“This workshop was the perfect antidote to excess technology usage. The natural world, right outside our doorstep, offers so much in terms of healing and experiencing a deeper connection with ourselves and the natural world. I highly recommend Caitlin's Forest Therapy sessions.” - Forest Therapy...

We rent out one room only or both rooms to the same party so that there is no social distancing issue with using the shared bathroom and kitchen/living room. Our B&B has a separate entrance, so you will not be going through anyone else’s living quarters.
We leave 2 days between guest visits to thoroughly clean and disinfect, and to let any possible COVID presence die off.
We provide masks, gloves, and disinfectant liquid and wipes for your safety and convenience
Guests can use both swimming ponds, but must enter away from their main beaches, for social distancing reasons (We can indicate in more detail)
We will follow any other relevant guidelines from the CDC, our local health department, New York State, and our village-wide COV task force. Note that we are part of a cooperative community, Ecovillage at Ithaca, that is following health guidelines very strictly.

Spring Chorus in Full Force!

One of the first species to begin calling in the spring, the peepers are out all night in full force now, with their loud, high-pitched, jingle bell-like chorus of mating calls. Small and slender, roughly one inch in length, they breed in our 3 ponds and in our wetland areas. They have spent the winter burrowed under soil – a natural antifreeze in their blood keeps them thawed. Soon their chorus will be matched by the mating calls of American toads. After a long Ithaca winter, they are such a joy to take in!

9 Reasons to Come to Frog’s Way in the Winter

1. On-site Recreation: Just steps away from the B&B are our swimming pond, great for skating, and our miles of trails, great for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Our nearby common building has a recreation room with pool and ping pong tables, a playroom for young children, and a library filled with health, community, and sustainability resources.
2. Winter Sports: The surrounding area has hundreds of miles of trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and winter hiking, and plenty of choices to rent equipment. Runners can kick-start training with the Winter Chill 5k Running Series. You can downhill ski or snow tube at nearby Greek Peak Mountain.
3. Family Fun: Take the day and enjoy a fun family outing. Visit the super-hands-on Sciencenter, Museum of the Earth, Corning Museum of Glass, Cascades Indoor Waterpark or check out a Cornell hockey game.
4. Craft Beer & Local Wine: Winter is the best time for a wine country visit: fewer crowds means better access to the winemakers themselves, all the while enjoying delicious wine. Beer is booming in the area with over 70 craft breweries in the Finger Lakes Region, and you have your choice of six local breweries all within a 10 minute drive.
Visit fingerlakeswinecountry.com and fingerlakesbeertrail.com
5. Great Food: Besides our locally sourced and home grown breakfasts, you may want, one chilly night, to huddle up and not travel far for dinner. The common buildings for our first two neighborhoods, a minute or two by foot from the B&B, are great places to enjoy an inexpensive meal with mostly local and organic ingredients and a strong experience of our cooperative community. And our well equipped kitchen makes preparing a home cooked dinner easy, too.
6. Relaxation: Enjoy the unique peacefulness of our car-free neighborhood and our renewable energy-powered hot tub, which runs year-round. Relax under the stars on a cold winter night and listen to the music of the coyotes.
7. Warmth: Our radiant heat floors and super insulated walls make the place feel so cozy and comfortable
8. Liberation: Free your mind from the hustle-and-bustle of daily life with a book or magazine from our extensive Library in every room of the B&B. Each bookshelf features inspirational entries about Ithaca and the Finger Lakes, health and sustainability, nature and spirituality, positive futures, alternative lifestyles, and Good News. Slow up and snuggle up with a book!
9. Special Yumminess: We enjoy pampering our guests with special treats: enjoy the cozy comfort of the B&B while savoring a platter of our homemade chocolate zucchini bread along with one of our excellent teas, coffees and chocolate surprises.
