The Hound And Hare

Read more... Read more...
Built in 1829 by Samuel Boothroyd on a Military Tract, this land was given to my family by George Washington in 1797. Recapture the romance of a Victorian fantasy filled with antiques & laces. Quiet elegance with superb accommodations and sumptuous breakfast served by candlelight. Time seems to stand still at The Hound and Hare.

This is one of the best B & B's we have ever stayed at. We loved the decor, the gardens, the food, but most of all we loved the vivacious hostess Zetta Sprole. She couldn't have made us feel more welcome! She is generous with her knowledge of history, nutrition, ornothology, and culture. The room and ensuite has everything the traveller needs and more. The bed was so comfortable. Every where the eye travelled was filled with delight. I go back in a minute!

This beautifully appointed inn is comfortable and, in many ways, magical. Charming decor, spacious yet cozy, located on a lovely piece of land; the garden is glorious! Best of all, Zetta Sprole is a delight and she prepares exceptional breakfasts. Can't wait to return!

I stayed at the Hound and Hare for two nights of total rest and relaxation in a beautifully and tastefully decorated house. Tea and biscuits were available each afternoon next to the garden terrace, a wonderful venue for quiet reading and bird watching. The innkeeper was very friendly and accommodating and the room was very comfortable, all definitely worth the price paid. I highly recommend this inn on a quiet street not far from Cornell University.

The location is excellent, very close to Cornell. The rooms we had were immaculate and very comfortable. The innkeeper is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The environment is welcoming, the grounds are lovely and the food is excellent.
