Bed & Breakfast Testimonials

• An excerpt from THE DERRICK. / The News Herald (Bob & Linda Steiner) - Sept. 22, 2018
  "We landed first in the Pine Creek valley of Tioga / Lycoming counties near Blackwell, at the Trailside B&B.  The hospitality of Joyce and Jim Ludwig is first class and her biscuits are better than first class".
  
  
• "Thank you - we had a wonderful stay."
• "Thank you, Jim and Joyce, for another wonderful short stay at your beautiful home in the mountains & the BEST BREAKFASTS anywhere."
  
  
• "Thank you for the absolutely wonderful beds and breakfast.  We loved visiting with you and very much appreciate having such a lovely place to stay."
  
  
• "Dear Joyce & Jim, You two are such good hosts.  your bed and breakfast is as clean as the queen's palace and just as comfortable.  (We) were so delighted by the birds.  We live in an urban community and we just don't have so many brightly colored song birds.  The hummingbirds were the most entertaining of all..."
  
  
• "As a stained glass 'hobbyist' I enjoy making pieces for people who have gone out of their way to make (us) feel special.  We would like to thank you both for your kindness during our recent stay at Ludwig's Trailside and hope in some small way this (gift) conveys our appreciation to you both... Thank you again and we hope to see you again in the future."
  
  
• "Despite the weather, we had such a wonderful time staying with you! Breakfast each (morning) was wonderful & soooo good! ... We were so sad on the way home, we wanted to stay indefinitely! I will have to call you soon to check on June dates, we can't wait to come back!"
  
  
• "Recently came across the poem "Sept" & it reminded me of you.  We discussed it but neither of us could remember beyond the first stanza.  Just thought you might enjoy a copy.  'I have many pleasant memories of your home which are stored in my memory bank.  Thank you for them all.'"
  
  
• Dear Jim & Joyce - Thank you so much for making it possible for (us) to stay at your house for a couple of days.  It was so relaxing & we thoroughly enjoyed nature, the birds & many animals, and your delicious meals was awesome.  Thanks again for all you did for us."

• "Dear Joyce & Jim - We were on the road awhile when we realized we hadn't said goodley and thank you for a wonderful weekend!! Your rooms are so very comfortable and quiet - we always sleep so well.  Thank you, too, for switching our rooms so we were able to stay the second night.  We appreciated that! We also need to tell you that your breakfasts are just wonderful! All the homemade things are really special. I don't know how you come up with all your ideas, but everything is always delicious! It sure gives you a good start to the day! You have a lovely home in the country.  Thank you for sharing it with us. We love staying there!"

• From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Historic trail highlights scenic fall vistas (Oct. 2, 2010): "I took a break in Blackwell to visit Ludwig's Trailside B&B, where Jim and Joyce Ludwig gave me a tour of their comfortable two-year-old home.
  
  
• "We very much enjoyed our stay at your lovely B&B.  We've been telling all our friends about it.  We're looking forward to returning in 2011... You made our trip this year very special.  You went above & beyond in your treatment of us - made us feel right at home.  Thank you!"
  
  
• "Going to Wellsboro for the Dickens Weekend was pretty much a last minute kind of plan.  We were in a panic when discovering no lodging was available in Wellsboro and consider it a blessing to have discovered "Ludwig's Trailside" B&B.  You have a wonderful B&B!! You both were certainly hospitable and accommodating in every way! Thank you kindly for providing a most enjoyable stay while taking in the Dickens weekend!"
  
  
• "Thank you for providing such a wonderful B&B.  It was so clean and we felt very at home. Your breakfasts were delicious and very generous in size.  The location is perfect for biking - which we did and loved it.  We will be in touch because we definitely want to return. -- P.S. We have been... telling everyone about you."
  
  
• "Thank you again for everything this weekend! We both had a great time.  It is absolutely beautiful up here and I can't wait to post the pictures when we get home.  Hopefully we'll see you again soon!"
  
  
• "We enjoyed our stay at your bed & breakfast.  The bed was "great".  Thanks for the delicious tasty breakfast.  Thanks for your warm hospitality."
  
  
• "Thanks so much for a very nice room & wonderful breakfasts."
  
  
• "Thank you, Joyce & Jim, for the gracious hospitality you've shown us.  We've not stayed at many B&Bs but you've set a wonderful example & we may just stay at more as we travel Rt. 6.  Your meals were very tasty, plentious, and filling.  We enjoyed our stay, the nature, the restful atmosphere and the visiting with you, and the warm comfy bed - (actually all of it!). 
  Thanks again."
  
  
• "Hi Joyce, Chris and I wanted to thank you and Jim again for our stay at your inn.  The accommodations were great and the food superb! We visited Leonard Harrison State Park (breathtaking views) and then went into Wellsboro on Sunday.  Still didn't see any black bears... maybe next time! We are thinking that we would like to try cross-country skiing this winter (getting adventurous in our "empty-nest" stage of life) so we may be calling you again when the snow flies.  Thanks again."
  
  
• "Thanks so much for making our first B and B a really good one! We have been spreading the word about how nice it was and hope to get back up soon!!!!"
  
  
• "Again we want to thank both of you for your hospitality and kindness, not to mention the great breakfasts.  It is our favorite meal of the day.  The Apple Coffee Cake recipe is the best I have ever tasted and it will always be a favorite in our household.  From the moment we met you both it was a perfect stay.  Hope we stay in touch."
  
  
• "Thank you for your hospitality.  Hope to see you again."
