Lodging at the Gaffer Inn

Nice, small inn in the heart of a charming town.

We had a HUGE room with fireplace overlooking Main Street. Surprisingly quiet considering the location, which puts you right in the middle of the action. Plenty to do (and eat 😊) within walking distance.

This room (#4) was so cute and nostalgic. I love the journal and the entries from previous guests. We were in town for my son's Cornell graduation and it was also glass fest weekend. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We spent 3 nights in the Majestic Suite. It was perfect! The separation between the bedroom area and the living room was great if one of us preferred to sleep longer in the morning. The location is excellent, just walk down the stairs and explore Market Street. We really liked how private it was, it’s a boutique hotel with just a few rooms. The bed was so comfortable as was the living room furniture. There’s also a table to dine on if you choose to order takeout from the restaurants nearby and a beautiful desk and chair if you need to catch up on work. The WiFi was great. I would love to come back again, Corning is such a cool town and the area is beautiful. We spent an entire day at the Corning Museum of Glass, and made our own glass paperweight. Also went to the Rockwell Museum which is just steps away from the hotel and spent a day hiking Watkins Glen which was spectacular.
