The Red Kettle Inn Bed and Breakfast

We had an amazing time at the Red Kettle Inn! Cheryl went above and beyond to accommodate our short weekend trip for my birthday. The house was immaculate and full of character and her breakfast was delicious! She was such a sweet host and we enjoyed getting to know her during our stay. We were glad we found her place and that she was available for our short weekend trip. Hope to be back again next year!

Best long girls weekend ever and staying at The Red Kettle Inn was the icing on the cake! We were greeted with maple icing cupcakes-delish!! The house is absolutely beautiful, the beds were super comfy (we stayed in the Green Room), and the love Cheryl has for the house shows in every corner with the decor! Breakfast was amazing each morning. We loved how she had a person for everything; the bread guy, the egg lady! She spoke about each one of them so dearly and everything she cooked was so delicious! There was plenty to do. We hiked, walked around the lake, and got massages all within walking distance! And the ride to the vineyards and horseback riding was a hop, skip, and a jump- great location the Inn! I can’t wait to plan my next visit and share with my family and friends the gem Cheryl has found in Watkins Glen! Thank you friend and all the best to you!

My wife and I went here for our anniversary in July, never having been to Watkins Glen before. Most of the recommended Hotels and B&Bs were either too expensive or booked. When we came across the Red Kettle Inn, it appeared to be under new ownership from the website, so that made us a little nervous; however, we were more than pleasantly surprised by the our total experience from booking to checking out. Cheryl (the new owner) did a great job being warming and welcome. Since this is her first year owning the property, she only had limited availability, but luckily what was available went with our desired dates. Cheryl did a great job with the breakfast plans and food, including bringing in some oranges from California from her property's tree to make fresh orange juice. She also was great with handing out pamphlets of some of the nearby restaurants and wineries, as well as game some great recommendations from personal experiences. Some of the rooms in the house need a little bit of TLC/work, but now that Cheryl will be full-time focused on the property in the Fall, she plans on renovating some of the rooms and amenities. The property is gorgeous and well-placed downtown, which allows for close walks to most of the local stores, sites, and the lake. We definitely recommend this property for those that are looking for a comfortable, family, and budget friendly experience.

Cheryl is my friend for over 30 years and she had invited me to come (summer, 2017) and share in her next life’s adventure - becoming an inn owner! Cheryl is a natural. She loves meeting new people and has a desire to make each guest feel at home and to have enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast - personally my favorite meal of the day! Cheryl loves Watkins Glen and will have wonderful suggestions and/or recommendations for things to do in the Finger Lakes. Especially since she will have probably tried it already! So depending if you are the type of guest that just likes to relax and hang about or if you like to rove around - I can assure you - you will enjoy your stay and will want to come back again - to a home away from home.

Just like home! We had the best time and felt so welcomed by the owner. Breakfast was awesome and our room was so cozy. Such a relaxing trip. Will definitely be going back. The area has so much to do and staying at the Red Kettle Inn is central to everything. We walked into town and its so close to Lake Seneca. Loved everything!
