There are two buildings - the main one with the breakfast area (and hot tub) and the other building where we stayed. We enjoyed it - and it was quiet. The breakfasts were made with great care. There was a touch of creativity in each dish (day 1 we had mint chia seed pudding which was also her first time making it I believe). Made with fresh ingredients. If not from the garden (truly farm to table) then locally sourced. They checked with us prior for any food allergies and our drink preference in the AMs and then didnt forget it. Great location as well to get to wineries, hiking trails, Cornell, Downtown Ithaca, etc. Highly recommend.

Ishhe assigned me a breakfast time slot I did not want though every other gust seemmed to some to breakfast wneevr they wanted and I was consistently served last. I was not provided a GF afternoon snack as promised and she rudely dismissed my reminder saying we don't have any and finally I asked for a full sized blanket (there wasn't one in the room and it was chilly at night) and she said cant you use the throw (a 1/2 size decorative throw). The room itself was in the front and the traffic could be heard almost all night; the cleaning staff did not clear my room of dirty cups and trash and a missing drawer in the bathroom vnity was not replaced. finally alhough she helped every oher guest she did not assist me with dining or destinations recommendations. they are trrying to run an inn part time and I was not treated well. Did not have a pleasant stay and would never stay here again. not worth anywhere near the price

Where do I start???…read more This place is an absolute GEM if you are staying in the Trumansburg area. We chose to stay here for our elopement at Toughannock Falls (5 minutes away) and it was perfect in every way. We stayed in the Junior Suite which had 2 bedrooms, creating the perfect getting ready space. The bedding is luxurious and so comfortable. The room had a fireplace and the bathroom had a standing shower and a tub. I regret that I didnt take pictures of the room, only videos, but if you look on their website, they have detailed pictures of every toom available! Guests have access to the entire downstairs, which includes a living room, a dining room, a tea room with many tables, a microwave, and a tea station, and a study type room that has an honor bar and a record player. The outside grounds are absolutely stunning, with flowers everywhere. The fountain out front was the perfect location for a first look! We had a traveling hair/makeup artist and our photographer come to the location and staff were fine with this and at times, we had the whole place to ourselves. I later learned that the space hosts micro weddings up to 23 people (I think this is how many people can be hosted on the property). This hotel is self service. When you enter, there is a key to your room waiting and some info booklets. There is a number to call an on-site staff but there is not a staff in the main house all the time. It was very very quiet and comfortable. I could hear that there were other guests in the hotel at times but I couldnt make out voices or conversations which was nice. Literally the only inconvenience we ran into was when our takeout order didnt come with utensils or napkins. We couldn't find any on site which surprised me based on the other things that were provided, like ice machines, glasses, tea stations, alcohol, etc. Just a small thing to remember if you stay here! The cutest little breakfast and dinner spots are nearby as well. It really is the perfect little Ithaca retreat and so close to so many waterfalls ans activities. I cant wait to go back!

Breakfast offerings change daily and she uses the freshest ingredients; I'm super picky and every option sounded scrumptious. It was hard to choose just one! HIGHLY recommend the Gazebo room; it is a standalone room situated towards the back of the property and is very private and romantic. The decor is simple, yet elegant. It includes an oversized jet tub, spacious bedroom and bathroom and mini fridge. There is also a fireplace in the room and is stocked with lavender toiletries. My boyfriend and I appreciated the attention to detail in this room. We will absolutely be back! Madeline and Ken were happy to recommend activities and restaurants as well. There is a lot to do in the area and I cannot wait to visit in the fall. Parking off-street, wi-fi, delicious cookies and juice served in the evenings, beautiful grounds and the list goes on. You will NOT be disappointed with this lovely bed and breakfast.

Jen feels like that cousin you haven't seen in years and you can't wait to visit with during the next Thanksgiving family get together. She makes you feel like you are right at home and leaves you wanting for nothing during your visit. Jen helped us find some great restaurants in the surrounding area as well as helped us decide on which waterfall to visit for an extended hike. Now about the inn. The inn is old. That's the point. It's an old farm-style house and has been converted in to a super charming B&B. We stayed in the Blue Moon Suite where we had our own section of hallway with a king room and beautiful bathroom. The period touches to the suite were fantastic, with a wrought iron style bed frame, light fixtures and exposed brick chimney in the bedroom. Breakfast was something else altogether! Saturday morning Jen made a wonderful frittata with sweet potatoes, bacon and garlic. To. Die. For. Then Sunday she made a perfect French toast casserole from Challah bread. Keep in mind, she sources nearly all of her ingredients from local farms, wineries, and coffee roasters to ensure fresh, tasty foods! We will definitely be returning in the future and highly recommend others to do the same! Oh, and I forgot, she has an inn cat who loves to get scratches behind the ears. Extra bonus stars for that!

We got a tour of the house upon arrival - there are some common areas for hanging out and relaxing, a lovely porch, tea and little munchy things for snacks. There is a shelf with books and puzzles for indoor chill-time. The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We stayed in Suite 4 and loved it. There are even outlets on both sides of the bed (useful for cpap machines!). We had tons of pillows, soft blankets, both heating and cooling in the room, bottles of water, a Keurig in the hallway for tea and coffee, honestly everything I could have hoped for. Breakfast is a cold continental-style but I was impressed with it. I had bagels and cream cheese with fresh berries and a lovely cup of coffee. There were so many choices! They have cereal, yogurt, and even dairy-free milk available. The kitchen cabinets and drawers are clearly labeled so it's easy to find utensils and plates. The hosts thought of everything! The house is located along a fairly busy road so you can hear the traffic out on the porch (personally I find it a calming sound). There are approximately a million very loud bugs outdoors at nighttime due to the proximity to the forest. The windows are great and I could hardly hear any of that from inside - just peace and quiet. Bonus - the location is just a few minutes from the state park with lovely waterfalls and a few minutes the other direction from several cute restaurants in the town. Summary - I loved everything about my stay here and would very happily stay again.

The only draw back was the lack of a dresser in which to empty my suitcase as I was staying 4 nights....but that's the ONLY negative for me. Ashley is always willing to get the firepit going outside!
