We loved our stay with Ashley and David! We hit the road from Cleveland early for the holiday weekend and got lunch near Lake Canandaigua, then finished the rest of the drive to Burdett. The drive was simple and scenic. We walked in and David greeted us right away. He gave us a brief tour of the common areas of the house and showed us how to order our breakfast entree for the next morning. We stayed in the Empire room. It was perfect for us with plenty of space and gorgeous furnishings. We loved all the personal touches, like the branded hangers, notepads and hand soap. We requested the s’mores and camp fire when we booked and I couldn’t recommend it enough! They had a gorgeous fire set up, just for the two of us, with a carafe of delicious local wine and a baggie of classic s’mores fixings. The grounds are so large and beautiful— it’s also a blast to watch their dog, Hudson, play in the back yard. I loved that there was a guest pantry with water, tea, coffee and snacks. It was so nice to have a cup of coffee to start the day while I waited for breakfast to begin. And the breakfast—-absolutely scrumptious! They had hot entrees plus a breakfast bar with banana bread, yogurt and fresh fruit. The location was fantastic— a quick, scenic drive to Watkins Glen or further up the lake to vineyards and restaurants. On our short weekend trip, we did a boat tour on the True Love, horseback riding at Painted Bar Stables, and a wine tasting at Hillick & Hobbs. We also stopped at Stonecat Cafe our first night and LOVED IT! Such a fun, romantic spot for a few nights away. We’re hoping to make this an annual tradition!
