My uncle and I rented the Hillview Holiday House for two nights. We only wished we could have stayed there longer. The house, in the heart of downtown Ithaca, is spacious, well-appointed and beautifully designed with a host of eco-conscious details. With its outside deck overlooking a private backyard, we were able to enjoy coffee and cocktails outside. The queen-size... more

If your travel takes you to Ithaca for business or pleasure, I highly recommend this beautifully designed Inn. I stayed in the top-floor room in the main house, with adjacent bathroom. Immaculate. Welcoming. Comfortable. Excellent breakfast with hosts bending over backwards to offer movies, snacks, info about the area. I stayed for a very productive two days, and want to... more

I stayed for a week in the carriage house, which is next door to the main property. The area is residential, cute, and convenient to downtown. The room/suite itself was larger and nicer than I imagined, with a full kitchen. Inside was nice, sort of a subtle 60's-themed smoking salon thing going on. It's not quite a B&B -- instead,... more

The inn, while aesthetically pleasing, was expensive and an overall let down. To start, the room was small, the tub in the bathroom looked as though it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in some time, and the towels were damp. In addition, there was a leak in the bathroom, most likely the result of a problem with the roof. The breakfast,... more

We stayed at the Inn on Columbia for our honeymoon. It was very easy to book online and Madeline was accessible via email. We stayed with our two dogs and found that the b & b was very pet friendly! We also stayed in the room in the main house which we found clean, comfortable, quiet, and safe. When we... more

My husband and I stayed at the Inn on Columbia to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was actually our second time there together, staying in the spacious and serene Carriage House, and we've loved it both times. We enjoy having our own space (our own building, in fact) and the decor of the suite is both warm and sleek at... more

I didn't sleep all night in the downstairs room in Villa Madeline, where the walls are very thin and the bed is stationed next to a noisy, busy street. I was also awakened by my "house mates" when they returned at 3 a.m. The bedroom is adjacent to the main hallway and kitchen. Bring your ear plugs! On the other... more

From the web site to the breakfast I was impressed beyond my already high expectations. My fiancee and I stayed in the Villa Madeline in the downstairs red room. The room, the Villa, and the Main house are just beautiful - take some time to appreciate the innovative use of space and hand crafted furniture. One of the proprietors is... more

This is a lovely bed and breakfast and we found it to be an excellent location in walking distance to downtown and Cornell University. The hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We stayed in the cottage next to the main house that is shaped like an octagon. It is a gorgeous space and one that I have never experienced. The... more
