The owners are super helpful, genuinely caring individuals who are there to help - then even helped my husband tie his tie when he was too nervous and flustered to get it!

We had our reception inside on a very hot July day and it wasn't too hot (I was worried it would be!) We would definitely recommend this venue!

It's a great place if you need a venue for retreats, corporate getaways, extended business meetings, weddings that will include travelers, parties, conferences (fun, educational, or both), family reunions, etc. There is one large hall capable of holding a good 250+ people comfortably (it also doubles as the dining hall), another big recreation room downstairs, and many small and medium sized rooms. There are different levels of accommodations - some hotel style with housekeeping service, and various other types including "Hillside", a comparatively small cabin separate from the main building with its own kitchen, bathrooms, and ~8 rooms. I haven't spent a lot of time here in the summer but there are hiking trails, might be a rope course, and other activities. In the winter you could set up your event so that nobody has to go outside at all, but it is quite nice to walk around sometimes. The staff has always been phenomenal and accommodating. If your group requires alcohol it could be an issue, as they have special rules around alcohol (according to the website, it seems it needs to be served by licensed caterers or something along those lines).

Staff was very kind and it's a great place to have gatherings. Cabins weren't air conditioned and…read morethere were two bunkbeds in each room with I think eight rooms so it is kind of snug.

On a weekend trip to Corning, my cousin and I had some time to kill before dinner. We stopped by…read moreCarey's Brew House for a drink. The first thing you notice is that this is a huge brew house. We thought it was closed because there's a sit-down area in the front before you get to the back where the bar is and the bartender was. It's a converted house. We sat by the bar. Since we were a tad bit hungry, we shared some potato skins which hit the spot. Unlike your typical potato skins, these were thick but fried just right so the potatoes were cooked all the way through, the cheese was melted, and the bacon was crisp. Kind of like a deep dish version of potato skins. I always appreciate a solid beer list and as a brew house, Carey's had just that. They even had my favorite beer, Delirium, which I couldn't help but get to go. Service was solid.

The tea choices, teapot and brand of tea were all superb!! When they brought out the 3 tiered tray, I was terribly disappointed. I have NEVER seen any mini tea sandwich served on a slider hamburger bun! NEVER! All high tears have freshly baked scones with lemon curd and clotted cream. There was NONE. The baked goods were extremely dry. There was a "biscuit" that must have been missing an ingredient as it was bigger and 2x the thickness of a hockey puck. Extremely dry and inedible. Choking down 1 bite was all I could do. Other items like the fudge came directly from the local grocery store. This was just wrong.

The owners are visionaries who have taken an 1870's barn and renovated it into an upscale, environmentally conscious building with gorgeous stone work, massive fireplaces, and three floors, each with its own character. While everything is on a big scale, somehow the beauty enables intimacy and depth -- plus, the acoustics were great, which also made everything feel close and quiet. The location is not too far from Ithaca but it is set in a vast meadow and backs onto a state park, so it's quiet and lushly rural. Not only is the locale pretty, but the grounds are fantastic, with exquisite attention to every artistic detail. The plantings in the courtyard and terraces have a brightly colored, distinctive style that falls into a category of its own -- something like "a European garden with a tropical flare." Inside the barn, there are plants and artwork everywhere, in a quirky blend that somehow coheres into an experience of great beauty and delight. The building and grounds come together as a whole that radiates elegance. Although the effect is quite modern, the blend of old and new is really striking. They have thoughtfully left some rough touches that resonate nicely with the pervasive old wood and stone; for example, a massive beam that still sports an ancient birds nest. There is natural light everywhere. I was so enchanted that on the last evening I took about 30 photographs, because I didn't want to leave it all behind. Our presenter stayed overnight on the 3rd floor and was just as smitten. This was a really inviting place to do deep and thoughtful work; but it would serve equally well for a magical party space. I can't wait to return; and I suspect that each season has its particular pleasures there. (I am especially looking forward to a November workshop where I hope we can enjoy the radiant heat in the floors and a fire in one of the big stone fireplaces.)
