Stay at These Luxurious Historic Houses in Aurora NY

 


Perched on the picturesque Cayuga Lake, this pretty town sandwiched between New York and Rochester was an overlooked destination until recent times. It wasn't until American reporter Pleasant Rowland embarked on a project to redevelop historic properties in town that it was put on the tourist map. Throughout the course of this ambitious project, Rowland oversaw the transformation of several buildings in town that were on the National Register of Historic Places into beautiful accommodations.

 

Nestled in the stunning Finger Lakes region, these five inns are an essential part of The Inns of Aurora resort experience. 


Wallcourt Hall


Originally constructed in 1909 as a sophisticated prep school for girls, this heritage structure has undergone numerous transformations over the years, including time spent as a Wells College dorm and even a studio. It eventually found its place on the Aurora map as a lavish boutique property boasting 16 modern guestrooms with vibrant interiors, a fireplace, lawns, a vintage-style porch with rocking chairs, and contemporary amenities to round out the experience.


The Aurora Inn


Colonel E.B. Morgan built this classic New York inn in 1833 as a stylish rest-stop for busy travelers from all over the region. This beautiful historic inn continues to accommodate guests in its sumptuous lakeside interiors with an adults-only concept. Guests can select from a variety of deluxe rooms and suites, all of which feature beautiful furnishings, cozy fireplaces, and a vintage charm that refuses to fade.


E.B Morgan House


This stone house, one of the most notable of all lakefront buildings in town, was built as a private residence by its namesake E.B Morgan in 1858. Restored to its former glory in 2005, the E.B Morgan House reopened its doors to curious travelers, inviting them to bask in its unrivaled luxury and allure. This house is easily one of the most luxurious places to stay in Aurora, with classic parlors that harken back to a bygone era, mahogany porches to take in lakeside vistas, an enviable modern art collection, and magnificent guestrooms.


Zabriskie House


Located along Aurora’s main thoroughfare, this stately house was the brainchild of Robert Zabriskie, E.B Morgan’s grandson. Apart from the eleven guest rooms that are charmingly decorated in themes of cool blue, the house is renowned for its magnificent wood-paneled dining room that can be exclusively rented for private events. As much a luxurious accommodation as an architectural landmark, this house is also well-known for its grand staircase, its double parlor, and its columned front porch from where guests can take in sweeping vistas of Aurora’s quaint Main Street. 


Rowland House


Yet another genius accommodation on the sparkling shores of Cayuga Lake, Rowland House combines modern charm with vintage nostalgia. Featuring four guestrooms, this inn promises its guests a relaxing experience replete with bespoke modern art, lakefront vistas, marble baths, and a luxurious ambiance. There is also a Grecian temple and a two-story boathouse on the premises. A private lounge and a classic wraparound porch elevate the experience.
