We had five family members staying at the Gables for a college graduation. The home is as charming as it looks, and we had a wonderful time here just a few blocks from Cayuga Lake. Karl and Pat went above and beyond to help make our stay comfortable and memorable, from the baked blueberry and lemon loaves, to helping us find a way to charge our EV each night. For those with mobility issues, it's good to know that one set of stairs in the house is steep and the risers quite narrow, and there is currently no first floor bedroom. This is because the house is still a tribute to its rich history, much of which you can learn from the photos and maps gracing the walls, as well as the excellent summary books of the area in the front parlor. Being able to walk down and take a dip in the lake was a welcome bonus, and the entire neighborhood is a delight to explore. In short, we had an outstanding visit at the Gables, and will certainly check in with Pat and Karl when we're next near Ithaca.
