Weve stayed here every year for the past 7 or so and love it. It's such a beautiful place and makes you feel the grandeur of what it must have been back in the day. Last stay we were in the carriage house... But I definitely prefer the main house. Best room is the one with the wraparound porch and... More

What a beautiflu home! The owner Maria is a wonderful person. She took us on a tour of the house and told us the history. She made the best apple pancakes for breakfast. We would stay there again! Great location for wine tasting.

What a beautiful B&B! Period home with a wonderful atmosphere. Bedrooms are spacious and well appointed, and public rooms are lovely. We felt at home and were treated like friends. Maria is a fabulous host and cook and adjusted for allergies with ease. Where else can you complement an omlette and then be given a personal lesson in how to... More

We have stayed at the Idlwilde every Labor Day weekend for a decade - I can't say that about too many places in the U.S. - but this is a special place owned and operated by very sepcial people. The Van den Hurks and the Castellana's are superlative hosts. Their breakfast fare is without par and the will guide, direct... More

Since I am new to the "bed and breakfast" scene, I arrived at Idlwilde not exactly sure what to expect. We chose to stay here because we were intrigued by the peaceful experience promised in reviews we read for Idlwilde and were looking for a place where we could really relax. My first impression upon arriving at the beautiful Victorian... More

I just recently spent the holiday weekend at Idlwilde Inn and loved every minute of my stay. The inn is very charming and the wrap- around porch was the perfect place to kick back and relax after a fun filled day. My room was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and beautifully furnished. Breakfast each morning was delicious and plentiful. The innkeepers... More

We recently stayed in the inn for a concert weekend. Normally we travel to the area each year and stay at a B and B closer to Ithaca. Because we wanted to stay close to the concert area, we chose this inn. While the location is beautiful, and the inn has lots of potential, our accomodations left much to be... More

Beautiful inn and view of the lake. Close enough to walk to town but steep enough to want to drive. The staff is overly accommodating. They stayed up well past check in time when we hit traffic and weren't arriving until almost 11pm. The owners come to each table during breakfast and help you figure out what to see, where... More

We had a wonderful time. The house is absolutely beautiful, the innkeepers have done a great job restoring the mansion. We loved it and will be back!!
