Ithaca is located on Cayuga Lake, in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. It is a 4-hour drive from NYC and 2.5-hour drive from Buffalo. There is an airport in Ithaca, as well as in the surrounding cities of Syracuse, Rochester, and of course Buffalo. There are also many bus routes to Ithaca.
We were unable to obtain room blocks due to this being Cornell University's orientation weekend, so please book your lodging as soon as possible.
