Convenient location, quiet and private. It's near the wineries and Taughannock Falls. Beautiful, Cayuga lakeside location with exceptional views from my bedroom and the back porch. The house is just feet from the lakeshore. Tammy and Jim are great hosts, full of suggestions, friendly and accommodating. Rooms are spacious, my bed comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and filling. They even put... More

We've stayed on Seneca and Cayuga Lakes many times, but this was our first visit to the Driftwood B&B, but it won't be our last. It's very conveniently located to Thirsty Owl, Lucas and other wineries but its off of the main road where its quit and serene. Tammy and Jim were very accommodating from the very first call and...

Went last year for the first time and just loved walking out the back door and hopping into the layak. Jim and Tammy and great laid back hosts and atmosphere is very relaxing. Just booked our return for this August!

Celebrated our anniversary with friends and did some wine tasting. Beautiful home with a lot of history right on the lake. Could hear the waves lapping against the shore. Breakfasts were wonderful and the rooms comfortable and nicely decorated.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Driftwood Inn. Our room was very comfortable and the view from our window was breathtaking. The Jacuzzi tub was so relaxing after a day of visiting wineries. Between that and enjoying the lake from the back deck with some hard cider, it was bliss! Yummy stands for our breakfast the next morning!... More

Had a wonderful long weekend. Both Jim and Tammy were wonder hosts and the room was beautiful. Sat outside on the porch and enjoyed a beautiful sunny morning (just a little cool). In the past we stay at Bellehurst castle and the Manor house belonging to Bellehurst, but from now on, all lodgings on trips to the fingerlakeswill be here.... More
