A Memorable Stay With A Gracious Host

We had the pleasure of staying in the Mae West room, which boasts the most comfortable bed and a truly remarkable shower—easily one of the best we’ve experienced. Breakfast was delicious, the conversation around the table was lively and fun, and the entire atmosphere felt like a home away from home. John, the proprietor, is a genuinely kind and thoughtful host. It was a joy to be his guest, and we can’t say enough good things about the experience. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I were in town for one night to tour RPI. We certainly chose well with our overnight accommodations. Although the house is quaint, extra clean, and decorated perfectly, the star of our stay was the innkeeper, John. From the moment we walked in, it was like seeing an old friend.

Warm and Welcoming Inn

John, the host of the Inn, was in contact with us earlier in the day, to provide helpful information prior to our arrival. The property, inside and out, is very eclectic in its furnishings and decor. It was quite interesting seeing what was displayed throughout this spacious home! Many of the displayed items brought back memories :) which made for enjoyable conversation with the John along with the other guests.
The May West room was spacious, clean, comfy, quiet and warm ; as was the bathroom(full tub and shower!)
Breakfast was adequate and delicious. John made sure the coffee pot was ready to go, so we were able to have fresh brewed coffee when we went downstairs before eating breakfast.
The Inns' location is easy to find, has a parking lot (look for the classic cars) and in a few minutes you can drive into Troy . There is a charming downtown area with plenty of interesting architecture along with bars, restaurants, bookstores and the like. And, like any city, be aware of your surroundings as you wander.
A great view and wonderful dining experience can be had at Sea Smoke. Pricey ? Yes, but worth it ;)

Lovely host, lovely suite, pleasant one night stay

We stayed for just one night. The Inn is located about a mile from downtown and its restaurants. John, the innkeeper, was helpful and gracious, and his two greyhounds quite polite! John was also good about communicating regarding food allergies / preferences and arrival time. Our first floor suite was nicely renovated, spacious and well cared for. It's a very old house, which looks to be a lot to keep up with! While it didn't bother us, the Inn sits near a road with quite a bit of traffic, so if traffic noise is an issue, don't choose here. There's a lovely outdoor patio with flowers, but since we had a drizzly morning, we had breakfast in the kitchen and watched and chatted with John as he prepared it. Breakfast was nice, and we were off! We would stay here again.

Perfect stay with a wonderful host

The Gardner Farm Inn is a lovely, characterful property. The stay was made perfect by John's welcoming and friendly manner. And his two charming greyhounds, Margaret and Nigel. The large house is packed with interesting features and objects. The bedrooms are lovingly decorated and there are plenty of common areas - a library, sitting rooms - to enjoy and explore. We were made to feel at home, for example we were able to make ourselves tea in the kitchen. John is a great cook and made us a gourmet breakfast which we ate sitting in the sunshine among the flowers in the garden. It really was a perfect stay.

History and comfort in one beautiful old home

The Gardner Farm Inn is a beautiful eighteenth-nineteenth-century house that has been lovingly adapted to use as a B & B. The host was very welcoming and helpful, and he prepared a full breakfast every morning. A flower-bedecked patio was available for the meal, as well as an indoor breakfast bar. Inside the house was filled with interesting collectibles and artwork, and I could have spent the entire time exploring, if I hadn't come to town for a high school reunion. Another time I hope to take advantage of the little library/sitting room next to my room and to relax in the garden.

Best Inn EVER!!!

My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Gardner Farm Inn. We stayed in the stunning and eclectic John Waters room. Our bed was hard to get out of since it was so cozy and comfortable. We had an enormous walk-in closet and a large bathroom with everything we needed.

Every morning, we were greeted with 5-star breakfasts and excellent hospitality. The host John is one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met, and I'm glad I got to stay in his beautiful home. I highly recommend the Gardner Farm Inn for anyone staying in the area.

We can't say enough about how wonderful this property is. Beafutiful, early 20th century furnishings, a vast array of eclectic accent pieces throughout the house making for a truly unique decor. Most importantly, the Inkeeper John is the ultimate host. His breakfasts are to die for. This will definitely be our go-to destination when we are in the area.

This is an older home with beautiful wood floors and fixtures. My room and bathroom were very clean. There are so many unique things to look at through out the house. I felt welcomed and comfortable, and hope to stay there again in the future.

Loved it!

My husband and I had such a wonderful 4 night stay at Gardner Farm Inn. John was a gracious, warm and attentive host, the room was very comfortable and breakfast out on the flower ringed patio was delicious. We also enjoyed the local restaurants and historical sites near the inn.

Wonderful and Magical!!!!

My recent four-night stay at Gardner Farm Inn was wonderful and magical. The proprietor, John, is an outstanding host and a very special, authentic individual. Besides being thoughtful, kind, generous, helpful, interesting and insightful, he is a master chef. His breakfast delights are incredibly tasty as well as beautifully presented. I spent two hours at breakfast each morning talking with others at the Inn; we generally shared our lives and trip plans. John's presence, as well as that of his two dogs, who are supremely serene, and his breakfast setup, make for a real communal experience. His home is meticulously and thoughtfully decorated with vintage objects which makes for a very fascinating, cozy and sentimental environment. In addition, his theme-based rooms very successfully honor historic figures of artistic fame, specifically Oscar Wilde, Jean Harlow, Mae West, Josephine Baker, and director John Waters. John's Inn is also a short walk from Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute's magnificent campus and only a few minutes drive from lovely downtown Troy. I highly recommend a stroll on River Street where on the same block you can visit a quality bookstore, a terrific coffee shop, and an award-winning ice cream parlor with a Vanilla Bean perfection that won a trophy for the world's best vanilla ice cream. The owner uses fresh ingredients and offers not only standard flavors but introduces exciting new delights all the time. All in all, a great inn and neat town.

The perfect place for a night away! We were so relaxed and comfortable.

John (the innkeeper) is an utter delight, and has found just the right balance of friendly banter and giving guests the private time they seek.

His recommendations for local restaurants and things to do was spot on, and the homemade breakfast he made was fabulous. Wish we lived closer so we could hang out!

We can’t wait for the opportunity to return!

It’s like visiting a good friend

We had the most memorable and enjoyable stay with John on our way down from Lake George back to New York City. We were met with the warmest welcome. It was like staying with an old friend in a house you always look forward to visiting. I can highly recommend a stay here if you are in the area or not.

We had stayed at this B&B a week before, and enjoyed it so much that we specifically arranged our trip to come back through and stay here again. John, the owner, is a delight. Establishment is very comfortable and breakfast is wonderful. The decoration is eclectic and it’s like taking a trip to an art museum.

You Can't Go Wrong if You Book Here

John was the perfect host - attentive, earnest, and a great chef. The property was lovely, the room was marvelous, and the bed was perfect. The patio space was great for a late evening drink and an early morning breakfast. If our travels take us back this way, this is where we will stay!

We stayed one night and truly enjoyed our visit. The owner, John greeted us as we parked our car and immediately made you feel at home. This is a unique B&B with interesting art, figurines, etc. Unlike any other B&Bs we stayed at which made it even more fun! We enjoyed a visit with John on the patio before heading to dinner at a restaurant he recommended! Beds were comfortable, bathroom was spotless and we loved the big fluffy towels! Breakfast was delicious! We will definitely stay again if we are in the area!
