Katia & Alex - Manhattan:
"Living in Manhattan we wanted to try to find some peace & quiet so we drove to CT and NY.... and we found your beautiful B&B. The time we spent here was more then anything we expected and we'll be back. Thanks to your hospitality and the delicious breakfast."
Dot & Joe - Hilton Head Island, SC:
"We have stayed at many B&B's. Joe and Kathy are by far the most hospitable hosts we have ever met. After our daughter's wedding they welcomed our friends and family into their home, making a very special day even more special. Joe and Kathy - you made our stay an experience that we will never forget. Our sincere thanks."
Marty - Albany, NY:
"You made traveling for business pleasurable. The soft music, votive candlelight and lovely aromas throughout your home, create a wonderfully relaxing environment. I look forward to returning. Thank you for this midweek respite!"
Landi & Paul - Montville, NJ:
"We were just commenting this morning, as we enjoyed your delicious scones that we never visited a B&B where so much personal attention was lavished on the guests. Your home is lovely and the two of you certainly epitomize the concept of "hospitality". Thank you for helping to make our little mini-vacation special."
Kate & Martin - London, UK:
"We were supposed to leave this morning, but have so enjoyed being here that we're staying another night. We have really appreciated your warm hospitality & advice on things to do & places to eat. The breakfasts have been great & we've enjoyed trying to walk them off in the countryside of the Hudson Valley. Thank you so much."
Brian & Tanya - NYC & Los Angeles:
"If someone were to ask our definition of the perfect get-away, we would have two words for them "The Dominion House"! This place is great, the charm, the beauty and the scones! Thank you so much for your hospitality.".
Lynda & David - Rochester, NY:
"This is one of the best birthday gifts ever received! The scenery, the peace, the graceful hosts, lovely home & delicious food spoiled us so. Thank you so much."
Mary & Colin:
"This was our first time staying at a "bed & breakfast", so you have the distinction of setting the standard for us and I must say that it is indeed a high one. Every aspect of our experience has been exceptional - especially the meals!! You both are exemplary hosts, making every effort to extend yourselves to guests and accommodate their wants and needs. It's a different feeling when you're in someone's actual home and one can't help but respond to that. We will be back." [and they were]
Marian & Eugene - Brooklyn:
"If I had to describe it with one word, that would be - Oasis."
Laura & Kerry - Lewiston, NY:
"We had a wonderful night at your home. We played billiards, lounged in the library and slept like logs. The food was excellent and we enjoyed your good conversation. Thank you for everything".
Neil - Australia:
"Thank you very much for a wonderful couple of days. If your ever "Down Under", Please look me up."
Beth & Anthony - Manorville, NY:
"We've been coming to Orange County for many years and have stayed at numerous B&B's along the way and I am happy to say that yours is the most beautifully furnished home we've been to yet. The house is gorgeous and both of your were amazingly hospitable and gracious. We very much enjoyed our stay here. We'll definitely be coming back."
