    We stayed at the Echoes of the Glen B&B for the first time. Highly recommended by my sister who is a loyal returning guest, I have not been disappointed at all from what she had told me about this B&B. It's such a nice, warm and welcoming place. Barb and Tom will go out their way to please you. I love every minute of it and have already booked my next visit. Hugs and kisses to Teddy, Rita and Smokey!

    this was our first time staying in a B&B. The home was very comfortable and clean. The hosts were friendly and made every effort to make our stay wonderful. Breakfasts were delicious, warm cookies before bed, goodies to take on our wine tour which they arranged for us. Would recommend this B&B and will go back ourselves!

    Barb and Tom, and their pets made me very comfortable over a three-night stay in October. Barb's breakfasts were generous and delicious and Tom makes a great pot of coffee. My room had a private shower, the house is spotless, very well maintained and fitted out with quality materials. The location is blocks from Watkins Glen State Park and its famous Gorge. It's an experience not to be missed. Wineries line both west and east shores of Seneca Lake. Barb will give good advice on what to see and do. I would recommend this spot highly.

    You won't find another B&B with such hospitable hosts. They make you feel as if you were best friends, never an inconvenience. They are so authentic in their willingsness to assist in any way. We have spent time just "hanging around the house" with them, and it has been some of our favorite times spent there. The house is immaculate and comfortable. The best asset is the innkeepers!

    Neither my boyfriend or I had ever stayed at a B&B before. We weren't quite sure what to expect. We were very pleased with Echoes of the Glen. It has great location, beautifully maintained accommodations, great food. This B&B has really placed the bar high for any others we may visit. But the best feature of all were our hosts, Barb and Tom. They are so warm and friendly. An added plus is their extensive knowledge of the area.
