Enjoyed my stay at this great motel. Stayed in one of the cottages with a full kitchen for best part of a week. Very comfortable. It's in a great location for the various state parks in the region with their many waterfalls - Robert H Treman and Buttermilk are 2 minutes drive, Taughannock 20 minutes, and central Ithaca is less than 10 minutes. Friendly and very helpful staff. Recommended.

Loved the original and period appropriate charm of the Grayhaven Motel. We were blown away by the thoughtful touches like complimentary smores kits and wood bundles and local granola for breakfast. Parking was a breeze and access to the state parks and Ithaca were immediate. Would definitely seek this place out again on future trips!

We loved our stay at Grayhaven. The room was big and comfortable and we loved the big window looking out at the birds and wildlife. We saw so many cool birds, a woodchuck, a bunny… so fun! Thank you for all the special touches.

Old school Motel...Trying to keep the original flavor of a 1950's hotel. Very nice people. Has a lot of potential but has a long way to go!

The room was clean, and I mean surgical clean. I am one of those crazy people that check a room with a flashlight, and I couldn't find a speck of dust or a water spot in the bathroom. Staff is friendly, courteous and accommodating. Great little motel. There are a couple of community fire pits, free marshmallows to make smores, a couple of hacky sack games. They also have a dog pen for the pups. There are 2 State Parks (Robert H Treman and Buttermilk), which I was visiting were a few minutes' drive away. This and the reviews were the reason I chose this hotel. If I am ever back in the area, I would diffidently choose the Grayhaven.

A Classic Motel Gem with All the Modern Amenities

Great communication from the owners—it's a hands-on small business, and their pride in making everything great is clear. The room was sizeable, clean, and comfortable. Probably the most comfortable bed I've ever experienced in a hotel/motel/rental. Plenty of desk/counter/luggage space. Coffee and light breakfast options in the morning (local yogurt, granola, oatmeal) were a nice way to start the day. I wasn't at the room during room service hours, but the prices seemed reasonable and not jacked up like the average hotel. And while i didn't get to take advantage of the fire pits, the complimentary S'mores kit was a nice touch. Be sure to take some time to check out the artwork in the lounge in the main office building, all done by local artist Stacia Humby.

Nice stay

Old motel but with nice updates. One of those updates was a memory foam mattress. It was amazingly comfortable. Contactless check in, which was nice and easy. The room was old but exceptionally clean

What a sweet property. I only wish it was spring or summer so we could have enjoyed the grounds. When you go to an owner managed property you appreciate the small details that go into making your stay special. We happened to have brought our pup on this quick trip up to Ithaca to watch our sons play lacrosse against Cornell. When we arrived to the room there was a dog sheet for the bed (smart), a towel, a water bowl and of course a treat. The room was decorated minimally with midcentury modern furniture (some looked original) and decor. I loved that they updated, but kept some of the charm. I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the owners when I grabbed a cup of coffee the morning of our departure and she could not have been lovelier. It was all around a great experience. I would highly recommend the Grayhaven if you are traveling up to Ithaca. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
