The Turret House B&B

We have stayed at Turret House on several occasions and have enjoyed it very much.

We enjoyed our stay at The Turret House during a recent visit to Ithaca. The house in a quiet neighborhood is beautiful and the rooms well appointed. The bed in the Rose Retreat room was a bit on the small side for us two, though. Would recommend to book one of the other rooms when travelling as a couple used to king size beds. Very much enjoyed chatting with the host, Nancy.

Very convenient to both SUNY Cortland and Ithaca. Nancy is a gracious host and made a wonderful breakfast for us. We felt very at home and plan on being back!

Everything was excellent. I've been to several B&B's, and this one ranks in the top tier. The proprietor was attentive and laid back (perfect), and everything was lovely and clean.

The Turret House in Dryden is a lovely Victorian that has been nicely restored. It is very close to Route 13 which leads right into Ithaca in about 15 minutes. The innkeeper (Nancy) is very friendly and personally prepares breakfasts. We stayed in the Golden Suite and found it very comfortable. We would stay there again.

The Turret House is a great option for lodging while in the Ithaca area. The Innkeeper, Nancy, is very warm and friendly, but she doesn't "go overboard." One of the reasons we are usually reluctant to stay in a B & B is because we feel overwhelmed by the Innkeeper. Nancy did not fit this opinion. She greeted us, showed us where our room was, and then left us on our own. Breakfast was very good - tomato and cheese frittata and an assortment of scones and muffins were the main offerings. Our room was the largest one in the Inn. It was very comfortable. There is a queen bed in the main bedroom and there is another full room with a daybed that also has a trundle bed underneath. It's great for a 4 person family. Our only "negative" was that the air conditioner in the daybed room wasn't functioning properly, so it was hot in that room. We reported this to Nancy in the morning and she immediately called for service. We had a fantastic stay at Turret House and will definitely consider this option again while in the Ithaca area!

We didn't have time to stay for breakfast since we had to be out early, but it looked fantastic. Lovely house and charming owner.

The accommodations were very clean and the caretaker was delightful to talk to. We enjoyed our overnight stay and found everything to our liking, except for lack of an adjoining bathroom to our room. ( a minor inconvenience)

I loved our stay here. There is a beautiful porch you can relax on in a quiet neighborhood, clean, nicely decorated rooms, comfortable beds, airconditioning, nice bathrooms, delicious homemade breakfast, french press coffee and you can eat together with the other guests and the owner. Very laid back, no weird rules and short drive to Ithaca and hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, etc. Charming town surrounded by farmland. Would definitely stay here again. Owner was charming, informed about the hikes in the area and warm. One slightly negaitve thing is breakfast is at 8:30am on the dot so if you are a late sleeper plan on getting breakfast elsewhere.

Our, my wife and I, 3 night stay at The Turret House B & B was enjoyable and comfortable. Nancy Werany, the innkeeper, exceeded our expectations. She is the perfect host, always looking out for the comfort of her guests. The rooms are quaint and immaculate, a big PLUS for us. Nancy was up early every day preparing a delicious and filling breakfast, with fresh brewed coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruit and one of her special egg dishes or pancakes. Nancy's guests do not go away hungry! Nancy Werany is the most interesting, friendly and accommodating person we have met. We will definitely return to enjoy another stay at Nancy's Turret B & B. Overall, we rate our stay as OUTSTANDING!

A great find. Stumbled upon this B&B after having difficulty finding lodging for our son's college graduation. The house and rooms are beautiful and Nancy is wonderful host who brews a delicious cup of morning coffee. You can't go wrong.

Great place. Clean, quiet, and quite reasonable. Nancy, the proprietor could not have been nicer or more helpful. We now have a great place to go when we are up in the Finger Lakes region. I recommend it highly. Jimmy Dresch New Providence, NJ

My girlfriend and I recently stayed here and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It was very clean and tidy. Nancy was a very amiable innkeeper and a great cook. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to stay in the Dryden or Ithaca area.

We were taking a last minute trip to visit a child at college and as we have discovered, finding a place to stay near Ithaca is a challenge. I found this on a website and took a chance. We don't usually stay in B&Bs but the description sounded good, the location was excellent and the price seemed reasonable. The Turret House is lovely and Nancy, the innkeeper is a delight. Breakfasts were wonderful and she was solicitous of dietary preferences/restrictions. I imagine we'll be back over the next few years, until our child graduates!

I stayed at the Turret House in October of 2011. It's a short drive from Ithaca where the hotels are very expensive. The Turret House was priced competitively and was significantly nicer than anything remotely close to the price in Ithaca. The innkeeper was very friendly and served an excellent breakfast. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our stay at the turret house. The house is beautiful - an old house with character with modern amenities. The bathroom was beautiful! Very quiet location, great conversation around the breakfast table. Highly reccomended!

Turret house was recommneded by local contacts and they were right to do so. Beautiful, spotless and very well appointed home away from home. Hostess was gracious, interesting and accomodating .I was able to use the dining room ( WIFI) to work on computer and have a light snack instead of going out so I could get ready for the next day.Breakfast was great.I would recoomend the Turret House to anyone looking for serenity, charm and value. I'm going back.

From the moment you drive up to the Turret House you immeadiately realize you picked the perfect place! Not only is the house beautiful on the outside, its gorgeous on the inside. Nancy is not only friendly and gracious, she is a FANTASTIC cook! Your breakfast will be beautiful and tasty, and she caters to whatever you like. Not only would I stay here again and again...I recommend anyone traveling to Ithaca or anywhere near Dryden to stay here, its peaceful and relaxing and by far the best weekend I have had in a long time! Thank you Nancy!!!!

Thanks so much for the very nice review of your stay at The Turret House. Thank you also for your assistance with the air conditioners. Hope to see you again when you come to the Finger Lakes. How was your hike at TFalls on Sunday?
