Rose Inn
Ithaca, New York | Bed & BreakfastsSurrounding Area
A visit to the Rose Inn is also a visit to the Finger Lakes Region, and as such, is filled with interesting things to see and do. Ithaca is set against a backdrop of deep gorges created by Ice Age glaciers, providing hiking trails through the many state parks and wildlife refuges, as well as water sports and activities on Cayuga Lake. The diversity and culture brought to Ithaca by Cornell University and Ithaca College have created unique museums, year round theatre opportunities, distinctive restaurants and a population of wine experts...the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail features nationally renown wineries.
Accommodations
Rose Inn is the quintessential Country Inn, nestled among 10 acres of orchards and formal gardens in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Halfway between NYC and Niagara Falls, this 1850 Italianate mansion is an architectural gem, featuring a stunning circular staircase of Honduran mahogany. Enjoy service with style in one of its 23 elegant guest rooms, adorned with period furnishings, flowers, and lush fabrics. Delight your palate with extraordinary cuisine in the Carriage House Restaurant Tuesdays through Saturdays. Innkeepers Sherry and Charles Rosemann welcome you to one of New York's Mobile 4 star Country Inn.

The original interior barn siding and the hand hewn chestnut beams make an inviting environment that is available for conferences or receptions, as well as banquet style dinners.
