“Great Memories - Not to be missed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

What a beautiful place, pefect wherever you look. Everything first class -- rooms, furniture, decoration, bathrooms, common spaces, decks, views. Enter and you will smile. Host Holly is gracious, sharp, helpful. Arrival greeting comes served on a platter, with cloth napkins, and real china with real silverware if you pick tea or coffee. Or, you can have wine if that's your pleasure. Yep, it is a bit out of town and yep, the view of the lake is a bit distant. But then, it's really peaceful and the expansive parklike grounds are a view of their own.

Room Tip: The two lake view rooms are the best.

“Idyllic setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We loved this beautiful B&B overlooking the lake. The accommodations, the setting, the warmth of the hostess could not be better.. We were 6 couples and all felt the same way about this delightful retreat. W e really didn't want to leave, Even the breakfasts were outstanding. It was truly wonderful. We would love to go back there someday...

“scenic century farm house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

Skaneateles is a lovely town situated on the shores of a crystal clear lake. The swimming is fabulous. We set out for a short getaway, and were delighted to stay at the Hobbit Hollow Farm B&B. We wanted to ride our road bikes and run and there were plenty of hilly routes to choose from. There are also mountain bike trails in the area. Public boat launching is available up the road from Hobbit Hollow, that would be suitable for kayaks or canoes. We enjoyed the area during the day and our quiet farm setting at the end of the day. Each bedroom has unique features, and is decorated with antiques. The library and living rooms on the main floor, the porch and the gardens outside were very enjoyable. Breakfasts were gourmet and generous, but a little too sweet for our tastebuds.
The staff were exceptionally helpful with suggestions and information. This was a lovely place to relax and we hope to be back again!!!

“Wonderful B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

This B&B was first class from location to the room to breakfast. Located 5 minutes out of town overlooking a vineyard and the lake, it was the favorite of the many B&B's we stayed in on our trip. The manager, Holly, was most gracious and helpful serving us wine, cheese and frozen grapes upon our arrival. We were in the Chanticleer room which was huge as was the bathroom. As a bonus, there was a riding exhibition taking place adjacent to the property which we enjoyed watching in the late afternoon. If you want a B&B in Skaneateles, this is the place.

“Heavenly B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

Hobbit Hollow was the best B&B we ever stayed in. The lovely farm house (more like a small mansion) was redone and is at the five-star level. We stayed in the master suite, which has a large, private, screened-in porch with wicker furniture. The four-poster bed was SO comfortable and the jacuzzi tub a delight.

The house is located on a horse farm, and the sight of the beautiful hunter/jumpers grazing in the fields was enchanting. As we entered the house, the smell of chocolate cookies immediately made us feel at home.

While this is not an inexpensive place to stay, it is worth every penny.

The breakfasts were delightfully tasty, without being heavy. Ask Holly to make you the "stuffed croissant" if you want a real treat.
