A Memorable Stay With A Gracious Host

We had the pleasure of staying in the Mae West room, which boasts the most comfortable bed and a truly remarkable shower—easily one of the best we’ve experienced. Breakfast was delicious, the conversation around the table was lively and fun, and the entire atmosphere felt like a home away from home. John, the proprietor, is a genuinely kind and thoughtful host. It was a joy to be his guest, and we can’t say enough good things about the experience. Highly recommend!

The owner, John, is lovely. He has created a beautiful and eclectic bed and breakfast. There are so many unique and varied details to the decor in this historic farm house that you will notice something new every time you pass through an area. The breakfast was delicious and it was a nice mix of being able to socialize with John and having our own space. Thank you for a fun, comfortable, and enjoyable stay!

Best BnB Experience Ever

My daughter and I were in town for one night to tour RPI. We certainly chose well with our overnight accommodations. Although the house is quaint, extra clean, and decorated perfectly, the star of our stay was the innkeeper, John. From the moment we walked in, it was like seeing an old friend. John was friendly, kind and took excellent care of us. His hospitality made us want to come back again....very soon.

John is a very cordial host and he made us feel like old friends upon our arrival. The building is an old farmhouse that is updated just enough to give it modern touches but also keep it's historic character while the decor is whimsical and creative in it's hodge podge way.

Warm and Welcoming Inn

John, the host of the Inn, was in contact with us earlier in the day, to provide helpful information prior to our arrival. The property, inside and out, is very eclectic in its furnishings and decor. It was quite interesting seeing what was displayed throughout this spacious home! Many of the displayed items brought back memories :) which made for enjoyable conversation with the John along with the other guests. The May West room was spacious, clean, comfy, quiet and warm ; as was the bathroom(full tub and shower!) Breakfast was adequate and delicious. John made sure the coffee pot was ready to go, so we were able to have fresh brewed coffee when we went downstairs before eating breakfast. The Inns' location is easy to find, has a parking lot (look for the classic cars) and in a few minutes you can drive into Troy . There is a charming downtown area with plenty of interesting architecture along with bars, restaurants, bookstores and the like. And, like any city, be aware of your surroundings as you wander. A great view and wonderful dining experience can be had at Sea Smoke. Pricey ? Yes, but worth it ;)
