Steph was a great host and her breakfasts were amazing. Very laid back and comfortable atmosphere and we appreciated the conversation with Steph during breakfast. We were in the area to see Mama Mia at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse, so it was a short stay for us. However, the Finger Lakes Region is great area with plenty to do during seasonal times Thank you Steph for a great stay!

Stay here when visiting the Finger Lakes

One night visit at this Inn while we were traveling through the Finger Lakes. Great location to explore the area. The Inn is tastefully and interestingly decorated with lots of antiques. Each room is different and has its own name. Lots of comfortable sitting rooms plus living room with couches and a pool table. Wonderful creative breakfast.
