Currently, the B&B offers new owners a highly successful long-established business, a relaxed country lifestyle, an eco-friendly environment and a spectacular owners home all just 5 minutes from the vibrant downtown of Saratoga Springs, NY. The 1860s farmstead is the last piece of a huge farm built by abolitionists during the Civil War and was considered part of the Underground Railroad. After years of neglect it has now been completely restored and renovated by the current owners, offering visitors from around the country and around the world a comfortable home away from home. The property is certified green by Audubon Int. at its highest level - one of only 5 properties in New York State and one of 18 in the country with this highly sought-after designation.

Separate but attached is the Innkeepers home featuring a large chefs kitchen with leathered granite counter tops and bay windows designed with the flexibility to accommodate a large family event as well as cooking classes. This flows into an office, a studio and a private deck, then proceeds to a spectacular new timber frame addition with an eclectic dining room, huge great room, master bedroom master bath, laundry room and walk-in closet - all with soaring ceilings, oversize windows and custom cork floors. The B&B is surrounded by well-tended lawns, old growth trees, raised vegetable beds and perennial gardens as well as walking paths through natural fields.
