Because Ithaca is both a tourist area and
a college town, Ithaca bed and breakfast is an increasingly
popular choice for travelers. The Ithaca hotel industry
has the persistent challenge of accommodating many thousands
of guests on special academic weekends. Cornell Commencement
Weekend brings the largest number of people and ongoing
efforts to accommodate guests have resulted in more and
more people participating in the Ithaca hospitality business.
While seasonal bed and breakfasts have alleviated the desperate
need somewhat, there is a more creative solution to this
challenge.
Homeowners throughout Tompkins County are generously offering
their homes to graduates’ families, always at competitive
rates. From an urgent need there has developed a warm and
welcoming hospitality trade at a fundamental level and nearly
any homeowner can engage in this opportunity. As a result
of sharing their homes and hospitality, life-long friendships
have been established, international house exchanges have
taken place and a step has been made toward international
harmony. Contact Commencement Weekend Rentals Inc. for additional
information.
