Something that touched my heart: + Joe and Roselea's Hospitality. + The kindness of Syracuse fans. Something Good: + Snacks, treats, and breakfast at The Roselea. + The Isabel room is awesome. + Beauty of the Finger Lakes + Adirondacks. Something Funny: Coming all the way to Syracuse to watch Clemson lose and somehow have a blast. Lesson Learned: A #2 ranked Clemson team can lose to an unranked Syracuse team. + Tell your spouse about a different gorge hike before climbing all the stairs in Watkins Glen State Park. Challenges: Seeing everything cool in Upstate NY. Thoughts for the day: Beautiful drive from Syracuse to Geneva and to Watkins Glen State Park along the Finger Lakes wine country. (SO MANY WINERIES!!! SO MANY STEPS!!!), nice drive back through Amish country to Seneca Falls, and back to Syracuse. Yummy pie snacks at The Roselea, interesting dinner theatre (Montana Smith and the Curse of the Golden Crocodile) by ACME MYSTERY COMPANY at the Syracuse Spaghetti Warehouse. Next day, after an awesome breakfast, cool trip to Erie Canal Museum. Back to The Roselea for snacks, pie and a nap, crazy night at the Syracuse/Clemson football game (HOW DID WE LOSE?). Following day after an awesome breakfast again, an Erie Canal cruise in Herkimer, then a drive to Old Forge in Adirondacks to see the beautiful fall foliage, then a pizza dinner from Sal's. Last day, breakfast to go from our awesome hosts, flying back home - can't wait to come back! Felt like home - BETTER THAN HOME!!!    

We had a family Reunion in the area, and needed a place to stay for a few days. What a lovely find! This Bed & Breakfast was so close to everything we needed, and perfect for housing many of our family members. The house and grounds were beautiful and spacious. I loved all the little touches and thoughtful amenities! Joe & Roselea were the sweetest, and wow! - The Breakfasts were amazing! I don't think we've ever eaten breakfast so fancy & filling. We loved every minute of our time here and will definitely stay here again in our future travels!    

Had another wonderful stay here at the Roselea. Took my elderly parents this time around and they were quite impressed. I think I sold them on B&B's. Roselea & Joe are kind, gracious extraordinary people who make you feel right at home. The place is well-kept, the food is great & the location is just far enough away from it all. Will definitely be back.    

something that touched my heart: Meeting Roselea & her husband! Such wonderful people who truly love what they do. something Good: The food! A home cooked breakfast and served to you! And seeing the Blessed Virgin statue in the living room made my heart happy! Something Funny: The organ. It plays all by itself. :) Lesson Learned: Driving in the dark & almost missing the driveway! Ha! Challenges: None! Thoughts for the day: Be thankful for everything you have each day. Greet a stranger with a hello & smile. Such great people in B'ville :) I will be back since my niece lives hand works here.    

We've enjoyed a lovely few days here at The Roselea. Roselea and Joe are terrific hosts. We were very much "at home" here. We had a nice meal at Tassone's and spent some time at the B'ville Diner, which is loaded with local charm and good food. This was a great trip for us. Hope we can come back!
