Pinch us. ✨ Condé Nast Traveler just named the Belva Lockwood Inn one of the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 places to stay in New York's Finger Lakes.⁣
⁣
We're sharing space on this list with inns and boutique hotels we've long looked up to — the people who set the standard for hospitality and inspire how we welcome every guest. To even be considered among them is an honor we don't take lightly.⁣
⁣
And who would've thought little Owego would make the cut? 𝐖𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝. 😊 Because the magic was 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 just the Belva — the grand-piano bar, the picnic-basket breakfasts, the river view from the front porch. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫: the downtown shops, the wineries, the restaurants, the people who make this village feel like home. Owego is the best, and we'll say it every chance we get.⁣
⁣
Here's the thing — You do not always know when a travel expert is going to walk through our doors. That's exactly the point. Every single guest gets treated like family, because that's who we are whether anyone's watching or not.⁣
⁣
We are 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥, we are 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭, and we are absolutely 𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 over every word of this review. Read Anna Staropoli's full story at the link below.⁣
⁣
Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Condé Nast Traveler. And thank you, Owego — 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴. 💛

There's no better way to spend a summer evening than good company, great music, and a stroll through downtown. Stop by, then head out to explore your favorite local shops and restaurants — let's support local together! 💛⁣
⁣
This month, we're proud to support the Identity LGBTQ+ Youth Center, right here in Binghamton. Order The Stonewall Spritz and all proceeds go toward their work supporting local LGBTQ+ youth. At Identity, LGBTQ+ youth and their allies are invited to come as they are — to be themselves, find support and education, and meet new people. 🏳️‍🌈⁣
⁣
Come for the music, stay for the community. We can't wait to see you on the porch!⁣
