One the things that came to mind for me after spending three nights at the inn was that it is like…read morea cruise that isn't a cruise. Why? It's not a ship but it's the kind of place you are welcome to come and go from. Or stay on "deck" that day. So comfy it's hard to mention all of them. Cozy corners in and out. Even a basket of blankets at the front door if you are chilled. The lights on all the exterior lines of this beautiful Victorian lead you up the hill to home after a dinner at a local restaurant. And your take-away (or home-prepared food) is welcome in the guest frig. Guests congregate on the porches, in the gazebo, in the spacious game room, library, jigsaw puzzle room, and on the lawns all day. So much comfy seating at all times. (I think there are over 100 chairs of all kinds in this inn.) Four more amenities that also stand out are the different coffees and snacks you are welcome to all day and night; the USB connections in all guest rooms; the puzzles, games and books to convince you to relax; and the automatic lights throughout the common rooms that stay on until 1 am. Oh, and an Alexa speaker in the gazebo where you can play your favorite streaming music! Marcus and Elin have thought of everything.

It was a week filled with beautiful views (2nd pic was our morning view while eating breakfast), scrumptious/to-die-for meals (my fav is the Eggs Benedict), delightful conversation, impeccable rooms with special little touches, and the welcoming of your new grandbaby The small town hospitality is exactly why we will return again and again!

We loved The Inn at Gothic Eves! Rose is a great host! She is welcoming and we felt right at home…read more She made a delicious and healthy breakfast every morning and the baked goods in the evening were a nice touch. Everything was delicious. The Reisling room has a comfortable king size bed and is very nicely decorated. The shower water pressure was a little harder than what we expected and storage was at a minimum but we made due with that. There are other larger rooms and we would try one of them if we stay a long time.My husband and I enjoyed the best couple massage at the lovely spa next door. Trumansburg is a good location for visiting the falls, wineries or just kicking around town. This was perhaps the most relaxing vacation I've ever had!

Honestly one of the most quaint B&B's I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Ashley along with…read moreDave are "the hosts with the most". There is no reasonable request Ashley cannot accomodate....there are breakfast choices, all which are absolutely delicious, just like mom used to make. Rooms very comfortable as well as the beds. The snack and coffee bar is always stocked and water in the refrigerator is plenty. There is a sitting room with a TV which is very comfortable and plenty of board games. 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! We grabbed a bottle of wine from one of the many wineries close by and hung out around the fire. An absolute highly recommend gem !!

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.

My husband and I chose A Slice of Home because it had an out building (The Cottage-a single wide)…read morewith two bedrooms (each with a bath), a full kitchen, livingroom, and diningroom which was the ideal setup for my husband and me and my mother while visiting the Finger Lakes in July 2011. The cottage was immaculate, roomy, comfortable, with AC, wireless (it worked on my laptop), a hot tub (which my husband used--bad back), and many other ammenities. The inn keepers, Bea and Sterling, were gracious, friendly, funny, very knowledgeable about the area, and extremely helpful. Breakfast each morning was served at 9:00--juice, fruit bowl, coffee, fresh muffins/banana bread/blueberry scones, and a delicious entree such as oven baked french toast with apples and nuts/crepes with strawberries/yogurt fruit parfait, served in the main house in a lovely bright eating area with a beautiful view of the well kept lawn (recently, a doe and her two fawns walked right by the large windows). The location is about 15 minutes from Ithaca (great restaurants/Taughannock Falls, farmers market), about 25 minutes from Watkins Glen (falls, boat cruise on Lake Seneca), and about an hour from Corning (Corning Glass Museum). We also were very close to and rode through some beautiful wine country and had lunch one afternoon at the Thirsty Owl Winery and Bistro--amazing. If you are expecting a sterotypical B&B, this might not be your cup of tea, but we loved it. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and homey. I herewith quote Sterling (the owner): "We are not quaint, charming, or historical," but I have to disagree--it was quaint and charming and we did get a lot of historical information from the owners. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. Great place to stay if your children are students at Cornell or Ithaca. They also have single rooms in the main house.

I've been to B&Bs before and I can assure you this is not what you expect from a Bed & Breakfast…read more First of all, the "decor" is stuck in 1980. There is nothing warm or inviting about it. You walk into an outdated paneled kitchen and living room and you immediately feel like you are in someone's home. It is not a welcomed feeling. There were no snacks offered, limited drinks (only pre-sweetened iced tea) and the breakfast was just acceptable at best (one pancake rolled up with jam inside). The bedrooms are upstairs (again - dark paneling) and it feels more like a rooming house than a B&B. The separate "cottage" is actually a mobile home unit. The "jacuzzi" is a very small, portable soft sided hot tub. I can't imagine how the other reviewer used her laptop because we had absolutely no service on our computer or I-phone. Nothing quaint or cozy anywhere - my suggestion is to spend a little more and stay elsewhere.

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.

The place has a hippie/bohemian vibe, but so does all of Ithaca. Diane, the Inn keeper is an authentic, one of a kind bohemian in the best way possible. She goes out of her way to make you feel at home and welcome. My husband(a self proclaimed square, conservative) was enamored with her. She took a lot of time to give us really excellent recommendations for restaurants and hikes. We just loved her and the place. We had the most beautiful veranda view of the lake and the sunset. We will definitely be back!

Little tricky to find (we stayed at the private house, not main location) I would stay at the main house (better decor and newer) than the private house. Would go back again- because that's what matters. BUT- we stayed at the Aurora Inn last year (20 minutes up the road) and prefer there, but it's about double the price.

Once, on a trip to Tajikistan, I asked our tour operator why everyone on the trip seemed like super…read morepeople and a great trip. His answer was that trips like that tended to be self selecting -- in that case, it attracted adventurers, With that in mind, let me tell you about Humble Hill Farm. If you want the Ritz, walk on by. Crave a great Day's Inn or Motel 6? Keep going. A spacious resort with tennis courts and a huge pool. Don't get out of the car. Want to stay in a small, unassuming farm house in the middle of nowhere? If not, let me tell you exactly what you're missing. Once you enter this tiny (3 bedrooms!!) farmstead, you enter an absolutely magical world. The proprietors, Skip and Patty, are not just world class hosts -- they're world class people! Interested in everything, self-deprecating and witty, great fun, they fall all over themselves to make you welcome -- not as valued guests, but as valued friends. Patty can cook up a storm (breakfasts included), and my 4 day, 3 night stay here included savory omelets with fresh fixin's from the farm, and to-die-for blueberry pancakes. Boy oh boy can that woman cook. I arrived with a really bad back, and Skip came up with all sorts of fun and novel ideas to turn me back into a vertebrate. The rooms were simple but lovely, but the biggest surprise of all was the chemistry. Between Patty and Skip, a retired police lieutenant. Between them and their guests. Between the guests themselves. Think Tajikistan!! The other two sets of guests included a fun loving Indian from Calcutta who arrived by motorcycle with his mainland Chinese girlfriend (wife?) and a husband-wife team of Canadian scientists (the wife was a Vet specializing in wildlife, on a brief exchange program with nearby Cornell, and the husband a biologist, specializing in the study of Arctic mammals, filled with stories about wolverines, caribou and bears.). In the morning, I'd wake-up early and sit around talking with Patty and/or Skip. Then the other guests would tumble out of their rooms, and it would be one big party. At night, everyone would return from their day's adventures, laughter aplenty, and we'd sit around laughing and talking, until one by one we'd head to our rooms --with the luckiest guests heading back last, so that they'd have some additional face time with Skip and Patty. Need suggestions of what to do, where to go, where to eat? Count S&P in! Need a Chiropractor? They won't rest until they've found one and gotten you in. What a wonderful experience, which I hope to repeat in due course -- and hope that you will have the chance to share, too!
