A unique,Cozy Inn

This inn is truly unique, featuring a classic Victorian style with carefully curated interior decor and a strong sense of homeliness. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is plentiful and nutritious, making the stay especially pleasant. The only downside is that the air conditioning is a bit noisy.

Gothic Style Inn in Elmira

We enjoyed the location and the Inn is an older building with alot of character and furnished to suite. It provides some charm with the small town feel of Elmira.

The A/C vent in our room was barely blowing any air, outside the room and in other rooms was 5 degrees colder. Our bed was so firm we didn't get much sleep, But everything else was fantastic, breakfast great, the decor of this 160 years old building very nice, full facilities. We will be rebooking next year in a different room too in joy the town of Elmia and the St Jacobs farmer Market

We were very impressed with the amenities, which were all excellent and well-maintained. The thoughtful extras like toothbrushes and lotions were a wonderful touch and truly made us feel at home.

The house was very cute. Would have liked to meet the owners and other guests. We had a nice room although the bedpost sat right in the middle of the TV which was strange.
