What Our Guests Have To Say...
Tranquility, breathtaking views, exceptional breakfasts, elegant antique pieces, spotlessly clean, and the most welcoming of hosts: John and Pam ...these were what we experienced on our long weekend getaway. We left feeling relaxed and spoiled by their attentivenes. Absolutely would return and recommend. Joy W
Wonderful old house overlooking the canal of the Mohawk River. Furnished in actual antiques not just old furniture. John the owner could not have been more helpful. Even breakfast contained a vast number of very delicious choices not a single selection like almost all bed and breakfasts. Only a 25 minute ride to Saratoga Springs so stay here. Less crowds and hassle and more economical. I would recommend this inn to anyone. Neil O'Brien
My wife and I went to the Tug Boat Rally in Waterford. We took a chance at a bed and breakfast and pick Oakcliff. Great experience! House is a restored from the 1800's. Lots of history. John and Pam are great hosts, will give you a tour of their home and cook you a made to order breakfast. I will stay here again when I come up next year for the Rally. John
John and Jan are awesome hosts. I felt welcomed and cared for. John maintains an impressive collection of unique pieces of art and furniture. He also makes a delicious and generously-portioned morning meal. The coffee is, sincerely, the best coffee I’ve ever had (and I’m an old woman with a coffee obsession!) I recommend having a cup on the verandah overlooking Lake Mohawk. Verified Traveler
John is a very accommodating host. He wants to be sure everything is ok with your stay. The breakfast was very good with several choices. His home is beautiful and you feel like you're sleeping in a museum! We stayed in the first floor room. The only "negative" is that the room is quite small. But the sheets were amazingly soft. The bathroom is next ro the room and is very nice. The towels were very soft and thick. I would definitely stay here again. L.L.
Charming, beautiful B&B! Our host, John, was extremely accommodating and made our stay so enjoyable. The house is impeccably furnished with antiques, amazing art and an incredible river view. Our room was very comfortable and the attached bath was so elegant! John served a delicious breakfast in the exquisite dining room. A wonderful place to stay...we can't wait until our next visit!
