Cozy Finger Lakes area retreat for 2
Charming residence, off the beaten path where farm life is a big part of the experience. The space where we stayed was well appointed and cozy. The big picture window allowed a view of the sunrise every morning. A perfect couple's getaway

The perfect spot!
We had plans to explore most of Seneca Lake, Corning, and Ithaca. The location of the farm was PERFECT and Barb and Barb could not have been more accommodating. The rental was the best space for us to launch from and gave us room to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Such a perfect, beautiful spot to stay for our honeymoon!

A Tranquil Countryside Escape at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway
**Review for Barb and Barb's Country Getaway** My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Barb and Barb's Country Getaway. The scenic property was absolutely beautiful, and we adored the peaceful surroundings. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the fantastic food scenes in both Corning NY and Watkins Glen. We especially enjoyed visiting with the goats and chickens, which added a charming touch to our countryside experience. Barb and BJ are truly sweet and friendly people, and their hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. We also had an amazing time exploring Watkins Glen Park, where the hike exceeded our expectations and provided breathtaking views. Overall, our stay at Barb's Country Getaway was beyond delightful, and we cannot wait to return for another peaceful and memorable experience.

This trip was so wonderful. My boyfriend and I stayed here for our 2 year anniversary trip, and had such a wonderful time here. It was clean, the owner was super nice, and I loved waking up to the noises of nature. Definitely would recommend booking here!

Quiet getaway
If your looking for a place to go, just you and your spouse/partner, I would absolutely recommend staying here. It's out of the hustle and bustle of town, in a relaxing country setting. Beautiful views!! Cell service is not the best and there is no wifi, both of which we knew before booking. It was nice to unplug from everything that life throws at us these days. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the owners, is that there's not much to do in the evening in the area. Everything closes down at 5pm so make sure to plan your day early and you'll have the evening to relax. We would absolutely book with BJ and Barb again!

Nice "Country Feel" Getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay at Barb and BJ's Country getaway. We went the area to celebrate our 40th anniversary and we were not disappointed. Barb and BJ were great hosts, very friendly and hospitable with their place. The room was really nice and had a great view of the mountainous terrain surround the region. My wife enjoyed morning walks and visiting with the animals that they have there on their farm. It was a highlight for here during our visit. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs they shared from their free range chickens. We both thought the room was cozy and really enjoyed the fire from the pellet stove. It gave the room a nice romantic atmosphere to help us enjoy our anniversary together there. One "possible" drawback to be aware of is that the place did not have the internet / WIFI as an amenity as listed and that was a slight adjustment as we would have liked to be able to stream some things to view in the evenings. Fortunately they do have good cell reception so that helped s to be able to use our phone service as an internet source while we were there. Another "Heads Up" for others considerations is that this particular place was back a dirt lane that was very muddy because of the recent snow / rain that had fallen. If those 2 items do not bother you then I would recommend this place to you. Overall we had a good experience there and we personally would consider returning in the future if we decide to do more vacationing in that area. Thank you Barb and BJ for sharing your Country getaway!
