Had a wonderful stay. Our favorite part was the breakfast!!! It was a great start to the day that sustained us for quite some time. Stayed in Two West and found the accommodations quite spacious and to our liking. Loved the location and found it easily accessible to downtown, IC and Cornell. Keepers were very nice and wonderfully accepting of our dogs stay as well. Thanks!

Excellent breakfasts. We had the North Suite and really enjoyed the extra room. Hosts are really nice and enjoyed talking with them around the large breakfast table in the kitchen while they cooked. We have to come back again.

We were late making reservations for Ithaca College's graduation weekend, and Colleen could not have been more gracious and helpful in finding us a cozy corner of the Inn. Our family occupied Granny's Room and The White Room, with a shared bathroom. Though the Inn was full, we felt like we had the place to ourselves, with complete privacy in our little wing. The rooms were comfortable and welcoming; we got great nights of sleep; everything was spotless. Breakfasts were delicious and beautifully served. Evan surprised us with a map of the "secret" directions to Ithaca College via a back way that got us to graduation in a third of the time it would have taken us had we gone the main route. Staying at City Lights is like being hosted by good friends whose house we covet.

My wife and I are so fortunate to have found and met Colleen and Evan! Their stunning B&B was the perfect setting for our honeymoon and we could not have had more sensational hosts. They made the difference between our stay- what was beautiful and wonderful became phenomenal. They really went to the nth degree to ensure we had the best time of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

We had a truly memorable experience at The Inn at City Lights. We stayed in the "Petite Suite," which we found to be very cozy, well-kept, and practical for guests interested in a long weekend (as it has a kitchen and sitting area). Colleen and Evan were so welcoming and treated us to the most delicious breakfasts! We especially enjoyed the beautiful setting of the house, as well as the outstanding view of the entire city of Ithaca. There is little doubt that we will return to City Lights in the future, and absolutely recommend it to those interested in a traditional Ithaca experience!

All B&B's should be this much fun. Colleen and Evan were so accommodating and nice. The rooms were spotless and so comfortable. The fresh country air was so refreshing after staying in downtown Ithaca the night before. We have already booked out next stay when we visit our son at the college. Thanks Colleen and Evan. The breakfast was incredible and the pear coffee cake was unbelievable. See you next visit.

My wife and I recently got married and honeymooned in this wonderful bed and breakfast. One of the reasons we chose it is because they allow dogs, permitting us to bring our Dobie-black lab, who was our ring bearer. We stayed in the "petite suite" which was a cute, cozy and private area complete with a small kitchen, sitting area with a television and movies and a private bathroom. This was a perfect place for us to have some privacy. We later stayed in the "North Suite" downstairs, which had more personality but was closer to other guests. It, too, had an incredible private bath and featured a gorgeous sitting room. It really was a treasure for the eyes. Colleen made us feel very welcome with the note card and bottle of wine, and she created the most sumptuous breakfasts! We would not hesitate to stay there again and suggest that anyone looking for a place to stay give The Inn at City Lights a try.

We visited Ithaca in March of 2007 for a weekend getaway. Colleen and Evan were wonderful hosts. Amazing breakfasts, clean and spacious accommodations, great conversation, and a very comfortable stay. It is truly amazing what they've done with this wonderful property. If you plan on visiting Ithaca, look no further.
