great, quiet spot to stay
This was rustic, very cute place in the woods yet close to everything. You can tell the hosts care about the people staying and they take great care with the preparations for arrival. it really felt like a home away from home. Also perfect if you have a dog. Walks down the long driveway are very pleasant. I would stay again.

Property Owners Who Go Above and Beyond
This unique lodge-style home is clean with very comfortable beds and a beautiful natural and private setting to explore! The owners truly go above and beyond to make the stay special - with so many thoughtful touches (snacks, basic food items, coffee, local recipe books, great local recommendations) and a warm reception to enjoy the full property. We were there for the eclipse - and the owners invited us into their private/separate area of the property for better views. Convenient to Cornell - and we're grateful to the owners for welcoming our dogs. Would recommend this place and would stay here again. Thank you!!

Fall Getaway
We had a great time staying at this house enjoying cozy weather and heading out to beautiful parks in the area. There was a lot to do at Ithaca as well, the Farmer's market in particular was really nice. The host was very thorough in leaving info about the property, as well as restaurants and things to do in the area. The house was very clean and comfortable as well.

Son's graduation
We stayed here with 6 adults for my son's graduation. We had reserved another place in September but the host canceled in May. We found this location at the last minute and couldn't be happier. I stayed there with my my family and friends and immediately felt at home. The house was clean and organized with very clear instructions. We where treated to breakfast items which my hubby and sons really appreciated. The house is close to the Cornell campus so it was a breeze driving in. The host was easily available via texting on the VRBO app. I'm so happy the other host canceled and we were able to enjoy our time here. 5 stars for sure.

A gem in the Ithaca area
This comfortable, meticulously clean and well appointed property is nestled in the privacy of a quiet, wooded area, but is just minutes from Ithaca and its surrounding attractions. The owner is genial, quick to respond and has thought of a myriad of small touches to make renters feel welcomed and comfortable, including some food/drink in the kitchen. There are clear instructions on how everything in the house works. The property is accurately described/pictured on the website, except that the coffee maker is a Keurig and the second bedroom has a comfortable full size pull out bed as described, not a twin day bed as pictured. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and enthusiastically recommend it to others.

Perfect Family Reunion
The house was just what we needed to get together with our adult children and the dogs. The kitchen was big and surprisingly well stocked. The living room had cozy couches, a good fireplace and a TV. The wifi was adequate. The house was extremely clean and had well designed surfaces to accommodate dogs, who had run in the yard/woods that surround the house. The house is only 15 mins from Central Ithaca, but feels like you are in the middlenof the woods.

Wonderful Stay at a lovely house
This house was perfect for our family trip to Ithaca. Elizabeth was a very considerate host and we had everything we needed for our stay. There was even milk and eggs in the fridge - which was such a pleasant surprise. It helped us start our day right! The property was very clean, lots of towels, HEPA filter, sanitized counters etc. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a vacation rental in Ithaca region.

Great basic place, wonderful owners
Place has all the basics covered and comfortable. The owners went above and beyond with signs communicating everything, lots of bottled water for those who don’t like the local (although it was fine for me), and even a welcome basket of goodies
