We recently needed a place to stop on a trip from Richmond VA going north to Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks. We were planning to stop in the Binghamton area to visit the grave of a deceased beloved relative. Unfortunately we traveled needed a place to stay Friday June 25 which happened to coincide with some other events in the greater tri-cities area. With only 17 hotels to pick from all the better rooms were gone and the price/demand curve was putting rooms at a premium. To stay at a Hampton of Marriott was going to run between $350-$400 for two rooms for one night.
Thank goodness for Trip Advisor where I found Pickle Hill B&B. We had a very nice and relaxed stay and enjoyed a good meal at a favorite restaurant in Binghamton. The next morning Leslie and Tom were as gracious and accommodating as could be. The breakfast was quite good and ample.
The home is comfortable and I would say it felt like staying at your brother's or sister's house assuming they were gifted with the attitude of hospitality. The furnishings are exactly as shown, not elegant or fancy but you have everything your need and at a great price.

The only caution I would note is that if you are a light sleeper ask for the bedroom facing the side yard not the street. It didn't bother me one bit but the occasional car rolling by might be a distraction. Other than that I felt very much at home! Excellent selection of reading material in the back room.

Not only would I stay with Leslie and Tom again I recommend you do as well.

I stayed at Pickle Hill and the owners were the best. I have stayed at other B & B's but I feel this by far has been the best. I hope to stay again when comming up from North Carolina to visit. Tom and his wife had a pot of coffee on (all I really wanted) but they asked if I wanted anything else they would make it. The room was very cozy, and the whole home was very comforting. I would recommend this B & B to anyone that is going to the Sounthern Teir.

My husband and I stayed as a mini excursion while our son was at his grand-parents for the night. We wanted something relaxed, easy and comfortable. The B&B was very convenient as it is right downtown, but is in a pleasant residential district on a quiet street. The room was clean and comfortable, there was a mountain of soft pillows on the bed and the flannel sheets were a nice touch in February. Our room was right across the hall from the bathroom which was quite large, and there were plenty of clean towels. We were also offered the use of a sitting room with a television and the porch. We got excellent directions and advice on restaurants and had no trouble getting back in after 10pm. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, the morning papers were set out and we never even had to pour the coffee ourselves. There is simply no comparison price wise, any other room in town would have been twice as much and we would not have gotten the same attentive personalized service.

Tom and Leslie are experts in hospitality. Their bed and breakfast is not lavish, but very comfortable. On a quiet street, they made sure we had everything we needed in a peaceful surrounding. The beds were comfortable, the rooms as warm or cool as you prefer, the shower hot, and a fresh pot of coffee awaited every morning when we awoke. Tom and Leslie went out of their way making sure we enjoyed our stay, and even welcomed additional family members on our last day for a scrumptious breakfast of apple stuffed french toast. Thank you for making our stay even better!
