An innovative and unique experience to stay in an old school roadside motel where the charm of the retro and historical nature still exists with a modern touch. I love the idea of revitalizing a local property and name that has been around for decades. The owners and employees take pride in this and it shows in their food and drink offerings which come from local producers, and their room decor choices which are listed in their in-room information guide. Everywhere I turned there was something to discover, even bird guides to identify the birds in the feeders hung right outside the room window. There’s lots to do on the property for everyone (bocce, campfires, barbecues, playground, dog run) and tons around the property. Easy access to beautiful state parks (four within a 5-30 minute drive), restaurants (5-10 minutes to central Ithaca), and more. Highly recommended and would definitely return. Wish there were more places like this!
