“Walking along Main Street easily evokes what small town America was like at the turn of the century, when horses meant more than automobiles, all food was seasonal, and you could see shooting stars cross the blue-black sky.”
“Aurora has the special quality of feeling a bit outside of time. The Inns of Aurora is the perfect refuge for the worn-out city-dweller. ”
“Aurora is a time capsule of Americana perfection. Kids chase fireflies barefoot in the grass; parents relax with sundowners in rocking chairs. Late evening light shimmers across the lake. It’s impossible not to relax or be charmed.”
“One of the most romantic hotels in the country. Aurora, New York is America’s best-kept secret.”
