Vision
John & Rebecca Sidorakis view their role as the stewards of this beautiful historic landmark, River Edge Mansion Bed & Breakfast. We will continue to enhance the mansion and property to ensure the Historic integrity is always in place. Work has already begun…
The Main entry hall and Living room original floors were refinished this past winter along with the grand dining room table.
This summer work will begin on refurbishing all our docks and gazebo on the Oneida river. Unfortunately, there will be some extensive tree removal completed this summer as there are many old trees that have perished.
Upgrading and enhancing the many gardens on the property is also an ongoing plan.
This upcoming winter the 2nd floor sitting area, upstairs hallway and Oneida river room floors will also be refinished.
