Had a wonderful 3 days here. Madeleine and Ken, were excellent and helpful hosts, providing suggestions for walks, wineries and restaurants. The daily homemade breakfast was delicious and varied each day. We particularly loved the fresh homemade muffins and scones. Lovely touch to have access to complimentary snacks, fruit and drinks through the day as well. Great location, comfortable room and an easy walk into town.

Cabin was great, so clean and really well equipped, we asked for a couple of extra items. These turned up almost immediately with some extras that we hadn’t thought about. Fantastic location, mega peaceful and the lake was amazing!

This B and B is the most welcoming we have stayed at. The house which is a Victorian gem was clean and beautifully presented by Ashley and Dave the owners who were on hand to give help and recommendations for the nearby wineries, breweries, restaurants and other tourist attractions. The star at Burdett House is Hudson the dog who has been named in many reviews and rightly so. Our room had no closets but that had been made clear in the description prior to booking and otherwise was exceptional...

Beautiful setting and a great view from our room, looking out to Lake Seneca. Staff were lovely and really helpful and after visiting other wine vineyards, we actually thought ours was the best and we purchased a few bottles!

We had a lovely relaxing stay in a lodge. Room was clean, plenty big enough for the 3 of us. We enjoyed the fire pit of an evening and it was a really chilled environment. The view is beautiful.
Only a 5 minute drive to Watkins glen and we never struggled to park for free on the street.

Enjoyed my stay at this great motel. Stayed in one of the cottages with a full kitchen for best part of a week. Very comfortable. It's in a great location for the various state parks in the region with their many waterfalls - Robert H Treman and Buttermilk are 2 minutes drive, Taughannock 20 minutes, and central Ithaca is less than 10 minutes. Friendly and very helpful staff. Recommended.
