We stayed for a total of three nights and used the Van Cleef Homestead B&B as our base for exploring the wineries of the Finger Lakes and to do some hiking and swimming in the surrounding national forests and national parks.
The place is just lovely and provides a very homely and inviting atmosphere. Carol, the innkeeper, makes you feel like you are staying with family friends rather than at a regular B&B. She adds nice touches to her rooms, which are spacious and clean, such as cozy quilted blankets, chocolates and ice water in your room. There is a very nice living room which guests can use to relax and meet other guests.
The breakfast was outstanding - completely homemade, and changed daily (always a surprise to look forward to!).
This was definitely a wonderful place from which to explore the many things New York's Finger Lakes region has to offer!!!

We stayed at the VanCleef on the weekend of June 25-26. We had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before but we decided to give it a try. Carol, the inkeeper was very helpful and friendly. The room was absolutely cozy and charming. We had a good time chatting with other guests in the living room. The breakfast was delicious and the set up was beautiful. The property is a short drive away from the Waterloo Outlets and wineries. I would definitely come back again.

The hospitatlity here is second to none; Carol goes out of her way to make sure guests feel welcome, and have all they need. Being able to use a fridge, and borrow proper wine glasses made our stay super easy, as we were visiting the region's wineries.
Breakfast is different everyday, home made, and delicious. The rooms are spacious, unique and full of character. Ideal if you want homely base from which to explore the Finger Lakes.

Our stay at the Vancleef Bed and Breakfast was wonderful. Carol greeted us upon arrival and made us feel like part of the home. She went out of her way to accomodate our needs. The homemade breakfasts were wonderful. We woke up anticipating what we were going to have for breakfast. Carol is very thorough and informative. We felt like this was our home away from home. Highly recommend this B&B!
