1892 Seneca Inn

During our visit to Watkins Glen, we  stayed at the 1892 Seneca Inn, which is run by the super nice couple Susan and Michael. The Inn is located right off the main street so it’s easy to walk to restaurants and the Lake Seneca pier, but since it’s on a side street, it’s nice and quiet and there’s no street noise. And it’s directly across the street from Good Groceries, the town’s vegan friendly health food shop.

 This isn’t a vegan bed and breakfast, but Susan will make vegan breakfast if you request it. They told us that quite a lot of vegans stay with them, and since Farm Sanctuary listed them as a vegan friendly B&B on their website, the 1892 Seneca Inn has scene a 25% increase in business! Vegan breakfast is in demand in Watkins Glen! At breakfast both mornings we were there, the veggies outnumbered the omnivores. 

The Inn is really cute, and Dennis and I spent quite a lot of time oohing and ahhing over the fun antiques in the common sitting rooms. The B&B has four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. (While I was looking for places to stay, I found quite a lot of places that didn’t have private baths, but sharing a bathroom isn’t my idea of a relaxing time away from home.) We stayed in the Coral Room which was decorated in greens and oranges. 

 Breakfast started with fruit, tea, coffee and orange juice.

Breakfast our first morning was yummy banana pancakes and soy sausage. All of the breakfast recipes come from Farm Sanctuary.

 I didn’t get a picture of breakfast from our second morning, but it was super delicious French toast, which was even better than the pancakes, and vegan bacon. French toast was one of my favorite breakfast foods in my pre-vegan days, and it’s always a nice treat when someone makes it for me now.
