We were going to be in Watkins Glen for just one night, and just about all of the places to stay have a two-night minimum - we lucked out that Echoes of the Glen was willing to accommodate us as they had one spare night between two other reservations! The house is lovely and had everything we needed. We even took advantage of the common living area and watched a movie after our dinner. And breakfast was delicious! There was a little outside patio that was super cute - if we'd been there longer, I would have loved to site outside with a cup of tea and enjoy the garden. Overall, I highly recommend staying here.

Staying with Barbara and Tom is like visiting family. The welcome and atmosphere is warm; the breakfast delicious! (Barbara went out of her way to accommodate dietary needs!). The rooms are nicely done with ample closet and drawer space. The bathrooms have skylights ( a plus) and plenty of hot water (also a plus)! We have visited with Barbara and Tom twice and look forward to the next time! Betsy W.

My wife and I stayed here over a weekend in November. We've stayed at several B&Bs in the Finger Lakes and this was one of the best. Our room, though not huge, was well laid out and appointed. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfasts were terrific. Barb and Tom were very accommodating and took a genuine interest in their guests' enjoyment of their stay. We plan to return.

Barb & Tom make you feel like you are visiting w/ long time friends. Rooms are extremely clean and offer a touch of home. Breakfast is always delicious and provides a great start to whatever you have planned for the day! I would strongly recommend Echoes of the Glen for your next trip to Seneca Lake!

The owners were very nice and helpful. The place is super clean. And breakfast was amazing. If you left hungry its your own fault. Our room was very nice. And the owner told of a great place to eat. My husband and I are planning a trip to stay there again.

This B&B is run fantastically. I stayed there almost 5yrs ago and the experience was equal and as consistent as I could have imagined it to be. The owners are very, very kind and thoughtful (same since 2005). They have created an atmosphere that is just clean, warm and very homely. I felt relaxed and welcomed from the minute we pulled into the driveway! Morning breakfast is made to perfection and both Tom and Barb are well educated in the local area as they can suggest quite a few things to do, to say the least... We will definitely be back as it was a pleasure to stay there once again! Anthony & Cydney

Innkeeper and his wife were so very nice! When we arrived he upgraded our room to a king which was a very unexpected but appreciated surprise. The food was very good. I would definitely stay here again!!!

We stayed in the Park Room. Very nice and clean but really small. If you are over 5'10" you will be headroom challenged in the bathroom ceiling, toliet and shower. No TV, small closet. Other rooms may have been bigger. Tom and Barb were great hosts, very friendly. food excellent. Right across from Gorgeous Watkins Glenn Park. Nice place ask about room sizes.

The Merrills are the friendliest innkeepers we have ever met. We stayed in the Park Room on the second floor, warm and cozy, adorable bath with a skylight over the sink and standing shower. Barb's breakfast was wonderful with apple kuchen and fresh fruit (with raspberries she picked the day before) and pancakes and sausages. We liked that coffee was ready in the sunroom when we came down in the a.m. Tea and cocoa also available. We enjoyed chatting with other guests while Barb was preparing breakfast. Barb and Tom are happy to answer any question on the Finger Lakes Region. After visiting the wineries, it was so nice to enter into this lovely home. You really feel welcome here. Will definitely visit again. Lorraine and Edmund

This was our first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and it was excellent. Everything was perfect - nicely decorated, clean, delicious breakfast and friendly, knowledgeable hosts. I liked the fact the you could walk to the Watkins Glen Park or down to Seneca Lake and some restaurants and shops.

We stayed at the Echoes of the Glen Bed & Breakfast for 2 Nights during our Honeymoon and it was a absolutely perfect stay. Our room and the whole House is wonderful furnished and clean. We felt absoluetly comfortable during our stay. The B&B is next to the entrance of the Watkins Glen State Park, so its just a 5 min walk to the entrance of the park, and also many restaurants in watkins glen. Barbara and Tom were the best hosts and the breakfast was absolutely perfect. We absolutely recommend to stay at Echoes of the Glen!
4,8 sur septembre 17, 2014
I didn't get to spend much time at this B&B but for the short time I was there, I was greeted by an extremely welcoming atmosphere. The owners were very friendly. You get homemade breakfast in the morning(to go if you're in a rush!). I would definitely return to experience the charm this B&B has to offer.

Excellent location - easy walking distance to the gorge and to restaurants. Delightful hosts who are very knowledgeable of the local area. Overall a very enjoyable experience and we would stay at this B & B again.

Echo's of the Glen is a great place to stay while enjoying the finger lakes. Barb and Tom are great hosts and you can't beat Barbra's breakfast offerings. We will definitely go back the next time we are up that way.

We had a lovely time at Echoes. Barb and Tom were wonderful and very helpful. They were very accommodating in regard to my food and cat allergies. I was especially impressed with the cleanliness of the house, I never once had a allergy attack while there. You would barely know they had a cat at all!

We loved our stay at Echoes of the Glen Bed & Breakfast. Our room was decorated lovely. It was quiet with a very comfortable bed and great temperature control. The common area was a delight and very restful Barb and Tom were so nice and easy to talk with. We would stay there again if ever in the Watkins Glen area.
4,6 sur juillet 29, 2014
We stayed for 2 nights there to explore the Finger Lakes area, it was wonderful! The B&B is perfectly situated to visit the Watkins Glen State Park as well as Watkins Geln itself by foot. The owners are charming and very helpful with all questions we had, and they do a killer breakfast! Loved it! If you're in the area, look no further, book your stay here, we can wholeheartedly recommend it!

Barb and Tom made us feel so welcome and were very helpful on things to do and where to eat in the area. Our rooms were clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable.

We have nothing but praise for Echoes of the Glen. My husband and I stayed one night in the Chardonnay room. We wished that we could have stayed longer. The owners were very friendly, helpful and hospitable and were great cooks! The property is in excellent condition and it was very clean and comfortable. The friendly cats were definitely a perk! We would recommend it to anyone for sure!
4,2 sur juin 27, 2014
Oveerall, we very much enjoyed our stay with Barbara and Tom, two warm and accommodating hosts. The house was well furnished for comfort, and was fastidiously clean. Breakfast was served on time, and was delicious and creative. For coffee hounds, self-help coffee was available at 7:30am. A large flat screen TV, and board games are available for entertainment at night. From our point of view, the only drawbacks were: (1) the absence of natural ventilation in our room, the Concord Suite; one window was inaccessible (behind the sofa), and the adjoining window had an air conditioner, which we had to use to make the bedroom comfortable for sleeping -- not that it was warm during our June stay, but it was the only way to move the air in the room. (2) Parking in the driveway is limited if the house is full; each car has to park behind another. Also, the presence of cars in the driveway spoils the ambience of the cafe tables on the patio which adjoins the driveway. However,we didn't find the parking situation a significant negative as parking is available across the street, and we really didn't have time to sit at the cafe tables on the patio. All in all, I would recommend this place. They really do try hard to make the best of a historic house, and it turns out pretty well.
5 sur juin 26, 2014
From the warm cookies when we arrived to the hugs when we left, we had an awesome stay. We ended up at the Glen based on a recommendation from another couple who was staying there. When I compared the rate at the Glen for the room we chose to the hotel we had originally picked, I realized that with the breakfast, it was a great value. I would stay there again if we return to the area.

We enjoyed this Bed and Breakfast. I liked the extra details like the bath salts and soaps in the bathroom. The Rose Room was comfortable, with the option of a ceiling fan or an air conditioner. Also the coffee/tea available to drink.

Echoes of the Glen Bed & Breakfast is the ultimate home away from home. I always enjoy my stay and have booked with them for several years now for wine events. Friends and family have also remarked on how wonderful Barb and Tom Merrill are to all of their guests and how the breakfasts and rooms are outstanding. I hope to continue this tradition for several years to come.

We stayed at the Echoes of the Glen in early October. It was very well located for our wine country tour--close to good restaurants, the entrance to Watkins Glen, wineries. The breakfast was excellent. Both innkeepers were very helpful; they live in the basement level. We were amazed that they were full as it was very quiet in our room. The main floor is a public area with a large screen TV, books, magazines, different sitting areas. We would highly recommend this B&B!
5 sur novembre 11, 2013
We had a wonderful stay with Barb and Tom at their B&B! The house was warm and inviting, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Barb provided us with great recommendations for dinner, wineries, and things to do around town. We would surely stay here again.

We just left Echoes of the Glen B & B after enjoying a lovely two night stay. We chose this excellent location because we could walk to the State Park, the marina and to the quaint shops in town. Barbara and Tom were wonderful hosts. They gave us great ideas about where to eat and things to do. The Inn is spotless and breakfast was excellent! We hope to get back soon.

We recently stayed at Echoes of the Glen B and B and would highly recommend it to others visiting the Watkins Glen area. Barb and Tom are gracious hosts who go out of their way to make their guests' stay as comfortable as possible. The B & B is immaculate and Barb whips up an awesome breakfast! Breakfast and all the trimmings are made from scratch...no store bought pastries here! The location is great for accessing Watkins Glen highlights and there are many good restaurants within walking distance of the B & B. Perhaps the best thing was that we received all of this for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Echoes of the Glen.

This was our second time staying at Echoes of the Glen, and both times we were treated to great hospitality, great rooms, and great breakfast. Barb and Tom make you feel as though you are at home except that you don't have to clean or cook! We have recommended Echoes of the Glen to anyone thinking of visiting the Finger Lakes, and will continue to do so.
4,8 sur octobre 14, 2013
We needed a place to stay on our way north and Echoes of the Glen fit perfectly! Barbara and Tom were friendly and accommodating, not to mention fine chefs. The only downfall was that we only had one night to spend. Definitely a place we will visit again.

Great first time experience at a bed and breakfast, would choose to stay with Barb and Tom again before a local hotel.

This was our first time staying in a B&B. Our expectations were surpassed! The place was very clean and cozy. The bed was so comfy that I didn't wake up once all night. The breakfasts were delicious and creative. Love the baked goods! We took a few extras home and packed them in our lunches!! Barb and Tom have a beautiful place and did an excellent job making us feel welcome in it. They knew everything about the town too, which was very helpful because it was our first time in Watkins Glen. 2 thumbs up!!! Hope to be back next year :)

What a pleasant stay we had with Barb and Tom. They asked us often if there was anything we needed. The room and bathroom was spotless with all the amenities we could ever use.

Thank you Barbara and Tom. We spent three nights there with our friends with whom we were traveling. It was the perfect place to go and see the sights and then return for the night. The breakfast was wonderful. Obviously Barbara knows how to make a wonderful meal. It could not have been any cleaner or more welcoming. We loved the conversations. We all thank you so much and will return again.

We had a lovely stay here with Barb and Tom, who were both very hospitable. The home is clean and nicely decorated. The breakfasts were very good and Barb was very accommodating to dietary restrictions. You do have to mind the 11 pm quiet time curfew (no loud talking or laughing after that time as noise travels easily through the house) but of course this is for the benefits of all the guests. We would recommend this place to friends.

Hello bedandbreakfast.com, My wife and I were delighted to find a friendly bed and breakfast in Watkins Glen where we came for my 50th high school reunion. The rooms were clean and tidy.

I enjoyed a delightful stay recently at Echoes of the Glen in beautiful Watkins Glen, N.Y. The inn is close to town and all of the major attractions.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Echoes of the Glen! The Chardonnay Room was light and cheery, and the private bath was flooded with natural light. Breakfast at the Echoes was delicious, and if you went away hungry it was your own fault! We will definitely come back to Watkins Glen and Seneca wine country and won't hesitate to book our room at the Echoes of the Glen!

My husband and I stayed at Echoes of the Glen for 2 nights in May 2013. Our hosts were kind and helpful but not overbearing. The location was nice. The b&b is diagonal from the State Park entrance. It was nice because we went there right after breakfast and beat the crowds. This is not a place you want to be when there are tons of people because the photo opportunities are spectacular. Would be next to impossible to get good pics with people in the way. Breakfasts were good. Very accommadating d/t the fact I have a peanut allergy. Everything was safe. I felt like my concerns were taken seriously. I can imagine it would be that way for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies which is so important. Watkins Glen has several restaurants in town that are easily walkable from this location. Also a movie theater and the harbor of Seneca Lake are a 10 minute walk. We stayed in the smallest room and there was no tv but we knew that ahead of time so we didn't care. Also the shower in the bathroom is pretty tight. I can imagine it might pose a little more of a problem if you are a larger person but it was fine for us. Everything is immaculately clean and I really don't believe you could find a better value for your money. Echoes of the Glen exceeded our expectaions.

I have never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast and my experience was outstanding! I'm afraid every other B&B stay we do will have to live up to this one. Barb and Tom are excellent hosts, serve as great tour guides and provide unbelievable breakfasts.

We had a relaxing stay at the Echoes of the Glen B&B. Our hosts, Barbara and Tom made us feel welcome and were accommodating hosts. We were given an upgrade to a larger room, the Concord Suite, which had a private bath, couch and television. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. There are two cats and a dog in the home, but you wouldn't know it! Thoughtful touches like a visitor brochures and photo albums in the common areas, as well as a small fridge, wine glasses and corkscrew in the hall outside of our room were great - we had everything we needed to feel right at home. We highly recommend staying here and plan to do so again if we are in the area! Thanks, Barb and Tom!

We recently visited with Barbara & Tom for the Deck the Halls Wine Tour and our stay was absolutely wonderful ! Barbara is a fantastic host, knows all the local hot spots, and boy can she cook !

Also, a big shout-out to Smokey, Teddy and Rita - the welcoming committee :)

Our room (Chardonnay) was lovely and looked just like the pictures. We were served a scrumptious breakfast the next morning. The presentation was beautiful. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate were always available. The inn is close to the park and to downtown and the waterfront. You can walk to all. I would definitely stay here again.

We couldn't find a room in Ithaca because it was parents weekend. I found this B&B through your website and made a reservation. The B&B was only 20 min. from Ithaca and was a superb alternate to staying in town. Price-wise, it was a bargain because a very nice breakfast was included in the price. The Innkeepers were absolutely lovely and welcoming. I have stayed at many B&Bs in the past, but this was the first time I stayed somewhere where I actually felt that I was a welcomed guest in someone's home. I would highly recommend this B&B. No hesitations whatsoever. Great rooms, great food great hosts. By the way, the house was absolutely IMACULATE.
4,8 sur octobre 27, 2012
This was our first time at a B&B and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The location was great and we were able to walk to the downtown and the Watkins Glen State Park. Everything else was only a short drive away. The owners Barb and Tom were very knowledgeable about the area and helped us plan our 4 days there. We also enjoyed sitting and talking with them. We stayed in the Park room, which is the smallest (and we knew this ahead of time). It was very clean and exactly what we needed since we didn't spend a lot of time there. The breakfasts and cookies were AMAZING! Apple pancakes, stuffed french toast and omelettes to order were delicious. We hope to come back to Watkins Glen someday and we will definitely stay at Echoes of the Glen again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Echoes of the Glen. Barb and Tom were great hosts and they had really good recommendations for restaurants and wineries. Both were very nice to talk with. The house is beautiful, the bed was comfortable. I think we stayed in the smallest room, but there was plenty of space. Breakfast was yummy and Barb really tried to use local ingredients which I appreciate. Overall great experience, and we plan on staying again next year!

Loved this B&B because of its homey and inviting atmosphere. The owners were friendly and offered many tips and suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. The room was very clean, up to date and comfortably furnished with TV, private bath and fridge in the common upstairs hall. The breakfasts were delicious and presented nicely.

We stayed at the Echoes of the Glen this past September. Prior to our visit, I had done extensive research on B&Bs in the Watkins area and all the reviews for this Inn were very accurate. The Inn is very clean, the breakfast was excellent and the hosts were very nice. Barb and Tom also gave good advice on wineries and restaurants. The Inn is right in the village of Watkins so it's a short walk of a few blocks to the shops and a couple restaurants. The state park is 2 blocks away which is nice for taking a hike up the glen trail. The Inn is also convenient for touring wineries on both sides of Seneca Lake. You can see this Inn is popular; just look at the reservations site and they are usually fully booked every weekend. We'll only stay at this Inn when we go back to Watkins in the future. Highly recommend.

The location was extremely convenient, and the service and rooms were great for the price. Having stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts, I can say that this one definitely didn't disappoint. Having the pets around were a nice perk, and the innkeepers were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

We had a wonderful stay at echoes of the glen. Tom & Barbara made us feel like we were home -- only better! Breakfasts were heavenly! Spotless inn -- comfortable room -- enjoyed the company of the other guests. Location was superb! Highly recommended.

Barbara and Tom are wonderful hosts and breakfast was excellent. Located right in the heart of Watkins Glen, Corning and many wineries are within just a few minutes drive. Walking the glen in the state park (almost across the street) is a must. I've only stayed in a few B&B's but can't imagine enjoying the experience any more than Echoes of the Glen.

We have stayed with Barb and Tom several times now and have always found it to be a pleasure. Great hospitality along with an intimate knowledge of the area are just two of the many reasons we have returned as often as we have.

I've stayed at the Echoes of the Glen on numerous occasions. The owners are extremely kind and welcoming. They make the experience all that more enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and clean. I will definitely book again in the future.

This was our first time staying at a b&b and we were very impressed. Previously, we have stayed at small motels and dealt with cheap breakfast options. This was a pleasant upgrade at a very reasonable cost. Our experience at 'Echoes' made us feel welcome. Most times that we passed through the kitchen area, we stopped for a conversation with Barb and/or Tom, the innkeepers. They both have a wealth of knowledge about the town and gave us coupons to use at the local wineries. We have a dog and two cats at home and, coincidentally, the innkeepers have the same. When returning from our day's activities, we were always greeted by their dog, Smokey, by the back door. The cats, Rita and Teddy, love all of the visitors and are not shy about showing up in the living room (or outside our room) to say 'hi' and receive our attention. I'm sure it wasn't planned this way, but having the pets around just added to the feeling that we were at home. Breakfast was delicious. Barb is an excellent chef that is dedicated to waking early and starting breakfast for the guests. Walking down the stairs at 8am to the aroma of breakfast was a delight. A main course was different for each day. Sliced melon, coffee, and other beverages were available every morning. The breakfast table conversation with the other guests was great. We had a chance to talk about where everyone is from, what the plans are for the day, and to share information that we found about the area. The b&b is located along the main road in Watkins Glen and is only a block from the entrance to the park (no paying for parking during our hike!). The road also boasts many restaurants and other little stores. This wasn't our first time visiting Watkins Glen, but it was the first time that we stayed in town for a few days. We will definitely be back in the future and we know to book early at Echoes of the Glen to ensure that we get dibs on the Chardonnay room again.

If your visiting Watkins Glen, and need a place to stay, you won't find a better Bed and Breakfast in town.

Barb and Tom were excellent hosts. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable, and offered maps, directions, and suggestions to support our interests. Barb's cooking and baking where outstanding. Our room was a little small, but had a spacious bathroom. Also, I think it was the smallest room in the inn, and it was fine for us. We would definitely go back.

We spent two nights ant the Echoes of the Glen and couldn't be more pleased. It was like being at home. Barbara and Tom are the perfect hosts.

We celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary with a week in the Finger Lakes. We really enjoyed the whole experience and were especially happy with our choice for lodging. Echoes of the Glen is really a great choice. The owners help make it a memorable place. They are very attentative in every way. We highly recommend the Echoes to anyone planning a stay in the Finger Lakes.

Our group of 10 felt very comfortable as if it were our own home. Barb and Tom accommodated our many dietary needs without hesitation. They provided us with many suggestions for sights to visit during our stay. I found that the price of the Echoes was comparable to many local motels. However, the home environment, comfy rooms, cleanliness and amazing home cooked breakfasts each day far exceeded our expectations for the price paid. We look forward to a fall foliage trip back to the Echoes.
5 sur juillet 26, 2012
What a gem! Barb and Tom were delightful and welcoming. There were 10 people in our party with a variety of dietary needs, which Barb accommodated graciously. The common areas were well kept, full of charm and local information. Each room was cozy and equipped with a super comfy bed and a private bath. The inn is located just a short walk from downtown and Since Barb and Tom are originally from the area they were full of answers to our many questions. I would definitely refer a friend to stay here and hope to get an opportunity to go back
4,6 sur juillet 25, 2012
Barb and Tom are the ultimate hosts. The Inn is immaculate and breakfast was a culinary treat. Barb took our diet restrictions in stride and made sure each person was happy. We enjoyed our visit and felt pampered by the attention and great travel advice they offered. They are conveniently located just a short walk from Watkins Glen State Park and downtown. The Inn is fully equipped and each room has many amenities not found at larger (more expensive) hotels. We loved it and plan to return next year.

We have never stayed at a true B&B and were a little concerned about staying in a stranger's home. No need to worry! Barb and Tom greeted us as friends and made us feel right at home from the minute we walked in. The Chardonnay suite was roomy, comfortable and clean. The breakfasts shared with other guests were a chance to meet people from across the country and the world - a highlight of the day. The delicious, huge breakfasts often held us through lunch. This B&B is just 2 blocks from Watkins Glen State Park - an easy walk to a must-see site. We would come back here in a heart-beat.

Stayed 4 nights and the room met or exceeded all of our expectations. Breakfasts were excellent and varied. Barb and Tom were friendly and seemingly knew everything about the area and provided suggestions that maximized our time and sightseeing pleasure - Bob and Krista M - Tampa Fl

My husband and I wanted to go on a short trip for wine tasting, and found this B&B while searching online. I'm glad we picked this place. The inn is within walking distance from the state park where the gorge is, and a number of great (and affordable) restaurants were nearby. It was nice because we didn't drive anywhere to go eat or shop during our stay. As far as the wine tastings go, Barb the innkeeper gave us great suggestions as to which wineries to try. We love sweet wines, and we probably hit 8 wineries in a day. There is no way we could have found this many wineries specializing in dessert wines on our own! Highly recommend this place!

Barb and Tom are wonderful hosts. They made us feel so welcome. Barb makes wonderful cookies too! We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Echoes, and will recommend it to our friends and family.

This was my first stay at a B&B and found the whole experience wonderful. The B&B is located minutes from Watkins Glen gorge, a short walk to downtown and the lake front, and a plethora of wineries and breweries are within driving distances. Tom and Barbara were gracious and inviting hosts, whom offered up great conversation, great food and family-like hospitality. Additionally, Tom and Barbara are highly knowledgeable of the area and were great at helping finalize daily itineraries. Echoes of the Glen is a must stay!

The perfect location while visiting the Finger Lakes. Echoes of the Glen B&B is close to the WGI racetrack, wineries, hiking trails and restaurants. With a fantastic breakfast and the friendliest pets, it's only place we stay when at the Glen.

Barbara & Tom were excellent hosts. They provided us with places to go around town and what to do. They also accommodated vegans with a great assortment of food to choose from. They have fresh fruit, soy yogurt, granola and a variety of juices. I would recommend anyone stay here if they were going to Watkins Glen.

This B&B was highly recommended by another B&B when their rooms were filled during the time we wanted to visited for a couple of days. The room was very cozy and cheerful, the breakfasts were scrumptious and the hosts were very helpful giving us some information on what you can see and do! We will definitely be back again for another visit! Caledonia, Ontario, Canada

We stayed at the Echoes of the Glen B&B for the first time. Highly recommended by my sister who is a loyal returning guest, I have not been disappointed at all from what she had told me about this B&B. It's such a nice, warm and welcoming place. Barb and Tom will go out their way to please you. I love every minute of it and have already booked my next visit. Hugs and kisses to Teddy, Rita and Smokey!

this was our first time staying in a B&B. The home was very comfortable and clean. The hosts were friendly and made every effort to make our stay wonderful. Breakfasts were delicious, warm cookies before bed, goodies to take on our wine tour which they arranged for us. Would recommend this B&B and will go back ourselves!

Barb and Tom, and their pets made me very comfortable over a three-night stay in October. Barb's breakfasts were generous and delicious and Tom makes a great pot of coffee. My room had a private shower, the house is spotless, very well maintained and fitted out with quality materials. The location is blocks from Watkins Glen State Park and its famous Gorge. It's an experience not to be missed. Wineries line both west and east shores of Seneca Lake. Barb will give good advice on what to see and do. I would recommend this spot highly.

You won't find another B&B with such hospitable hosts. They make you feel as if you were best friends, never an inconvenience. They are so authentic in their willingsness to assist in any way. We have spent time just "hanging around the house" with them, and it has been some of our favorite times spent there. The house is immaculate and comfortable. The best asset is the innkeepers!

Neither my boyfriend or I had ever stayed at a B&B before. We weren't quite sure what to expect. We were very pleased with Echoes of the Glen. It has great location, beautifully maintained accommodations, great food. This B&B has really placed the bar high for any others we may visit. But the best feature of all were our hosts, Barb and Tom. They are so warm and friendly. An added plus is their extensive knowledge of the area.

Very clean & attractive rooms. We were traveling with another couple and disappointed our rooms were on different floors. Breakfast was okay, but carb heavy: coffe cake, pancakes, fruit, juice, brown and serve sausage. Within easy walking distance of state park and several restaurants. Barb recommended the Italian restaurant for dinner; it did not disappoint. There were no snacks available during our brief stay.
Réponse du propriétaire
I'm sorry that there weren't any rooms available on the same floor for your group at the time of your reservation. We will do our best to accommodate you on the same floor if you return in the future. It just depends on what is available at the time of the reservation. Also sorry that there were too many carbs the morning of your breakfast. Our breakfasts are different each morning and you just happened on a morning of Apple pancakes and sausage. If we know far enough in advance that there is a special diet request, we can get to the store and get what is needed. Sometimes I am spread too thin and can't quite get to baking my homemade cookies. Unfortunately, my husband was ill with a bout of Shingles during your stay so I wasn't able to get to baking cookies that night. We hope you will stay again in the future when I can make a ham & cheese egg bake or special omelette for you.

We would like to thank Barb and Tom for a wonderful stay! We really enjoyed staying here and would again. The room was cozy and the bed was VERY comfortable. Both Tom and Barb were sociable and pleasant, with out being overbearing. We were there for our honeymoon and the location was great. Close to wineries, the Gorge, the lake and all of downtown was right there in walking distance. I would like to note that I am extraordinarily picking on the cleanliness of things, and I was very impressed with how clean their place was. It really meant a lot to me and was greatly appreciated. We would definitely recommend this B&B to others. Thanks again! A&D

We only stayed for one night but we very much enjoyed this lovely bed and breadfast. It was clean, comfortable and had an excellent breakfast in the morning.

We enjoyed our stay and expect to return when we travel to the Watkins Glen area in the future.

My husband and I dropped our daughter of at Hobart & William Smith College and wanted to spend an extra day in the area and so we decided to give the inn a try. It was a good decision. The entire inn was spotless and it was nicely decorated....just a welcoming place. We were surprised to find out that breakfast was part of our stay and it was delicious. Full sit down meal...not just muffins and coffee. Barbara was very familiar with the area and able to answer all of our questions. I wish we had more than one night to enjoy the inn. We would go back without thinking twice about it

Close to everything, especially the area's state park, bike trail, and waterfront; definitely consider bringing your bike and walking shoes.

Breakfasts were delicious!

Well decorated rooms that were very clean and private. Location is next to busy road but the "road noise" was not an issue, could not hear it. Very convenient location to Watkins Glen State Park.

The location is perfect: right in the center of town, walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park and a short driving distance to the many wineries and highly acclaimed local restaurants. Barb and Tom are so wonderful, hospitable, welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. They are always on hand to recommend the many options for things to do in Watkins Glen and the surrounding Finger Lakes area. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the common areas are inviting and friendly. The breakfasts are scrumptious featuring locally grown and prepared items and Barb's homemade muffins and pastries. We can't wait to go back!

Such a lovely home and wonderful warm hosts! The house is spotless and charming. Our room was just perfect for us being on the first floor. The community rooms were comfortable and the dining area was spacious. So welcoming and fun to hang out in the evening after a long day in the Finger Lakes. The breakfasts were varied and excellent. Fresh baked goodies every morning and great coffee! Nice and close to the state park and just a couple of blocks to Seneca Lake. Barbara was so helpful with all her suggestions about the wineries and places to eat. Should we ever return to the area will definitely stay at the Echoes of the Glen! Sheila & Joe Palatine, IL

This is a wonderful B&B. It is impeccably clean throughout. Bathrooms are well appointed and have a generous supply of fluffy towels. The food is wonderful. Every day, the aroma of freshly baked muffins fills the dining room. Pancakes with apples or berries, stuffed French Toast and a ham and cheese bake were featured on different days. Before breakfast each day, I sat in the living room, drinking a terrific coffee to get the day going. Barb and Tom give great advice about things to do or see. Their recommendations for dinner were excellent. Echoes of the Glen is a place one shouldn't miss. The Merrills are wonderful hosts.

The B&B is located right across the street from the Watkins Glen State Park to which we enjoyed a morning of hiking up into the gorge. Absolutely "gorge"ous!

We recently stayed 3 nights & 4 days at the Echoes of the Glen, along with 3 other couples in their Miatas from North Carolina and Tennessee. With our Miatas we were touring the New York State Finger Lakes area, its wineries, fantastic lakes, great scenery and, of course, the Watkins Glen International Raceway. With 8 people at one time for 4 days, we really gave the hosts, Tom & Barbara, a challenge which they were more than up to! The great morning breakfasts prepared by Barbara were the highlight of every day. The sleeping accomodations and common areas were tastefully decorated and well maintained. Tom and Barbara joined the group for a chat most evenings, so that everyone felt a part of the "family". They were also a wealth of information on what to see and do the next day. So, if you are ever going to tour the Finger Lakes area in your sports car, the Echoes of the Glen is the place to stay!

The entire home was immaculately clean. The house pets were friendly and caused no problems at all. Barb is an excellent cook and prepared an incredible breakfast with vegetables and herbs from her garden. After a day touring wineries it was relaxing to sit in the living room with Tom and watch the football game on TV. All in all it was a wonderful overnight stay and I would heartily recommend Echoes of the Glen to anyone.

A walk away from the beautiful Gorge and quaint downtown shoppes, the Echoes of the Glen was the perfect B&B to spend the night. After taking in the Gorge experience, we strolled into the Rooster Fish for some brew. Upon checking in, we were in awe at the beauty and warmth of the B&B. The innkeepers, as well as their two cats and a dog, were wonderful hosts. That evening we ate at the romantic Jerlando's Ristorante and then retired to our comfortable, lovely Rose Room. We awoke to the most delicious breakfast and what a delightful surprise. We wished we were staying longer, but there's always another day! We will certaintly be back for the warm hospitality of Echoes of the Glen.

This was our first experience at a B&B, so we didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful! Barb & Tom, made us feel so welcome. We had the Chardonnay Room, which was lovely, well kept and very clean. The mattress was firm, which is was we love, and slept amazingly well. The home is lovely, and welcoming. The included breakfast was incredible. We loved the apple pancakes, fresh fruit, fresh baked muffins. If you are looking for a place to stay in Watkins Glen, this is it! It's right on the main street, and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and within a 2 minute walk to the entrance of the State Park. Thanks Barb & Tom for welcoming into your home! We'll definitely be back.

Barb and Tom are more than wonderful inn-keepers, they offer their home to their guests and make us all feel very welcomed. This B&B is immaculate and the environment is warm and inviting. Barb serves up a wonderful breakfast feast each morning, varying the menu each day. She often prepares meals with tasty home-grown veggies. Breakfast hours are flexible, and we have also had breakfast to-go for days at the track. Barb and Tom are a great source of information regarding events going on around town and in the region. They have also recommended great places to eat. Our last visit had a fun twist with me needing a pair of earrings and Barb saving the day by beading a beautiful pair of earrings to match my dress, with all of the female guests assisting in the design. Staying at the Merrill home is like being at home; you feel comfortable, you meet new friends - through other guests, and you stay with a great couple who become your friends. This B&B is our #1 choice when we travel to Watkins Glen.

I wanted to do something different for a short get-away and decided to try a B&B. Barbara and Tom have set the bar incredibly high for any future B&B's I might go to. To say that they are totally dedicated to making your experience the best it can be would be an understatement. And just to watch Barbara in action is exhausting! The rooms are all meticulously spotless,the breakfasts are gourmet and the atmosphere is very homey. I cannot get the whole experience out of my mind, everything from the gracious hospitality of Barbara and Tom to the incredible beauty of the area. I just booked a reservation for the same time next year and I cannot wait to return!

My wife and I stayed here for our 3 year wedding anniversary and to get away from our busy work schedules. We had a chance to get to know the innkeepers on a personal note and felt very comfortable here. Our room was amazing and the food provided was delicious. The innkeepers were very knowledgable of the area and offered alot of info on what to do in Watkins Glen. We would deeply recommend this place to any couple looking to get away or anniversary. Would we consider staying again when the time comes? Absolutely. Ken and Shanna Gordon.

We stayed at Echoes of the Glen B&B one evening in the third week of June. This was to be a small getaway for my husband and I while out children were spending some time with their grandparents. We only had a couple of days, so we chose the Concord Suite for our one night in Watkins Glen. The owners are very pleasant and welcoming. We were very comfortable. We have never actually stayed in a B&B before, so this was our trial run. Let me say, that if this is a sign of what B&B's are like, we'd choose this over any hotel. Most hotels are overpriced, so this was a terrific choice for the amount we spent. It was very clean, like being at home. Definitely up to MY standards of clean. Very friendly little pets as well, as Teddy decided to come up and spend some time with us. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, and slept wonderfully after a long trek through beautiful Watkins Glen State Park and the wandering the days before on the wine trail. A welcome respite. Our aches and pains melted away, leaving us refreshed and pleasantly full after the delicious breakfast! I believe she chose my absolute favorite to make that morning! All in all, we had a wonderful stay, and would definitely go back if given the opportunity.

My partner and I recently spent 5 nights at Echoes of the Glen. We found the inn keepers, Barbara and Tom, to be the some of the nicest people we have met in our considerable travels. They were eager to help to make our stay an enjoyable one. Many suggestions were offered as to how to make the most of our stay in the Glen. The Inn itself is a most pleasant house with no comforts missing. It is extremely clean and comfortable. The every morning breakfast was always fresh and delicious. I had some of the best nights sleep while we were there. All in all, our stay was a most enjoyable one and we are looking forward to visiting there again in the fiture.

This B&B is a sheer treat. Cozy rooms, artfully decorated; attentive and thoughtful hosts; satisfying breakfasts; and fortuitous location -- can't be beat! Whether you wish to hike, small-town shop, tour a winery, or enjoy the race track, The Echoes of the Glen is centrally located. Even though it's on a main thoroughfare, the hosts kindly provided a white-noise machine. Our fellow guests, as well as Tom and Barb, were interesting conversationalists. This B&B appears to attract adventuresome, deep-thinking folk. And, even though our hosts had a dr appt the AM we left, they generously arranged for a neighbor to provide breakfast for us. Our stay felt like a "gift." Thanks, from The "Fruitlukes."

What a fabulous find located in prime location right in the middle of Watkins Glen - right across the street from a very quaint ice cream parlour! I stayed here recently along with two friends from the UK whilst we attended a round of the Indycar Series. It proved to be a perfect location both for the local State Park & also for the Race Track. It was also a short walk down to the very pretty riverside marina where we found a couple of good bars & restauarants in which to "wind down" after a hectic day at the circuit. Tom & Barbara, our "hosts" made us all feel extremely welcome & provided a wonderful freshly cooked breakfast for us every morning. They really could not do enough for us & made sure we had everything we needed to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The rooms were lovely, decorated in a typical "colonial style" & the beds were extremely comfortable. All rooms also had air conditioning units which was a great help since we appeared to arrive in what was unseasonally hot weather. In summary a great place to stay where you were made to feel really at "home". Would like to return one day in the future & bring the wife with me rather than the race team mechanics!

Staying at Echoes of the Glen was a delightful experience....the rooms are charming and comfortable and the common areas are very "usable". We always bring our own pillows when we travel and found we didn't need to use them! The bathroom had plenty of room, but the shower was small - not a problem for us, but if you need a roomy shower, you might request the room with the tub bath. Breakfasts were excellent, made with local ingredients and served with special touches - like edible pansey garnishes! Barbara and Tom were helpful, down-to-earth and very attentive to the needs of the guests. It was wonderful being able to walk to the park and to restaurants and not have to take our car. We would definitely stay here again...highly recommended. Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

We were looking for a place to stay in Watkins Glen that would meet our expectations of being clean, within walking distanct to local attractions, and affordable. We were pleasantly pleased when we found these expectations were met and we also found so much more at Echoes of the Glen. Barbara and Tom were so welcoming and warm. Our room was adorable in decor and we were wowed by the cleanliness. There were more than all the amenities we needed and the breakfasts were delicious! We loved our stay and hope to return. If we head back to Watkins Glen, we will definitely land at Echoes of the Glen B&B--a home away from home.

This is a wonderful place to spend anywhere from overnight to an extended trip. Barb and Tom run a great place with excellent amenities.

We had 2 rooms and they were comfortable and spacious.

I would like to start out by saying - I was not paid, discounted for our stay and have never met Barb and Tom before!!!!! That being said this was the 1st time my husband and I have ever stayed at a B & B and this experience was wonderful!! Like all the other reviews - The food was awesome! Barb and Tom have set the bar high for any other b & b we stay at :) We stayed in the Seneca room and it was wonderful. Street side but with the a/c on we didn't hear the traffic. It is walking distance to the park and town. GREAT WEEKEND AWAY! We will be returning! Hershey, PA

We stayed 2 nights in the Chardonnay (yellow) Room. The room and bathroom were very clean. The corner shower stall might be a bit difficult for a larger than average person to negotiate. It was a bit uncomfortable for me and I'm average sized. It also has a skylight which made the bathroom warm in the afternoon, so we showered with the door open and the AC on. On the other hand, it provided wonderful, bright, natural light. We would recommend staying here, the hosts are very nice, very accomodating, and breakfast was good.

Our experience at the Echoes was satisfactory in every way. Although not what we picture as a typical large Victorian mansion for a B & B, it was very spacious and accommodating with ambience. The hosts are very friendly and want to ensure that you fully enjoy your visit. The Nicaraguan coffee was superb!

Upon arrival to Echoes of the Glen, we knew that our innkeepers paid attention to detail. Our room was spotless and very comfortable.

If there were a couple more respectful and kind than Barbara and Tom, I'd like to meet them. We were lucky enough to stay for two nights in the Concord room.

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

After visiting Cooperstown, we spent three and a half days in the Finger Lakes region, and the Merrills couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious, and they gave us excellent directions and recommendations as to where to dine, what to see, what would be specifically fun for us, and maybe most importantly since our visit was limited, what to avoid. We had a great time! They were extremely friendly and hospitable, and the entire first floor was ours to relax in and enjoy their company. It has been awhile since we've stayed in a B&B, and our expectations were high, and they exceeded them. Oh...and the pets were great too! We look forward to going back someday, and have GREAT memories.

We stayed here two nights with two other couples. We are younger probably than most B&B visitors (in our late 20s) and sometimes find it challenging to find a B&B that is comfortable with a little younger couple. Barbara and Tom were so extremely nice and comfortable to be around. They gave great vineyard recommendations, running paths, resturants and all around just made our trip fantastic. We all enjoyed the delicious breakfast, both mornings were different too! Echoes of the Glen is a must! Thanks for the frienship bread, my hubby loved it :)

I decided to plan a brief two-night getaway to the Finger Lakes, for I have wanted to go to "Wine Country" for over three years, but there were always reasons that my husband and I made the choice to "wait" until...... to take this trip. Well, no more, I booked our room at Echoes of the Glen only several days before our scheduled departure, and cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. We stayed in the Seneca Room, located on the first floor, a tastefully decorated room on the first floor. The personal touches, souvenirs from the innkeepers travels to Central America as well as local photos of the Finger Lakes region all tied together to promote a room with a fun, thoughtful theme. Barbara and Tom were attentive and gracious hosts, sharing stories of the local area and their experiences together, offering coupons and recommendations for local businesses and wineries, and providing us with numerous ideas for the adventures we could plan during our stay. Two highlights of our stay at the Inn itself were the amazing breakfast prepared by Barbara....gourmet and tasty! Our first morning, she made a breakfast bread, baked apples with cinnamon, sausage, and pancakes with berries. (My husband and I did not eat lunch and actually shared a dinner that evening....) The second morning we had fresh baked muffins and an egg bake with local cheeses, potatoes, and broccoli. Delicious:) The second highlight of our stay were the adorable and friendly pets, two cats, Rita and Teddy and a dog, Smokey. They were friendly as well as entertaining, we spent many relaxing moments observing and laughing at their antics. We even had the opportunity to take Smokey for a walk before we wrapped up our respite. I would highly recommend Echoes of the Glen to anyone who wants to be guaranteed a lovely, welcoming atmosphere when visiting Watkins Glen/ the Finger Lakes Region.

This was our first stay at a B&B. Barb and Tom made it memorable by offering their advice and setting up a great package for us. Our room, The Concord Suite, was the perfect size and had amenities we didn't expect (satellite TV, bathroom extras). We will recommend to anyone who is heading to the Watkins Glen area! Thanks for a memorable "girlfriends" weekend! Wendy, Christina and Kim

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful B&B last weekend and we were very very impressed. Where do I begin? The owners, Barbara and Tom, are extremely personable, talkative, knowledgeable, and kind people. The house is renovated, it looks simply new on the inside, and boasts all the amenities, including free Wi-Fi (not that there's a good reason to stay indoors on the Internet). The rooms are clean, comfortable, and our room had a TV with tons of channels and a DVD player and an alarm clock with an iPod dock. There are a few small perks that are so thoughtful, like a collection of DVDs and CDs one can freely borrow from and a small fridge stocked with complementary bottles of water. The common living room has a huge TV and we enjoyed a movie and some local wine there on our last night, which we designated as "low key." It was like being at home. Barbara's breakfasts are to die for. French toast stuffed with ham, freshly baked treats, home-made strawberry jam, fluffy baked omlets - you name it. If you want to be nit-picky, the only inconvenience was the (new) shower stall. It was just too narrow to bend down and clean the lower part of one's body. But it didn't spoil our overall experience in the least. Oh, and did I mention that they own a 1968 Mustang? Coolest people ever.

We stayed for two nights and were very pleased with our visit. Barbara and Tom are outstanding hosts and Barbaras cooking alone will make you want to return. Our room was excellent, queen size bed,pillow mattress and upscale decor and bedding, we cannot comment on any of the other bedrooms as did not see them but logically they would be to the same standard. There is a large comfortable guest lounge area with a giant screen tv and satelite service plus a small tv in our room. They even have a small fridge on the landing to put any wine you might want to drink there, including glasses and an opener.In the fridge she keeps bottled water for guests (free). The location is ideal, a block from the Gorge and close to the docks area.

We stayed for one night and we loved it!!! the room is great and very clean. They have 2 cats in the house but they don't let them go inside the rooms. we payed 115$+tax. breakfast is between 7 to 9:30 and includes: coffee, orange juice, an omlet and a couple of fresh home made muffins. Barb the owner was very friendly and let us check out late, she recommended the rooster restaurant that was excellent!!! Don't miss the Watgins Glen Park - just cross the street and you are there. you need 2-3 hours in order to see it and it's a lot of stairs to walk up an down so skip it if you're too tired

We had a lovely stay at Echoes in the Glen. Our room was large and comfy and the breakfasts were gourmet. We enjoyed so many of the areas attractions. We visited the nearby Watkins Glen Park, local wineries and farmers markets. My husband spent a day at Watkins Glen Speedway and we both had a wonderful boat excursiion on Seneca Lake. Also spent an afternoon at Corning Glass. It was a wonderful stay with the Merrills at Echoes of the Glen

We loved the location of this B&B - a block from a beautiful gorge that we hiked every morning. Tom & Barb's hospitality was exceptional, the rooms were comfortable and pretty and breakfast was great.

It is a great change of pace from the hotels that I have stayed at through out the years for business. There is great homemade breakfast, which you certainly can't get an mst hotels. Also, there is great conversation about the Watkins Glen, Finger Lakes Region, Western NY, among other parts of the United States and the rest the world where the innkeepers have traveled themselves. These conversations can be enjoyed outside out on the patio with some of the local Finger Lakes wines and/or even the local "microbrewed" beer (of which you have purchased of course) while visiting the Finger lakes Region

My husband and I had a great weekend getaway at Echoes of the Glen. Barb and Tom were gracious hosts. The house was clean and comfortable, and the location was great for walking downtown in the evening. I would definitely stay there again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent getaway weekend and great way to introduce visitors to the Finger Lakes wine country. Barb and Tom arranged our wine tour package with a very knowledgeable driver, Jack. Jack was very entertaining and targeted us to the vineyards that suited our particular tastes in wine. Cookies for an evening snack while we played cards. Coffee and teas for the morning while we prepare for a home cooked breakfast. The little things do mean alot. Perfect B&B to share with friends or a couple looking for a weekend getaway. Plan to return and check out another season at the Glen.

Echoes is a very comfortable friendly B&B. We went on a wine tour with two other couples. Barb scheduled us for the wine tour package with a driver, snacks, homemade cookies and water. It was great service. She was helpful with places to eat. She tried to make reservations for us for dinner our second night(the restaurant as not yet taking them). The rooms were comfortable and clean. The common area was very inviting. Barb an Tom made you feel at home. She made chocolate chip cookies for an evening snack. The breakfast on both days was excellent and filling.We are planning a return trip.

Barb and Tom made us feel at home during our stay at Echoes of the Glen. Their home and our room was beautiful, clean & neat. The breakfasts were amazing! Being animal lovers, it was also fun to have two friendly cats and a very loveable dog on the premises. As first time visitors to Watkins Glen & the Finger Lakes area, both Barb and Tom were very helpful in providing ideas of places to go and sights to see within the area. We were also within a short walking distance of Watkins Glen State Park, restaurants, bars and other local attractions. I will definitely stay again and would highly recommend Echoes of the Glen to others!

This was our third stay with Barb and Tom (the second this year). We have two trips already booked for next year. From the moment you walk through the door you feel like you're home. Barb and Tom treat everyone as if they are family. The Bed and Breakfast is immaculate and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Each morning you wake up to the wonderful smell of fresh baked muffins or kuchens. Then there's breakfast! Breakfast is usually an egg bake, stuffed French toast or apple pancakes and sausage, with fresh fruit, juice and coffee, tea or hot chocolate. If you have special dietary needs, Barb will accomodate. You won't get a breakfast like this in any hotel. The hospitality continues through the day. Many afternoons, you can walk through the door to the best fresh baked cookies you will ever taste. Whether your sight seeing or visiting the wineries, Bob and Tom are extremely knowledgeable about the area. For those sightseeing you must walk the Watkins Glen Falls. The views are spectacular. If you are interested in a wine tour, Barb offers great packages. She takes care of all the details with the tour company and then provides you with a care package of cheese, crackers, fresh fruit, fresh baked cookies and water for your trip. Then after a day of touring you have a gift certificate to use at one of the great restaurants in town. Jerlando's is a fantastic Italian/pizza restaurant. You won't leave hungry. If seafood or steaks are the way you want to go then try the Seneca Harbor Station. For those into the bar scene or enjoy microbrews, you must try the Roosterfish. Oh, I can't forget to mention Rita, Teddy and Smokey, the two resident cats and dog. For those of us who are animal lovers, they are there to greet you and be petted. If you have allergies, then Barb and Tom keep them out of the guest area.

We were fortunate to have stayed at "Echoes of the Glen" on two occasions. During both visits the rooms were great, the food excellent but more importantly, Barbara and Tom were most hospitable and accommodating. They are Watkins Glen natives and their detailed knowledge of the area is remarkable. "Echoes of the Glen" is the only place to stay in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Bob Bednar

Stayed in Sept '06 - beautiful rooms, unbelievable breakfasts, perfect location for race fans and/or wine country tourists. On Franklin St. but NO road noise in the rooms. The only place I'll stay in Watkins Glen.
