Halsey House Bed & Breakfast

Spent a night for a little staycation and loved this place! The house has a rich history and is beautifully decorated. The owners are wonderful, very attentive hosts, and great conversationalists. There is plenty to do for a quiet night or two, and is located close to Trumansburg and Taughannock Falls.
Great B&B and will be back.

As our second stop on our honeymoon, Halsey House was in the perfect location for visiting our alma mater Ithaca College, hiking the gorges, horseback riding, and of course fine dining. Mitch, the innkeeper, greeted us at the car and assisted us in taking our luggage up to the room following a brief tour of the inn. We found the room to be impeccably clean and extremely cozy. There was filtered water available any time and snacks were put out each evening. KC’s breakfasts could have an entire review of their own. While I won’t delve into great detail, suffice it to say that they were out of this world delicious and worthy of any gourmet restaurant.
As neither of us had ever been to a b&b before, we were a bit nervous about what it would be like. Our minds were immediately put at ease with the warmth of the company both in the innkeepers and the other guests. We miss Mitch and KC already (as well as their adorable birds). We will be back here for sure the next time we are in the area!

Perfection!
KC and Mitch are attentive without ever being overbearing and their property is STUNNING. Everything is luxurious, clean, classy, yet somehow approachable and homey at the same time. How do they do it?!
And KC’s pecan breakfast muffins? Don’t. Even. Get me started. On those buttery little bites of heaven.
Eff. I’m hungry now.

Our stay at the Halsey House was absolutely perfect.
In search for the perfect anniversary getaway, we tripped over this B&B after we found our beloved Belhurst Castle was booked up. Our expectations were high and were somehow exceeded.
The location was great as it’s just a few minutes outside of Ithaca. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Mitch. He was a lot of fun and was happy to answer all of our questions about the area.
We stayed in the Elegance room. At first we were disappointed to hear there was no jacuzzi. But after seeing (and experiencing) the multi head shower we were no longer thinking about a jacuzzi. It was amazing! The gas fireplace was a treat too– the perfect lounge spot after that wonderful shower. The bed was perfectly comfortable and the sound that the ipod dock was actually really good! I say this because I have never heard quality like that from an alarm clock radio!
Breakfast was amazing — I think it was called cinnamon raison french toast souflette. I just call it delicious. It was served following a fresh fruit dish in the most amazing dining room.
The only down side of visiting the Halsey House is check out time. I mean, it was completely smooth, but after you check out, you must leave and return to reality.
An amazing stay at an amazing house with an amazing host and hostess.
Thank you!

From the moment we walked into the door, we were under the spell of this amazing establishment. Located just in between the bustle of Ithaca and the heart of wine country, Halsey House was the perfect place to stay for our mini vacation. The owners, KC and Mitch have spent some serious time and energy making this 19^th century house perfect for visitors looking for a getaway. The perfect mix of luxury and laid back, Halsey House and its lovely owners are attentive to every detail and made our stay fantastic.
We stayed in the most newly renovated room «Elegance» and boy did it live up to its name. Equipped with a gas fireplace and lovely furnishings, this room sets a romantic tone that was hard to beat. The queen sized bed was incredibly plush and made for a very comfortable night sleep. Each room has its own bathroom and ours was equipped with a beautiful archway shower that had multiple spraying heads. Luxurious, we felt spoiled and so relaxed. Breakfast was amazing each day (stuffed French toast and a baked apple on our last morning YUM!) and served in their beautiful dining room that made us feel like royalty. After breakfast we were given the opportunity to explore the beautiful aviary, and meet the owners «kids», a feisty bunch of parrots who were very friendly, noisy, and fun. I got to hold my first parrot! For the traveler who is concerned about this, you cannot hear the parrots from any of the rooms and my partner was surprised to hear that they had parrots at all.
If you want to enjoy the Cayuga and Seneca wine country and are looking for a relaxing and elegant place to stay, Halsey House is for you!
