My husband and I stayed in the premier room of Lakefront 2 the weekend of May 3, 2013 and had a fabulous time. The rooms were clean and the view from our balcony was amazing! Both mornings we sat out at the little table and had coffee while staring at the crystal blue lake. Diane is a bit of a... More

I had an outstanding stay in the French CountrySide East room and highly recommend this beautiful property! Everything was clean, fresh, and very cozy. Breakfast was waffles and fruit, and served directly to my room. The hot tub was awesome with a great view. Diane was very accommodating and friendly, as well as the lovely innkeeper who was on staff... More

I am puzzled by the reviews of this property. We stayed recently with another couple and had a really decent stay. Despite having shared bathrooms, of which I am not a fan, we enjoyed a relaxing evening and morning at the inn. Chris was our personal chef for the evening, serving a multi-course meal that we slowly progressed through with... More

Writing negative reviews makes me feel bad, and I write many, many GOOD reviews, but this experience demanded a bad one. I can appreciate a certain level of earthy charm, but this place was a BIG miss. The over-all feel of the place was icky. THE ROOM- Our room was IN THE BASEMENT...tile floor...no heat (it was 62 degrees outside)...smelled... More

I,like many other reviewers, have written many positive reviews on this site and truly hate writing a negative one. But I count on these reviews to help make choices so feel an obligation to be truthful. Along with the other negative comments, I would add that all the beds we saw where actually day beds converted to king size beds.... More

Hello this is Polarisdan's wife writing this reivew. Now we stayed in Lake Front Inn 2. I've noticed that there seems to be a different experience in the reviews from the people that stay in the Lake Front Inn compared to those who stay in Lake Front Inn 2. Our experience was not worth the money we paid for the... More

The rooms are all spectacular and the decor is lovely. Breakfasts are amazing, with locally grown organic veg, fruit, and even locally milled flour!! If you can't live without AC, sorry! But then you'll miss out on the beauty and the joy of waking up to birds singing. There are lots of fans so just suck it up and enjoy... More

The view from deck is impressive. The house sits high on a hill with an unobstructed view of the lake looking towards Ithaca. A slopping meadow in front provides great bird watching. The room was clean but had no air conditioning and it had been 102• during our visit. Breakfast was poorly prepared and inadequate. The room and food was... More

If you love great views from your room's balcony, and a deck to sit out on late into the evening (especially great if you had the good fortune to enjoy a private Tuscan dinner there), and have a feel for European travel, then you may enjoy your stay here as much as we did. For my son's graduation from Ithaca,... More
