“Charming and well cared for.”
The character and charm to the heritage building are well preserved. We enjoyed the spacious and comfortable room we stayed at. The host was proactive and enquired at regular intervals for anything that might be needed.

Extremely charming house & very decorative room(s), all with own bathroom & tiny fridge & coffeemaker, and spacious common areas. Shared kitchenette with microwave and lots of utensils. Good simple breakfast (yoghurt, fresh fruit, cereals, toast, bagels, muffin, milk juice coffee tea, .. ). Laying at a busy street, but the noise was actually OK (our room had a balcony -enjoying the sun in the morning there- facing the street)

“Lovely historic house with a comfortable stay.”
Excellent location with easy parking behind the property. Very easy self check in which was perfectly communicated by the host. Lovely historic house to stay in, quiet location even though on the main road, felt at home straight away. Excellent breakfast with multiple choices available.

Property was just as described and getting in was seamless. The house is beautiful and a cool historical landmark. Breakfast is simple but had everything we needed and a great way to begin the day. A lovely spot to stay in Elmira.

“My stay was very pleasant and relaxing”
The room was beautiful, clean and cozy with a comfortable chair, a small fridge/freezer, a small electric fireplace, and a lovely view. There were many comfortable sitting areas both on the main floor and upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cutlery, various kinds of tea and coffee and a microwave.
