Home

Our historic estate is a peaceful retreat from the fray. The Inn is a cozy and luxurious setting for weddings and getaways. We welcome you to enjoy our home and property as if it were your own.

Weddings

We specialize in hosting weddings and other formal events. The Inn is rustic and romantic, combining modern tastes with the spirit of a farmhouse. The exposed wooden beams, oversized fireplaces, and classically furnished banquet room create a charming venue for weddings.

We have hosted hundreds of events at the Inn over the past 30 years, and bring our experience and expertise to each new occasion.

The Property

Built in 1814, the Fontainebleau Inn is a stately manor house tucked on the shores of Cayuta Lake. The historic estate features thirty acres of old-growth forest, spectacular gardens, and wide, grassy lawns. Enjoy a stroll through our wooded trails, or spend some time at the lakeshore where you will find Adirondack chairs, a large dock, and a stone fire pit.

The interior of the Inn elegantly combines the history of the house with comfort and modern amenities. The entire building has been restored and maintained to bring out its classic, country heritage. Make yourself at home in our farmhouse kitchen, cozy living room, or on our spacious stone porches. In the oldest part of the house, you will be able to explore the classic dining room, antique library and formal parlor. The house features eight guest rooms with private bathrooms, as well as a large banquet room and tented stone patio for formal events.
