“Charming & Relaxing weekend getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway at Juniper Hill, and we were both treated to a sumptuous experience.

Coming up the drive, I was immediately charmed by the classic Colonial style mansion that houses the bed & breakfast. Candles were in every window, illuminating the cold wintery landscape. Bruce greeted us at the door and led us to our room, giving a little tour on the way. Our room had a huge bed, so tall that that a stepstool was provided to climb in! Warm fluffy robes and slippers were provided, and the bathroom included a huge clawfoot tub, tile floors that could be heated, as well as a tile shower.

The room had a chaise lounge that was perfectly positioned in a nook between two windows, so you could sit and read in your robe with a nice cup of tea. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscotti were located in the hallway outside our room, and tasty homemade brownies were available downstairs all day (and more seemed to reappear almost as fast as we could devour them).

Breakfast in the morning was a culinary delight - braised apples one morning, and poached pears the next, followed by an amazing banana cannoli tart - sort of a deconstructed cannoli - and a breadbowl quiche one morning and strawberry pancakes the next. The tables were intimate tables for two by the window overlooking their garden and fountain, now covered in snow, with views of other gorgeous properties across the street. Their two friendly dogs curled up at our feet at breakfast.

All in all, a wonderful way to get some pampering in a home-away-from-home. I highly recommend Juniper Hill if you want to spend some peace and quiet in a beautiful serene setting.

“What a breakfast!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I'm not sure which to rate higher the bed or the breakfast part of this fabulous B&B. The first pleasant surprise is being greeted by Bruce, ever the gracious host who is happy to show you around.

The rooms themselves are over the top (in a good way)...heated bathroom floors (my hands down favorite part of the rooms), the gas fireplaces (my husbands favorite) and of course the high in the sky beds. We've stayed in two different rooms: Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent. The first stay was only one night, BIG mistake. Two years later we went back and stayed for two nights, it's a must! Both rooms have a beautiful view and the above mentioned amenities.
Now to my most favorite part, breakfast. Plan on not eating again until dinner, no joke. You have coffee in the hall for the early risers. Did I mention that before? There are snacks to munch on at night while watching movies in your room, fun, fun, fun!
Back to breakfast: You come down to the dining room with the tables set and your first course ready for you to enjoy. There is juice and an endless supply of coffee. Next comes the second course and then lastly, if you still have room, is the third course. Each one outdoes the other.
Writing this review makes me want to go back...NOW! Time to save up for another weekend away!
Do yourself a favor and book a weekend at Juniper Hill in Trumansburg. You won't be disappointed.

Room Tip: All rooms are excellent! One room has a bath in the hall, it's a beauty though and one room is...

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely B&B for two nights (October 3-4 2011) while on our honeymoon tour. Bruce, our host, was gracious, charming and an absolutely fabulous cook!The breakfast was first class. I know I am using up all my superlatives, but we both agree we cannot say enough about the superb quality of this B&B. Do not hesitate a moment, make your reservations now! The house is gorgeous, the room is appointed beautifully and was spotless, the bed and linens super comfortable. We stayed in the John Singer Sargent room and it is lovely! We plan to visit again, as soon as possible. Thanks Bruce for a lovely time.

“Fabulous Find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

person found this review helpful

The Juniper Hill Inn was a great find. My husband & I booked it last minute and we didn't know what to expect. But were thrilled when we pulled in. It truely is just as the other reviewers say.
Bruce met us outside, gave us the tour and let us peek at the other rooms before the other guests checked in. The rooms were amazing. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the details. Our room was the smallest, but no less comfortable. It was perfect for us since we really didn't spend much time in it anyway. Our fabulous bathroom was actually across the hall, but private (with a key). It had a steam shower with stereo & heated floors.
The entire Inn is decorated with Original works of art. Most for sale.
The breakfast every morning was a 3-course meal. Bruce makes the most original and delicious items. He should write a cookbook & sell it! You definitely won't walk away hungry! In the common area by the bedrooms they've really thought of everything. Snacks, coffee/teas, water, mini-Ice maker. Our room even had a small Fridge, Robes (for walking across hall to BR) , a charging station for all our electronics.
Lastly, the location is perfect. we walked to dinner the first night. The next day we did the Seneca Wine Trail. The Inn is probably 1/2 way between Cayuga & Seneca and only a couple miles from the Taughannock Falls State Park.
Would most definitely recommend this to anyone looking for weekend getaway!
Fabulous Find!

Room Tip: I would recommend any of the 4 rooms. The Lillian Hale room is by far the smallest of the 4, with...

My boyfriend and I spent 1 night at Juniper Hill B & B in the John Singer Sargent room. I cannot say enough good things about this B & B. We were greeted at the door by Bruce (the B & B owner). He was very friendly and took us on a tour of the B & B. He quickly got us to our room and gave us a lovely suggestion and made reservations for dinner (the Hazelnut Kitchen). Our room was breathtaking. I have stayed in many hotels/b & b's but never one as luxurious as this! The breakfast was delicious and kept us full until dinner. I would suggest this B & B to anyone looking for a romantic getaway. We will definetly return:)

Room Tip: The John Singer Sargent room is very well appointed....gas fireplace, 2 person whirlpool tub, heated...
