From the moment I called Roland, Innkeeper, to the momment he let us into his Inn, I knew we found a hit! This Inn is beyond anything we had imagined. Our king size room, had all we needed and more. The breakfast table was a work of art. The food, simply delicious. Fresh fruit, key lime muffines, french toast and bacon, all melted in our mouths. The antiques that it all was served on, were spectacular. The touches this Inn has, cannot be matched. Every detail was taken care of. We also enjoyed Steve as we talked to him about dinner on the eve we were there. We talked to him in the am, and he was most engaging. We cannot wait to go back, for a longer period of time.

This ultra welcoming Inn is gracious in every way....from the lovely appointments in every room to the generosity of our hosts to the delicious and nourishing foods we were served, this is a winning destination for all those who seek renewal of body, mind and spirit. My partner and I were served up a sanctuary of peace that was punctuated with steady breezes moving through the luscious, green valley. And there is a river to swim in to boot....or just stand by, listen to the current and gaze into your lover's eyes and behold the magic of this masterfully tended to Inn. We thank you for welcoming us into your 'home'.

From the moment you enter the door to the moment you leave you are spoiled. The innkeepers are there 24-7, are willing to share all their knowledge of the area, have outstanding sense of humor and project the love of innkeeping. Fresh homebaked cookies await your return at the end of the day or for a snack,and the breakfasts are fabulous. A geat Inn with fabulous hosts

Artistry, History, Attention

It's hard to imagine that an Olde World hostelry like this could be waiting for travelers in modern times.... From the moment we received our personal welcome through these beautiful doors, the artistry, attention to detail, and historic charm told us that this would be a place like none other. It was true! We slept in greatest comfort, and awoke refreshed and enriched, to a gourmet breakfast surrounded by sculptures, sunlight, and a wonderful viewpoint over the historic Mohawk Valley. This is truly a place to be inspired and energized. The talents, vision, and care of our exceptional hosts were perfectly matched to the natural beauty of the site, and etched a lasting place in our memories of the Historic Mohawk Valley. We will definitely find a reason to return to the Portobello Inn.
