Welcome to City Lights, where visitors from all over the world have enjoyed our friendly accommodations since 2002. Located in the Finger Lakes Region of Central New York, our Bed and Breakfast features breathtaking views of Ithaca College and Cornell University, just a few miles away. Each year hundreds of guests enjoy the private and cordial atmosphere of our unique lodging. With easy access to local sights and destinations, The Inn at City Lights is a haven for visitors needing a "Home Away from Home." And...Speaking of "home"...

The Inn is our home. We greatly appreciate adhering to the Guest Check-in time from 4-6pm!

We ernestly request that visitors arrive ON-TIME. Those who must arrive any later than 6 pm, please make special arrangements at least 24-hours in advance. We ask that our guests arrive on time, checking-in with suitcases and bags, BEFORE heading out for dinner, etc. Getting to know where to park, how to enter your rooms, and getting aquainted with our house is vitally important to the comfort of ALL of our guests, and the overall enjoyment of your stay.

City Lights is a lovingly restored Greek Revival Farmhouse, circa 1863. With 7.5 acres to stroll, hike, or jog, our beautiful gardens and picnic areas provide magnificent panoramic views. There's lots of room to walk or run the dog, or just simply stretch your legs.

Happy, healthy and well-behaved children are welcome at our house. There's lot of land to run around on, a basketball hoop on-site, a large field for a game of catch or croquet, and lots of trails behind the house for an easy nature walk. There's great kid-friendly attractions nearby, including The Cayuga Nature Center, The Science Center, The Museum of the Earth, The Farm Sanctuary, and many wonderful state parks with great swimming, hiking and boating.

Our two cats, Callie ( ! off that couch!) and Christmas, will warmly welcome you in the kitchen, but they do not enter into the guest areas of the house. Those with severe allergies, please let us know, so we can make appropriate arrangements.

We welcome pets with the following stipulations:

We accept well behaved pets, preferring smaller animals, and / or ones who comfortably stay in their carrying cases, crates, and mini-kennels. Please bring your pet's crate. We charge a non-refundable pet-cleaning fee of $25.00 per pet, for a two-night stay, (longer stays require an additional fee).

We ernestly require that the animals be crated while the pets are in the rooms, and ESPECIALLY crated when the guests leave the pet unattended. If your pet is known to bark or whine during your absence, THEY MUST NOT BE LEFT unnattended, for the comfort of ALL our guests. Please carry your cell phone when leaving your pet unattended, and return promptly IF we call you to report that your pet is barking or whining.

We ask that pets STAY OFF THE FURNITURE to avoid damages and dirt.

ALL pets MUST BE up to date on vaccinations and flea control. We request that pet owners refrain from bringing the pets on our back patio OR in our kitchen area, as this can upset our cats, and possibly disturb our other guests.

Pet owners MUST take full responsibility for interactions with OTHER GUESTS' PETS.
