General Information, Policies, and Quirks of Note
Because this may be your first time at a
B&B. Because no two B&B’s are the same. Because a B&B is not a
hotel. And because this house is over 100 years old, here’s some
General Information, Policies, and Quirks of Note.
Children:
Well-behaved children over age 14 are welcome. The
house, however, is not childproof, so notice is given to parents of
particularly curious or active children.
Pet-Friendly
:
We do accept small dogs if their people agree to our Pet Policy
shown at the end of this web page.
Breakfast:
Breakfast
is served daily in the dining room between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.
(Exceptions can be made if your schedule requires.) You’ll get to
try something new and delicious each day. We generally serve
breakfast family style, and all guests have the same
breakfast-unless we have
been notified in advance of food allergies or special dietary
requirements. (We have become quite adept at special menus for those
with gluten allergies, lactose-intolerance, heart-healthy diets, and
even macrobiotic eaters. Vegetarians are a snap!
)
Common Spaces:
The living room, library, front porch, lawn areas surrounding Yale
Manor, and the lakefront deck and boat house are for the enjoyment
of all guests.
·
In the
living room, you will find a TV with dish reception and a
VCR. We have a fairly extensive video collection. You’ll find the
list in the drawer of the writing table, and the videos are in the
bookcase next to the blue leather chair.
·
In the
same bookcase, you will see a variety of board games. Help yourself.
Playing cards are in the drawer of the writing table.
·
In the
library, you will find another TV with dish reception, a
CD player and CD collection. Enjoy the books in both
the living room and library—but please, do not remove them from the
house. One exception: The paperbacks on the bookcase
in the main hall under the stairs can be borrowed.
·
On the
buffet in the main hallway, you will find literature
on the area as well as a book with menus from local restaurants. The
compartments on the left side of the buffet house a supply of
wineglasses (both glass and plastic) and corkscrews, necessities in
Wine Country. Next to the buffet is a small, dorm-size guest
refrigerator to chill that perfect bottle of Finger Lakes
Riesling.
Televisions:
We have
two, 13” portable color TVs with local station reception available
for guests who would like a TV in their bedroom. These are available
on a first-come, first-served basis. Let us know if you are
interested.
Iron and Ironing Board:
Chestertown Buff and Brandywine have irons and ironing boards in
their closets. If you want to borrow one, either ask the guest in
one of those rooms or ask the innkeepers.
Hair
Dryers:
There are hair dryers in each of the four bathrooms.
Telephone:
There is
a telephone in the library for local calls. If you need to make a
long-distance call and don’t have a cell phone or a phone card, let
us know and you can borrow one of our cell phones.
Help
with dinner reservations/touring:
We have lots of opinions and recommendations—perhaps more than
people want to hear. We would be glad to give you some guidance on
places to go, things to see, etc.
Fireplaces:
Monticello Rose, Stuart’s Gold, Chestertown Buff, and Yorktown Green
have gas firelogs. Therefore, you cannot burn
anything in these fireplaces.
The trick is to not put out the pilot light.
If you do this inadvertently, let us know so we can re-light the
pilot.
We will tend the fireplaces in the living room
and dining room.
Checkout
time is
11:00 a.m. unless other arrangements have been made.
Payment:
We accept
Visa, MasterCard, personal checks or Traveler's checks.
Lakefront Deck & Boathouse:
The Yale Manor lakefront is for the enjoyment of all our guests.
§
If you
need a beach towel, please take one from the basket in the library.
§
You will
need water shoes because the lake bottom is not only
rocky, we also have zebra mussels here and they can cut like a
razor.
§
All
lakefront in this area is privately owned, so the nearby docks do
not belong to us nor do we have permission to use them. We own only
our deck and the boathouse.
§
Feel free
to take snacks and beverages to the lake. We like to separate
returnables, recyclables, and trash. There are two garbage cans
inside the boathouse—one for trash and one for recyclables—and we
have the dumpster behind the main house. If you have returnables,
please put them in a separate bag outside of the trashcans.
Smoking:
Smoking is not permitted indoors. Our smoking guests are free to
smoke outside. We have containers on the front porch and next to the
back guest entrance. Smoking is also allowed on the lakeside deck.
Septic
System:
We are on a septic system here, which basically means nothing down
the toilet except toilet paper. We have plastic liners in the
bathroom wastebaskets for disposal of feminine products and the
like. Because of the septic situation as well as environmental
considerations, we will provide fresh towels every
other day and fresh sheets every 3 days.
Windows:
The windows are a bit tricky, and vary from room to room. Most of
them have side locks, which need to be unlocked before you can move
the window to another position. In the common rooms downstairs,
especially the living room, this is a two-hand job—one to unlock the
side locks and the other to hold the window so it doesn’t come
crashing down and break the glass.
How to Find Us:
This house is very soundproof due to the 14” thick walls. If you
need to find us, here are a couple of suggestions. There is a buzzer
just outside the kitchen door near the guest refrigerator. If we are
in the back of the house, we will hear the buzzer. If we are on the
3rd floor, ring the doorbell on the front porch.
Private Quarters
:
The back of the 1st floor, the kitchen, and the entire
third floor comprise the Cunningham’s private quarters.
Pet Policy
The following restrictions apply to dogs staying at Yale Manor B&B:
A. Only two guest dogs total will be allowed to stay inside Yale
Manor on any one night.
B. Weight limit for inside dogs is 50 lbs.
C. Only breeds with little to no shedding are allowed inside.
D. During the dog show, no more than 10 dogs total can be housed
in their crates in the barn.
E. Dogs cannot be left in vehicles overnight if
temperature/humidity poses a risk.
In addition, the following simple guidelines will ensure that both
you and other guests enjoy everything Yale Manor has to offer.
1. Use either side of the long driveway approach for their
“potty” walks. This keeps the lawn near the house clean and waste
free.
2. Bring a supply of plastic bags for picking up Rover’s little
surprises. Pick up must occur immediately; not left for later. This
keeps our property clean and waste free for everyone. Deposit the bags
in the metal trashcan behind the house.
3. Please be aware of our other guests on the property.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a pet lover. (We know, this is a
travesty.) If an unruly pet forces the inn to make financial adjustments
in another guest’s bill, you will be responsible for the amount of those
adjustments. We will try to give you a warning if a guest has complained
so that appropriate action may be taken on your behalf.
4. Your pet cannot be left unattended in your room unless crated;
and then for no more than a couple of hours at a time.
5.
For dogs staying inside, you must provide some type of plastic sheeting
to place under the crate as well as some type of waterproof mat to place
under the dog’s food and water dish to protect our hardwood floors.
6. We charge a $10 fee per pet for each night of your stay as well
as a $50 security deposit for room damage. The security deposit is
refundable upon checkout if there has been no damage or need for special
cleaning such as shampooing, deodorizing, flea treatment, etc.
We
are pet lovers here at Yale Manor, and we want you, your pet, and all
other guests to enjoy your stay.
