The Peregrine House

Victorian Bed and Breakfast

The Peregrine House Victorian Bed and Breakfast is located in Ithaca, New York. Within walking distance to Cornell University and close to the enlightened downtown area with many fine restaurants, art galleries and interesting shops. Ithaca is in the Heart of New York State's Finger Lakes Wine Region at the Hub of both the Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails.



The House

This 1874 brick Victorian with a mansard roof and wide front porch was built by an Englishman who came to Ithaca to help build Ezra Cornell's house, Llenroc. The house is described in an 1874 issue of the Ithaca Journal as the new residence of John Snaith, full of chestnut, ash and walnut trim. There are eight air-conditioned rooms, with telephones, most with private baths. The living room and dining room on the first floor have working fireplaces similar to those in Llenroc. The house sits on a corner lot, bordered by pretty English gardens and a wrought iron fence. There is off-street parking available for 8 cars on the property. Proximity to both the Ithaca College and Cornell University campuses keeps the house occupied during the academic year with visiting professors, parents, and college alumni.
