We stayed at this B&B during our annual trek to Lake Cayuga for the Wine & Herb festival. The rates were very reasonable at it was only 5 minutes to Montezuma Winery and 10 minutes from Swedish Hill. The Innkeeper was very nice and welcoming. The rooms were very well maintained and surprising large bathrooms given the age of the... More

My husband and I stayed here last weekend and it was lovely! Carol greeted us as we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the house. There were cookies waiting for us in the dining room, and we were invited to play our own CDs in the living room should we want to. Our room was clean, comfortable, and... More

This was our second time staying at the VanCleef Homestead and we had yet again a wonderful experience! The breakfast was delicious and Carol made us feel like we were at home. We're looking forward to staying here again!

The biggest compliment we can receive is having guests return. More and more young couples are appreciative of what a bed and breakfast has to offer, and it isn't uncommon to have our B&B full of 20 and 30 somethings. Our goal is to make every stay memorable so they will come back - again and again! Thank you for... More

We came to the Vancleef Homestead in the middle of winter hoping to catch some of the beauty of Seneca Falls in the snow. Fortunately for us the snow came down the week of our trip and we caught the perfect mix of scenic beauty and clear roadways. We were greeted warmly by Carol when we first arrived and she... More

If I could have rated this 2-1/2 stars, I would have. Although there were nice touches (chocolates in the room, a small vase of flowers, bathrobes), this bed and breakfast just missed the mark for me. We stayed in the Swaby Suite, two adjoining rooms with queen size beds and a very small bath with shower only across the hall.... More

It is difficult to please all travelers, but communication with the innkeeper is key so that we can insure they have a restful and comfortable stay. If I am not aware of a particular need or concern, I certainly cannot address it. We are happy to accommodate special needs and requests. Early coffee (any day) or evan breakfast because of... More

Situated on a corner (easy to miss if you're headed out of town quickly), the house is an amazing traditional colonial with all the trimmings. Delicious breakfast. Overall warm with a capital W - in every sense of the word. Superb!

From the moment we got there, Carol took great care of us, lending an umbrella early on, and then leaving out drinks, cookies, and everything else we needed for a great stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and it felt like being right at home. Breakfast was perfect for the day ahead, and it felt like everything we needed was waiting... More

We specifically visited for the connection to 'It's A Wonderful Life' and weren't disappointed. The Homestead is beautiful, clean, and you're guaranteed a warm welcome. Family friendly with a wonderful attention to detail. We enjoyed home baked cookies and cold drinks in the dining room area. Next morning there was a great breakfast. Our bedroom was large on all fronts... More

We had a very comfortable stay at Van Cleef. Carol, the owner, is really sweet and caring. She paid attention to our needs and did her best to make our stay pleasant. The breakfast was great, my husband was very happy that the b&b had a pool. Fun time, close to vineyards and some good restaurants.

Stayed two nights to do wine tours. Great location between Cayuga and Seneca lakes. The B&B was a bonus. Beautiful, charming house and bedrooms. Carol is a wonderful hostess and her breakfasts delicious. We felt very comfortable at Van Cleef and would definitely recommend to family and friends. Hope to go back again some day.
