My daughter graduated from Cornell university and I rented the Yellow Barn and made a one week vacation out of our stay. It was big enough for my 3 adult kids and their significant others. It was a great place to relax, chat, and have light snacks to hold us over until we went out for most of our meals. Being beside the grass and pond with the ducks and geese was lots of fun. We'd sit on the grass in the mornings and evenings enjoying their company and the tranquility. We set up some lunches and breakfasts on the outdoor tables right next to the pond and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very kind and friendly. The Inn is located in a great spot, not too far from anything, yet far enough to avoid a ton of traffic during busy times. We walked to Buttermilk Falls and back which was beautiful. We also took advantage of the happy hour most evenings and enjoyed our glass of complimentary wine before venturing out to dinners in the area. I would highly recommend this spot and would gladly wander back in the future. Tamara Baze

Our stay at La Tourelle was our first travel experience since some of the restrictions related to the pandemic were lifted, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice to stay there. The staff was professional and accommodating, and we felt safe and comfortable during the entire three-night stay. After checking in, we headed to the trail for Buttermilk Falls State Park, accessible from the property, and completed the round-trip hike in about two hours. We had breakfast al fresco at The Bistro the following morning, which was plentiful and delicious; we opted for the "full breakfast" and ended up taking the scones and fruit cup to go, which we stored in the fridge in our room and ate for an early breakfast the next morning before driving to Watkins Glen (45 minutes) to hike in the state park there. La Tourelle's location feels pristine and remote, yet is accessible to all the things in Ithaca that we wanted to do (Buttermilk Falls, Treman, Taughannock Falls, Ithaca Beer Company, Boatyard Grill, Collegetown Bagels, among others). We'd definitely stay there again, and we'd recommend the property to others visiting the Finger Lakes.

As a group of four, we stayed in the Mickey Suite and it was perfect! The dining table was the perfect size for our food we picked up from nearby restaurants. Views from all the windows kept the suite light even with some inclement weather. The beds were all extremely comfortable with a big bathroom that featured two separate sinks with well lit mirrors. When we needed help with WiFi or knives to cut cheese, they were all provided for quickly and efficiently. Not to mention the ability to hike into the upper part of Buttermilk State Park, which provided needed exercise and autumn colors with exciting gorge views. We will be back!!! Thank you to Scott and his helpful staff!!
