Hi, I'm Nancy, nice to meet you.

I found this beautiful home in the "Mayberry-like" village of Dryden while vacationing in the Finger Lakes and knew it would make a beautiful bed and breakfast once it was renovated. It had "good bones" but needed some paint, cleaning, some really nice furniture, rugs and curtains. I spiffed it up in about two months and opened in May of this year

I cook up a pretty tasty breakfast of fritattas, quiches or blueberry pancakes. You will enjoy homebaked banana nut bread, apple bread, scones or muffins.

I have owned several businesses in the past, including another bed and breakfast, an art gallery, a temporary office help service and a café. I have a line of imported silver jewelry with semi-precious stones, marcasite and cubic zirconias. If you are interested in viewing the jewelry during your stay, just ask.

I hail from Orange County, NY, which is a beautiful area bordered by the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. But I wanted to experience this area and all that it has to offer. So far I have hiked in Robert H. Treman and Taughannock Parks, swam, canoed and taken the boat tour in Cayuga Lake, been to Ithaca Farmers' Market, Sciencenter, Cornell Ornithology Lab, Cornell Planations, Johnson Art Museum, Hangar Theatre, Museum of the Earth and Wegman's. I have spent a good deal of time in Found, Ithaca Antique Center, Hub's Place, Mimi's Attic, City Lites Antiques, Green Goat Antiques and Jo Le's Fabrics searching for furniture and accessories for this beautiful home.

My daughter, Marie, lives in Milford PA and is a professional artist who paints in oil everything from pet portraits to landscapes. Here is her website: .mliuart.com

My son, Victor, lives in Charlotte NC and has a line of clothing and hats for young folks who skateboard. His website is skatetwerp.com
