Very clean and beautiful facility. Perfect location! I believe the website said pastries and coffee. Great selection of teas, Kerig but no coffee pods. Coffee pot with fresh beans for grinding but no pastries. No big deal.

They have truly thought of everything at the Yellow Barn Estate. Heaven is in the details. Spacious room; soft towels; plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion; kitchen in which everything you might need is available; heartwarming shared spaces. This will be my top choice going forward for stays in the Ithaca area.
