My husband and I went to the Aurora Inn in early June for a friend's wedding.The rooms were very spacious and clean, and the entire hotel is very cozy. The breakfast was included and consisted of a nice variety of items such as omelets, french toast and pancakes. There was a mandatory housekeeping charge that we didn't really think was necessary but at least they told us about it before we arrived (but after we reserved the room).

We stayed in room #1 of the Morgan house. The inn-keepers were unparelled, the inn was absolutely beautiful, and food was plentiful and excellent (I LOVED the fresh muffins!). I have traveled extensively and I can’t say enough about the Inn!

STAY HERE! You’ll love it too.

The Aurora Inn is located in the quaint village of Aurora on the east shore of Lake Cayuga, NY. With only ten guest rooms, the Inn maintains a lovely ambiance The rooms on the rear of the inn have a beautiful view over Lake Cayuga as the property is set directly on the lake shoreline. Each room has access to a balcony with rocking chairs...a great place to sit, sip a glass of wine and take in the view. The rooms located on the front of the building have a village view looking directly across the street to the well maintained campus of Wills College. The "village view" rooms are located on the main street in the village and are subject to some traffic noise, however minimal.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the main dining room which overlooks the lake or on the outdoor patio with it's own water view. The food is excellent, the wine list very complete, and the service is attentive. Even if you don'r stay at the Aurora Inn, it's worth a stop just for a meal or glass of wine on the deck.

We found the Aurora Inn to be a delightful place to stay and use as a springboard for our tours of the wineries around Lake Cayuga. It is a bit more pricey than most other area lodging but worth every penny. We'll be back!

This is really a fantastic inn. It has been done up very tastefully and is really a cut above your regular inn.

We just returned home from a weekend trip to Aurora interested in visiting Mackenzie Childs, eating dinner at the Inn and spending a day in the village.

The Inn was FANTASTIC! The service, was impeccable, the rooms were gorgeous, and the view is to die for. We were graciously greeted everywhere we went within the Inn and attached village market also owned by the Inn. Coffee delivery to our room was a nice, thoughtful touch, even though we didn't really like the coffee. The only complaint we had was that the food was good, although we expected better. Not bad prices though.

The Fargo however, a local bar and grill also owned by the Inn, was not a very good experience. The service was OK, the food was alright, the portions tiny, and the prices OUTRAGEOUS for what you got.

I'd also stay away from Dories, if you're in the area. We went to this cute little coffee and ice cream cafe interested in dessert and lattes. We were not greeted when we walked in the door, we waited for at least 5 minutes until the girl working even acknowledged us, she was too busy chatting with a friend. The girl, Jessica, was extremely rood. An hour before closing time she basically refused to serve us because she was closing soon. We insisted, as this is the only place to get dessert and coffee in town, and she reluctantly gave in. She treated us as an annoyance our entire time here. She made my husbands latte wrong, and our desserts were stale. We will not be returning here.

We loved Bet The Farm, the village wine store. I adored Jane Morgan's Little House, a woman's clothing store and Mackenzie Childs, a pottery and furniture shop. All three places treated us like a king and queen!

Overall we has a fantastic, beautiful weekend, probably one of the best ever. There's nothing more beautiful than a sunset over Cayuga Lake!
