Perfect in every way! Marvelous! Don't hesitate to stay here!We stayed in the Carriage House for four days and it was wonderful! The breakfast was superb (thanks Madeline!), the mix of architectural elements was incredible (thanks Kenn!), and the hosts and their pets were lovely. It really and truly felt like being in someone's home. The staff was so nice, and if we lived on the east coast, this would definitely be our regular getaway pad! Everyone was warm and inviting, and very welcoming, but not intrusive. The Carriage House was so comfortable and was like having your own little modern cabin with all the trimmings in and around it. I'm just sorry we were so busy with wedding guest obligations that we didn't have a lot of time to just relax on the property. I can understand how Madeline and Kenn have so many repeat guests for they are excellent hosts and good, caring people! If we are back in the area again, this would - without any doubt - be our Number One choice for accommodations. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Just a super, small Inn/ B & B. Lovingly designed and maintained. Owner-Host Madeline is great, as are her fine breakfasts. The Inn's dog, Olive is a sweetheart too.

I just got home from a last-minute stay at the Inn and highly recommend it. We stayed in the gazebo, which was so cool. Madeline and Kenn are amazing hosts and the breakfasts were some of the best I’ve ever had.The location can’t be beat - it’s very walkable to lots of things and the neighborhood was pretty quiet (although the college students weren’t back yet!)If I’m ever in Ithaca again I’ll definitely stay here.Thanks for such a great stay!!Rooms: Stayed in the gazebo which is actually a converted gazebo. It’s a beautiful space, well-appointed, but if you’re bothered by morning light bear in mind that it’s windows all around. There are blackout curtains but light still comes in.Walkability: Super close to Ithaca Commons, with lots of dining, shopping, and a movie theatre.Food & drinks: The breakfast (included in the price per night) were truly the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Seriously, great choices, and fruit and fresh-baked scones and muffins to boot.Noteworthy details: The spaces we saw were so lovely and well- designed. Staying in a gazebo was unusual and fun.

I would recommend this chill, little hideaway in Ithaca, close to Cornell and downtown.We loved the peaceful environment and the kind service. The breakfast was ample and fresh. The owners are on-site and welcoming.We would come back. We stayed at the carriage house and it was lovely. My favorite thing was having coffee on the porch in the morning and enjoying the birds’ songs. We also fell in love with their sweet pup, Olive. She was so friendly and an unofficial mascot for the inn. She greeted us most of the time we pulled in after a hike or journey downtown.If you like nature and want to be able to walk downtown, I highly recommend the carriage house. It was so quiet and somehow so close to the downtown.*If you have mobility issues, I would recommend their other rooms. The carriage house has stairs and a big step to get in and out of the shower. But the carriage house offered so much privacy and peace, I would certainly ask for that room again. Thanks Madeline and Ken for the relaxing weekend.Nearby activities: So many beautiful hikes within 5-10 mins by car, 15-20 minutes you could walk to most restaurants and Cornell university.Walkability: We walked to the waterfall trails by Cornell and we walked to dinner downtown.

It's a good location, right near downtown. It is an old house so keep that in mind. We went in the middle of the summer and couldn't get our room cool enough (it has a window unit). The hosts were pleasant and they have a large, nice dog.

Comfortable, clean accommodations, wonderful breakfasts prepared by Madeline, generous hosts (eg. sharing a bottle of their favorite wine) who are knowledgable about the area and willing to share.

It was our second time staying here. We stayed in the Main House Guest Room and it was like staying at a friend's house!The room was nice and cozy and it was great to be able to let our dog come downstairs into the sitting area.She was able to meet Olive, who was such a sweetie!The breakfast was great - Oatmeal, poached eggs and the scones were especially wonderful! Thank you Madeline and Kenn for your hospitality.

My wife and I stayed here during an impromptu escape from our south Jersey reality. Beautiful house, lovely hosts and a sweet dog too! Highly recommended. Our room was cozy and breakfasts were amazing. They have a funky/artsy lounge area with plenty of books and other knickknacks to browse around. I especially loved the motorcycle (and wooden boats) as art. Thanks so much for the hospitality and we would definitely stay here again!

We wanted to break up a long drive to Boston and decided to stay at the Inn for one night. It was a great choice. The Inn is very attractive and interesting. The hosts, Madeline and Kenn, are welcoming and professional. They provided us with recommendations for visiting downtown, hiking to waterfalls, and visiting the Cornell campus. We ate at the Rook one of their recommendations, and it was excellent. Breakfast was to order and was delicious. Very glad we decided to stay at the Inn. Also loved meeting Olive!

We LOVE staying at the Inn On Columbia! Madeline & Kenn are the most wonderful and hospital hosts. The options are fabulous and always clean, well appointed, and equip with anything you might need. Breakfast scones and muffins are always fresh and yummy, but if you prefer a full breakfast, no need to go anywhere but the main house where Madeline will cook you up an incredible breakfast from scratch! Whether you're in town for work or a holiday, the Inn will never disappoint! Thank you, Madeline & Kenn!

Beautiful, clean, and comfortable place to stay! Loved the location and walked to downtown and to the Cornell campus. Kenn and Madeline are great hosts! Very friendly and easy going! The breakfast each morning was unbelievable! So delicious! We had a choice each morning of what to have for breakfast. We are so glad we stayed there!
