Spring is in full swing, and Ithaca is bursting with fresh air, waterfalls, and wildflowers. If you’ve been craving a change of scenery, here are 5 reasons to plan a spring getaway to La Tourelle:

  1. Buttermilk Falls is flowing.
    With the snowmelt feeding the falls, this is the best time to see Buttermilk in its full glory — and it’s right in our backyard.

  2. Trails without the crowds.
    Explore nearby parks like Robert H. Treman, Taughannock, and Watkins Glen with fewer people and all the beauty.

  3. Spring wine & cider releases.
    The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is buzzing with fresh releases and events. Grab a tasting passport and make a day of it!

  4. Spa is never out of season.
    The steam rooms are warm, the treatments are flowing, and the August Moon Spa team are ready to help you relax into vacation mode.

  5. Fewer tourists = better reservations.
    It’s easier to get into your favorite restaurants, book a last-minute glamping tent, or snag a seat by the fire in The Lounge.

Book your spring stay at La Tourelle and soak up the beauty of Ithaca before summer kicks into full gear.
