LakeWatch Inn, Ithaca NY

If it wasn’t for Nicole and LakeWatch Inn our Holiday party wouldn’t have been the same. The food was amazing. She had the place decorated so nicely. Everything ran smoothly. Could not recommend Nicole and her venue more highly. I’m
Already planning next years event at LakeWatch.

Seems like a very nice venue, but they need a handful of training sessions for me to be able to recommend it to anyone and I’m being nice.

Clean, spacious, reception facility with 2 floors to move about in. Great for any kind of gatherings, from weddings to temporary voting hall.

I have loved going to events at Lakewatch for decades - as far back as the days when it was the North Forty! I have attended many many events there including weddings and class reunions. Nicole should be recognized for the outstanding service she always provides. Never once do you find her or her staff standing idly by. She has many time provided appetizers and sit down or buffet meals. Each time we have gathered for a reunion she provides for guest registration, information tables, bands and photographers. And she is a delightful bartender as well. It is difficult to attend to every different detail with open doors and air conditioners and fans plus staying on top of replenishing food and tableware. My hats are off to her staff for always readily responding to all our needs. Asking politely and readily acknowledging always satisfies all parties.

We recently had a class reunion at LakeWatch Inn. The service was great, food was fantastic and the setting as good as it gets. I especially liked how the bar was set up outside on a spacious deck near a large lawn with chairs. This allowed our classmates to have “quiet” conversations away from the crowd. The owner Nicole bent over backwards to accommodate special requests/needs that we had. I feel it’s the best deal in town for medium to large group events. Hats off to you Nicole for sending almost 100 classmates away very pleased.

Had our high school reunion here, a picnic style gathering. The venue was hot, no a/c, doors open so lots of flies. The look is ok but we had to ask for the fan to be turned on, had to ask for napkins (? !). Cornell chicken was good. Servers quite unfriendly, so I was underwhelmed. Sorry

We just got back from a great Ithaca High School class reunion weekend. We closed out the weekend @LakeWatch Inn with a picnic. What a great job they did hosting us. Nicole and her staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was great - as usual. The deck and the main hall provided many opportunities to have conversations with our classmates. Thanks for all you did to make our gathering most enjoyable.

This place is beautiful. The food they made, (Pulled Pork, mac salad, mac n cheese and chocolate chip cookies were EXCELLENT!
If youre have a wedding or any kind of party i definitly recommend this place!
