The Inn on Columbia was fantastic. We stayed two evenings in this centrally located property in Ithaca. This was our first trip to Ithaca, Ken and Madeline were amazingly helpful. The breakfast is nothing short of phenomenal! All of the guests we met were very friendly and made for interesting morning conversations. The Inn is very comfortable, clean and you are made to feel welcome at all times.

Had a wonderful 3 days here. Madeleine and Ken, were excellent and helpful hosts, providing suggestions for walks, wineries and restaurants. The daily homemade breakfast was delicious and varied each day. We particularly loved the fresh homemade muffins and scones. Lovely touch to have access to complimentary snacks, fruit and drinks through the day as well. Great location, comfortable room and an easy walk into town.

The Inn on Columbia is a great choice for couples traveling to Ithaca. It is a lovely home and the room was very comfortable. Madeline's breakfasts were outstanding and we loved having Olive greet us in the morning! It's also a short walk down to the Commons where there's plenty of things to do. Highly recommend!
