My fiancee and I stayed at the Captain Visger house this past weekend as a Valentine's Day Get away. This was the second time that we had stayed here, both times we were in the Ella Suite. The Ella Suite has one of the most comfortable beds that either one of us have ever layed in. The linens were prestine... More

We had a wonderful time at the Captain Visger house. The home is lovely, Sam was a great host and our room was beautiful. The fall leaves were in full bloom. We had the captains room, which was perfect. The breakfast Sam made for us for unbelievable and some of the ingredients came right out of her garden!

As soon as you walk into the Captain Visger House you feel as though you've walked into your sister's home. While the decor is eye catching and beautiful, Sam's friendliness and genuine desire to please tells you..."we've chosen the right place". My husband and I celebrated our Fortieth Wedding Anniversary there (we are young children of the fifties).The house is... More

My husband and I stayed at the Captain Visger House and just loved it. The room was wonderful and the breakfast was amazing. I'm a vegetarian so Sam offered to make a chard dish for breakfast..my meat and potatoes husband was hesitant but breakfast was out of this world! Very flavorful and unique but not weird..:-). It is apparent Sam... More

Our 2 nights in the Captain's Suite were heavenly! The Inn is beautiful, and spotless! The decor is delightful. The breakfasts were scrumptious, exactly what we love on vacation...something we never could have made on our own. Sam is a delight, and clearly loves what she does. It was obvious that our comfort (and taste buds!) were her foremost concern.... More

Our stay at Captain Visger House was a complete delight. Unlike the reviewer before me, I did read the website and was looking forward to meeting the cats. The house is gorgeous and lovingly maintained in ship-shape condition. From the moment I walked in (I was meeting my boyfriend there and arrived first) I felt at home and welcomed. Sam,... More

Found this b&b onTripadvisor and thought it would be okay. Well, it wasn't. First off, DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE A CAT ALLERGY!!! The proprietor does not mention on her website that she owns two cats that wander the property and "generally avoid" the rooms! I am deathly allergic to cats and had to cut my trip short as... More

I never seem to respond to the positive reviews. Thanks to all who offer kind words. To all who read these reviews all I can say is that I value each and every guest who walks through my door and I try to make this a great experience! The negative ones do get my attention. I am always sorry when... More

We stayed two nights and had a wonderful time. Great food, great service, great conversations. Sam (the innkeeper/owner) was a joy and gave us recommendations for dinners and a history of the area. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were exceptional.

This is our favorite B & B. We try to visit a couple times a year, knowing the the service and food will be delightful. It's like our home away from home. It's located in the heart of Alex Bay and gives you the ability to walk into town and shop, eat and enjoy local entertainment. It is also a... More

What a pleasant surprise. My fiancé surprised me with a 3 day stay at Captain Visger House. We were at the end of a 2 week vacation through New York State. Tim and Sam did a great job of renovating the house. Modern features yet they kept it true to the period. Sam was a delightful hostess, very welcoming. The... More
