"We stayed at the Belva Lockwood Inn during our wedding weekend in May, and we can’t say enough good things about the experience! Brie and Matt were such thoughtful and kind hosts, doing everything possible to help make sure our wedding day went smoothly. We stayed in the Gorman Suite, and the living room area was just right for hair and makeup with plenty of space for members of our wedding party to hang out and get ready. When we returned to the inn after the wedding, the bar downstairs was the perfect spot to sit, have a drink and rehash the wonderful moments of the day with a few of our guests (who also stayed at the inn). Another highlight of our stay was the delicious breakfast delivered to our room each morning in an adorable picnic basket! Brie and Matt graciously accommodated our request for vegan meals with hearty and delicious fare, which we enjoyed while sitting on the inn’s gorgeous (and huge) front porch. We would absolutely recommend the Belva Lockwood Inn to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Owego area, for a wedding or just a weekend getaway!"
"My husband and I recently enjoyed a delightful weekend getaway at the Belva Lockwood Inn, and it exceeded all our expectations. The inn itself is a stunning historic home, once owned by the remarkable Belva Lockwood, a woman who left an indelible mark on history. We were truly captivated by her achievements and her efforts to combat the inequalities faced by women in the late 19th century. Brie and Matt, the hosts of the inn, were incredibly gracious and welcoming. Their pride in the property is evident in every detail, and the immaculate upkeep of the inn reflected their dedication. Each morning, we eagerly awaited the arrival of the breakfast basket filled with delicious meals and a fresh pot of coffee—an added touch that made our stay even more special. Our experience at the Belva Lockwood Inn was truly memorable, and would definitely visit again in the future. Thank you to Brie and Matt for providing such a wonderful retreat—we can't wait to return."
"Spent the weekend here as a nice get away with my parents. Absolutely incredible experience and will 1000% be back. Brie and Matt are just the kindest most hospitable hosts and made our trip amazing. I was a big fan of the specialty cocktails that Brie crafted for us! The rooms that we stayed in were clean, comfortable, and had the amenities of a modern building while still having that historic charm that a location like this promises. The building is old, so you'll hear some squeaks on the stairs, but there's space and charm in abundance and even my father with mobility issues was able to wander to the center of town to experience the river walk and the shops and food that Owego has to offer. Absolutely a trip that I will be promoting to friends and family to try out! Don't miss this must visit gem!!!"

The rooms are beautiful, each offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. Matt and Brie, are incredible hosts. Their warm welcome and personal touch made our stay memorable. The attention to detail is unmatched, and it's clear that they take great pride in creating a delightful atmosphere for their guests. We fully expect to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a unique and inviting getaway. Thank you, Matt and Brie, for making our stay so special!"
