Thank you again Kimberly and Michael!
This was our second stay at the Vintage Gardens, and once again it was amazing. Kim and Michael always have amazing suggestions on things to do and see in the area.
The breakfast are the best part of this stay, Kim is an amazing cook and her breakfast are soo very original and very scrumptious!
We were there this time in the fall, and were able to see the deer who had her babies it was such an amazing site!
Thanks again Kim and Michael
Until next time...

Our second stay at the Vintage Gardens B&B was even better than our first! Kimberlee and Micheal graciously accommodated our late arrival, and anticipated our every need througout our 2-day stay. They recommended top-notch restaurants and points of local interest which enhanced our experience. The gourmet breakfasts, cheese & cider in the afternoon, and cookies at bedtime were all very delicious. Kimberlee & Michael are passionate about their business and it shows in everything they do. We are looking forward to our next visit already. Many thanks!

It's a lovely building, in a tree-shaded gracious old neighborhood, and our room was just as advertised online, in fact, it was even bigger than it looked. The bed had soft, luxurious, flannel linens and was very cosy. I had forgotten that our room would have a fridge, so that was a good surprise for our leftovers and drinks. Kimberlee had hot apple cider and crackers and cheese downstairs on our arrival, plus the wood pellet stove was going and giving off wonderful heat (it was rainy and a little chilly outside.)
Then, despite the fact that Kimberlee usually walks with the "girls" each morning on the canal, and would have to miss it,she graciously offered to have our breakfast ready by 7 AM, even though the only other guests wouldn't be ready for theirs until 8:30! I was so grateful, because a big part of the B & B experience is the great breakfast! This was my husband's first time at a B & B, and I wanted him to experience the breakfast. (We had to have it so early because we had a 12 hr trip home ahead of us.)
Kimberlee helped us with not only how to get to the Canal, but the best walk to see the most, and informative brochures. She also helped us with finding an ATM the next morning, plus a lot of interesting talk about her move from Calif. and how she loved it here now.
The only note I would make to others about the experience, is that the American Beauty Room and the English Tea Room have to share a bathroom in the hall, and I didn't realize that from the internet site description. The bathroom was big and picturesque, and it all worked out fine sharing, but you kind of like to know that ahead...
Thank you so much, Kimberlee, for accomodating our early breakfast, and for the lovely clean and comfortable room!

Once again, our stay at Vintage Gardens was delightful - from the scrumptious breakfasts to watching a mother deer and her fawns eat breakfast in the gardens!

Our room was so comfortable and cosy.

Kimberlee and Michael certainly love what they do. Kimberlee has so much knowledge about the area and is full of great recommendations.

As my husband says, see you again next year.

Vintage Gardens is a very beautiful B&B inside and out. The grounds are lovely, you can enjoy your coffee sitting outside while watching the deer grase in the trees on the property. You are only 15 minutes to Waterloo were all the outlet stores are..and then only 45mins to an hour drive down the finger lakes to see all the falls NY state has to offer and visit a winery or two along the way as there is many to see.
When you get home you are welcomed to fresh baked cookies for the night.
Every morning you awake to the most amazing smells of breakfast being cooked by Kimberlee.
Thank you Kimberlee and Michael for a most wonderful stay. We will be back for sure!!

Kimberlee and Michael are great hosts, they made our stay most enjoyable. Asian Lilly suite was most amazing and the B&B over all was simply beautiful. We recommend it to anyone who would like to feel at "home" away from home.

Thank you to Kim and Michael for the wonderful weekend.

See you soon !!

This is THE place to stay for anyone bicycling along the NYS Canal Path. The B&B is a short pedal of 2 blocks from the path. The accommodations are gorgeous and cozy; the hosts, Kim and Michael, are very welcoming. Bikes can be stored safely and soundly in the Carriage House. We just came back from our second annual Labor Day trek to Vintage Gardens. Kim left gourmet cookies in our room in the evening and stocked our packs the next morning with granola bars and apples - a nice touch! A highly recommended oasis after a long day on the scenic Canal Path.

We were impressed upon our arrival at the beauty of the grounds and the statliness of the house. It is obvious that our host and hostess love their turn of the century house and it shows in all the gracous touches that they offer thier guests. The B&B is not far from Belhurst Castle which we would recommend for a very unique dining experience. Our other highlight was renting bikes in Fairmount and biking 7 miles along the picturesque Erie Canal towpath to the quaint village of Pittsford where they have great restaurants and shops. The biketrail was level along the canal and required no real effort. Along with stopping at several wineries we topped off our Finger Lake visit with an authentic German dinner at the Castle Griesch. Our respite could not have been better. A big thank you to our wonderful hosts Kimberlee and Michael

We enjoyed our stay with you. Your B&B is very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing in you beautiful yard. The peanutbutter cookies were great at bedtime. And the breakfast omlets were delicious. We would stay with you again.

Great weekend with my sisters!! While we didn't get to meet the owners, Barbara and Greg were the perfect hosts. They are so warm and friendly, We felt like we knew them for years. The house was absolutely beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. Totally gourmet!! Thank you again. We look forward to our next visit.

We just returned home from our lovely stay at the Vintage Gardens B&B. When arranging accommodations for my high school reunion, I was so pleased to see that the house where I spent so much time as a babysitter 2 decades ago had been converted to a B&B. The hospitality, accommodations and gardens were stellar and we'd recommend Vintage Gardens to any and all who want a truly memorable stay in the Finger Lakes. Thank you, Kimberlee and Michael. We look forward to our next visit.

Great hospitality, Very comfortable,Imaginative menu expertly executed. We look forward to our next visit.
Thank you Michael and Kimberlee

On our first trip to upstate NY we discovered Vintage Gardens maybe by accident but mostly by luck. We love staying at B&Bs, and this is the most wonderful that we have experienced. Every aspect of our stay was superb: the house was beautifully restored and immaculate; the food was creative, delicious, and abundant; the bed was amazing along with the linens; the room was lovely with the sun rising over the gorgeous gardens (where from the bed you could watch a doe eating Kimberlee's beautiful roses). Kimberlee went beyond description to make sure every need was attended, and we were at home the moment we entered the front foyer. We had rented a boat to travel on the canal, which was an awesome experience, but we fell in love with Vintage Gardens and spent four days there. The area is beautiful, full of history, and we plan to vacation in Newark again just to visit Michael and Kimberlee and their Vintage Gardens. This is a five-star establishment to the credit of these hardworking and talented people.

What a BEAUTIFUL establishment and WOW...the breakfast was fit for royalty!!! Thank you so much for such a relaxing weekend. I would recommend this to everyone!!!

Kim and Mike very friendly hosts and what a wonderful breakfast! We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary and what a lovely room for a romatic get away.

Kimberly and Michael were most welcoming at this delightful B and B. It was very clean, bright and the garden views just wonderful. The beds were luxurious and the breakfasts delicious. Within two blocks the Erie canal beckons for long morning walks. Our first night was so delightful we returned on our way back through and stayed again. I'm know we'll be back. We have stayed at many B and B's and this one gets our top rating.

My husband and I have stayed at Vintage Gardens B&B twice, (while visiting my mom) and both times we have had excellent service and wonderful accommodations. All the rooms are beautiful, very clean and cozy. The breakfasts are delicious and the owners are friendly, helpful and just delightful. My husband and I highly recommend this B&B and plan on once again staying there next time we visit my mom.

Please allow me to add my thanks and admiration to Kimberlee and Mike Meeks for their wonderful and inviting accommodations at Vintage Gardens Bed and Breakfast. I had the good fortune to work with the Meeks' to lodge visiting members of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The guests from the NTHP were extremely happy with our selection for their housing and most complimentary regarding their hosts. Friendliness and attention to detail is what separates Vintage Gardens apart from others. The guest rooms are lovely and amazingly comfortable while breakfast was as scrumptious as it was beautifully presented. First class all the way...Vintage Gardens will not disappoint!

My wife and I were visiting Newark for a job interview in December. We stayed at Vintage Gardens B&B for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were the only people staying during our weekend, but the owners had a fire going for us, made cookies each evening, and had tremendous and filling breakfasts each morning. They worked with our schedule and served breakfast when it worked for us. Also, when we left on Monday morning Kimberlee packed some extra food for us to take on our trip home. It was a great place to stay and we recomend it.

One last random story. They have a wood pellet stove that they use for heating. I had heard of the stoves, but did not really know much abou them. When I questioned Michael about it, he spent 20 minutes conversing with me about the stove and its usefulness answering all of my questions. They really are great hosts.

I haven't stayed there, I just wanted to say hello. I grew up down the street. My childhood home was 201 Scott St., the large brick on the corner. I was feeling nostalgic this afternoon and happened on your site. I'm pleased to see that your house is now a B&B and that it is getting such rave reviews. I am now 61 years old, and left Newark when I was about 18, although my mom and dad lived there well beyond that. I did come back briefly for my father's funeral and I hope to get back to visit again just to see all the changes. I have some very fond memories of growing up in Newark. We moved to Grace Ave. when I was about 16, but lived in the Scott St. house until then. All the best to you.
