Inn on Columbia

Stayed in the Carriage House for four days and it was wonderful! The breakfast was superb (thanks Madeline!), the mix of architectural elements was incredible (thanks Kenn!), and the hosts and their pets were lovely. It really and truly felt like being in someone's home. The staff was so nice, and if we lived on the east coast, this would definitely be our regular getaway pad! Everyone was warm and inviting, and very welcoming, but not intrusive. The Carriage House was so comfortable and was like having your own little modern cabin with all the trimmings in and around it. I'm just sorry we were so busy with wedding guest obligations that we didn't have a lot of time to just relax on the property. I can understand how Madeline and Kenn have so many repeat guests for they are excellent hosts and good, caring people! If we are back in the area again, this would - without any doubt - be our Number One choice for accommodations. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We just returned home from a mid-week getaway up to Ithaca and had to write up our review of this fantastic inn; first time and surely not our last, this is a perfect spot if you want to spend some quality time in Ithaca hiking, eating, exploring - the Inn on Columbia is in a quiet neighborhood a few blocks from downtown (we walked to dinner and back even after a day of hiking) with beautiful gardens and a serene atmosphere that you won’t find in a big hotel. We stayed in the gazebo which is as luxurious as described on the website; breakfast is a freshly prepared choice of four dishes with fresh fruit, breads, juice and coffee that was out of this world delicious. Thank you Madeline for tips on restaurants and hikes - you are the most gracious of hosts!
