    Power was off from large storm . Whole town was out. Nothing the Inn could do about that.. not a complaint. We just didn’t get to fully enjoy the fire pits and balcony due to the weather. That is a positive amenity others will enjoy.

    Shelley was awesome. Friendly, helpful and the breakfast was amazing .

    Property was quiet

    The Main house was gorgeous and it where we had breakfast which was perfect. Our room was in the Dempsey house and although the main floor/parlor was simple our room upstairs was wonderful, complete with a balcony. Weather was dreary, wet and cold so we didn’t take advantage of balcony. Shelly, the Inn keeper was wonderful and explained everything to us and made our breakfast. The place was immaculate. We know we will choose the BennConger Inn on our next trip upstate again.

    The only unconvinced thing that happened to us was power outages because of a storm. So most of the night we didn’t had electricity and it was very hot, the windows can’t be open so we suffered from the heat. But otherwise everything was very very good.

    Very special antique house with all kind of antique features: the furniture, art, dining plats and silverware…. The house kippers were very very nice, welcoming, taking care of us, very very tasty and rich breakfast. Nice big green yard and gardens.

    We enjoyed a lovely one night stay at this beautifully restored historic inn. Our suite was large, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Shelly was a delight to talk to, and provided very personalized service. The cook to order breakfast was very good, especially Shelly’s homemade cinnamon rolls. It was very interesting to learn the history of the family connection to the inn, and what a family project it is. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Benn Conger Inn, and hope to return on a future trip!

    Nothing.

    The inn was set back off the road with a lovely well tended lawn and it looked so majestic and inviting. Our room, the Terrance Graves was in the Dempsey House next door. We were on the second floor, although a wee bit small, met all our needs and the balcony was a bonus. Our antique brass bed that had a step stool and was oh so comfortable. Breakfast was prepared by Shelley and all the pastries and scones were baked by her. We had a veggie omelettes which were the best we had ever eaten. You have a choice of three dining areas with a view of nature from the main house. Shelley, who also serves as the Innkeeper made our stay comfortable and delightful! Thank you🌷

    My only comment would be that we used the bathtub and lots of brown stuff (dirt/dust) came out of the jets and we didn't notice it until after the bath (due to the bubbles) so that was kind of gross...I guess because they aren't used much?

    Our host was amazing - the food was delicious!

    That I couldn't stay longer!

    We enjoyed our mother, daughter, and granddaughter's weekend so much! Our stay at the Ben Conger Inn, was the icing on the cake for a relaxing weekend of shopping. The GM, Drew, emailed prior to, and reached out by phone out on our check in date to see if we had any request or what they could do to make our stay better. That was above and beyond anything I expected. Mrs. Shelley, the Inn keeper was such a pleasant host. She made sure we had all the information we needed for a perfect stay. The morning breakfast was spot on. You start with a lovely presentation of Continental breakfast only to be served a made to order.hot breakfast. Again, above and beyond. I highly recommend this lovely Inn!

    Everything!! Shelly and Drew were wonderful host. The inn is beautiful and the breakfast is amazing! Shelly really made us feel at home. Every morning she had the breakfast sun room filled with delicious coffee, juices, teas and hot chocolate. She had wonderful bread, muffins, fresh fruit and more. Then she prepared a cooked meal of our choice. We had pancakes, French toast and omelettes. Our room was perfect. Drew upgraded us to a larger room. It was lovely overlooking the back lawn. It had a beautiful gas fireplace and Shelly had coffee and tea available as well.

    Historic and beautiful option outside Ithaca. Would definitely stay here again given the surroundings but specially the charm of the room and the house itself. That breakfast (OMG the homemade pumpkin pancakes) with those garden views remain as one of the highlights of our trip. In additon, we booked last minute and they were super helpful and arrival was easy and smooth.
