"ECCE" is Latin for "behold," and the ECCE B&B in Barryville suits its name-it's on 60 acres of rocky bluff 300 feet above a gorgeous bend in the Delaware. Be sure to behold the breakfast."

"ECCE Bed and Breakfast, on a promontory overlooking the Delaware River in Barryville, N.Y. The innkeepers, Kurtis Kreider and Alan Rosenblatt, have smartly picked a location..."

Guest Reviews

Dear Alan & Kurt,
Thanks for a great weekend. Your warmth and hospitality were way beyond what we expected. All the food was delicious…even the last few bites of the banana, almond and chocolate French Toast! Hands down the best hotel /
B & B / motel experience we've had…either here (in the US) or in Europe!
Warmest regards,
David & Julie
New Jersey

Dear Alan & Kurt,
Thank you for everything. You made this weekend one of the most memorable weekends of my life. Your place is gorgeous and service equally as extraordinary. Nikki and I will certainly be back with all of our friends. Last night my mother told me this was one of the best birthdays of her life.
Thank you again for everything.

Alan & Kurt,
You have taken the concept of B & B to a new level…the combination of location, hospitality, food and conversation cannot be beat. We will be back again for the fifth…or is it sixth time when fishing season kicks in…April / May.

Alan & Kurt,
We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful weekend. Your hospitality surpasses all possible expectations. You guys have created something special, and you have inspired us with what is possible when two people engage in a labor of love.

Dear Alan & Kurt,
Thank you for your wonderful conversations!!! This weekend get away was very relaxing. The two of you are the most caring and accommodating hosts I've ever had. You made my first experience at a B & B wonderful and memorable. Also…. to many more visits in the most wonderful, relaxing place and a new formed friendship. Thank you for everything and your wonderful hospitality.
Cordially,
Michele & Tommy

Dear Alan & Kurt,
Thank you for making my 50th birthday something I will never forget. There wasn't anything undone. Your hospitality and hard work throughout the weekend was greatly appreciated. I am so glad that we had an opportunity to share with you our special time. Ricky and I will be back many more times.
Love,

Dear Kurt & Alan,
Great to see Alan again and to meet Kurt. Wonderful weekend! And…despite my fishing partner…we caught 87 fish in the river in one day! I'll bring my wife back next time.

Alan & Kurt,
Thanks so much for your hospitality and warmth on our 1st Anniversary and our 1st stay at ECCE. We'll definitely be back…there's so much to do. We have to read from each chair in the yard and look for more birds and eat more food and talk! Busy, busy, busy. Felt so comfortable right from the start.
Thanks again.

Dear A & K,
I have never stayed in a more beautiful place…or a more comfortable, unostentatiously luxurious one. (Or one with pencil-signed Hirschfelds hanging in the hall!).
Consider me a regular henceforth.

Dear Alan & Kurt,
This was a weekend memories are made of. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth and your hospitality is amazing. You are most gracious hosts. We were pampered and spoiled. Needless to say, we intend to visit again and again.
Thank you so much.

To Kurt & Alan,
WOW, it's been great! I hope you enjoyed having us as much as we enjoyed being here. Thanks for making our wedding day perfect. We will never forget.
Love ya's both.

Dear Alan & Kurt,
What a wonderfully relaxing time we had. Even though I grew up in the area, the experience of staying with you guys was a completely new one to me. The room was great, the view is excellent and the service you provided was top-notch. What I thought was great was your ability to "mix" the crowd. I've stayed at other B & Bs where people just ignore each other. You guys were great facilitators of conversation.
Best of luck and see you soon.

To Kurt & Alan,
I am at a loss for words. This place was great. Your attention to detail was exceptional. The house and views were literally breathtaking. We have no doubt "ECCE" will be the Best Bed and Breakfast. We also want to give both of you a heartfelt "Thank You" for making our 25th Wedding Anniversary fantastic. Thanks,

We came. We were broken. Now we are healed.
Our best to you both.

Alan & Kurt,
Thank you for a tremendous weekend. We stay at a lot of B & Bs (higher end) and find yours to be #1 on our list. The setting, accommodations, food, quality and most of all the great conversations made our getaway weekend perfect. I am your new PR firm. I have told 15 people so far and plan sharing with more. And we definitely will be back.
Thanks,
Denis & Marilyn

Kurt, Alan and Mother Nature make ECCE what it is…."A unique B & B". Kurt and Alan bring out the best in people and Mother Nature provides the best backdrop. This combination makes each visit something new to "behold". Can't wait for the next visit.

Alan & Kurt,
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! You made our 3rd Anniversary truly memorable (Thanks for the gift!). We love our room with its' fantastic views…the eagles were a special treat! All the food was fantastic…and so attractively presented! We loved eating outside on our final day. You were the perfect hosts…making sure we had everything we could possibly need, from recommendations on dining to directions to get there.
Thanks so much! We'll be back!

Fabulous Hosts - Alan & Kurt - You really made us feel like never leaving! Your home and surroundings are truly magical. Thank you for sharing. From the star filled night to the bald eagle sighting - unforgettable! We will be back. Can't wait to test out the river in the summer!
Warm regards,
Carol & Chuck

Dear Alan & Kurt,
All of the details you so carefully and thoughtfully included make for such an incredible stay. Thanks for the lift to the kayak launch - you certainly saved the day.
We'll be back - just try and keep us away!
Laura & Pete
Westchester, NY

Dear Alan & Kurt,
I don't know how , but over our several visits here, this has become like a home, you have become like family and your breath taking view has become our very definition of peace and beauty. Thank you for making this place so special-we look forward to many more weekends here. I feel a bit like Warren Buffet who says this about the stocks he likes-"I am never going to sell this stock"- for me the equivalent statement is-"I am always going to be back here"-there are some things you just know.
Love,
Kirtee and Sushma
