This 1818 Greek Revival Mansion on the banks of the Oneida River which is part of Erie Canal . Share a glass of wine in front of the fire in the Oneida River room or on the balcony overlooking the river. Linger over a candle-lit breakfast in the elegant dining room and stroll down to the dock to watch the boats. Located only 10 miles from downtown Syracuse, NY and an hours drive to the Finger Lakes wine region. There are multiple restaurants just minutes away! Call anytime to make a reservation!
If you’re a sucker for period dramas like myself then I urge you to check out this amazing b&b over in Pennellville! My husband and I stayed here for a night after our wedding and everything was amazing! The room was immaculate. The views are amazing. They have a dock to use, a netted gazebo, fire pit and nature walk. It’s nestled in a nice quiet corner so not too much surrounding noise either. We arrived to some champagne to celebrate our I dos and woke to an amazing meal cooked by the hostess. The owners are extremely nice and respectful, down to earth people. Their dog Riley is the best, most friendly host you could ask for, kindly guiding you through your stay, and nature walk if you choose. The price was more than fair as well.

This is our second stay at River Edge. The first time we stayed there 3 years ago the rooms were cluttered with furniture and it felt rather like we were staying in Grandma's attic. We were also put off by the requirement that if you wanted a hot breakfast you had to eat at a specific time. Needless to say we were not planning to stay there again. But is very close to family and so when my husband noticed that it had new owners I called and spoke to Rebecca. She was so warm on the phone and enthusiastic about their plans for the mansion that we decided to book a room for a 3 night stay. Generally we do not stay in B&B's as we prefer privacy but John and Rebecca (and Riley the golden retriever) were such wonderful hosts and fun to talk to that we felt like we were having breakfast with old friends from the very first morning. They've cleaned up the house and thinned out the furnishings in the bedrooms and public areas so the rooms are nicer now. This is a old mansion that was not built to be a guest house so you find large rooms with bathrooms carved out of other spaces. The room we stayed in had a particularly small bathroom which we understand will be changed sometime in the future. We can't wait to see what they've done a year from now when we make our next visit to the area!

Your hosts, John and Rebecca, are certified professionals and have turned this lovely old mansion on the Erie Canal into the most suburb destination! Not a single detail has been missed from the period furnishings, inviting guest rooms with fireplaces and adorned with every amenity you could dream of, to the absolutely delicious gourmet morning breakfast. The setting is ideal with many porches offering privacy and a large deck waterside where you can watch boats cruise the river and grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator on the dock. The hosts are eager to please and serve up the most delightful, inviting experience. You will continue to be surprised by the ambiance and hospitality served up at this wonderful place and you will soon be wondering how soon you can come back!

I wish that I had received the experience in all the reviews I read before booking this bed and breakfast. The reviews all spoke of a warm and welcoming environment with a gracious host and a friendly pup to boot. If I had wanted an impersonal, off hands, unwelcoming environment I would have booked a hotel or an Airbnb.
I am assuming that the change in experience has to do with the fact that the bed and breakfast is currently for sale. Had I been aware of this before confirming my reservation I would have secured alternate lodging.
When confirming my reservation, I stated that my husband and myself would arrive between 3-3:30 pm. When we arrived a few minutes after 3 pm we were unable to access the house. After waiting a few minutes, I called both numbers that were provided in my confirmation e-mail and both numbers went straight to voicemail. After approximately ten minutes of waiting outside and ringing the doorbell a lady opened the door and stated that she was a guest and not the host. She graciously left us inside and stated that no one else was there and that when she had arrived back a short while ago things seemed in disarray.
After waiting inside for about ten more minutes I left another voicemail and sent a text message. At 3:40 pm I heard the side door open, and a lady walked in with other guests behind her. She was surprised to see me and stated that she was told that I wouldn’t be arriving until after 5 pm. In our brief conversation she mentioned that the confusion was most likely because the bed and breakfast was for sale. She walked us to our room where the door was already wide open with the key in the lock. She handed me the key and gave me the code to the house. She stated to text her in case of an emergency and that a different person would be there both on Saturday and Sunday to cook breakfast.
In our description of the room it was stated that a coffee tray would be left outside of our door each morning. This was not done and I am not sure if the Keurig that was in our room was to replace this but once again this was not communicated. The information sheet in the room stated that garbage could be left outside of our room on the table and it would be removed however this was also not done. The room was to be refreshed each day according to the information sheet but no one completed this service either.
Overall the environment was just not welcoming and we felt like intruders. The benefit of staying in this type of accommodations over others is a more homey experience and this was certainly not the case. The house itself was beautiful and the room itself was a delight with a comfortable bed and gorgeous furnishings.
I would suggest waiting until this bed and breakfast is sold as the current owners seem to have lost all desire to be gracious hosts.

I am so sorry you did not receive the attention you deserved, although I m glad you found the house itself beautiful and your room a delight with a comfortable bed and gorgeous furnishings. I needed to suddenly be away from the Mansion and my choice was to either cancel your visit with one day's notice or find a friend to care for you. In retrospect I should have asked whether you would have preferred to cancel rather than have a typical AirB&B hand's off type of experience. I'm flattered that my presence was of such importance! I hoped the Keurig in your room would have helped, but alas you were forced to make your own coffee.

Staying here was such a treat! The house is beautiful and maintained wonderfully, with period appropriate antiques everywhere. The view from the main rooms are just gorgeous, and keep in mind we went in late November when everything was barren. It was still lovely! The hosts, John and Rebecca, purchased this B & B three years ago and they put so much love into it. Breakfasts were yummy. John and Rebecca were friendly and very accomodating, while still giving us all the privacy we wanted. I highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful one night stay and felt safe and truly pampered. Anne was a perfect host. She brought wine, cheese and fruit to our room on arrival, and cooked a delicious breakfast that accommodated our food restrictions. The two rooms we reserved were clean and beautifully decorated and we had our own sitting area with coffee, tea, cookies and freshly baked pastries. We will most certainly return to the lovely River Edge Mansion B & B.

My husband recently surprised me with a 30th anniversary celebration and a renewal of our wedding vows. Kudos to him. The celebration was gorgeous, the setting was on the rivers edge on a beautiful dock patio. It was decorated and many personal touches. The proprietors added many personal touches based on conversations we had shared. They were wonderful hosts and Mr. Sidorakis performed our vow renewal. Five stars and I highly recommend.

Rebecca and John, the innkeepers, just bought this historic home in January 2022. They have accomplished an amazing amount in a relatively short time and are looking forward to more improvements. Even so, it is warm and welcoming. From the fresh made coffee outside your room in the morning to the curbside pick-up at the Syracuse Airport by Rebecca, you feel like special family members. And Riley, the golden retriever, also makes sure you feel welcome.
I have some sever dietary restrictions, so imagine my surprise when Rebecca whipped up a grain free lemon blueberry muffin just for me. My friend and I visited several B&B's during our NY excursion, but hands down, this was our best breakfast. The River Edge Rose, a visual and scrumptious delight of thinly sliced potatoes and bacon, makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Hosted my daughter’s bridal shower here. We did a tea party/brunch. It was so beautiful. Everyone who attended loved it. The food, location, hosts, helpers, the space, ALL EXCEPTIONAL! The bride was thrilled. She was able to visit with everyone and guests were able to move freely around. Thank you for a memorable day.

Outstanding stay here. The hosts John and Rebecca were amazing! Super friendly, great conversation. Gave me a tour of the house which is gorgeous. The breakfast was off the charts delicious. Wonderful presentation and the eggs, WOW!! They have a great eye for decorating and they are refinishing and updating the home. Beautiful home on the water. If you are anywhere near make a reservation.
