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!!!    

Roselea and Joe, I have been traveling here to visit my parents family since the 1980's. This was my first stay at your B&B and I can't thank you enough for your hospitality. Coming "home" after missing 2 years of of visits (COVID) was the most relaxing and enjoyable experience I've had - no more hotels! Thank you for 3 nights of serenity.    

Our family stayed with Joe and Roselea for two very comfortable nights. No detail or extra care was overlooked in this beautiful home. Our stay was peaceful and we feel re-energized to go back to the hustle and bustle of NYC and Long Island. Can't wait to visit again - especially when our daughter is enrolled at Oswego State. Go Lakers!    

I was in the area for a reunion and I was fortunate enough to have found this wonderful retreat from the craziness of everyday life. Joe & Roselea made everyone feel so welcome. I will definitely be back and will bring my wife next time. The breakfast is one of the highlights, generous portion & plenty of choices. Pancakes were delicious and was everything. Thanks to both of you for your warmth & easy conversation. The ride home will be easier because of the rest and nourishment I've received.    

This was our first visit - every-thing was wonderful! Such attention to detail. We were very comfortable and enjoyed talking with our hosts Roselea and Joe. Thank you both!
