My husband and I stayed at the Inn for two nights while in town to visit our granddaughter. Lynette was a wonderful host, room was comfortable, and breakfast tasty. We particularly appreciated that there were choices at breakfast from cereal and milk to pastries along with a pick of a sweet or savory hot course. Our room was large and... More

The WHM Inn exceeded all our expectations. We spent four nights in Ithaca and would have been happy to stay another four nights. The hospitality of the staff was superior. Lynette, Dave and the crew were always onhand and happy to assist us with our queries, from giving us hand typed notes to local attractions (waterfalls, malls etc) to even... More

It was a delight to have you stay with us. We're so glad you enjoyed the breakfasts and the desserts (Dave says he's sorry......)! Laundry is something we really do as a courtesy. We honestly never thought about it as part of the rate but know that when guests have been on the road for a while, they should enjoy... More

My husband and I stayed here while attending a conference at Cornell. Our visit began without much to-do, and without much 'introduction' - but our stay was really quite wonderful. Our room was very comfortable - very spacious, lovely linens, nice amenities. (We just didn't have enough time to spend in it.) The cooked breakfasts were a real high point... More

Thank you for your lovely words about the Inn. Dave and I had a long discussion about your arrival. Normally, my job is "front of the house" and Dave takes care of all homemade breads, cooking, and "back of the house". I was out of town for a meeting and when you arrived, there was some confusion about two different... More

The WHM Inn deserves the amazing reviews that it gets. It is the best B&B that I have ever stayed in. The owner and staff are wonderful -- Lynnette is a fantastic host. The rooms are comfortable and charming. The location, right in the middle of Ithaca, is ideal. The breakfasts are delectable. And then there are the extras that... More

Our host personally welcomed us upon arrival, during our stay, and at departure. The staff is professional and courteous. Our room was meticulous, well adorned with a gorgeous private bath. Dining options were plentiful, with the ability to choose from multiple foods at each meal, allergy/preferences considered, and a variety of seating options by time and place. And the locale... More

We stayed at William Henry Miller Inn while visiting Cornell. It's hard to imagine any way it which it could have been better! The B & B is only a short stroll from downtown Ithaca with all its shops and restaurants and with easy access to Cornell. Best of all was Lynette!
