    cozy ambiance
    leaky shower hose

    The views from the balcony were absolutely stunning, and I loved the cozy ambiance with its unique decor. Just a minor issue with the shower hose leaking. I'd definitely come back!

    lake view
    pool area
    thin pillows

    We had an amazing time enjoying coffee on our balcony while soaking in the stunning lake view—such a peaceful start to each morning! The pool area was perfect for relaxation and the lovely outdoor space was just what we needed. Just a heads up, the pillows could use an upgrade since they felt a bit too thin and slippery for my taste. 🌅

    amenities mismatch

    The amenities here are non-existent, which feels misleading based on the website. I found the pull-down shower hose leaked slightly at a connector, although it didn't affect usage. The furniture on the outside space was dirty. Thin, slippery pillows led to an uncomfortable night's sleep, while the bathroom could use more counter space. The lack of direct access to the lake despite its description as lakefront was a letdown.

    delicious breakfast
    lack of gym

    Amazing views and delightful breakfast!

    We spent 3 nights in a King Room with Lake View. The views were stunning and the host, Dianne, was super friendly! She whipped up some of the best breakfasts I've had. The only bummer was the lack of a gym, but that didn’t ruin our stay at all.

    spacious room
    cozy bedding
    private balcony
    small bathroom
    low shower pressure

    The King Room with Lake View was spacious and cozy. The king-sized bed was firm, and the bedding was really comfortable. Plus, the private balcony made the views of Cayuga Lake a total standout. The decor felt homey with some charming antiques. Just a couple of minor things, small bathroom with not much counter space and our shower could’ve been a bit hotter. But overall, a nice stay!

    breathtaking view
    charming decor
    less personal interaction
    limited dining options
    short stay

    The sweeping vista from our king room was breathtaking, making the balcony a perfect retreat for birdwatching while sipping wine. The decor showcases a charming blend of European romance, filled with curated treasures and homely touches. Breakfast crafted from freshly picked ingredients was a delightful start to the day, though other aspects felt less personal than expected.

    poor upkeep
    misleading description

    The sweeping views of the lake were absolutely stunning! 🌅 Our host was delightful, offering a homey atmosphere and wonderful recommendations. However, the distant lake view was a bit misleading. the property could use better upkeep.

    hot shower

    It was just a great fit for a weekend vacation in Ithaca with good value for price. I really enjoyed the hot shower after a long day out. Bring your own toiletries and snacks. they might not have everything you need on-site.

    fine lake
    inviting decor
    peaceful atmosphere
    lack of bath

    Cayuga Lakefront Inn charms with fine lake views and inviting decor. I enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere, though a lack of a hot bath was a minor letdown. A good experience to explore the area’s beauty.

    We enjoyed a cozy stay with beautiful lake views in our King room. The hot shower was a wonderful touch in winter! For a great meal, try the nearby lakeside restaurant – perfect for a romantic dinner. Bring your swimsuits for warmer months!
