Hi Lorna!
My husband and I stayed at Vintage Gardens B and B and we were also blown away by this beautiful B and B! Kimberlee and Michael were wonderful hosts and the home was truly spectacular. My husband and I stayed in the Asian Lily suite but would have been happy in any of the rooms because they each have their own charm and character. We have some special dietary needs and as a result we are usually served sub-standard meal alternatives but not here! We had a full service gourmet breakfast complete with homemade sausages and artisan coffee.

I agree that this home is truly unique from the beautiful gardens to service and food equal to 5 star hotels that we have stayed in.

How great to see this. I'm from Syracuse originally, and lived in New Hartford for several years, until moving down to PA (outside Philly). I miss the beautiful areas up there (but not the snow).

My husband and I stayed almost exclusively in B&Bs during our trip to Ireland 5 years ago. It was a great way to travel.

Thanks for the taste of home.

I've been to some in England. I love the tudor one in Newark. Adorable!

Dru, since most B&Bs are part of the owner's home, they usually do have less than four or five guest rooms. I haven't stayed in many B&Bs, but I'd sure like to. I did stay in a wonderful inn in Vermont, that had 18 rooms. The owners sold to another couple who ruined it! : ( It's still in business, but we won't go back there again.

There used to be a lovely one in Napoleon, ND, called House of 1904. The owners were such nice people. The lady had macular degeneration and was slowly losing her eyesight, so they were planning on trying to sell the business. I don't know if it is still open or not. They owned a second house that they used, too, but it was usually filled up with hunters during open season. Napoleon is a really small town (around 800 people, maybe less). My mother-in-law is from there and that's where the family reunions are usually held. We've got one coming up next June, so I'll have to check and find out about it. For me the worst part was the fact of 4 bedrooms sharing one bathroom, although, I was a bit lucky as that time all 4 rooms were occupied with various members of my husband's family! However, the food and coffee was excellent, and like I said before, the owners were just the nicest folks.

I've been to a few b&b's. My favorite was was the East Brother Light Station in San Pablo Bay, right near San Francisco. It is a Victorian lighthouse on a tiny little island. They take you out by boat, feed you appetizers, then dinner, and breakfast the next morning. There are about 5 or so rooms and it is SO romantic. You can see some of the bridges in the Bay area, and the lights of the city at night. Then they make you swim back to shore the next morning to take off the few pounds you've gained while being there. Just kidding....about he swim anyway.

I've actually never been to a B&B, either, but the Vintage Gardens B&B looks amazing. Might have to make a special trip one of these days.

I'm glad you had a fun weekend, Lorna!

I've never been to a B&B, but I like what I see. Thanks for sharing your tour with us. Do most B&B have less then 5 guest bedrooms?

Have a good weekend!
