Look Inside

The Halsey House (c.1829) was built by Nicholl Halsey, first settler and founder of Halseyville, a small hamlet on the outskirts of Ithaca towards Trumansburg. It is listed on the National Historic Registry.

Built in the Greek Revival style, this 6,000 square foot grand manor has a living room, parlor, dining room, sunroom, full kitchen with half bath, and laundry room. These common rooms, as well as outside areas, are open to all guests. Old world craftsmanship, tall ceilings, center hall staircase, five fireplaces, traditional decor, period lighting, and wide plank floors all contribute to a feeling of days gone by. Enjoy quiet time and coffee on the shady porch or the sunny patio complete with lily pond and mini waterfall. Set off on its corner lot with ample on-site parking and mature landscaping, this old girl exudes a stately presence.

The new owners, Virginia and Matt, were very friendly and had plenty recommendations on places to check out. The rooms were in great condition! We also liked how it was a short drive to many things like the Falls, Wineries, and Ithica.

The Halsey House is a wonderful escape from the bustle of everyday life. The owners, David and David, are truly delightful hosts and ensure that your comfort and tranquility are their top priority. The home itself is gorgeously appointed and amazingly maintained, making the experience of an overnight stay quite memorable. Each room is unique and special while tastefully decorated. We have stayed at the Halsey House three times now, having stayed in two different rooms, and we have not been disappointed. All other charms aside, the breakfasts are to die for! The Davids never skimp on the most important meal of the day, so bring your appetite! The Halsey House is a must-visit if you're looking for a comforting, charming place to lodge in the Trumansburg/Ithaca area.
