We had a very enjoyable stay at this B & B in mid-May. We were fortunate enough to have the place to ourselves for the first two nights of our three-night stay, which is likely unusual during peak periods and weekends. It was just what we were looking for – a place to relax in lovely, very clean, comfortable surroundings... More

If you enjoy the predictability of a good hotel chain, do not book here. The Lakefront Inn is a thoroughly unique vacation property; it will knock your socks off. It's actually one of two inns owned by the same woman. My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at the original The Lakefront Inn. It was magnificent. For one thing,... More

Great place to spend a night or a weekend. Beautiful views! Rooms are spacious. Innkeeper is very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was adequate and good. Easy access by car to Ithaca and all the local hotspots. All rooms have views of Cayuga Lake.

My husband and I stayed in the premier room of Lakefront 2 the weekend of May 3, 2013 and had a fabulous time. The rooms were clean and the view from our balcony was amazing! Both mornings we sat out at the little table and had coffee while staring at the crystal blue lake. Diane is a bit of a... More

I had an outstanding stay in the French CountrySide East room and highly recommend this beautiful property! Everything was clean, fresh, and very cozy. Breakfast was waffles and fruit, and served directly to my room. The hot tub was awesome with a great view. Diane was very accommodating and friendly, as well as the lovely innkeeper who was on staff... More

I am puzzled by the reviews of this property. We stayed recently with another couple and had a really decent stay. Despite having shared bathrooms, of which I am not a fan, we enjoyed a relaxing evening and morning at the inn. Chris was our personal chef for the evening, serving a multi-course meal that we slowly progressed through with... More

Writing negative reviews makes me feel bad, and I write many, many GOOD reviews, but this experience demanded a bad one. I can appreciate a certain level of earthy charm, but this place was a BIG miss. The over-all feel of the place was icky. THE ROOM- Our room was IN THE BASEMENT...tile floor...no heat (it was 62 degrees outside)...smelled... More

I,like many other reviewers, have written many positive reviews on this site and truly hate writing a negative one. But I count on these reviews to help make choices so feel an obligation to be truthful. Along with the other negative comments, I would add that all the beds we saw where actually day beds converted to king size beds.... More

Hello this is Polarisdan's wife writing this reivew. Now we stayed in Lake Front Inn 2. I've noticed that there seems to be a different experience in the reviews from the people that stay in the Lake Front Inn compared to those who stay in Lake Front Inn 2. Our experience was not worth the money we paid for the... More
