The hotel is very nice with an amazing view of the lake. Hotel is well maintained with comfortable beds and attentive staff. My only complaint was the bathroom. It is rather small and the way the glass is set around the shower it was impossible not to get a lot of water on the floor.

this is an older, but updated property. i believe that every room has a great view of the lake. there is a huge deck that overlooks the lake with tables and chairs and white lights at night. the staff are very friendly and accommodating. there is a restaurant and bar with good food and reasonable prices. the location is close to the state forest, waterfront, wineries, and breweries, as well as the small village.

Glad of the late check-in, as we got in around 11pm. Best to checkin while light to find room at bottom of the hill. Charming area, but our activities were based in Ithaca. Great peaceful views of the lake. Very clean and updated. Very little counter space in bathroom.
