Welcome!

I believe that celebrations and gatherings become more meaningful when the setting is supportive of the vision.

In Aurora, amidst the beauty of these impeccably restored historic properties, with award-winning farm-to-table cuisine, and the irresistible charm of this little village, one must only look to the shoreline and admire the diamond-like sparkle of the lake to know that this is a truly special place.

I’m thrilled to be able to share with you the many ways you can offer the best of the Finger Lakes to your guests when you host with the Inns of Aurora. From meetings and executive retreats to fun, family gatherings, we’ll help you make a lasting impression.

Our flagship property, this historic federal gem features ten guestrooms.

Built in 1833, the Aurora Inn has long been the resting place for travelers to the storied Finger Lakes region. The Inn originally served as a stage coach stop for passengers on the Wells Fargo Express, founded by Henry Wells, a visionary entrepreneur who also founded Wells College here in Aurora.

Today, the Inn’s ten gracious guestrooms are true to their nineteenth century origins, yet meticulously re-envisioned for comfort and convenience. Many feature fireplaces for a cozy winter retreat. Others have private porches with swings and rockers that overlook beautiful Cayuga Lake and the vineyards on its western shore.
