Inn Details
Ivy-covered Landmark Old World cottage with fireplace, gardens and pool offers one charming apartment suite (described under Room Rates). Conveniently located ten minutes to everything, yet enveloping guests in peaceful seclusion, it adapts to one traveler, a couple, or small family group.
Enjoy your own entrance & bath, garden view, library, wi-fi, & pillow-top queen bed. Choose breakfast for service en suite when you wish (see suggestions below), or opt to do-it-yourself in the private kitchen.
The Marigold Gardens neighborhood was built for workers (similar to Hershey, PA) by industrialist Kate Gleason following 1890s trips to Europe. Her celebrated English/French cottages are five minutes north of Pittsford, ten to Wegman's or downtown.
Kate's community won a prestigious National Trust for Historic Preservation/ History Channel Award; has been a sold-out Landmark Society Tour; is a designated Pittsford Landmark; and is eligible for the National Register. Convenient off-street parking. Rates listed are all-inclusive (no tax). More photos on request (by email).
