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.

We recently went for an extended weekend trip and were very happy with our stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk from the downtown area and its conveniences. The owners were personable and provided quality feedback and recommendations on locations to visit based on our questions and tastes. The morning breakfasts were absolutely delicious and homey. We were so thrilled with the quality of the food every morning. Everything was clean, uniquely decorated, and you could feel the owners' touch in the construction and layout. If you're looking to do a couple's vacation in the area, then this is a fantastic and unique destination.

Did not really intend to reserve at B&B but glad I did. The Inn is very clean and tastefully decorated with countless thoughtful touches. I had complete privacy. Easy check in and in/out. Breakfast a sumptuous feast with all the variety one could desire. Madeline is a gracious host, warm and friendly in perfect balance.

I've stayed at many inns and bnbs and this one is well-run and on the top of my list! The room was very clean and cute. Check-in process was super easy and hassle-free. Madeline called me ahead to let me know the room was ready for us as we were in a rush to attend a wedding. The breakfast prepared by her was fantastic and the dining space itself was a beauty. She also got a lot of nice local art at display. We loved the vibe. You have to stay here when visiting Ithaca!
