PERFECT: It didn't even take me 4 days to feel home a little bit. The bed is outstanding and the breakfast does not leave any wishes unfulfilled. And last but not least, each of the other little things you did for me makes this a place to return to. Hope we meet someday again

We were so grateful to have this place as we came to drop off our son at Cornell. Even though I arrived over a day late do to plane trouble at least my husband and son made it on time by car ( an 18 hour drive). John was so kind to drive me into Cornell on the morning after I arrived, saving me the trouble of trying to take a taxi. Thank you both so much for your hospitality.
