My husband and I are not normally "B&B" people- the stereotypical victorian lace decorations, nosey people, and small rooms that are supposedly "charming" have always been a turn-off. But the Black Sheep is the best of a boutique hotel and a B&B in one- wonderful large, tastefully designed rooms, privacy, fantastic bathrooms, and great organic breakfast by Debbie. Marc made...

The Blacksheep Inn is located in Hammondsport, NY. (Just voted America's best small town!) It is in the Fingerlake region of Western NY. Marc & Debbie have redone an 1851 octagonal house and turned it into the MOST comfortable B&B. Every room is wonderfully decorated and include their own private baths. The common areas are wonderful for reading or assembeling... More

The Black Sheep Inn is a perfect place to stay in while in the Finger Lakes. It's quiet, clean, comfortable, spacious, and just beautiful. Deb and Marc serve up gourmet, healthy breakfasts that are a great start to a day of touring. Don't forget to make appoinments for a facial and a hot rock massage.

My husband and I stayed at the Black Sheep Inn for two days after Christmas. Beautifully restored octagonal house (ask about it's history), everything very clean and inviting, wonderful soft and comfortable king bed with a bathroom with great shower area, and wonderful inn keepers - Marc and Debbie. We enjoyed long conversations in the mornings and appreciated their suggestions... More

My husband and I had the great good fortune to stay at the Black Sheep Inn for four nights in late October and found it to be delightful from the personalized welcoming message at the entry to the good bye breakfast some days later. Our room was very comfortable with all the amenities that one would expect in a good... More

My boyfriend and I stayed and the Black Sheep Inn for two nights in October 2011. Debbie and Marc were the best hosts we could imagine! The room was immaculate with a super comfortable bed with all the amenities we could ever want or need. Even two cozy robes for us to lounge in! Another aspect that sets this home... More

When Dorothy clicked her heels together, proclaiming, "there's no place like home", she could've just as easily ended up at the Black Sheep Inn. Welcomed like a long lost friend, from the chalkboard that greets you by name, to the smile on Marc and Debbie's faces, the experience begins. Requests are met with warmth, a willingness to accomodate and a... More

My husband and I had the fortunate experience of choosing the Black Sheep Inn on our recent 5 day visit to the Hammondsport area. The building itself is elegant, unique and charming. However, buildings alone do not make a stay memorable. The owners, Debbie and Marc are lovely, warm and helpful - they are what make the Inn a 5... More

My wife and I celebrated my 50th birthday at this wonderful B&B in the Finger Lakes region back in early October. Innkeepers Debbie and Marc were the perfect hosts...we felt like we knew them for years! Memorable decor, unique breakfast and more at this a one-of-a-kind, fully restored old century Octagon shaped palace. We couldn't have picked a better place... More

I remember reading once about the chef of an expensive, 4-star restaurant who said that when creating his dishes, he kept in mind not the regulars or those who dine at pricey places frequently, nor the celebrities who dined there. Rather, he imagined a couple going out for a special dinner on their anniversary. A couple who saved up for... More
