The Federal House

The Federal House

Circa 1815. As its name suggests, this historic home was built in the Federal style of architecture. It features spacious antique-filled rooms, original woodwork and hand-carved fireplaces that are reportedly made by Brigham Young, an apprentice carpenter at the time. Nearby Salmon Creek is considered one of the best fishing spots in the Ithaca area. Sit on the porch or in the garden gazebo and listen to the soothing sounds of the creek and falls. Stay in the air-conditioned Lincoln Suite boasting a four-poster canopy bed, sitting area with a gas fireplace and a private staircase. Enjoy a lavish daily breakfast in the formal dining room and afternoon refreshments. Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Cayuga Lake is just two miles away.
