My stay at the inn was simply delightful. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location was perfect, close to both natural wonders and bustling dining spots. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with somewhat lackluster options. Overall, a great stay with minor room for improvement.

The hotel offers welcoming and luxurious rooms with a large bedroom and a four-poster bed, overlooking the front garden, perfect for our adult daughter. The service provided by the Inn and her staff is friendly and attentive, accommodating my quirks like tea in a teapot. The location is excellent, making it easy to walk to various dining options and attractions such as Cascadilla Gorge and Ithaca falls. On the downside, portable electric devices are not recommended due to safety concerns. The dining experience offers a delicious and plentiful selection of organic Quebec cheeses.
