Benn Conger Inn

Love the Ben Conger! Very nice hotel and lots of history.

It's actually two houses. Both are really cool and the remodeling work is excellent. There isn't much in Groton, but you aren't to far from things.

Beautiful property and great breakfast

I had the most amazing 5 days at the Benn Conger Inn. My room was actually at the Dempsey House, not the main Inn. I grew up in the area and came back for a visit. Shelley and Drew were both amazing and made me feel special. I will definitely stay again next time I make the trip from Charlotte NC to visit family. Also, the peach dumplings were out of this world.

The Dempsey House was so quaint and charming. We loved the room.

Shelley, Innkeeper & Drew, Gen. Mgr. greeted us with much warmth, friendly conversation & tour of the Inn, including gorgeous BRs upstairs & huge windowed breakfast rooms surrounded by views of fabulous outdoor plants & greenery! Everything was very clean & pretty, same as our upstairs room next door at Dempsey House with Queen bed, double person jacuzzi & shower, & our private patio! Shelley cooked to order brkfast included a western omelette, bacon, biscuits, red velvet muffins, bowl of fruit, oj and coffee with many flavors of liquid to add to coffee if desired. We loved our Wed-Thurs visit & meeting a nice couple from Utah that joined us for brkfast! Everything was lovely & clean & it felt like being in a very welcoming home away from home! We plan to be back again a few times in the future when visiting upstate NY relatives again! Thank you Shelley & Drew for your welcoming hospitality!

my wife and i loved the property, it was absolutely stunning, would definitely recommend to everyone

Few local dining options, but the nearby pizza place was yummy with friendly service. Large rooms and a porch which would be a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the natural setting, weather permitting.

The history and art in this house is amazing. Our suite was huge, beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. The owners were kind, knowledgeable and accommodating.

The property and accommodations were stunning and the staff was super nice and helpful!

Great service and cleanliness. Staff very welcoming and friendly makes you feel at home. I will come back again and will recommend it to my friends.

I really enjoyed the the food and service. In conclu

A lovely B&B that is meticulously maintained and artfully decorated, full of old-time charm. Drew and Shirley were so nice and warm! The freshly made breakfast tasted really good! I would recommend the place to any friend who happen to visit the area.

It is a beautiful inn that is kept clean and tidy. The hosts were wonderful as was the breakfast.

We stayed here for parent’s weekend for Cornell. We were in a suite, perfect for our girls to stay with us. Clean, beautifully decorated, fabulous breakfast, and Shelly and Drew were the perfect hosts! Thank You!

We stayed 3 nights and found the overall experience quite enjoyable. The room was very clean as were public spaces. Breakfast was adequate with a variety of offerings. We mentioned a couple of things that needed attention and staff was very receptive.

We stayed in the main building. The room was very nice, spaceous and very clean. The shower was a little small and it could use a handshower as well, but the water pressure was strong. The breakfast was delicious, diverse and plentiful. Special thanks to Shelly and her husband for making our stay very pleasant.

My husband and I booked our stay pretty last minute, and we were so glad we did! Benn Conger Inn was a lovely property with kind, inviting staff. The room was perfectly clean with a view to the quaint backyard where we could enjoy the fall foliage and even spot deer passing through. Breakfast was absolutely phenomenal-- fresh baked muffins, local coffee, made-to-order omelettes, and more! It was a quick drive to surrounding larger towns as well. Overall would absolutely recommend.

Lovely, romantic and quiet bed & breakfast. The rooms are charming, very comfortable and welcoming. The staff is top notch, friendly and extremely helpful. Shelley & Drew made our stay to celebrate my husband’s birthday into the best experience that we have ever had at a bed & breakfast. The breakfast was delicious. We will definitely return in the future, we left wishing we had booked more nights there.

We loved this stay! Shelley was an excellent host. The room was lovely with private covered porch, jetted tub and very comfy bed. The breakfast was so yummy with homemade sweets and made to order breakfast.

This is our favorite place to stay in the Finger Lakes region of NY. The innkeepers, Drew & Shelley, really do provide 5 star service. They seem to find some way to go above & beyond every time we stay there. We’ve stayed several times & have tried several of the rooms. Every room has always been cozy & comfortable & fully equipped with everything we need. Each room has its own personality. Innkeepers are also very accommodating if you need a late check-in. Breakfast is wonderful & convenient. The location is very convenient to Ithaca, restaurants, & gorgeous walking trails along the popular gorges & waterfalls. Highly recommend staying at Benn Conger inn.

The Dempsey House was so quaint and charming. We loved the room.

This was a lovely and charming property and I highly recommend it if you are in the area for business or leisure. The staff was extremely cordial and accommodating. Despite the early to mid century decor and furnishings, other accommodations such as the flat screen television, shower and tub fixtures, and strong wi-fi signal were surprisingly modern.

The only bad part of this trip that I was only able to stay for 1 night. This was an amazing experience, from check in to my made to order breakfast in the morning. Unbelievable friendly staff that make this property fantastic. Highly Recommend

Delightful stay in a peaceful little town. Looking forward to returning.

My family and I were visiting the area for college acceptance tours. We wanted to stay in a unique B&B nearby. The Benn Conger Inn is the perfect place to stay. Our room had been newly renovated and was absolutely beautiful. This was my few having my coffee overlooking the grounds. Breakfast the next morning was so delicious. Our favorite was the cinnamin french toast. I highly recommend this Inn if you want to stay close enough to Ithaca for Cornell University and Ithaca College. It was a wonderful memory and we would definitely stay there again.

It's actually two houses. Both are really cool and the remodeling work is excellent. There isn't much in Groton, but you aren't to far from things.

This place is our go-to when visiting our son at SUNY Cortland. It’s charming, comfortable, and always welcoming. The perfect spot close to campus.

Safe quiet property not too far from town

What a lovely inn! We appreciated the attentiveness of the staff from our arrival until we left. The breakfast prepared specially for each of us was delicious and served in a beautiful room with flowers on the cloth draped tables. How wonderful!
