Gothic Style Inn in Elmira

We enjoyed the location and the Inn is an older building with alot of character and furnished to suite. It provides some charm with the small town feel of Elmira.

The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.

We stayed at this property for the first time. We stayed for 2 nìghts in the Fall. My husband loves hisyory and antiques. Thus, we gave this inn a try. It is a beautiful historic property. Pictures on the wall tells the history of the house. Interior decorations also reflect its time in history. This inn is clean and quiet. The only thing I don't like is the squeaky beds in our room and the thinly covered top half of the window with lacey materials. The sunrise literally wakes you up.

A unique,Cozy Inn

This inn is truly unique, featuring a classic Victorian style with carefully curated interior decor and a strong sense of homeliness. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is plentiful and nutritious, making the stay especially pleasant. The only downside is that the air conditioning is a bit noisy.

Beautiful house with a bus stop nearby, also lots of parking space. The host is super friendly and responsive. The breakfast is great served with simple but tasty bread and cereal. Little fridge has water provided which is super nice and thoughtful. Thank you very much.
