Dear Bill & Joanna — lovely time — thank you.  Looking forward to seeing you again in October! — Altamont, NY

Thank you for having us on Family Weekend. This was my first stay at a B&B and it was very nice (& homey). Thanks. — Cicero, NY and North Syracuse, NY

I had a great stay! My first B&B and … I truly enjoyed myself! It’s also my first time being away by myself! I couldn’t have picked a better place! Thanks for making me feel right at home! It was great! — Bay Shore, NY

Put Apache in harness for the first time, took him around the trail system and into the neighbor’s field between us and the river. Discovered a new trail with him! He likes to be wherever we are. Our friend Bill “Fitz” calls Apache “Fluffernutter” because he’s fluffy and nutty!

This was my first time to stay in a B&B, and the experience was delightful. I really enjoyed and appreciated your warmth, hospitality, and well-organized household! You are the consummate hosts! — Brooklyn Park, MN

Severe weather in the area. Tornado watch from Noon – 6 p.m. yesterday. Heavy damage reported in Moira, Parishville, Colton & points south. Even so, potluck @ 6 p.m. here drew nice group eager to learn about Uganda: friends and neighbors, including a guest from Colombia, South America. Today we hosted another gathering that included a guest from India. The guests took a walk around the inn and down to the river, and saw a fawn! … After lunch, we took our Ugandan guests to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, thanks to the generosity of another guest who paid their admission fee. We were happy to send them off with a few books from our library, some North Country maple syrup for their families to try for the first time, and a love gift for the homeless, provided by those who attended the potluck last night.

As many of your guests, this was our first visit to a Bed & Breakfast. We enjoyed your hospitality. We can only imagine how beautiful this would be in the summer. — Batavia, NY and Warman, SK, Canada

What a nice experience for our first time. We had a great sleep. Thank you. — Cobourg, ON, Canada

I’d only seen bed-&-breakfast houses on T.V. It was a real delight to actually stay at one, especially yours. Thanks for treating us with such hospitality. It’s such a refreshing change from New York. — New York, NY

This was our first time at a B&B. Everything was wonderful! Thanks for making us feel at home. — Waterbury, CT
