicious and more food than we expected. The dining room was available to guests 24/7 with water for hot and cold beverages and snacks and there was a small refrigerator available for guest use. The location was convenient to the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. A great value for the price. We would definitely stay again.
