On December 15th Vintage Gardens Bed and Breakfast in Newark, New York was
named one of the Top 100 Bed and Breakfasts in the World, (who you can stay in

timeless and luxurious locations on earth and a Bed and Breakfast in each that make
you feel like a part of their family.
Steeped in unique history, Vintage Gardens Bed & Breakfast is gracefully poised
on more than 2.5 secluded acres of formal gardens and woodlands. Formerly the

the gardens and its own distinctive feel to make a guest’s stay enjoyable. Gourmet
breakfasts, home baked cookies each night, and the charm of a vintage B&B make
Vintage Gardens memorable. http://www.VintageGardensBandB.com “We are
