The property is very unique. The view of the south end of the lake is nice. I thought this was a B & B it was not, my bad? No coffee? Grounds and rooms are in need of repair. Our room had mold in the br. The room was so humid it needed a dehumidifier running 24hrs? Keeper is trying her best but over whelmed. There are much better values for the $ TY

Tacky decor and strong mildew smell

The decor of the “French country room” was low-budget neo French brothel… really tacky. what was most disappointing though was the fact that the room, which is located in the daylight basement of the house, smelled overpoweringly strongly of mildew. We stayed out as late as possible and escaped before breakfast.

A great find!

We were greeted by Diana upon arrival, we were early but this didn't pose a problem as we were able to enjoy the balcony and beautiful view before heading to our room. The setting is quiet and serene, we saw lots of wildlife and went for a short, but steep, walk down to the lake. A great spot to relax and rewind!

Amazing Litttle Treasure

We pulled up to the house and were a little suprised it was in a remote beautiful area with distance lake view. After meeting the owner D we had a tour of the resort. D was amazing a very kind per and made us feel right at home. Each room had cute theme. The town of Ithaca was really fun we stayed 2 days. The water falls and parks were beautiful.

Lower Your Expectations

I had booked a room with a view of the lake. However, one only gets a view of the lake if you leave the room and walk around the bushes. Air conditioning was not functioning, and it was a hot day. For what we got, it was expensive. Rather disappointing overall.

This is a hidden gem in Lansing and wine area. Don't expect the latest in TV's of other high tech (although internet is supplied). This is a throw back to rest and relaxation. We went off season on the cusp of bad weather so did not get to explore the grounds. Diana the owner was very helpful as well as the staff. Eclectic books are spread around - you could spend a week just reading them. In the Ithaca area there are some good hotels and some bad ones - but this is more bed and breakfast than hotel - worth checking out.

Nice but not for me

As the name revealed but not so, it wasn't on the lake. Sure the view is beautiful, the accommodations were neat; little mixture of boho chic and psichadyllic decor. Large bathroom in the villa where I stayed. I traveled alone and wished there were some kind of shades on the large windows. No air condition, I did not turn on the fan due to the accumullation of layers of dust on the blades. Carpet was stained. This is a beautiful venue for parties, celebrations, weddings with plenty of room. Breakfast is extra charge, coffee in the main house. Situated back off a busy road, one could still hear the semi trucks up the hill. Nice, but not for me. Check your credit card balances, I was charged twice..
