Ithaca is 'centrally isolated' - within five hours drive of much of the northeast's population, a welcoming blend of cultural sophistication and bucolic rural surroundings. Cornell University and Ithaca College help support a healthy economy, a vibrant restaurant scene and an active arts and intellectual environment. The natural beauty of the area nurtures the soul, while winter sports, hiking, and water sports provide plenty of opportunities for engaging the body.

With our focus on sustainability, the Stone Quarry House has photovoltaic panels and purchases additional renewable energy to meet our electrical needs, including powering an electric car. We pay our staff a living wage, use non-toxic cleaning products, air-dry the sheets, provide fans as well as air-conditioning - every decision is made with a consideration of both the ethical consequences and reducing our carbon footprint while providing a relaxing and luxuriously comfortable environment for our guests.
