This was a great place for a long weekend in the fall. Wine tasting, fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful lakes and hiking trails make this location a perfect destination. The proximity to Ithaca is an added bonus if you like to visit a college town.

We were welcomed by Roman and given the tour of this lovely B&B. The house is gorgeous, filled with lovely antiques and spotlessly maintained. We stayed in the Sewing Room in a beautiful, comfortable sleigh bed with attached bath. Lovely. At 10 p.m. we ventured into the wood-fired hot tub where we soaked our tired bones after a long day of hiking. What a great invention! Breakfast was fresh and delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Rose and Roman at the Gothic Eves B&B in Trumansburg made our stay and breakfasts delightful. It was our wedding anniversay too, so the stay at the B&B really made it special. Top notch B&B, friendly, lovely breakfast eating rooms, BEST bedroom on the top floor, with fabulous view and natural lighting. The B&B is very 1855, loved the antiques, furnishings, tastfully done. Food delish, gardens of B&B and location amazing. The town of Trumansburg is also so friendly and we recommend highly, very close to winery tours, Ithaca, and great hiking, and pottery... so much to do, did not have enough time. thank you, Michelle & Eric. We will come again!

My husband and I were returning from Niagara Falls, Canada, driving through the Finger Lakes region, when we decided to stop overnight halfway on our seven hour drive home. The Inn at Gothic Eves B & B, owners/innkeepers, Roman and Rose, were very hospitable, though not overbearing. After a busy, back to school rush, they were still willing to accomodate us (at the last minute) for the night. I must say that their guest rooms and house itself were immaculately clean...a must for me because I notice every speck of dust everywhere I stay (just because a house is full of authentic antiques doesn't mean it has to be filled with antique dust). The housekeeping staff deserves applause for their hard work. We enjoyed a mattress that was just right, great pillows and comforter set, and plush towels (robes are available for use, too). We especially liked listening to the sound of the ocean from the nature sounds selection on the radio/alarm clock. Fresh, organic ingredients made our homemade, simplistic breakfast tasty enough to long for second helpings. The house is decorated with antiques and photographs of loved family members. The architecture of the house is lovely and a work of art itself. I wish I had a chance to see the surrounding grounds, enjoy a dip in the hot tub or converse a bit more with the innkeepers. All in all, our stay at the Inn at Gothic Eves was a relaxing, enjoyable experience. One downside...it was a shame I couldn't access my internet e-mail because I received a 20% discount for last minute reservations the exact time that we were there! Oh, also, we put a pillow in front of the window for privacy (lace curtains) because we couldn't put the beautiful Roman shade all the way down because it would block the air conditioner.

My wife and I have been staying at B&Bs in our travels for over 20 years. We've developed our own rating system, and Gothic Eves falls into our highest category - the "This B&B was so enjoyable, we WILL find a reason to return to the area so we can stay there again!" And we have. Earlier this week, my wife had a function to attend at Cornell, so we stayed with Rose and Roman for the second time. It is well worth the 10 mile drive up from Ithaca. Rose and Roman have done great things with both the Main House and the Potter House, and Rose's breakfasts are not to be missed.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and decided to stay a few extra days. We stayed in the golden room and the bed was quite possibly the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The ambience is very warm and inviting as are the inn keepers, Rose and Roman. The food they prepare is scrumptious. We had fresh squeezed orange juice, organic egg omelets with a sharp cheddar filling, sauteed pears, flaky delicious french toast and the wonderful local favorite brand of coffee "Gimme Coffee" which is rich and smooth but not bitter. We also enjoyed some time in their old-fashioned wooden, fire-heated hot tub which is located in a secluded area of their yard. It was so soothing and peaceful. On the second day we received a couples massage in a specially designated room in their "Potter House. Glorious. The two masseuses were professional and gentle yet effective. Rose and Roman are very cool. They are very knowledgeable about Ithaca and the areas surrounding. They're both so pleasant and accommodating. They simply leave you to do your thing and encourage you to have a great time. The Inn is very close to everything of interest in the area. We visited Taughanock Falls, Buttermilk Falls, Ithaca College and Cornell University which has an amazing suspension bridge over a gorge. "The Commons" in downtown Ithaca are great for food and shopping. There are also plenty of necessities like drug stores, supermarkets and such close by. A few blocks away from Gothic Eves there are a few GREAT restaurants as well. The Hazelnut Kitchen is AWESOME, a little pricey, but worth it, There's also The Pourhouse which is great pub food and there's even a great little Chinese food place. We will definitely be back to stay with Rose and Roman as soon as possible! A really positive experience. felt really relaxed and at-home.

My husband and I stayed there for a few nights to visit the wineries in the area. The rooms are beautiful and have lots of personalities. Rose and Roman, the innkeepers are very welcoming and knowledgeable of the area and made us feel very comfortable. We love the home made delicious breakfast every morning! This is definitely a place we'd recommend our friends and families to stay. It is a 5 minute walk to small charming downtown Trumansburg and about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Ithaca. We will definitely stay at this place again if we were to visit in the future.

Some innkeepers are clearly a good fit for task. From the initial booking phone call to our departure Rose was the model host. Making us welcome, providing extras to insure our comfort (hot water for tea and a place to snack after our 7 hour drive before we went off to the wedding event an hour later), sharing family stories and explaining details of the "Wine Trails". Breakfast Preparation was a team event with Rose and Roman working before we arose. The aroma of coffee and breakfast was all the wake-up call we needed. As Roman continued with food prep, Rose saw to our every need at breakfast: explaining the source for the locally roasted delicious coffee and other menu items. After fourteen years, it is obvious they still love to care for travelers--what a difference it makes! Stewart & Toni--Vermont

This bed and breakfast is exactly what a relaxing and gracious weekend in the wine country should be. This Historic turn-of-the-century mansion has been restored to its original Victorian elegance. It is tastefully decorated with period furnishings, delicate accessories, and interesting collections. In the rooms with private baths, antiques, brass and carved wood beds you feel like you have stepped back in time. Rose and Roman’s recommendations for restaurants, wineries, and beautiful water falls made our visit something I return to often in my memory, a moment of beauty and grace in a hurried world. We especially enjoyed returning from a sunset washed meal to a soak under the stars with some great wine, in the wood stove hot tub. Of course the beautiful (and gigantic) bed was so comfortable with the mattress pillow and down comforter, it was a challenge just to get out of bed in the morning. But the sun filled breakfast room with interesting guests and fairytale gardens made up for leaving our comfortable room. One morning we sat on the porch to watch the village wake up in plush bathrobes provided in each room. The Adirondack chairs and with cups of delicious coffee were the perfect way to start a vacation day. The innkeepers took the extra time to share with us the beauty and grace of one of the most amazing places to visit in the US.

This is a lovely and very well-located B & B. The innkeepers are extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions for dining and activities. We had a light but elegant breakfast of crepes and lots of fruit around a big dining room table with interesting and friendly folks. On Rose's suggestion we had dinner at the PourHouse - walking distance in T'Burg. A friendly neighborhood place, with live local music, and surprisingly good food! T'Burg is a great place to stay because it is close to Ithaca, but also close the the wineries and to beautiful Taughaunnock Park. Highly recommended.
