What guests think

At Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa, travelers consistently praise the serene lakefront setting, beautifully restored historic houses, exceptionally friendly staff, and thoughtful touches throughout the property that create a relaxing, small-town getaway focused on comfort and attention to detail.

Rooms are widely described as comfortable and tastefully decorated, with lovely views, though a few guests found certain beds small or unsupportive and noted layout quirks. Facilities are a strong point—especially the spa and lakeside activities—though some guests were surprised that certain pools require paid spa access. Dining earns many compliments for the on site restaurant, but limited nearby choices, occasional inconsistency, and some higher breakfast prices are noted. Expect a peaceful, upscale retreat with attentive service.

Inns of Aurora is a beautiful property, we stayed in the Zabriskie House and it was gorgeous. Beautiful room, the day bed for our 9 year old was ideal. We loved that we could have smores at the fire pit right outside the house. We took advantage of the kayaks and nature hikes on the property and both were great. We did try to rent bikes but they only had adult sizes (which I get because it's not really a family resort) so my son was too small to ride. He was bummed but it didn't ruin the day. Also worth noting that the staff is wonderful, everyone was kind and helpful. I hope we can stay again soon.

The property was beautiful and quiet. Besides being in a beautiful location there were many activies available to do such as winery tours, paddle biarding, spa etc. If there were any questions or needs we simply sent a text and within a couple minutes we received an answer. Attention to detail was amazing as well! Even simple little things such as a light in the closet, info on how much caffeine was in the coffee pod, firepit lit at night with supplies for smores, best granola bar I've ever had. It was one of the best vacations I've had in a long time. If you want a quiet getaway I'd definitely recommend Inns of Aurora!

We would give it 10 stars if we could! The individual inns are spectacularly decorated, the spa is a magnificent property on its own with wonderful services and staff and the pools are amazing! The restaurants are amazing too plus the sommelier is very, very knowledgeable and Michael the bartender and server is one of a kind as is the server who will give birth to her first child in November. Lou who cooked for us at Aurora Cooks is a huge asset to the Inns of Aurora. Everything, and I mean everything, exceeded our expectations! Brava, Inns of Aurora!

Aurora is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Perfectly manicured by the groundskeepers, there is no garbage or litter to be found anywhere, no gum on the sidewalks…. an old picturesque small town, and nothing about it is rundown! Our rooms were beautifully modernized with a gorgeous bathroom and very comfortable bed. Every detail for your stay has been considered. Aurora is a special hidden gem! We had the most romantic stay, and have already recommended it to many of our friends. Well removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life, a stay at the Inns of Aurora is the perfect getaway. Immerse yourself within their perfectly curated bubble of bliss…. it is truly an unforgettable experience!

We stayed at the EB Morgan House and it was just beautiful! Every public space was tastefully furnished, and our room was spacious and cozy with a fireplace and a gorgeous bathroom with a fantastic shower. Our Innkeeper, Mary Ann, was so kind, personable and thoughtful. She did everything she could to make us comfortable and we had lovely conversations with her. The grounds were spacious, well-maintained and so relaxing. We just wished we had more than two nights to enjoy this beautiful facility. If we are ever in the Finger Lakes again, we will surely stay at the Inns of Aurora. The only negative I could state is that for our room the bathroom was three steps down from our bedroom/sitting area space. There were lights on for the steps all of the time but we had to be very careful going down the steps to use the bathroom at night.

The property is absolutely stunning, property like a presidential get-a-way on the lake. Quiet, serene, recharge your batteries there. Only problem - and it was a big one - the bed was too small for 2 average size people. It should not be rented as a 2 adults room. And the bed itself, once we were able to fit ourselves into it, was past its prime, totally lacked support. We thought we could get through our 2 nights - and we did - but we slept very, very little. It’s a strange thing really, because the hotel pays so much attention and at great expense, to so many details otherwise.

I absolutely enjoyed the spa! The Inn/resort area is well maintained and very clean. Absolutely enjoyed the complimentary homemade granola bars in the mornings and enjoyed the coffees in the marketplace. As for the restaurant inside the main inn, I forgot the name but the Easter dinner prefixed meal wasn’t great. Really enjoyed the food from a restaurant that was across the street from the main inn. I would also recommend enjoy the wineries near by and going into Ithaca for better food options as well.
