The highlight of our trip
Pros:

We felt like dutcheses in a palace.
As soon as we entered our gorgious room, we ordered another night.
This made our visit to the finger lakes an unforgettable experience.
Thank you Shelly and Drew for this special memory 🩷

Cons:

We felt a bit guilty that Shelly was working so hard, cleaning, serving breakfast and hosting. Seams like too big of a place for one person. She is too valuable to burn out. I would Hire more staff

A Quiet Hidden Gem
Pros:

Great stay at Benn Conger Inn. Communication with Drew was very quick, clear, and helpful. We arrived after the regular check-in time, and the self check-in instructions were simple and easy to follow. Shelly was very friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. The breakfast was amazing — the vegetable omelet was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. The inn is quiet, cozy, and charming, with deer and rabbits around, which made our stay feel even more special.

Cons:

I wish I had more nights to spend there.
