We came for our daughter's winter University graduation. The hotel had very few guests since it was really out of season. However, we got full service and the attention to detail was felt, even when it could have been different. Our room in Lake View was remarkable with the spectacular lake winter view ( it snowed while we were there). Breakfast was delicious. The fresh croissants were AMAZING. And the Sophie outdid the service and made us feel welcomed.

It would have been helpful if the parking lot at the Lake View building had been salted after the snow, as it became icy. we were there 2 nights after, and it was still icy.

Beautiful historic Inn within walking distance to the State Park. Nice grounds and various seating areas around fire pits and a big fire place. Excellent restaurant (only open some days) and a bar that is open every night. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was great with many choices. We stayed in the Lakeview building with rooms and their private balconies overlooking Cayuga Lake. Large rooms with lots of storage space, microwave, fridge, Keurig coffee maker, and a large TV. Keep in mind the rooms on the lower floor need to be accessed via a staircase.

Coffee at breakfast could have been stronger. For a multi-day stay more variety in the breakfast buffet, like waffles and pancakes, would be nice. Mini-fridge and AC unit in the room were kind of noisy. We also prefer a firmer mattress.

Perfect location overlooking the lake and park. Close to many nice hiking trails. The garden and ground were beautiful, and it was fun and romantic to walk around or hang out by the fire and enjoy the lake view. We stayed at Lakeview room 73, the room is spacious and clean with a decent size patio/balcony overlooking the lake (again 😃). The breakfast was basic but sufficient with a good selection of juices.

- The coffee at the breakfast was below average, it didn’t pair well with the gorgeous views of the dining area. - The Keurig coffee machine in the room was dirty and moldy, and still had leftover water inside. Not sure when was the last time someone actually cleaned it.

This place is exceptionally beautiful! The room that we stayed in was so stylish, beautiful, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was really enjoyable and nice and we enjoyed a picture perfect view of the lake. The atmosphere is great and the place overall beautiful. The staff is very friendly and made you feel at home. The place overall is just gorgeous and the falls are not far to reach. No words can describe the views and surroundings. We had a great time staying there. Thank you very much to Carl and staff. We will highly recommend this place and will definitely come again.

There was nothing that we didn't like.

Everything! The site was in a perfect location, with an amazing view from every corner. In front is the lake, behind the amazing dense forest, with animals like bunnies who come to visit. And the hike to the waterfall starts from the hotel which is really close. The bar was really cool! The fire pits with the blankets to watch sunset is unique and very romantic. The location was great. Just a few minutes to everywhere; swimming shore, wineries, Ithaca, and the other cozy town nearby. The room was very big and convenient, with a stunning view from the balcony and well equipped. Really recommend this place. In fact, we stayed in a few other locations around the lake, and this was definitely our favorite one.

The lack of vegetable on breakfast, and that they were pretty much the same each day. The restaurant on site was veryyyy pricey, especially for pretty mediocre food. Can skip peacefully, better places in each town. However, service was kind.

Lovely Inn beautiful view of the lake and comfortable bed. Breakfast was good but would like a little more variety (see below). Staff was fabulous. My wife dropped an earring down the drain and the repairman was able to retrive it and leave it with the front desk.

Breakfast could have been a bit more varied - staying for a few days with the same buffet gets a little monotonous. Inn is a bit remote with bad cell service (verizon) not really faulting the Inn on that last bit, just thought I would include for full disclosure.

Very well appointed, comfortable room with balcony and lake view. Plush carpet, great bed. Beautiful lake views at the restaurant. Nice string areas with gas fire pits. The breakfast buffet was very good. Staff was nice setting up a table outside.

We had dinner with friend in the restaurant. They claim fine dining but it’s not. Very limited choice of appetizers. One special entree only that my friend and I ordered (lasagne) which came well before the 2 other orders and wasn’t warm. We asked to reheat and the second one came back not warm again. It took forever to get a knife and bread.

Absolutely ideal location over looking the Cayuga lake, moments away from hiking to the Taughannock falls. The grounds are well maintained with gorgeous gardens and well thought out areas to sit and relax. It has an outdoor fireplace that is over the top for a cool nights stay. Also it would be an ideal spot to have a garden wedding with many different spots to choose from. The room was beautifully decorated with attention to detail with a comfy bed and linens. Breakfast was included with the room and well worth the money spent situated in the Victorian Garden room with exquisite views to enjoy!

Nothing… this place is perfect and worth the money.

We loved everything about the hotel! The grounds were beautiful, the main house very charming and our room very comfortable and roomy. We stayed in Lakeview overlooking the lake, loved the modern bathroom, large shower and bathtub with all the ametities. The breakfast was just enough and perfect for anyone (scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage, fried potatoes, cereal choices, baked goods (muffins were delicious), fresh fruit, toast/bagels with all the sides, coffe/tea and variety of juices. We loved the view of the lake from the dining room. The falls are a short walk from the property and a MUST SEE (pictures do it no justice!! Restaurants, shops and wineries all close by.

The only thing that we didn't like was the comfort of the bed. Nothing they can change, it was a king with clean crisp sheets - I guess we are just used to ours at home. I feel bad even writing this as again nothing they can change as everyone has different comfort levels.

What a beautiful setting for a get away. Thie rooms are wonderfully furnished, spacious and quiet with ourdoor spaces and balconies ovev the lake with great walking access to the gorrge walking trail.. The mansion retains si many historical features with a bright dining area and cozy little bar . And the staff ate all so friendly and great to share their knowledge of the regional attractions and everything to enjoy at the inn.

Loved everything.
