We stayed here and the Brian & Betsy were wonderful. The food was great, as was the coffee. Everything was beautiful. We have two rambunctious boys and they had a wonderful time with all the animals, especially Ned! If the weather was bad, they had a giant tv with a ton of movies to watch. Can not wait to go...

Betsy and Brian are awesome. And their lambs are adorable. Handsome Brook Farm is such perfect getaway from the city. Betsy loves to bake and to share what she bakes. Most of the food you'll enjoy is grown right there in the farm. The home is spacious yet cozy and has plenty of board games and movies for entertainment. It's... More

I can't list enough awesome things about this place: 1) Incredibly kind and helpful owners 2) Delicious breakfasts 3) Seclusion and beautiful scenery 4) Adorable farm animals that you can feed and interact with 5) Close to some very charming and isolated Central NY towns. I've stayed at this place twice already and will be going back many more times.... More

this b&b has betsy, bryan, breakfast, blueberries, babbling brook, baby bull and enough sheep and chickens to feed and pet and play with to make anyone happy!!! besty and bryan are sweet and welcoming and had lots of stories and info to share. breakfast was ridiculous--eggs freshly "plucked" by me, pancakes, bacon, syrup made here on the farm... soooo good....

We felt like we were family as soon as we talked to Bryan and Betsy on the phone. We were actually visiting to see our daughter in a play at Franklin Stage Co. My only regret is that we did not plan on staying for the entire weekend. What a wonderful experience this has been. Even as a 59 year... More

We visited Handsome Brook in mid-August with our almost 5 year old twins who are quite rambunctious. The property is wonderful, and the boys loved feeding the animals and playing in the brook. And Bryan and Betsey could not be more gracious hosts. The particular weekend we stayed, however, was not ideal for our family. It was difficult to keep... More

While planning a trip to the Adirondacks to camp with my daughter, I realized that I would need a place to stay both going and coming. How fortunate I was to find Handsome Brook Farm. While Betsy did not have availability for my outbound night, she recommended a very nice B & B in the area. I am so glad... More

It is rare to find a B&B that not only accommodates children, but welcomes them. The moment we arrived our son was feeding baby calf Rusty a bottle of milk, hunting for eggs all around the farm, and feeding the sheep and pigs. Bryan and Betsy make you feel like their dear friends who popped in for the weekend -... More

I can't say enough good things about our recent stay at this wonderful B&B. What I enjoyed most was sitting under lovely trees, on a beautiful lawn, listening to the babbling-brook, while the sheep grazed and the chickens clucked. The remarkable starry night sky, so far from city lights, was a close second. Betsy and Bryan were gracious hosts, full... More
