Enjoyed our stay at the Van Voast and will stay there again if in the area. Great beds, sheets, pillow and comfort. Carol is kind and hospitsble. We stayed for one night and had a great quiet nice sleep with cookies by our bed when we got home.

My wife and I stayed here for one night following a family wedding. The accomodations were lovely, and there were nice touches -- some fresh chocolate chip cookies left in the bedroom. Breakfast was very nice and we were able to eat on a covered porch outside. The hostess was very friendly, and was glad to accomodate two extra guests... More

We stayed at this excellent B&B during a very hot spell in June of this year and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The house was charming and cozy and Carol was a very informative and friendly host who was most helpful with directions and suggestions for local activities, bike trails, restaurants, etc. A combination of air conditioning and fans made the...

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.

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.

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.
