Waterfront Lodging in Ithaca

We don't just
offer rooms
on the lake.
We craft the view.

Every window frames Cayuga Lake like a living painting. Every detail in our rooms is chosen to make you feel the Finger Lakes in your bones — not just see them from a distance.

The Experience

More than a stay.
A Finger Lakes ritual.

We've built a place where the rhythm of the lake sets the pace — from sunrise coffee on the deck to evening walks along the eastern shore.

Waterfront Access

Private lakefront with kayak launches, a shaded dock, and morning fog that rolls in like a painting.

Finger Lakes Wine Country

Dozens of acclaimed wineries within minutes. We'll help you plan the perfect tasting route.

Ithaca Attractions

Fall Creek Falls, Cornell University, and Ithaca's famous gorges are all within a short drive.

Personal Touch

Homemade breakfast, local recommendations, and a front desk that actually remembers your name.

Location

On the shore.
In the center of it all.

Nestled on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, our inn sits at the intersection of natural beauty and Finger Lakes culture. Ithaca's historic downtown, Cornell's campus, and the lake's best trails are all close — but the lake is closer still.
