The property was charming, we felt like we were home when I walked in. It was Inviting, comfortable, tastefully decorated and clean. The host that we had the pleasure of meeting was very personable and friendly. He gave us a lot of good information about the sights and the entertainment available, along with all best dining establishments which included their very own Blackberry Cafe',. YUMMY homemade fresh bagels daily. Headed back next year, if they'll have us. Thank You so much

Very nice property. As everything was keyless entry, I never met the owners. Breakfast was at their little shop a few minutes walk from the inn. They provided a voucher for breakfast each day to be presented at the shop. Excellent fresh bagel sandwiches.

Thanks to hosts Brian and David for an exceptional long weekend stay in Watkins Glen to enjoy local hiking and Lake Seneca. The location was perfect. Breakfast at the Blackberry Inn Kitchen (cafe) with homemade bagels and pastries was exceptional. And their cheesecake? To die for!

Nice but could be improved

The Inn is conveniently situated, so the harbour, the restaurants and State Park are easily walkable. The hosts are very inviting and the service is excellent. Our criticism is the our room could have been cleaner and the garden needs attention.
