We run our own small B and B in Northern New York, so when we were in Schenectady for a wedding, we of course chose a B and B. As innkeepers ourselves, we see things with a critical eye. The Van Voast House was a top-notch experience. Everything in the house was neat as a pin. The decorating was spot... More

We only spent one night here, but the stay was very pleasant. Very clean and comfy. A wonderful breakfast to start the day. Several nice restaurants in the area. More

We don't typically stay at B&B's but the reviews of hotels in the immediate area were pretty dismal. Our host was friendly and helpful, and the room was squeaky clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was the real thing... an interesting iteration of eggs, something we enjoyed and didn't have every day. We ate outdoors adjacent to the lovely garden. Would... More

This B&B was wonderful. Very homey, immaculately clean and well maintained. Carol made us a great breakfast and was very sweet and easy to talk to. Highly recommend. More

My 40th High School Reunion was made even more wonderful by staying with Carol!!! I'm so glad I made reservations before my classmates did. They had to stay at the Holiday Inn...Not only did my two girlfriends and I enjoy our charming room, everything was provided if we had forgotten it, ie. shampoo, razor, etc. Carol has thought of everything....

I've been staying at the Van Voast House since 2006 for trips to the Albany/Schenectady area. Wonderful hostess and every time it is like coming home. Great breakfasts too! You'll enjoy the garden and back porch breakfasts or just swinging on the swing. More

We had a very pleasant stay at this B&B this past weekend. Carol, the proprietor, is very accommodating and made us feel at home. She helped us find that Erie Trail bike path going in both directions from Schenectady and drew us personalized maps. She also had very good knowledge of the local restaurants, both for lunch and dinner. We... More

Stayed here for two nights. Landlady was very friendly and chatty. Room was good although not having an ensuite bathroom was a minor pain. We did have our own private bathroom across the hall and a bathrobe was provided. Breakfast was good. We were asked if we had any food dislikes which was very considerate. Off-street parking was available too.... More

Beautiful craftsman style home, yummy breakfast, accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly host. Homey feel. We had something called "Dutch Babies" for breakfast - a baked pancake with fruit and syrup - outstanding. Great value. More
