Wrapped in the comforts, or perhaps pains, of life in your own dorm, apartment, or home, it is quite likely you never realized the multitude and diversity of bed and breakfasts around Ithaca. But, in fact, there are over 50 of these homes-away-from-home right in Ithaca’s gorgeous backyard, according to the Ithaca / Tompkins County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Not all are located within Ithaca’s city bounds, but most are not more than a 15-minute drive away.
“A bed and breakfast is usually a very lovely home … It offers you a little more ambience and a little more personal interaction with the host than a hotel … and we do a pretty good breakfast here,” said Doris Nitsio, who runs the Candlelight Inn in Dryden.
