Perfect location to visit Ithaca and many local trails. Dog friendly yet clean every time we stay here. Convenient parking outside your door. Local, natural, personal touches. Wonderful owners and staff.

We always enjoy staying at this lovely updated motel. The service is exceptional, the rooms are retro chic and clean and the beds are extremely comfortable! It is a beautiful drive to get back to campus and the rest of Ithaca. Jessica and Kathleen and Raina were all lovely in assisting us and making our stay five stars. Highly recommend getting the coffee service kit for early risers. The breakfast they provide starts at 8 AM and is delicious local yogurt, granola and oatmeal plus....

NEVER AGAIN. We returned from a long day of travel and Cornell graduation to a dog in the next room barking continously now for several hours, now nearly 10pm. Left message on Front Office and After Hours numbers an hour+ ago with no response. Left message for Animal Control who quickly returned our call and then called the hotel Manager. The Manager called the guests back to the hotel and the dog is now quiet - after several hours of our aggravation and lost sleep!

Grayhaven is our pick for hotels in Ithaca. It’s a small, family run, dog friendly hotel that offers outdoor fire pits, hiking trails, great bird watching and nature. It’s a step back in time with comfortable rooms and a lovely farmhouse to have your morning coffee. The only issue is the fire tv is slow to respond.

I have stayed here many times while visiting Ithaca and have always had a great experience. The motel has a cool retro vibe with several different styles of rooms available in the 3 buildings. The rooms have all been renovated and are in great condition. The property is lovely with gorgeous flower beds all around and a nice view of the natural area and creek from the back side of the property. It is very conveniently located to both Buttermilk Falls and Treman State Parks - located halfway in between about 1 mile from the entrance of each park. Its about a 10 minute drive into Ithaca. Most of the rooms allow pets. The property has a large trail network where you can take your dog for long walks. They serve a light breakfast of organic granola and yogurt each morning in the main house, which also exhibits art by local artists for sale. The only downside is a little road noise at times from Rt 13 out front.
