The Inn At Gothic Eves

We are going back this July 4^th for the third time. Your hostess if very versed in customer service and does everything to make sure that your visit is exactly what you are expecting. Well worth the trip and price, no matter where you are coming from.

My husband and I stayed at this charming little B&B with my parents for our daughter’s graduation from Cornell University. We reserved 2 rooms for 5 nights, the Merlot Room (2^nd floor in the back of the house) and the Syrah Room (2^nd floor in the front). Both rooms were very luxurious and comfortable, with updated furnishings and very modern bathrooms. Each morning we received a different delicious gourmet breakfast made with farm-​fresh and organic ingredients. These included omelettes with swiss chard and feta, gourmet french toast topped with lemon-​thyme ricotta and strawberries, and fabulous crepes with maple syrup rolled strawberries. Rose was a wonderful hostess. I am only sorry that we didn’t discover this wonderful inn when our daughter started her 4 years at Cornell, then we would have been regular repeat visitors!

We always enjoy our stays. Have been there multiple times. Rose is the best host. We love the location. Walk a few blocks and your in town enjoying a nice dinner. Breakfast is always well thought out and delicious. We have recommended several friends.

We had a quiet and restful stay on a snowy weekend in February. The food and company were also first-​rate.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Very clean, the décor is wonderful. Rose just makes your stay as wonderful as possible. Loved my stay, I certainly will be back.

We enjoyed a wonderful night at the Inn at Gothic Eves, including a couples massage at the Spa, staying the night in the Seneca Suite, and a wonderful breakfast. The facilities are excellent… the room itself is lovely, and the bathroom — especially the shower — is really well done. The renovations to the house that includes the Seneca Suite, Cayuga Suite, and the spa are really quite impressive. And the breakfast was just wonderful… French toast soufflé, fresh sausage and fruit, French press coffee, served on the sun porch in the main house. We loved it! We will be back!

This was a home run all around! Melissa was awesome and a pleasure. Breakfast was great!!! The massage was unbelievable! These are remodeled and immaculate inside. The couple massage is a must. I am remodeling an old farm house and these two homes especially the basement. Great job!!! Staying here again. I usually like to explore different places but don’t think I will bother staying at any other bed and breakfast.

This is a FABULOUS b&b! My husband and I stayed here for two nights, and it was our first bed & breakfast experience. It will be hard to beat this in the future! Rose (owner) and Melissa were extremely welcoming, and made sure all of our needs were met. We stayed in the Pinot Suite, which had an amazing master bath. The grounds of the inn were well kept– there were a number of places to sit and relax. Breakfasts were delicious– everything was extremely fresh and locally sourced. I only wish we could have stayed longer– I’d highly recommend The Inn at Gothic Eves.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the inn for a friend’s wedding in the area. Our suite was comfortable and luxurious, especially the big bathroom with the walk-​in shower. It was quiet at night and we slept soundly. In the morning we enjoyed a homemade organic and local breakfast cooked by Rose herself. She was really helpful, warm and welcoming. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Id like to start off with saying that this was my first experience at a bed and breakfast, and It was very pleasant! I stayed here last weekend for three nights during a mini-​vacation to the finger lakes region. My fiancé and I were in the Pinot suite which was phenomenal and obviously recently renovated (just as the entire property has been) with a bathroom that was amazing to match. This bed and breakfast is warm, cozy and inviting yet has modern décor in the rooms/​suites that are absolutely breathtaking.
Rose prepared great organic breakfasts every morning that were delicious. She was very accommodating to my fiancés food preference and even recommended some things to do around town such as the Ithaca’s farmers market (highly recommend as well). Staying here really was a great addition to our trip, and we will very likely be back if we are ever in the region again!

My partner and I were looking for a bed and breakfast at which to have a small wedding ceremony, with guests staying on location and activities both on– and offsite. When we visited Gothic Eves and met the owner, Rose, we knew we had the perfect location. The Inn is elegant and perfectly appointed, and Rose is friendly, attentive, and professional. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and there are a number of amenities on the grounds like a hot tub, fire pit, hammocks, and picnic tables that make for a relaxing atmosphere with a variety of options available. Rose’s breakfasts are not to be missed and wherever possible use fresh, local, organic ingredients.
Rose was very helpful in coordinating the event and, as we were unfamiliar with the area, provided creative suggestions and excellent recommendations for caterers, restaurants, and anything else we needed from the region. This allowed us to have a wonderful weekend that all of our family and friends enjoyed immensely. The size and variety of the Inn’s common areas (and careful coordination by Rose and her excellent staff) made it possible for our guests to move from event to event in a unique manner.
We recommend this inn for anyone who is interested in visiting the Finger Lakes region, and particularly for anyone looking for an intimate and unique site for an event.

The buildings are beautiful inside newly renovated. I didn’t spend the night we just went for the «spa»… I’m still slightly confused. It is clearly not a spa. It is a nice home that they can arrange for you to have s massage. The therapist were excellent… Quite possibly the best treatment I’ve ever had. When we thought we were going to a spa you would think they have a Jacuzzi or a sauna. We could have got the same service at the b&b we were staying at and just jumped in the hot tub there before and after instead of having to drive 25 min each way.

We decided to do some vineyard hopping in the Finger Lakes wine trail, this was our first time exploring this region so it was all new to us. We narrowed down our choices & booked a stay at this Bed and Breakfast. This B&B has two houses, we stayed at the ‘Inn’; a small/​quaint house with only (6) guest rooms. We stayed in the ‘Chardonnay’ room on the 2^nd floor. It was spacious, had a king size bed under a cathedral ceiling. I liked the look of the wooden floors. It hat a nice gas fireplace with a chestnut mantel. It had a nice flat panel TV on the wall. Each room has it’s own bathroom, a must for us (not a communal bathroom like other B&B’s). The bathroom had a nice/​large body spa shower. The room has a big ceiling fan as well as a air conditioner (window unit). Outside of the house is a large backyard with trees, hammocks and a hot tub (heated by a wood burning stove, very cool). If you want to use the Hot Tub, make sure to reserve a time slot. They have a nice camp-​style fire pit surrounded by chairs where you can sit around the fire and have some wine. On the other side of the backyard is the ‘Potter House’, the other B&B that they offer (has a large hardscaped patio/​lounge chairs, we may consider staying at that house next time if we go with another couple). Our host (Rose) was personable, warm, helpful, hands-​on, charming and had a good sense of humor. Each morning she cooked us a delicious breakfast (most of the ingredients were organic and locally sourced). An example was the french toast soufflé with fresh-​cut banana and strawberries. If she offers, make sure to pick the fresh ‘mixed’ juice option (example = white grapes mixed with orange juice or the raspberry juice, YUM !). Rose makes a good pot of coffee as well… For dinner, we walked seven minutes down the road & ate at the Hazelnut Kitchen (very good). Everything is close by to this B&B. We ate at some of the restaurants in downtown Ithaca. We sampled wines on the Cayuga Lake wine trail. We went hiking at three state parks: Watkins Glen, Taughannok Falls and Robert H. Treman (each had beautiful waterfalls). I would also suggest visiting the Cornell Plantations; a beautiful arboretum and botanical garden. I would definitely recommend the The Inn At Gothic Eves.

I can only echo what the other poster has to say. My husband and I spent two nights at Gothic Eves and it was a great experience. Rose and Roman are completely gracious, warm, friendly and helpful. The house has a welcoming feel and our room was comfortable and and relaxing.
The breakfast each morning was creative, thoughtful and delicious. Rose provided lots of great suggestions for the area and even the other guests we met were charming and friendly.
I would have no hesitation recommending Gothic Eves and certainly look forward to another stay in the future!

Everything you wished for and more…
My wife and I spent two evenings at the Gothic Eves and we couldn’t have been more happy with it. From the moment we arrived we didn’t need to think about anything other than relaxing. Our hosts, Rose and Roman, were extremely friendly, down-​to-​earth and gracious.
We made it a point to take full advantage of all the wonderful amenities that the Eves had to offer — including the hot tub heated by a wood burning stove, a camp style fire pit (outfitted by Roman himself), and the elite spa services. If you are just looking to unwind and read a book, there are a couple of chairs and swings to relax on the grounds.
All in all, the Gothic Eves offered topnotch accommodations with some local charm. I would recommend it to anyone. We hope to return next year.
BTW… be sure to check out Hazelnut Restaurant in Trumansburg — just a short walk up the street. Great food and atmosphere.
