Accomodation
An 1876 Victorian home is the Bed & Breakfast where most of our
guests will be staying at this year. The owner's name is Terri Dutch,
the B&B is right on Main Street in Boonville, on the left hand side
as you are approaching the main business district.
The building is gray in color.
Your reservations will be made by us for you but here is the phone number if you want to or need to call them: 315-942-3368.
 
Directions
We are
approximately 4.5 hours from NYC, 2.5 hours from Rochester, NY, 2 hours
from Syracuse, 2 hours from Albany, 1/2 hour from Utica. There are
airports everywhere except Utica. Folks come in from all over the U.S.
and Europe.
Driving directions: from western NY, take 90 East to Utica exit, get on
Route 12 North, to the Y split in Alder Creek of Rt 28 and Rt 12. Stay
on Rt 12 for just another short ways, go under the bridge, turn left
onto EGYPT road, turn left onto Potato Hill Rd., turn Right onto Buck
Hill - there is no sign - it is the first right following the sign on
Potato Hill Rd that says Town of Steuben.
I still have to get directions on the 87 part of the thruway if you coming from NYC, then you would head to I can't remember!
Dresscode
We have
helmets if you desire to wear one, also raingear, and boots if you are
lacking them, and breakaway stirrups and safety glasses (or your
sunglasses) for your protection.
We suggest you wear long sleeved shirts to protect against branches, no
hooded shirts - they can get caught up in branches, and a baseball or
some type of hat. And
Bring a sweatshirt or light jacket just in case it is cool out.
Regarding Deposits
We are
a very small business (only 1 or 2 guests at a time) and we have a very
short season because of hunting and our severe winters - we will do our
very best to refund your deposit IF we can get someone else in for that week that you had reserved.
So, the earlier you are able to inform us, the better the chances are of
us trying to fill the week that you no longer can use. Our business
and our darlings depend on occupied weeks - a vacant week really hurts
us and our brood since there is no income at all and we have lost
guests that WOULD have reserved that same week but made other plans
since that timeframe was not available.
We are very honest and nice folks - and we will try our very best to
fill that week with other guests, but there is no guarantee that we can -
you do have our word that we will give it our very best shot.
