Big house but insufficient amenities.

This house suited our purpose well. We were five couples and all wanted to be comfortable and have easy access to bathrooms. The house worked for that. However, there were some deficiencies in terms of amenities. The main one was that none of the bedroom windows had blinds, shades or curtains of any kind. So if you don’t like waking up at the crack of dawn, it is strongly recommended to bring blindfolds. In addition, the master bedroom suite which includes a large bathroom which had neither blinds on the windows nor a door between the bathroom and the bedroom. You can pretty much see straight from the bed to the toilet.

Wonderful place to hold a family gathering. Attended a Celebration of Life service in Ithaca. Invited a few friends back to the house to share a meal and reminisce. The house was perfect. Plenty of places for family to sit and talk.

Beautiful and peaceful spot!

The house was a perfect place for our family to gather. The house is large, very nice, lots of open space to be together, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and has great outside space as well. We really enjoyed our stay!

Spacious and Quiet Getaway

Everything was exactly as described and hosts were easy to contact and quick to respond. The jacuzzi tub has a beautiful view and the kitchen was generously large! Driveway was plowed when it snowed (very helpful because it is long!) and the heated floors kept our feet warm on our winter trip.

Amazing place, beautiful location

We had the best thanksgiving together with our family. Great memories and well-appointed house. Plenty of entertainment for our teenagers! The surrounding scenery was stunning and very peaceful! Would love to stay again sometime.

Overall a good experience

The house was nice, views were amazing. The only issue we had was the toothpaste and hair in the master bathroom and hair in one of the other upstairs bathroom sink. We found some cleaning supplies so it was easy to clean up.

Great Stay near Ithaca

The house is as advertised and more! Loved the location about 15 mins from downtown Ithaca. House was super spacious for a group of 7 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. Kitchen was very well equipped alongwith all the grilling tools and firewood for the pit. The amenities are definitely more than shown on VRBO. Our only challenge was getting internet during our entire stay but the property manager was very helpful in helping us with all the questions. We did get a partial refund due to the internet issues we had. Overall, a lovely stay and we will definitely be back again!
