I wanted to give fellow travelers a heads up before booking here. When we first arrived, we met the general manager, Steve. He was quite friendly and gave us a good description of the inn: It’s a wedding venue that also has a few room accommodations.So, if you don’t expect any amenities beyond the gorgeous grounds and a short drive to Ithaca- you won’t be disappointed.

Enjoyed 2 nights at this lovely inn. Arrived and called the number at the desk and was quickly introduced to a staff member with all the details of our stay and the inn. Was given a key and it was mentioned we don't need to lock the room door here if we did not want too.....saw that movie LOL! ....we locked up. The inn is very clean well maintained and has beautiful grounds. Appreciate the firepit but some fire starter or newspaper would have made things easier. Room was very comfortable and would stay again.

Beautiful Inn with lovely grounds. The Chef Tasting dinner graduation celebration was delicious and festive. Thank you for your hospitality! Comfy king bed and lots of fun mirrors. Large bathroom with jacuzzi. Roku TV. Highly recommended.

I booked a room here on Aug. 24 for a stay on Oct. 19. Perhaps I made a mistake by booking through Expedia, but here is what unfolded upon our arrival at 3:15 on Oct. 19. When my husband and I pulled into the parking lot I got out of the car and took a picture of the Inn. The Innkeeper came out and in an unpleasant voice asked if he could help us. We said we were checking in and he said I don’t have anyone checking in today. He asked if I had just made the reservation and I told him I made it 2 months ago. He started scrolling through his phone and said he did not have a reservation. At this point I had pulled up my reservation confirmation and he said when booking through Expedia 90% of the time the reservations come through, but mine had not. In any case, the room was available, however not made up. He requested we leave and drive back into town for a cup of coffee. We left and thought if the room was not made up it would probably take longer than a cup of coffee to prepare for new guests, so we ended up finding a restaurant for an early dinner. It would have been nice if he had asked for our phone number and offered to send a text once the room was ready, but he didn’t. We arrived back at the Inn around 5:45 and walked inside and could not find anyone anywhere. We finally realized there was a placard in the entryway with a phone number on it. My husband called and he said he was picking up his kids and would be there in a few minutes. Once there he took us up to the room and flipped on the lights and gave a very rushed tour of the accommodations. I asked how to turn on the fireplace because there were no directions or switch on the wall. He got on the floor and lifted a cover and pushed a couple buttons and it came on, but he never explained how to turn it off. As he was ready to leave I asked about breakfast in the morning and he said there are a couple restaurants in town he could recommend. I was very puzzled because his sign says John Joseph Inn and Restaurant. We’ve stayed in many Inns and B&B’s and a nice breakfast has always been included. I guess it was my mistake for not researching more carefully. I just assumed for $300 that breakfast would be provided. At any rate I would not recommend staying here only because of the attitude of the Innkeeper, which I believe was John Joseph. The room was very nice and spacious and had our arrival been more welcoming than it was I would have given it a higher rating. I don’t know where the breakdown in communication was between Expedia and the Inn, but it certainly set the tone for a less than expected stay.

More of a wedding venue than an inn. Arrived to a contactless check in which provided us no opportunity to ask questions about the place or its surroundings. Also, this place is in the middle of nowhere. We had to travel 8 plus miles in order to get something to eat as the restaurant was closed for dining.The room was nice and pretty large however, it was not clean. We found Bobby pins on the floor and in the drawers and the coffee maker was riddled with lime scale. The creamers were spoiled as well.. Also, although the sign in the bathroom indicated fresh towels would be brought in if the used towels were left on the floor, the used towels were still there right where we left them when we came back to the room after being out all day. No fresh towels or maid service of any kind. No ice to be found in the communal refrigerator led to drinking warm beverages and to top things off, we had to hunt down tissues which were not supplied in the room. This place may be great as a wedding venue but I wouldn't recommend it for a weekend getaway!
