Oakcliff Bed and Breakfast

"very stately home with a lovely bed-and-breakfast decorated with authentic pieces. fantastic breakfast and fantastic views of the Mohawk River."

"Wonderful old house overlooking the canal of the Mohawk River. Furnished in actual antiques not just old furniture. John the owner could not have been more helpful. Even breakfast contained a vast number of very delicious choices not a single selection like almost all bed and breakfasts. Only a 25 minute ride to Saratoga Springs so stay here. Less crowds and hassle and more economical. I would recommend this inn to anyone."

"Stayed here 5 days and it was wonderful. It was really cool seeing this historical house. John is extremely knowledgeable and loved sharing (ask him about the piano, it's really cool.) John and Pam also had tons of tips for places to eat and things to do. Breakfasts were delicious and spot on. Beds were comfy and they had AC in the bedrooms! (I don't think President Grant had it that good.) I spent many hours sitting in the back, reading and watching the river - peaceful and utterly relaxing. Location was pretty central but still away from the town. Most places we visited were about 10-20 minute drive."

"Oakcliff was recommended to us when we traveled to the Albany area for a wedding.The location was not real close to wedding activities but to stay in this amazing B&B was worth the travel time. It is so clear that renovating and operating Oakcliff is a labor of love for John, the proprietor. For about 30 years he has meticulously renovated this 1835 property, even working through the process to put it on the National Register of Historic Places. Every room is furnished and decorated with antiques and period pieces. Wow. Staying here is a must for anyone who loves history, antiques, and meeting interesting people from the US and abroad. (We met and dined with a PhD student from Berlin, Germany). Breakfast is included. One can select from a variety including fresh fruit and cheese, omelets, French toast, etc. Your breakfast will be specially made and served by John. This is an incredible step back in time. Allow yourself to enjoy the quiet of Oakcliff, looking upon great Mohawk River vistas just as 4 Presidents did (Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur)."

"Charming, beautiful B&B! Our host, John, was extremely accommodating and made our stay so enjoyable. The house is impeccably furnished with antiques, amazing art and an incredible river view. Our room was very comfortable and the attached bath was so elegant! John served a delicious breakfast in the exquisite dining room. A wonderful place to stay...we can't wait until our next visit!"
