Inn at Taughannock Falls

We don't usually stay in places this nice, but it was the most affordable option for our family of a couple, my 86-year-old mother, and one adult son in town for a recital at Ithaca College in March. We had a roomy king bedroom, compact living area and a second BR with 2 single beds on an upstairs level. Apartment was very clean and modern and bathroom was huge. Best part? It was the best hotel breakfast I've ever had and the views of the lake were the best in the Ithaca area. We enjoyed the short walk to the Falls. I can see why they do a huge wedding business here because the grounds and outdoor facilities were amazing. First class experience, and surprisingly, the cheapest option that met our needs for that weekend. Highly recommend if the prices are reasonable.

The Inn at Taughannock Falls was perfect for our three-night stay. We had the Garden Room, which overlooked the garden and Enhancement tent and the lake. This corner room has tons of light from five windows, ample space, and was very comfortable. The free breakfast in the morning consists of scrambled eggs, the most delicious fried potatoes, toast, bagels, pastries, yogurt, fruit, granola, coffee, and juices. The restaurant was open for dinner on our last day and the food was excellent. On Tuesday when the restaurant is closed they have an event in the garden where they offer burgers, beer, and live music. The location is within walking distance of Taughannock Falls, which is definitely worth seeing, and driving to Ithaca and the other surrounding falls and parks only takes about twenty-five minutes. The staff are very helpful all throughout the day. We highly recommend this Inn and would definitely stay here again.

There were only two “downsides” to our stay, and neither were that big of a deal. First - it would have been nice to have a mini fridge and access to ice. But we did stay in the older portion in the main inn. Again, not a big deal at all. The second thing - it would have been nice to have a QR code on the tables at breakfast to leave a tip for the wait staff. We also didn’t have a QR code for housekeeping. The staff were wonderful and we just forgot to grab cash. We absolutely loved the location of the Inn and being able to hike to the falls was lovely! The room was gorgeous and breakfast was delicious!! We had a wonderful stay and will probably be back!

Beautiful historic Inn within walking distance to the State Park. Nice grounds and various seating areas around fire pits and a big fire place. Excellent restaurant (only open some days) and a bar that is open every night. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was great with many choices. We stayed in the Lakeview building with rooms and their private balconies overlooking Cayuga Lake. Large rooms with lots of storage space, microwave, fridge, Keurig coffee maker, and a large TV. Keep in mind the rooms on the lower floor need to be accessed via a staircase.

This place is exceptionally beautiful! The room that we stayed in was so stylish, beautiful, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was really enjoyable and nice and we enjoyed a picture perfect view of the lake. The atmosphere is great and the place overall beautiful. The staff is very friendly and made you feel at home. The place overall is just gorgeous and the falls are not far to reach. No words can describe the views and surroundings. We had a great time staying there. Thank you very much to Carl and staff. We will highly recommend this place and will definitely come again.
