As an alumna of Ithaca College, I like to return to Ithaca often. The Inn on Columbia is my go-to…read moreplace to stay, and, when my niece also enrolled at IC, it became the go-to spot for my brother's family, too. The Inn is a unique collection of houses and rooms close to downtown Ithaca - walking distance! Upon arriving, I'm greeted by hosts Madeline and Kenn--and the most amazing smells from Madeline's kitchen! Between the local apple cider and the amazing breakfasts, I tell myself calories don't count at the Inn. Some things to note: -Kenn is an architect, see if you can get him to talk about the history of building the inn -The Inn is dog friendly!! -Snag the gazebo is you're wanting some privacy -Bring hiking boots and explore the nearby trails -Book early... there might be times you can be spontaneous, but for big weekends (alumni/reunion, commencement), the rooms book up WAY in advance

As good as it gets! The owners, Ken and Madeline were such wonderful hosts and very resourceful…read more Madeline prepares the daily breakfasts, which were so delicious and nutritious (e.g. waffles, frittatas, homemade granola, fruit, etc.). 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.

The place was immaculate, and the breakfasts were totally gourmet (Nancy made everything from scratch) and so delicious! Homemade yogurt, fresh fruit, breakfast salad, homemade bread, fresh cider, lemon ricotta pancakes and very creative egg dishes. Simply wonderful! Nancy and Rich, our hosts were very attentive to our needs during our entire stay, and we will return again on our next trip to the area. Great place to hike, see wildlife and enjoy the lovely gardens of flowers. Saw a beautiful red fox on our drive in one evening. And the birds are plentiful!

Beautiful historic home in walking distance to The Commons downtown business area in Ithaca…read more Delicious homemade breakfast included. Common areas well appointed and clean. Now for suggested improvements. Remove room air conditioners to decrease street noise in non-summer months, open the front entrance to the house rather than the side door and provide at least a part time innkeeper presence. Although the owner is available by phone and very responsive, the place misses the friendly and informative presence of an onsite innkeeper.

Despite being so close to Collegetown, we felt like we were a million miles away -- everything was truly perfect and it was so hard leaving! This house is ENORMOUS - if I'm not mistaken there are 8 bedrooms, four of which have bathrooms ensuite which was perfect for our coupled off friends. The house is unbelievably charming -- a super old Victorian, but everything was in great working condition, the house was spotless (especially the beds + bedding which was pristine). We were able to cook in one night with all of the kitchenware which was so lovely, and ate out the other nights. This house is in PERFECT location for walking to both Ctown and the commons -- we even walked to the farmers market on Sunday. There is no lacking of outdoor seating - there's a front porch, a side screened in porch, and an unreal tiny deck overlooking the gorge, which is where I started each morning listening to the sound of rushing water. It was actual heaven. Pat and Shannon were wonderful and helpful and we can't wait to come back and stay here!

It was actually the highlight of the Ithaca portion of our trip, even more than the four or five wineries where we stopped for tastings. The place isn't exactly in the middle of nowhere but once you pull into the driveway of the home you'll feel a million miles away from the rest of the world. The farm setting and the eclectic art throughout the home make this a really interesting place to stay. Highly recommended.
