IDLWILDE INN

About Us

The Idlwilde Inn is a charming Watkins Glen bed and breakfast, located in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region. For over a century, it has been welcoming families and visitors seeking a peaceful getaway. Positioned near the southern tip of Seneca Lake, the Inn provides convenient access to the popular Seneca Lake Wine Trail.

Housed in a stately Victorian mansion set on two and a half acres, the bed and breakfast boasts beautiful grounds with a grand lawn, formal gardens, and sweeping views of the lake. Inside, you’ll find stunning craftsmanship from a bygone era, including detailed moldings, high ceilings, and eight original fireplaces.

Guests can unwind in various sunrooms, a turret room, or relax on the wrap-around porch or in the gazebo. The property also features a carriage house with two bedrooms. Each of the 15 guest rooms in the mansion and carriage house is tastefully decorated with Victorian antiques, ensuring a unique stay.
