How
wonderful to have Green Glen - I feel so at home here and the Collins'
hospitality is so real - East Aurora is just the place for Green
Glen and the colors - What a beautiful town. I'd forgotten how beautiful
the trees were and the neat house and yards - to sit on the front
porch with my coffee and watch the world go by - delightful - thank
you both. -

At
the end of my first B&B experience, I feel I have found Southern
hospitality exemplified in the North. In several visits to the Buffalo/East
Aurora area, I have finally dropped my amazement at the friendliness
and sincerity of Western NY. Except for the fact that y'all talk
funny, you could qualify for Southerners! Ed & Martha - Thank You!
an engineer's life is too full of numbers and routines. Your beautiful
house is relief from the impersonal, hard business world. Comfort,
quiet, good food, and nice people: a rare combination I will remember
warmly. -
