We loved our stay in the Finger Lake Cottage. It was immaculate, cozy and comfortable. The decor of the cottage was really special. The bathroom tile work was amazing. The wall with the stone elephants added such an artistic touch. Our bed was very comfortable and the grounds are beautiful adding to such a relaxing stay. The location was perfect for the hiking we wanted to do and close to Ithaca for lunches and dinners. The staff was immediately responsive and friendly when we had questions. We highly recommend New Park and would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at New Park for a little getaway and what a perfect venue for a quiet getaway. The cottage was amazing. Close to different towns. We hiked saw wonderful vistas!! We will be back.
New park was completely charming. All the unique touches are special and keep you looking at every corner. The balloon suite was nice and spacious. The wish room is such a cool amenity especially when it's freezing out. The gurgling creek made the whole place magical. Service was top notch. From accommodating changes in my travel plans, to the smore station and blankets left out communally, to being very responsive to my questions. We just stayed for a weekend but I'm definitely jealous of anyone who gets to host an event here.
If you’re looking for a venue in Ithaca that actually lets you have the wedding you want, New Park is it. We had our wedding there in October 2025 with 120 guests, and honestly, it was a dream. We worked with the owner Sara. She knew exactly what she was doing every step of the way and made the process easy. They have this great online portal for seating charts and payments that’s super easy to navigate, and Sara actually sat down and walked us through our floorplan and timeline to make sure what we were picturing would actually work in the space. A few things that made our weekend perfect: The "Weekend Rental" is a game changer. Our whole wedding party stayed on-site all weekend, which was a lifesaver for getting an early start on hair and makeup and avoid having to haul our stuff to and from the venue early in the morning and late at night. But the real perk was being able to decorate the night before. If you’re a DIY bride like me, being able to prepare in advance saved us so much time, money and stress. The Rehearsal: Instead of a pricey restaurant, we just did a pizza party right at the venue while we decorated with our family and friends. It was so much more chill and intimate. The space is flexible enough that you could do something more upscale. They also offer another space at their sister venue nearby. The Space: The forest ceremony spot is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. They did offer us the option to marry by the falls nearby, but dealing with the permits and moving 120 people back and forth seemed like a headache. The on-site ceremony space was more than enough and looked stunning with the fall leaves. Weather/Comfort: Even for mid-October in Ithaca, everyone was comfortable. They have a heated tent for the reception that stayed really warm and comfortable all night. The Bar: They recently switched to in-house bar service and the pricing is very fair and a good selection. The scenery is gorgeous and lush in every season, and the whole team really went above and beyond to make sure our day went right. Our guests are still talking about how unique and magical the venue was!
It's a beautiful place!
I got stuck in Ithaca when my flight was cancelled and was able to easily book a night here at New Park Event Venue. It was a great experience, clean and cozy spot right along the lake. Staff responded quickly and went above and beyond when my flight was delayed again the next day. Highly recommend checking this place out any time of year!
The owners were very accommodating, responded fast, and were willing to work with you. Would book again if I’m in the area.
