Directions
How do I get to your Finger Lakes B&B?
Please take a look at our Directions page. We have taken the time to provide directions from points North, South, East and West. Do not rely solely on your GPS as often times they do not function well in this area or they may take you down a road less traveled. Therefore, it is suggested that you MapQuest directions ahead of time and that you bring a map. We are able to provide maps and directions for many local restaurants and attractions once you are checked into the Inn.
Occupancy
Is there a charge for a third person in the Bristol or Barn Suite?
Yes. Our rates are based on double occupancy. There is a $50 per night charge to accommodate a third person. This fee includes additional amenities and towels, bedding on the extra bed, full breakfast and housekeeping.
What if we want to use the separate beds in the Bristol or Barn Suite but are only two people?
There is a nominal fee of $25 per night to make up the extra bed.
What if I only need single occupancy?
We will reduce the room rate by $10 per night for single occupancy.
Online Travel Agents (OTA’s)
What is an Online Travel Agent?
Expedia.com, booking.com, bedandbreakfast.com, airbnb are all Online Travel Agents (OTA). Often guests use OTA’s to research various lodgings or accommodations to get an idea for pricing and availability. But, not all B&B’s list all their rooms with every OTA. So often an OTA will say, “Last room left at this price.” Well that isn’t always correct. We recommend you book direct.
What is “book direct”?
Book direct is when you book directly through an establishment’s web site. Quite often you may receive better pricing, be able to view special value packages not being advertised on the OTA and speak directly with B&B owners.
What if I booked through an OTA but have to cancel?
Contact the channel you booked through to cancel your reservation. Consequently, many OTA’s do not offer cancelation policies similar to ours. For many sites, such as booking.com and expedia.com, you will be charged for a full night for cancellation, as opposed to only $35 had you booked direct.
Do lodging properties pay OTA’s commission?
Absolutely. Sometimes almost 20%. This additional costs sometimes necessitates raising prices. But book direct and you will receive the best possible price for your accommodations.
