Welcome to Tillinghast
Manor Bed and Breakfast

A Finger Lakes retreat, blending Southern hospitality and European charm

Built in 1873 for George and Hannah Jones, this elegant historic home has long been part of the charm and heritage of Ovid, New York. In September 1991, the property was purchased by Donald and Blanche Tillinghast, who lovingly restored the home and opened it in June 1992 as Tillinghast Manor, a Finger Lakes area bed and breakfast.

We are delighted to welcome you to our cozy, historic home nestled in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes. Whether you are seeking a leisurely escape, planning a day of wine tasting along the lakes, exploring scenic hiking trails, or simply relaxing in a peaceful small-town setting, Tillinghast Manor provides the perfect place to unwind.

A cozy living room with blue sofas, light-colored armchairs, a central table, and decorative elements against a soft blue wall.
