In a setting of 9000 square miles, there are 11 Lakes and over 1000 waterfalls and numerous gorges, which were formed at the end of the ice age when tremendous grinding pressures gouged enormous holes in the land forming what is now the Finger Lakes region of “Up State New York”. These amazing Lakes range from 3 miles (5km) to 40 miles (64km) in length and from 30 feet (10m) to over 632 feet (194m) in depth! Native American Legend says that the Fingers Lakes were the impression left behind by the creator when he reached down to bless the land. Whatever the truth, the Finger Lakes are a wonderful place to Escape to, to “Just get away” and where you can relax and do either very little or do a lot. To explore the many exciting places dotted around the region and to have that perfect vacation.

Whilst you are here, why not take a leisurely drive or wine tour to visit some of over 70 award winning wineries and Vineyards, which have joined together to form five wine trails.

Visit the many festivals, craft fairs, Museums, Historic Sites and other activities that take place throughout the year or simply enjoy the hospitality of the people of the Finger Lakes. For the more active and adventurous visitors to the region, there are numerous summer adventure activities such as canoeing, kayak, sailing, wind surfing, hiking around the 25 State Parks to take in the Natural beauty, swimming or why not take a cruise on Seneca Lake or Cayuga Lake or visit the Red Newt Winery in Hector which not only has stunning wines created by David Whiting but also offers some of the finest cuisine available in the region, expertly prepared by Chef Debra Whiting and all dishes served at affordable prices?

There are also several first class golf courses nearby including the Seneca Lake Country Club where you can also hire golfing equipment. If you stay at Cobtree and are bringing your own golf clubs, we have arranged with the Geneva Country Club for you to use their otherwise private facilities on a pay as you go basis.

So little time yet so much to do and that’s’ just in the spring and summer! During the fall and through the winter the experience continues with the spectacular scenery of changing colors of Autumn leaves on the trees, the harvest of crops and grapes for wine production, Halloween and Pre Christmas shopping and when the snow finally arrives, Skiing, tobogganing, sleigh rides or snow mobiles.

Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast

Monday, April 28th, 2008


Website: http://www.atjuniperhill.com
Address: 16 Elm Street Trumansburg, NY 14886 (Upstate NY & Finger Lakes Region)
Phone: 607.387.3044 or 888.809.3167
Email: http://www.atjuniperhill.com/contact_juniper_hill.php

The perfect setting for relaxation, romance, intimate celebration and a tranquil retreat from everyday life.

We have been renovating and rejuvenating Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast in Upstate New York for the past year in anticipation of guests starting May 2007. Our Inn, a historic circa 1921 Federal/Colonial Revival design, was modeled after the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg.

Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast and American Impressionist Art Gallery is nestled on nearly four acres and is within easy walking distance to the Main Street of Trumansburg, NY. Formerly known as the historic Biggs Mansion, Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast offers quiet privacy yet convenient access to Ithaca shops and fine dining, Cornell University and Ithaca State College. Enjoy the beautiful Finger Lakes in upstate New York and the Seneca and Cayuga Lake Wine Trails.

Our Inn is right in the heart of 25 New York State Parks and a variety of museums and historic homes. The countryside is dotted with over 90 wineries, orchards, dairy farms, resorts and country inns.

The main floor of Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast serves as a common relaxation and socializing area for guests, as well as display space for The Art Gallery at Juniper Hill. The Art Gallery concentrates on American Impressionist Fine Art of the early 20th century, reflective of the era of construction of the historic mansion. All paintings and select antiques, furnishings, and objects of interest in the Bed & Breakfast are available for sale.

We welcome you to stay with us in one of our luxurious rooms or just take a break during your tour of the Finger Lakes and area wineries in Upstate NY to view the Art Gallery offerings. We hope you’ll find your stay at Juniper Hill Bed & Breakfast to be the perfect combination of staying at a luxury hotel and your best friend’s home.

Local Attractions:Juniper Hill is truly located in the heart of the Finger Lakes. We are within minutes of both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes and their Wine Trails, as well as Ithaca, home to Cornell University and Ithaca State College. Discover easy access to fine dining, shopping, museums, music, theater, hiking, boating, breathtaking waterfalls and gorges in Upstate NY.

For those who prefer to leave their cars on site, Juniper Hill is a short walk to the shops and restaurants on Main Street, Trumansburg/Route 96. The Trumansburg golf course is less than half a mile down the street. Around the corner is the infamous Rongovian Embassy, and a side-walked stroll takes you to the Trumansburg Fairgrounds, home to the Grassroots Festival. Every Wednesday afternoon May through October, local produce and crafts are available at the nearby Trumansburg Farmers’ Market. We offer our assistance in exploring all the local area has to offer.

During winter, enjoy great downhill skiing just 30 miles from Trumansburg, 18 miles from Ithaca, at Greek Peak Ski Resort in Cortland, NY.

There is so much to do in the Finger Lakes area, you’ll have to either stay weeks, come back often; or do like we did, just move here.

Country Inn the City

Monday, April 28th, 2008


Website: http://www.countryinnthecity.com
Address: 270 West 77th Steet, New York, NY 10024 USA
Phone: 1 212 580 4183
Email: http://www.countryinnthecity.com/6.html?ChelseaLodging.com

Inspired by thoughts of ‘When in New York City’ do as New Yorkers do,’ we at Country Inn the City set out to create the kind of accommodation that was more native than tourist, an antidote to the typical hotel route, if you will.

Although we are more bed and breakfast than hotel, this is not the kind of accommodation that emphasizes one to the detriment of the other. Your self-contained Upper West Side apartment is your own and you are free to come and go as you please. Our promise to you is that you will want to come back.”
