We were warmly welcomed back to our 'home away from home'. by Barb and Tom. They truly make us feel like family. We have been staying with them since they first opened, sometimes twice a year. The rooms are always spotless, and Barb's breakfasts are superb - you don't need to eat lunch after eating one of her wonderful breakfasts! We always look forward to going back.

Park Room was clean and on the small side, but well worth the price. Bathroom was large with shower stall, very clean, well lit, with the standard amenities. Good sized closet too. Noise from other rooms was never an issue, except when the other guests elected to slam their doors. The two cats were very friendly. The breakfasts both mornings were unique and wonderful. Barbara and Tom were wonderful hosts and we'll be back again. The only drawback we noticed was the Inn is on the main drag, which could get noisy on a busy weekend. Close to local bike path, town waterfront, and Watkins Glen State Park, so make sure you bring both your bike and comfortable shoes. Area has wineries, breweries, and distilleries all around.

Such a lovely home and wonderful warm hosts! The house is spotless and charming. Our room was just perfect for us being on the first floor. The community rooms were comfortable and the dining area was spacious. So welcoming and fun to hang out in the evening after a long day in the Finger Lakes. The breakfasts were varied and excellent. Fresh baked goodies every morning and great coffee! Nice and close to the state park and just a couple of blocks to Seneca Lake. Barbara was so helpful with all her suggestions about the wineries and places to eat. Should we ever return to the area will definitely stay at the Echoes of the Glen!

Echoes of the glen is a wonderful place to stay. Barb and Tom keep an immaculate home. The guest rooms are impeccably clean. Bathrooms sparkle, and have generous amounts of fluffy towels. Each morning, we sat in the living room drinking delicious coffee while the aroma of fresh muffins filled the air. Along with the fresh fruit and juices, the breakfasts were great. In four days, we had stuffed French Toast, Ham and cheese bake, pancakes with berries and waffles with apples! Nice way to start the day. Barb and Tom are gracious and helpful. Their two dinner recommendations proved excellent. They know the area well, and are happy to tell about it. My wife and I could not have been happier. Don't miss Echoes of the Glen!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Echoes of the Glen B&B in Watkins Glen NY. Barb & Tom are the most gracious hosts; their home and rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfasts are incredible; baked apples and omelettes, stuffed French toast, apple pancakes, and assorted muffins and sweet breads. Nummo! Their B&B is located across the street from the Watkins Glen State Park, where one can hike up the gorge. It's a beautiful park! The Echoes of the Glen is a must stay when visiting the Finger Lakes Wine Region.

We recently spent two very enjoyable days at the Echoes of the Glen in Watkin's Glen, NY, with our hosts, Barbara and Tom. I guess I'll have to mention Teddy (the cat) and Smokey (the dog) who also made our stay like home. Barbara and Tom are two hosts who do all they can to make one's stay there comfortable. Great breakfasts and an ideal location with off-street parking, walking distance (close) to the Watkin's Glen Gorge, enhanced our stay. Met some very nice guests at this B&B and will surely return for another stay. Jim & Sheila, Boalsburg, Pa.

Barbara and Tom were wonderful. Everything was perfect, the pictures on the website do not do this place justice. Our group of girls took up the whole inn and they made us feel right at home. The breakfasts and cookies were delicious. Working wiht Barbara to set up the entire weekend trip with the wine tour etc was a breeze and she took care of organizing everything. Thanks again Tom and Barbara for everything! I will be back sooner than later! Sincerely, Lindsay Knepper, Reading, PA
