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

Great outdoor spaces and a beautiful walking trail. The staff was very friendly, gracious and helpful! Great selection of drinks and snacks are available. Nice outdoor spaces to enjoy. We wished we were staying longer!

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.

Great Value and Unique Experience
Great location. Excellent choice if you’re looking to stay somewhere with charm that chains can’t offer. Motel is a throwback to the days of yore. Very cool vibe. Excellent outdoor amenities including fire pits, bocci ball, corn hole, and playground. Breathtaking views and a great place to relax.

Room was very clean and spacious. Liked the packet that was provided to make fire in the fire pit. Grandchild is a student at Ithaca College so this will be our “go to place” when we visit

The owners and staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. The accommodations were clean and comfy, and the birdwatching was wonderful.

Clean comfortable beds. I liked the outdoor fire pit, and our dog appreciated the walking path I would stay here again

Five stars, no notes
We had a quiet, clean, thoughtfully-put-together room near a very pleasant outdoor sitting area. We slept very well and will be back again.

My stay at the hotel was really cozy, it was more than I expected. The room offers everything you need, the decoration is very nice. You have quick access to Ithaca and at the same time to many natural places. Also the hospitality of the owners was very friendly.

This was my first time staying here and we will definitely try stay here again as we visit Ithaca. The place held on to its roots, but the owners have updated the rooms and they are very comfortable and clean. I loved the little touches that were sprinkled all throughout the stay...the birdfeeders, the smores kits, fire pit starter kit, the morning on the go breakfast offering....

Nice old school room, restaurants are very close and there are waterfalls around. Take your blanket with you!

We chose the Grayhaven Motel because of its close proximity to our planned hike. The owners have done a fantastic job renovating the hotel while maintaining the general look of a roadside motel. The shower head was one of the best I’ve used, and the bird feeder outside our window was a nice addition. I wish we could have made use of the fire pit on the property and the s’more kit provided (unfortunately it was raining). Breakfast was simple but delicious- local yogurt and a hearty granola fueled us for the hike. Overall a great experience.

Hiking w/my bestie 😊
No question … great stay. Room was very clean, comfortable and we loved the retro style. The grounds are well cared for … they have fire pits, trails and great little spots to find some quiet. The owners are friendly, accommodating and clearly invested in their property and your stay. We’ll be back!

What a wonderful place! This is not your parent's motel. The owners have carefully renovated with a fresh, comfortable and hip vibe. We enjoyed the short hikes and bird watching. We travel to Ithaca several times a year and this is our new place to stay.

Mid-Century for this Millenium
The whole place felt frozen in time, clean, and definitely on a ‘50s kick. The bed was firm and comfortable, parking easy, grab and go breakfast options convenient (coffee, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt). The jazz playing in the main lounge areas was also cementing the vibe. Of note, the floors do creak and carry vibrations from neighbors, though expectations of this were set up front. I had a cooler in my room, no microwave nor fridge, yet I was prepared as I knew in advance. You could order something to be delivered to door if you needed. Highly recommend this place.

The room was charming and comfortable. The bed and linens were extra nice. Beautiful grounds with flowers and a hammock!! We played Elvis records on the turntable and tried to light a fire in the pit so we could enjoy the provided s’mores making kit. I would so stay here again. Delicious granola, yogurt and juice and incredible main house.

The location was central to multiple state parks. The breakfast options were minimal. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They are doing a great job updating all the rooms. The motel is on a busy street so if traffic noise bothers you i would not recommend. All in all it was a nice place.

This Retro-modern Motel is the gem of Ithaca! This will be the only place we stay on trips back home. Super clean, dog friendly, spacious rooms, great decor, environmental conscious which is a breath of fresh air, and an awesome set up for s’mores at the fire pit just waiting for you in the room. Great customer service. Only thing I wish I had was a small coffee pot in room, even though they have it in office. Thank you Gray Haven from NC!!!!!
Kimberly, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked that it was an old-fashioned motel property but was modernized. The hosts were a very nice young couple who are doing a great job renovating the property. They had a nice little common room in the office. The only drawback was that we had slightly noisy neighbors and the rooms are not soundproof.
