We had such a nice birthday weekend staying at the property. The location was great; we went to the Corning Museum of Glass one day and to Watkins Glenn State Park another. We had everything we needed and when we were unsure about the pellet stove Barb we right up to check it out. On our last day we had a tour of the farm and got to visit the goats which was a highlight of the trip. Definitely would recommend this place.

⸻We had a wonderful stay at this charming country place. The owners were incredibly hospitable and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the farm tour, which was both fun and informative—a really special experience that gave us a deeper appreciation of the surroundings. The accommodations were exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and full of country charm. Everything about our visit matched or exceeded our expectations, and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend!

Wonderful farm setting provided us a chance to unplug and really relax. Centered between Corning and Watkins Glen, the location was a perfect hub for us to explore the area. It was so great to see spring in motion in the valley and hills.

Our room above the barn was perfect, clean, comfy, and included everything we needed for our four-night stay. It has a large window with a view East where I sat with my wife and a cup of coffee and watched the sun rise. Barb and Barb was always available if needed and very helpful in answering our tourist questions. Our stay included visiting Corning, Watkins Glenn, and the Cornell botanic gardens. All were in easy driving distance. My wife and I would not hesitate to stay here again, and most likely we will in that there is much more to see in this area.

We really enjoyed Barb & Barb’s place. Perfect for 2 & quite peaceful & relaxing. We got to enjoy a tour of the farm & hanging out with the goats. It was a perfect location for us to visit Corning & Watkins Glen. The Glen area has several wineries to visit or you could find fantastic hiking trails at the State Park. Barb recommended the Corning Museum of Glass & we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the exhibits & watching demos. Tx for the tip!

The perfect spot!

We had plans to explore most of Seneca Lake, Corning, and Ithaca. The location of the farm was PERFECT and Barb and Barb could not have been more accommodating. The rental was the best space for us to launch from and gave us room to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Such a perfect, beautiful spot to stay for our honeymoon!

Beautiful, quiet, private, fully equipped apartment in Beavers Dam

Beautiful, quiet, fully equipped apartment in Beaver's Dam, NY. Hosts super responsive. I did not take advantage of the goat barn tour, but am sure it would have been wonderful. Kitchen is great (I cook most of my own meals.) Apartment is quiet. Setting is beautiful. Just be aware, if you are physically challenged around going up stairs, this place is above a storage/garage area, so you go up stairs to a private 2nd floor deck and private entrance.

A Tranquil Countryside Escape at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway

**Review for Barb and Barb's Country Getaway** My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway. The scenic property was absolutely beautiful, and we adored the peaceful surroundings. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the fantastic food scenes in both Corning NY and Watkins Glen. We especially enjoyed visiting with the goats and chickens, which added a charming touch to our countryside experience. Barb and BJ are truly sweet and friendly people, and their hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. We also had an amazing time exploring Watkins Glen Park, where the hike exceeded our expectations and provided breathtaking views. Overall, our stay at Barb's Country Getaway was beyond delightful, and we cannot wait to return for another peaceful and memorable experience.

Quiet getaway

If your looking for a place to go, just you and your spouse/partner, I would absolutely recommend staying here. It's out of the hustle and bustle of town, in a relaxing country setting. Beautiful views!! Cell service is not the best and there is no wifi, both of which we knew before booking. It was nice to unplug from everything that life throws at us these days. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the owners, is that there's not much to do in the evening in the area. Everything closes down at 5pm so make sure to plan your day early and you'll have the evening to relax. We would absolutely book with BJ and Barb again!
