"I have stayed here multiple times while my daughter attends college. I will always stay here if they have rooms. My rooms have always been clean and the front desk staff is always friendly. The location is great for walking around, restaurants and a nice uphill walk to campus."

Rustic, Cozy Cottage with Backyard Waterfall and Cayuga Lake Views!

8/10 Good

"The apartment is nice, a unit attached to the main house and consists of two main rooms: a bedroom with a large double bed for 2 adults, and a living room with two pull-out sofas for 2 kids, though it felt a bit crowded for us. The kitchenette is equipped ok and includes a kettle, toaster, microwave, oven and coffee machine. The bathroom was on the smaller side, but there were plenty of towels and extra sheets provided.The apartment is located at the end of the street, which offers great privacy, and sits right next to a small waterfall with a constant relaxing sound of water.Overall, it is suitable for a short stay of 2–3 days max."
