Soon the leaves will start to change and the lush, green hillsides will slowly become ablaze in reds, oranges and yellows.
It’s the perfect time to visit New York’s Finger Lakes. The days are warm and the nights are crisp. On the weekends in October enjoy chairlift rides at Bristol Mountain, our local ski mountain just down the road from the 1795 Acorn Inn, and view the foliage from above. Bring along a picnic basket, a bottle of wine and a blanket. Find a secluded spot off the beaten path and enjoy a romantic escape. Take a leisurely drive among the vineyards and taste wine. Or, walk among the apple orchards and pick a variety of juicy, crisp New York apples. There’s plenty to do and see.
The weekends fill up quickly so book now and get the weekend of your choice. Or, visit during the week and take advantage of our best multiple weeknight rates.

Full Moon
No doubt this moon created a stunning sight throughout Upstate New York’s Finger Lakes. Recently taken from the parking lot of the 1795 Acorn Inn, the full moon lit up the sky and illuminated the rolling hills of Bristol.
In order to share the ever changing landscape of the Finger Lakes, I will periodically post photos that I’ve taken while exploring the area. I absolutely love taking a road less traveled with camera close by and documenting the ever changing seasons. Read the rest of this entry »

Frequent guests of our Upstate New York bed and breakfast are accustomed to feasting on the likes of French toast crème brûlée, sausages and fresh fruit; the meal takes place by candlelight, at 9am, after a fantastic night’s sleep.
We so enjoy seeing our guests well fed that we’ve partnered with the Brown Hound Bistro to create special Upstate New York getaways. No need to go out for dinner after a full day of exploring the Finger Lakes region. Chefs from the Brown Hound Bistro will serve you a four course meal right here at our Upstate New York bed and breakfast. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking forward to the Brown Hound Bistro dinner this Saturday. Eight guests have signed up for this feast. We even had guests who were not staying at the 1795 Acorn Inn want to join us. Unfortunately, that would make it just a tad less special for our guests so we declined. Bon Appetit!
We have two more dinners coming up. Make sure to book those in advance so that we can accommodate you.

Wouldn't it be nice to eat dinner in?
Often Guests visiting the Finger Lakes area ask if there is a restaurant at the Inn. Especially during this chilly time of year when people like to stay in after a thrilling day of skiing or a full day of wine tasting. Read the rest of this entry »

The Smith Opera House, in Geneva NY, presents an eclectic array of performances year round. In January alone, there are crazy-fun events for children of all ages, film events, and classical music. Central to the cultural life of the Finger Lakes region, the Smith Opera House is committed to reaching out to a diverse audience. Kudos. Read the rest of this entry »

Famous for Rieslings and Gewurtztraminer, the Finger Lakes area is the second largest wine-producing region in the US. With more than 80 vintners producing unique selections, you are sure to find a bottle of something to bring home.
An example of the bounty of Upstate New York
On the other side of the lake from our bed and breakfast New York is the Wilhelmus Estate Winery. The Winery is new but the recipes for the wine are from the “old world”. Wilhelmus Kuenen, a Dutch immigrant, brought his family to the States when his son Boud was 7 years old. Wilhelmus started making wine in 1958. He became a very serious wine maker after his retirement in the 1970’s, winning awards across the Northeast. Boud and Karen Kuenen opened the winery in 2007 and named the winery in memory of Boud’s father, the original Vintner. Read the rest of this entry »
