Wonderful experience

We were there only one night, but our host Robert made sure we had a lovely time. The mansion and grounds are beautiful, the room large and cozy, and the breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend for anyone except those with little kids.

In town and wanted to stay in a mansion

Place is worth a stay. Quiet at night on a Tuesday however street construction in the morning( not the proprietor’s fault) was annoying and woke us vacation girls up at 6am. Place was spacious and worth a visit.

Terrific service, they went out of their way to make our trip better even after we left. We discovered a missing wallet and they not only searched our room they went to the park where we spent our morning and found it!

Charming alternative to chain hotels in Syracuse

I love the quirky charm of this B and B. Second time staying when dropping off my daughter at Syracuse and much prefer it to a chain hotel. Reasonable price, short easy drive to campus, and a fun frozen in time vibe. Nice breakfast although the coffee served with it could be better. Comfy bed, clean, updated bathroom, love the in room fridge and keurig, new wifi is really fast. Not ideal if you want walkability to shops, etc. but this wasn't an issue for me as I'm simply driving to and from campus. I will stay again!

Excellence with a hint of nostalgia

Robert and staff are excellent hosts. Robert greeted us with a friendly tour of the Mansion. The beds are comfy, big fluffy towels, WI-FI service is fast, the breakfast is outstanding, better than a restaurant. Grounds and home is well maintained. The art, stained glass and furniture are beautiful. We had a wonderful stay.

I had a very comfortable 2-night stay. Robert has done an amazing job bringing the house to life - beautiful stained glass, tasteful period furniture. He was a great host - courteous, friendly and helpful. I had to head out before breakfast hours one morning and he packed me a to-go bag with a delicious breakfast sandwich, fruit, hot coffee, and a to-go cup. I was so grateful (especially for the coffee!).
