Inn at Taughannock Falls
We were in town for a last minute trip. The room was very nice and was spotless. The grounds are spectacular, I can only imagine what they’re like when the weather is nice. Heidi was so pleasant and made our stay very special. We can not wait for an excuse to come back and stay longer.
