Welcome to the Ginger Cat B&B

You enter through the breezeway into a large 4-season porch. This is where you'll have your breakfast and it's a nice place to just relax.

The porch has a sink, fridge, microwave and toaster. There's an instant hot water dispenser so you can make yourself a cup of tea or soup at any time.

The porch opens onto the large 16'x30' deck that overlooks some of the flower and vegetable gardens. The porch opens onto the Deck

Want to do some bird watching? Just sit still and soon the birds will arrive at the feeders.

The deck faces west and you will be able to watch the sunset. And on those long, hot summer nights, you'll be amazed at the stars. We have very little ambient light to block the light of the stars. The Milky Way is right overhead!

I know Carrie.  This facility is located on the east side of Seneca Lake so it would be about a 30 minute drive from us.  She has heated and air conditioned private kennels each of which leads to a covered dog run.  She also has a 1/2 acre fenced-in area that she uses for doggie play time.  She allows boarders to come and get their dogs at any time during the day.  Requires proof of rabies, distemper, bordatella vaccinations.

5 .  Ryder K9 Kennels

I don't know the owner personally, but he's highly recommended by the President of the Schuyler County Humane Society.  She said the facility is beautiful and the dogs are very well cared for.  This place is located 13 miles north west of me, near Keuka Lake and would probably be a 30 minute drive, at most.
