Had a wonderful 3 days here. Madeleine and Ken, were excellent and helpful hosts, providing suggestions for walks, wineries and restaurants. The daily homemade breakfast was delicious and varied each day. We particularly loved the fresh homemade muffins and scones. Lovely touch to have access to complimentary snacks, fruit and drinks through the day as well. Great location, comfortable room and an easy walk into town.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warm hospitality truly made our trip special. The homemade breakfast each morning was a real highlight - freshly prepared, delicious, and the perfect way to start our day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both quality lodging and genuine local hospitality!

Home Away From Home

My stay was full of delights! Madeline and Kenn made me feel so welcome and at home--Madeline's breakfasts were the highlight of my stay in NY! The best breakfasts I've ever enjoyed while traveling--I travel a lot and am in my 60s! The room in the main house was private, nicely appointed, comfortable and serene. Madeline gave me tips to make the most of my time in Ithaca. All her suggestions were excellent and personally selected for my interests. A very memorable time and I would definitely stay there again or recommend the Inn on Columbia to friends. Warm, quiet and beautiful.
