  • Inn Details

    One of the first of the “Grand Houses” in the Ithaca, New York area, this 200-year-old federal was modeled on northern New England farmhouses. Filled with family heirlooms, the house is spacious and affords privacy to our guests, yet there are special gathering places, large and small. Our hearty farm breakfast, which is prepared to your order, begins your day. The forty acres of farmland, where we garden herbs organically, allow you to stretch your legs. A sense of history and the serenity of an earlier era surrounds this place just 10 miles north of Ithaca.

You will pass a garden center on your right (The Village Greenhouse.) County Road 143 is the next left, about one mile. You will see our sign on the right side of the road across from County Road 143. Turn left on County Road 143 and proceed one mile to the Copper Beacons. We are the fifth farmhouse on the right, a large, sprawling, white house. There is a flagpole and sign just before it. During the day, you will clearly see the copper mailbox.

    I booked the Copper Beacons B&B for 2 nights and had a wonderful stay with Gerry and Eileen. They were so gracious and the room was fantastic (highly recommend the Fitzgerald Room). The bathroom was clean and sheets/towels were replaced daily. The morning breakfast was superb and cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended and will come back multiple times!

    Nice Place to Stay

    Dogs came to greet us when we arrived. They have an Herb shop in the back which had a nice cozy fireplace. The Inn has a recreation room with TV, pool table, darts, games, etc. which we enjoyed. Breakfast was nice, and our hostess told us the history of the Inn and its furnishings. We enjoyed our stay.
