A charming Victorian setting in the heart of Ithaca with friendly staff. Especially fun for those who love the antique grandeur of 19th century homes, but with modern showers and air conditioning.

Fabulous stay, my daughter and I were sad to leave even though we were headed to the beach from the Inn. Friendly inn keepers and cooks. Yummy breakfasts and a cozy room. We stayed in The Library. All in all a perfectly enchanting place! I am hoping to visit Ithica every season and if I do I will stay at this Inn.
