We have stayed at the Pearl three times now and have just booked another stay. Everything is fantastic! Peter and Mary have pulled together everything we could have wanted in a B&B. The rooms, porches, fire pit, hammock, and the pier with a boat and canoe. Their hospitality put this B&B over the top. They are genuine, warm and friendly. They treat each guest as if you were the only guest. Coming down for breakfast in the morning, to the scones and ever changing breakfast entree, was a highlight of the day even with all of the attractions in the area. Everyone we have met is there for a repeat visit and/or has plans to return again.

We stayed at the Pearl of Seneca Lake during the December Deck the Halls weekend. From the minute we arrived we felt like we were at home. Peter and Mary are the greatest hosts we have ever met!! We felt as though we were a part of their family. The B&B is situated on a beautiful, peaceful part of Seneca Lake. The views are outstanding. We couldn't wait to get up early and watch the sunrise on the lake. It is very clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the breakfast is out of this world (I highly recommend Mary's pancakes). Mary also makes the best homemade scones you've ever tasted. The bottomless cookie jar is amazing, as is the homemade biscotti. There is also a coffee, hot chocolate, and tea bar that is open 24 hours for your convenience. The refrigerator in each room is supplied with unlimited water and soda. They also provide a relaxing lavender body wash in each room. We didn't need for a thing! The four of us cannot wait to go back to relax and see Mary and Peter again! This is a must see B&B...I promise you won't be disappointed!

We stayed 3 nights in late September and early October 2011, and would say that this was an outstanding experience. The host and hostess (Peter and Mary) are genuinely warm people and immediately make you feel at home when you arrive. The B/B is wonderful, spacious, bright, cheery, and meticulously clean. The property is directly on lake Seneca, with a gorgeous view. There is a hiking trail on the property, a dock on the lake, a fire pit, and a whole lot of other things to keep you busy. The area is heavily wooded, so wildlife is abundant. They have deer that feed on their lawn, groundhogs that live under their porch, and overall, it's just a very serene, quiet, place to get some wonderful R and R. The breakfasts each morning are superb. Delicious, and more food than you could ever need. Unlimited coffee, tea, and cocoa all day long, a bottomless cookie jar, and they usually send you out with cookies or scones when you leave. Peter and Mary were very warm and friendly people, and it wasn't fake, they are just great, friendly, nice people. Hands down, you cannot go wrong with a visit to the Pearl of Seneca Lake. Their location is far enough away from the cities, but close enough for a quick drive. 15 minutes to Watkins Glen. 30 minuites to Corning. Centrally located for quick access to all the great wineries along the western shore of Seneca Lake. Absolutely fabulous experience.

Once again Peter and Mary welcomed us into their home with open arms. Every room is spotless, the breakfasts fantastic and the picnic table and fire pit overlooking the lake is a wonderful addition to this one of the best B&B's on the East Coast. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
