About Us

shade garden with blooming pink phlox

We are Dave and Nancy, owners of the Restful Ewe Bed and Breakfast in King Ferry, New York. Over the last 27 years, we’ve developed the property into a sustainable, small farm home to a small flock of sheep and a handful of beef cows. We look forward to welcoming you to our peaceful Finger Lakes home!

King Ferry is about a 30-minute drive north of Ithaca, NY, and a 12-minute drive south of Aurora, NY on the east side of beautiful Cayuga Lake. As lifelong residents of the area, we would be honored to help you plan your trip to wineries, hiking trails, museums, and more. Contact Nancy to reserve a room.

Splendid stay. Nancy and Dave were charming hosts. We loved how quiet the setting is and how well-appointed the B&B is. Many thanks for a perfect stay.

This is a real quality location. Hosts Nancy & David truly make their visitors feel like they are family. This beautiful farm house is most restful and meticulously restored by master carpenter David. The breakfast is superb with coffee, fruit, and tasty homemade scones by the ever gracious Nancy. Further her directions through downtown Ithaca during a busy sport weekend was better than any GPS.

A perfect place to stay when visiting Wells College, Aurora, NY, or exploring the surrounding area including perhaps a wine- tasting tour of the Finger Lakes. You can expect a warm welcome, a well appointed spotlessly clean room with a comfortable bed, access to pleasant living room and porch areas, a peaceful night's sleep and a delicious breakfast.

Nancy and Dave are superb hosts! They accommodated our late request to stay, provided a warm and comfortable bed, and served the most delicious scones and coffee for breakfast. What a wonderful hidden gem.

Superb. Nancy and Dave have crafted a perfectly serene environment at The Restful Ewe. The farmhouse has been thoroughly and thoughtfully restored (right down to the period-appropriate cut nails in the bathroom threshold) and is decorated in a wonderfully calming palette. Fresh scones, glorious fruit, and an occasional distant "baa" from the flock made for a delightful breakfast experience. Nancy and Dave were gracious hosts. We hope to visit again soon.

A delightful and relaxing experience. We stayed 4 nights at the beginning of June in a lovely, comfortable, quiet room. We felt very welcome. Nancy and Dave made us feel right at home. Her breakfasts were very tasty and filling. She graciously accommodated our food allergies. Restful Ewe has beautiful views over the countryside and charming common areas inside. The sunsets over the Lake Cayuga countryside were spectacular.
