The room and bathroom were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It was nice having dedicated parking too. We didn’t realize that since it was end of their season, many spots were closed or only open certain days. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at the Benjamin!

What a lovely, peaceful stay I had at the Hatch House. I was treated like family, and the location is easily walkable to the river and downtown shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this beautiful home and wonderful couple.

Anne and Paul are wonderful hosts. This is the first time that I've stayed in a B&B in this area and the experience has totally exceeded my expectations. A short business trip is what brought me to Wellsboro, and this location was a better option than the chain hotels which were further away. I would probably choose to stay in another B&B if the option presents itself. Anne and Paul have a lovely, wonderful and well taken care of home. I think that you will definitely feel comfortable here, like...

The property was beautiful. We loved the chalet that we stayed in, super comfy bed, beautiful views, no matter which one you stay in. Staff was very kind, helping us park our trailer, and being accommodating. Would highly recommend this little secret in Watkins Glen.

We traveled with our son´s high school wrestling team to Sayre. The staff was wonderful. One of the wrestlers accidentally left cash in the room when he checked out. The staff tracked down our bus driver who returned it to the boy. Customer service is alive and well in Sayre PA. I highly recommend this hotel!
