About Us
Perched on Cayuga Lake’s western edge in Ovid’s Sheldrake area, the Driftwood Inn Bed & Breakfast and Family Cottages is a true Finger Lakes gem. Whether you prefer the comfort of the main house with its six charming guest rooms, each with a private bath, or the privacy of one of the four family cottages, your stay promises both comfort and peace.
Step outside to your very own 260 feet of shoreline: swim, fish, or launch directly from the substantial 100-foot dock. Guests have access to two kayaks, a tandem kayak, paddle boat, and rowboat, all complimentary, making it easy to glide across Cayuga Lake’s tranquil waters.
Mornings begin with a gourmet breakfast in a warm, informal atmosphere before you embark on adventures nearby. Driftwood is ideally located just 15 miles north of Ithaca, offering access to Cornell University events like commencement, as well as attractions like Taughannock Falls State Park, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, and the Waterloo Premium Outlets.
As the day winds down, relax on the wrap-around porch, sip local wine, and savor a stunning Cayuga Lake sunset. Located within walking distance of Sheldrake Point Vineyard and a short drive from many renowned wineries along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, Driftwood Inn is perfect for wine lovers seeking lakeside comfort and exceptional Finger Lakes experiences.
