Very cute property with such gracious hosts. It’s a great spot to stay in Ithaca that isn’t a mass market hotel chain/brand.

Had a wonderful 3 days here. Madeleine and Ken, were excellent and helpful hosts, providing suggestions for walks, wineries and restaurants. The daily homemade breakfast was delicious and varied each day. We particularly loved the fresh homemade muffins and scones. Lovely touch to have access to complimentary snacks, fruit and drinks through the day as well. Great location, comfortable room and an easy walk into town.

The hosts were truly hospitable. They gave us information about the area as well as made amazing breakfasts each morning. We loved hiking several trails with water falls in the Ithaca area. We also loved that we could walk into town.

The Inn on Columbia is a great choice for couples traveling to Ithaca. It is a lovely home and the room was very comfortable. Madeline's breakfasts were outstanding and we loved having Olive greet us in the morning! It's also a short walk down to the Commons where there's plenty of things to do. Highly recommend!

Owners were very nice, and especially welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and is just as good, if not better, than most of the restaurants in town.

Anniversary Escape to IIthaca

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the Gazebo Room at Inn on Columbia. It couldn't have been better. Madeline was wonderful - she accommodated my husband's special dietary needs and she was so willing to offer suggestions about things to do in the area. She even left a bottle of champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary. We especially loved being greeted by Olive who also tolerated our 2 dogs who joined us. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Ithaca.
