Stay here!!!!

OK, I canceled my reservation at a more well-known boutique hotel when I saw this one popped up for about half the cost. Best move I ever made! We had the gazebo room and it was so adorable. Completely private and large with extremely comfortable bedding, a Jacuzzi tub and a walk-in shower But the real charm of this Inn are the owners. They bend over backwards to make sure you are comfortable. The breakfast in the mornings is so outrageously good with fresh homemade baked muffins and scones, along with fresh fruit, and an entrée of your choice. Coffee is plentiful and there are always cold drinks and snacks available around the clock. Location is perfect. Walkable to many places and parking is easy.

Terrific people and food, meh condition of room.

Pros: People and Food Amazing hosts- super helpful, kind, accommodating. Great food, they even packed a take away breakfast for us when we left early to hike. Fresh flowers in the room. Love the uniqueness of the gazebo. Cons: Power issues for CPAP and condition of room 1. The power in the room was motion sensitive so CPAP kept switching off all night. Tried a fix offered by host for night #2 (used different outlet per hosts directions) but it still happened. 2. Shade for the skylight over the bed is very dirty with cobwebs, dust and insects on it. 3. Bathroom has a DIY feel: cracked molding around tub, odd faucet in sink. Ends so close to the front lip of the sink that you get splashed really easily just washing your hands. 4. No shower door in room w/toilet so the whole little room gets wet when you shower. 5.The gazebo is bright and pretty during the day but it does not offer blackout curtains so morning starts EARLY. 6. AC is in the closet with boxfan used to blow cold air out. Just cosmetic, the room was cool and comfy, but feels odd and piecemeal. All in all, expected more polish for the money.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warm hospitality truly made our trip special. The homemade breakfast each morning was a real highlight - freshly prepared, delicious, and the perfect way to start our day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both quality lodging and genuine local hospitality!

Home Away From Home

My stay was full of delights! Madeline and Kenn made me feel so welcome and at home--Madeline's breakfasts were the highlight of my stay in NY! The best breakfasts I've ever enjoyed while traveling--I travel a lot and am in my 60s! The room in the main house was private, nicely appointed, comfortable and serene. Madeline gave me tips to make the most of my time in Ithaca. All her suggestions were excellent and personally selected for my interests. A very memorable time and I would definitely stay there again or recommend the Inn on Columbia to friends. Warm, quiet and beautiful.
