Private Hotel + Pure Food, Ithaca

Caspers Farm is not the standard cookiecutter bed and breakfast impersonal inn or hotel that one might typically encounter but rather the creation of its owner Michael Casper who had the concept after having lived in Haiti in the 1970s. Michaels friend French entrepreneur Olivier Coquelin opened Habitation Leclerc in Martissant Haiti where it became renowned as one of the best international resorts in the world catering particularly to the affluent jet set crowd and patrons that included members of the Kennedy family European nobility and famous rock stars such as Mick Jagger. Bringing memories of the time he spent there back to America Michael has been working on this extraordinary Ithaca NY property for the past 11 years taking the ambience of Habitation Leclerc and adding his own special twist such as museum quality treasures from his personal world adventures and travels i.e. dinosaur skeletons meteorites huge mineral specimens fossils historical and prehistorical artifacts and surrealist art. The trails roads ponds Tibetan Buddhist Temple stone circle with a North stone that weighs over 40 tons and cliffside views are mind boggling leaving visitors to wonderWhere are you Crocodile Dundee and Indiana Jones.For some visitors the peaceful and tranquil ambiance found on this 115 acre labyrinth is worth more than the rooms ... and the rooms are absolutely extraordinary each having its own individual character featuring premium bedding and daily housekeeping.
