âž»We had a wonderful stay at this charming country place. The owners were incredibly hospitable and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the farm tour, which was both fun and informativeâa really special experience that gave us a deeper appreciation of the surroundings. The accommodations were exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and full of country charm. Everything about our visit matched or exceeded our expectations, and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts, Barb and BJ, couldn't have been kinder. Their farm was very peaceful. BJ gave us a tour of their barn where we met their goats and learned very interesting history of the property. Thank you!
Beautiful, quiet, private, fully equipped apartment in Beavers Dam
Beautiful, quiet, fully equipped apartment in Beaver's Dam, NY. Hosts super responsive. I did not take advantage of the goat barn tour, but am sure it would have been wonderful. Kitchen is great (I cook most of my own meals.) Apartment is quiet. Setting is beautiful. Just be aware, if you are physically challenged around going up stairs, this place is above a storage/garage area, so you go up stairs to a private 2nd floor deck and private entrance.
The hosts were very attentive and hospitable. The location was out in the county but close to favorite vacation sites. We will definitely return and recommend to others. Any needs we had were met. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in.
We really enjoyed Barb & Barbâs place. Perfect for 2 & quite peaceful & relaxing. We got to enjoy a tour of the farm & hanging out with the goats. It was a perfect location for us to visit Corning & Watkins Glen. The Glen area has several wineries to visit or you could find fantastic hiking trails at the State Park. Barb recommended the Corning Museum of Glass & we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the exhibits & watching demos. Tx for the tip!
The room we stayed in was located over a garage. Very quiet, down a back country road. Kitchen and bathroom fully stocked! Hosts were very friendly. We enjoyed meeting their hosts and 2 dogs.
Wonderful farm setting provided us a chance to unplug and really relax. Centered between Corning and Watkins Glen, the location was a perfect hub for us to explore the area. It was so great to see spring in motion in the valley and hills.
Charming residence, off the beaten path where farm life is a big part of the experience. The space where we stayed was well appointed and cozy. The big picture window allowed a view of the sunrise every morning. A perfect couple's getaway
Communication was great before and throughout our stay. The location was great, and it was very clean and the hosts made sure that there was everything you needed. We look forward to returning for an even longer stay!
Barb's apartment was lovely, well-appointed, comfortable bed, natural lighting, full kitchen, dining table.
The setting is also beautiful, quiet.
I will look for this place when I am in the area.
We had plans to explore most of Seneca Lake, Corning, and Ithaca. The location of the farm was PERFECT and Barb and Barb could not have been more accommodating. The rental was the best space for us to launch from and gave us room to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Such a perfect, beautiful spot to stay for our honeymoon!
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay with Barb and BJ. They were very welcoming and friendly, the apartment had everything we needed, and it was a great location to explore the southern Finger Lakes area. We highly recommend!
A Tranquil Countryside Escape at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway
**Review for Barb and Barb's Country Getaway**
My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway. The scenic property was absolutely beautiful, and we adored the peaceful surroundings. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the fantastic food scenes in both Corning NY and Watkins Glen. We especially enjoyed visiting with the goats and chickens, which added a charming touch to our countryside experience.
Barb and BJ are truly sweet and friendly people, and their hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. We also had an amazing time exploring Watkins Glen Park, where the hike exceeded our expectations and provided breathtaking views.
Overall, our stay at Barb's Country Getaway was beyond delightful, and we cannot wait to return for another peaceful and memorable experience.
We had a very good time, the hostesses were very accommodating and friendly
Apartment had all necessary amenities. We enjoyed patting the goats
Unfortunately it was noisy because of the repairs going on near by
This trip was so wonderful. My boyfriend and I stayed here for our 2 year anniversary trip, and had such a wonderful time here. It was clean, the owner was super nice, and I loved waking up to the noises of nature. Definitely would recommend booking here!
If your looking for a place to go, just you and your spouse/partner, I would absolutely recommend staying here. It's out of the hustle and bustle of town, in a relaxing country setting. Beautiful views!! Cell service is not the best and there is no wifi, both of which we knew before booking. It was nice to unplug from everything that life throws at us these days. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the owners, is that there's not much to do in the evening in the area. Everything closes down at 5pm so make sure to plan your day early and you'll have the evening to relax. We would absolutely book with BJ and Barb again!
Second floor apt... What was an inlaw appartment is now a seperate rental. Back patio enterance is very secluded. Second floor bay window allows quiet peacful indoor sitting, secluded open feel. No internet to drag you back to work, but Good cell reception for tourism search (have data available)
Everything was great. I missed messages that came through the site as we were busy enjoying ourselves and werenât checking emails but I will take that as a good sign. đ Thanks Barb and BJ. We would definitely return.
We really enjoyed our stay at Barb and BJ's Country getaway. We went the area to celebrate our 40th anniversary and we were not disappointed. Barb and BJ were great hosts, very friendly and hospitable with their place. The room was really nice and had a great view of the mountainous terrain surround the region. My wife enjoyed morning walks and visiting with the animals that they have there on their farm. It was a highlight for here during our visit. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs they shared from their free range chickens. We both thought the room was cozy and really enjoyed the fire from the pellet stove. It gave the room a nice romantic atmosphere to help us enjoy our anniversary together there.
One "possible" drawback to be aware of is that the place did not have the internet / WIFI as an amenity as listed and that was a slight adjustment as we would have liked to be able to stream some things to view in the evenings. Fortunately they do have good cell reception so that helped s to be able to use our phone service as an internet source while we were there. Another "Heads Up" for others considerations is that this particular place was back a dirt lane that was very muddy because of the recent snow / rain that had fallen.
If those 2 items do not bother you then I would recommend this place to you.
Overall we had a good experience there and we personally would consider returning in the future if we decide to do more vacationing in that area.
Thank you Barb and BJ for sharing your Country getaway!
