    We stopped here relatively late in the day looking for a room after a reservation fell through. It was so lovely. The owner Rose was so nice helping us book over the phone and the inn keeper Michelle was so wonderful. Our breakfast was yogurt with fruit and homemade granola with a monte Cristo sandwich with a rhubarb berry maple sauce. It was to die for. The hospitality of this place is unmatched. Definitely a hidden gem.

    We searched for a while online looking for the perfect place to stay just north of Ithaca - we found it. The rooms are clean and cozy. Well thought out room designs. There are two buildings - the main one with the breakfast area (and hot tub) and the other building where we stayed. We enjoyed it - and it was quiet. The breakfasts were made with great care. There was a touch of creativity in each dish (day 1 we had mint chia seed pudding which was also her first time making it I believe). Made with fresh ingredients. If not from the garden (truly farm to table) then locally sourced. They checked with us prior for any food allergies and our drink preference in the AMs and then didnt forget it. Great location as well to get to wineries, hiking trails, Cornell, Downtown Ithaca, etc. Highly recommend.

    We stayed from September 27-October 2. With staying 5 nights we received a complimentary massage for each of us. We absolutely loved the decor of Gothic Eves. I've always wanted to own an Inn and Rose and I have identical taste! The Bordeaux room was beautiful. We loved that it was on the first floor and we did not have to lug all our luggage up circular staircases. The breakfasts were wonderful accompanied by French Press coffee. We loved chatting with Rose on our first morning there and at check in. We really enjoyed getting to know Mary the other days. The massages were wonderful and exactly what we needed! They were suited to our needs as we consulted with the massage therapist, Raven. Every morning I sat on the porch swing for nearly 20 minutes in a wonderfully refreshing 58 degree weather! Just a couple things we wish the Inn had... a few more hooks in the room. I know the room is original and not built for a closet, but somehow more places to hang clothes and wet towels from after a shower. And maybe a refrigerator and microwave for guest use along with some bottled water. We had to leave a few leftovers at the restaurants because we did not have a way to keep the food cold and/or reheat . Other than that if ever back in the area, we would stay here!

    I'm so late writing this review because our trip was last September '19; but, hey, better late than never. I do a lot of research when choosing a place to lay my precious weary head ( and rest my feet-hee hee). When Hubby and I decided on a road trip to Niagara Falls --gotta love trips in the Tesla Model 3-I thought about doing a few days in the Finger Lakes area. This was our first trip to the Finger Lakes and I heard it was serene and naturally beautiful. So it was off to trusty Yelp ( heck yeah, I trust you guys) and Trip Advisor to compare places to stay. I was attracted to the many good reviews for The Inn at Gothic Eves. I also liked that there was a spa where we could get a much needed therapeutic massage. So, we booked the Merlot Room. Upon entering we were greeted by Rose, who was most helpful and gave us all the info we needed. She also helped us book a couples massage in the spa with therapists she felt were best for our individual needs. I forget names, but my guy ( younger, slim brother) knew his stuff and did an excellent job by the way! Anyway, Merlot Suite was a nice second floor suite. Only two on that floor. Stairs to get up where smaller and wind-y, so keep in mind if you have difficulties. It was odd that the front door opened right into the bathroom, but it's so that the back space can be for a secluded bedroom with a garden view. There was a ledge so the toilet was a little shielded from the door. Nice shower, but no tub in this room. Sunken in bedroom was pleasant and well appointed. One little complaint- floor was creeky in this room. Don't know if this can be remedied. I don't like to complain, so when Breakfast was made with eggs I wasn't going to say anything. But Hubby knows I won't eat eggs, so he asked Rose if she had anything more plain. She didn't, but was nice enough to make me a Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich without eggs. That was kind. We didn't use the hot tub ( extra fee) but would have had it been free. Next time maybe. I noticed via emails and website that when Rose opened The Inn after the NY COVID lockdown, many restrictions have been put in place. I know it seems mean, but I can tell she is very concerned about keeping "Ms. RONA" away from her place. We are about the visit the area again, but won't be there for the number of nights required this time. It's cool, because I too am staying away from Rona as much as possible, so we are going secluded this trip. But we wouldn't hesitate to return to The Inn next time. I want to try the Pinot suite.

    Truly a very last minute, same day booking crisis led us to Inn at Gothic Eves. So happy that they had vacancy on one of the worst weekends to be in Ithaca since it was visiting weekend for parents for their beloved children in Uni. Since it was a late night booking, I really expected nothing but a clean bed and bathroom lol however was literally mind. blown. Rose and Ron were the sweetest, kindest and most attentive hosts ever! Hoping for some peace, quiet, deep quality sleep and hopefully a good hearty breakfast...received all of that and beyond! Booked the Pinot suite for 2 nights. It was recently renovated and beautifully appointed with a gorgeous and so very comfortable queen bed, 2 welcoming recliner like chairs and a huge bathroom with a 2 person jacuzzi soaking tub, separate rain shower and heated floors in the bathroom y'all! Heated. Floors. Seriously.....need I say more?! Breakfast was equally fabulous. All ingredients were either from their gorgeous backyard garden or locally sourced, some just right up the block, like their delicious pot of Gimme Coffee! Rose served up her version of Eggs Benedict one day and again her version of A Monte Cristo sandwich with a warm fresh berry rhubarb compote and local maple syrup. The grounds are kept beautifully and serene. LOVED that walking into town took literally 3 minutes and that there were multiple waterfall viewing hiking trail parks close to the B&B too! Oh and there is an amazing spa with jacuzzi hot tubs outside and a sauna room as well! Cannot wait to go back and stay again!!

    I don't know where to begin!! This GEM of a place made our trip so special. I can't recommend staying here enough. Rose is the sweetest and took time to tell us the must sees and dos of the area. This b&b is so clean and we felt 100% safe during our stay given the circumstances. Our room was so cozy and comfortable! The breakfast is phenomenal and truly elevated the experience. There were so many hospitable touches like fresh baked cookies as a late night snack and the cutest coffee tray in the morning. I will be telling everyone about this place and we can't wait to come back! If you are contemplating staying here I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

The ambiance is refined and overlooking Cayuga Lake and the state park. Parking is spread out but adequate. We had come up by boat from Ithaca the night before to watch the wonderful free fireworks display they host for the 4th of July. There was a large elegant wedding going on, on the property while we were there with live music. The entrees were presented and plated elegantly and very good. My youngest daughter (35) said it was the best steak she had ever had. The appetizers were fair. The desserts failed on every count. The alcoholic cocktails were uninspired. Our server tried, but, may have been overwhelmed and unable to give us top tier attention. She failed to tell us of the evening specials. This was a big deal as they were operating on an abbreviated menu of only 6 entrees. She neglected to offer us the fresh ground black pepper. She didn't collect staff to come sing happy birthday (she did join in with the family herself). The funniest comment of the evening when we were each deciding what to have from the 6 entrees we were aware of, was when she said one of them was "in their top five most popular."

The grounds are well manicured. The bed was comfortable and the pillows are plentiful. The location cannot be beat. We had dinner and drinks at the Blue Pointe Grille the night we arrived.

We had a high top in the bar right near a window for a nice view of the lake. Highly recommend.

    It's rare that I'm dazzled by a hotel or feel that it's worth the money (they're all stupid…read moreexpensive these days), but Harbor Hotel was a wonderful experience I'd recommend to anyone. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive. But for once I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth! Everything everywhere was meticulously clean and well-kept. Our room was spacious and bright, with a private balcony and chairs, a couch and coffee table, and a full table that allowed us to take comfortable advantage of the room service breakfast. Potpourri sachets in the closet, free water bottles in the lobby, free coffee stations on each floor, and chocolates every night on the pillows--details, people! We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, and of course the gorgeous patio and firepits overlooking the lake which was 80% of the reason we booked here. All of the staff we encountered, from the front desk to the housekeepers, were very friendly. I did think it was a little strange that the fitness center was in a whole different building and you have to walk across the parking lot to get to it, but hey--you get your steps in. The hotel is also very centrally located. On the water, of course, but next door to Seneca Harbor Station from which you can book lake cruises. It's also less than a mile from the entrance to Watkins Glen State Park and hiking trails and only a 5-10 minute walk from most restaurants. We did most things on foot. When you do get back in the car, there are multiple wineries within a 15-minute drive. The only problem the whole visit was the hotel internet, which was terrible every day. You could make do in the daytime, but at night, when everyone was back in their rooms after the day out exploring, it was slow to the point of unusable, and I ended up turning on my data hotspot to even be able to check my email. I would not suggest bringing time-sensitive work with you, and you should not expect to be able to stream videos on your devices. Just disconnect, you'll be less frustrated. There is an onsite restaurant and bar, and while it's nothing mind-blowing, it is a nice option to have (and is one of the few "higher end" type places in Watkins Glen). Menu includes a few of the standard local wines, which was nice!

I am really glad they did. We stayed in a two bedroom unit with my parents. There was plenty of room for all of us. There were plenty of blankets and towels, and the full-sized kitchen gave the place a nice home-like feel. There were even chilled glasses in the freezer for our drinks! The view from the patio is amazing. We enjoyed some time just sitting outside watching boats sail around the lake. For the July 4th fireworks, we sat on the deck (which is exclusive for guests) right on the water. We could not have asked for a better view. As much as we liked the atmosphere of the room, we liked the owners even better. We interacted mostly with Olga, who was so sweet and accommodating. Anything we needed was provided. She treated us to a fresh watermelon, and even allowed my wife (who is a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan) to take a Bills glass that was in the freezer home. I cannot say enough good things about Admiral Peabody's. It is definitely a place at which I would stay over and over again.

We needed to find last-minute accommodations that would allow our dog and also didn't cost $500 a night after our van broke down unexpectedly. Admiral Peabody's was an affordable, clean and dog friendly hotel in Watkins Glen that we totally lucked into because it didn't even come up on our searches! This place totally exceeded our expectations. Admiral Peabody's doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels like your own lakeside cottage. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. We were able to sneak a look at the one bedroom bungalow cottages which were also adorable! Our suite was roomy, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It was also really nice sitting on the deck right outside of our room. PLUS, Admiral Peabody's has a private dock right on the lake with tables, chairs and a blue tooth music system. I'm not sure how old this yelp listing is but the owner now is Luke. HE IS THE BEST. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Watkins Glen, don't pass up this hidden gem.

    Where do I start???…read more This place is an absolute GEM if you are staying in the Trumansburg area. We chose to stay here for our elopement at Toughannock Falls (5 minutes away) and it was perfect in every way. We stayed in the Junior Suite which had 2 bedrooms, creating the perfect getting ready space. The bedding is luxurious and so comfortable. The room had a fireplace and the bathroom had a standing shower and a tub. I regret that I didnt take pictures of the room, only videos, but if you look on their website, they have detailed pictures of every toom available! Guests have access to the entire downstairs, which includes a living room, a dining room, a tea room with many tables, a microwave, and a tea station, and a study type room that has an honor bar and a record player. The outside grounds are absolutely stunning, with flowers everywhere. The fountain out front was the perfect location for a first look! We had a traveling hair/makeup artist and our photographer come to the location and staff were fine with this and at times, we had the whole place to ourselves. I later learned that the space hosts micro weddings up to 23 people (I think this is how many people can be hosted on the property). This hotel is self service. When you enter, there is a key to your room waiting and some info booklets. There is a number to call an on-site staff but there is not a staff in the main house all the time. It was very very quiet and comfortable. I could hear that there were other guests in the hotel at times but I couldnt make out voices or conversations which was nice. Literally the only inconvenience we ran into was when our takeout order didnt come with utensils or napkins. We couldn't find any on site which surprised me based on the other things that were provided, like ice machines, glasses, tea stations, alcohol, etc. Just a small thing to remember if you stay here! The cutest little breakfast and dinner spots are nearby as well. It really is the perfect little Ithaca retreat and so close to so many waterfalls ans activities. I cant wait to go back!
