Absolutely exceeded high expectations; classic decor, world class bed and linens for an outstanding sleep, great shower and bathroom, huge closet, outstanding host and breakfast. Plus the location could not have been better. Am easy 10 out of 10 in every category and I would look forward to returning one day if I ever am in the state capital area again!

Only that I was not able to stay a second night or had arrived earlier so that I could have perused the many books and curios and sat and enjoyed the wonderful public areas in the house.

Gardner Farm Inn is a delight. Its like staying in a cabinet of curiosities because the shared areas are filled with fine art, vintage photos, and interesting collections of antique objects and curios. It was so much fun exploring! The beds are luxurious and comfortable, bathrooms are beautifully updated and roomy. John was a great host and breakfasts were delicious (we stayed two nights). There are two greyhounds in residence and they are extremely calm, well behaved and very soft to pet. The neighborhood is quiet and safe on the outskirts of Troy.

Everything was great, no problems at all.

John, the owner and, the host is awesome. He made us feel at home from the word 'go'. His friendliness is not artificial and he genuinely loves people and that's a hallmark of a good human being. Breakfast was filled with nutrients, delicious flavors, and high on calories. Simply put, the breakfast is great here. John makes a Quiche like no other, enjoyed. The banana pancakes were delicious too.

Maybe Television in rooms? though there is a large 54" television in the reading room for guests to watch. Having a television in rooms makes the stay at Inn's or hotel more comfortable, and made us relax further.

Breakfast was excellent and the 2 staff members who were helping out the owner who was away attending a wedding were excellent -4 stars . Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.The other people staying at inn were very friendly and nice.

The outside grounds are awaitng the annual spring cleanup [it is only the first weekend of May ] -Owner reports that his gardener quit recently,

Exceptional hospitality provided by John--in a beautiful and cared for environment. Accommodated my request for an early check-in. Prepared a delicious breakfast that met my dietary needs!

Everything was perfect--I would highly recommend. I've stayed at the Gardner Farm Inn multiple times and look forward to returning for future stays in the area.

Our host, John, made delicious breakfasts each day we were there, such as homemade French toast with local fruit and maple syrup, and frittatas with local vegetable as a side. He also accommodated my friend's non-dairy request. It was excellent.

There isn't anything to dislike in this quiet, charming bed and breakfast.

I selected this b&b for the location, but everything about it exceeded my expectations. It was charming, clean, comfortable and just had that extra something that makes a stay memorable. Maybe it was the dogs, the gardens, or the delicious breakfast. Everything was absolutely perfect.

John the host was very accommodating, due to a snow storm we had to change in our stay at the last minute. We had a 3 night stay instead of 2. The room was very nice, king bed and breakfast was really very good.

John, the owner, makes it feel like you're staying with family! The room was wonderful, the breakfasts were stellar, and... he has doggies!!!(I love dogs) The bed was so comfortable that I slept as well or better than I do at home. I travel a good bit and this is by far my favorite place that I've stayed.

There's nothing not to like.

John is a fantastic host and it immediately felt like home. He‘s decorated the house with so much love and attention to detail. And he‘s also a great chef! We‘d gladly stay with him again.

Everything was perfect!
