Comfortable, spacious, great views and location Perfect spot for our family attending graduation weekend. Close to airport and Cornell campus. Clean, cozy, comfortable spot to relax together in between events. Hosts were great with communication and instructions - even had coffee creamers for us! First class all the way, thank you!

This property in Ithaca far exceeded our expectations. The home was immaculately clean when we arrived, and the property had back yard amenities including a large deck (table, chairs and umbrella), gas grill, fenced yard, and cornhole game. The house sits off of the main road down a long driveway, so it felt secluded and quiet. The property owner communicated with us promptly every time we had a question prior to our arrival and provided excellent instructions on how to enter the home using the keypad, a welcome book with plenty of information and check out instructions. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook all of our meals during our 3-day stay as well as grill tools. There were 7 of us staying in the house and the house never felt crowded. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Spotless, spacious, welcoming, and convenient This was home base for a Thanksgiving with family. The house is absolutely spotless, with comfortable modern rooms and lots of space to spread out. The house is set back from the road with a secluded backyard with a deck and a fenced in area, you’d never know the grocery store and mall are 5 minutes away, and downtown Ithaca is a short drive. The kitchen was well stocked, and communication with Laurie the owner was excellent.

Beautiful home away from home Colleague and I attended a conference at Cornell. This home was a perfect stay. Laurie communicated before, during and right before our leave. The home was completely stocked with everything and more to make our stay an easy and comfortable one. Just 10-12 minutes away from Cornell. Would give higher than 5 stars if possible!

Wonderful Finger Lakes vacation home We loved our stay in this lovely, tastefully, handsomely appointed house. Laurie was an attentive hostess who responded quickly and professionally in all our dealings. Instructions were thorough and there were very nice, thoughtful touches on our arrival. This rental ranks in the very top tier of our VRBO rentals.

Excellent Experience & Stay! Our stay and experience at this property was fabulous from start to finish! Laurie, the homeowner, was very communicative, professional, thoughtful, kind, helpful with every detail. The home felt larger and more roomy that the photos. Every amenity and supply needed was available, which was nice and alleviated the need to go out and buy much aside from groceries. It was so peaceful every morning, having coffee, sitting on the back deck, and watching all the wildlife around us. It was so relaxing and felt like we were home. The home is in a fantastic location, only minutes from the grocery store, BJ's, Target, and restaurants. We will absolutely keep this property as our #1 choice the next time we're in the area! Thank you for opening your home to our family!

comfortable oasis easy drive to everything The home is situated in a quiet, private country plot only 10 minutes drive from Ithaca city center, 5 minutes to the park at Cayuga Lake, and easy drives to various state Parks. We slept so well, felt truly relaxed and always happy to be HOME when we returned to the house. We stayed a week and could not have been happier with the fully stocked kitchen, large bedrooms, tasteful,warm decor and little extras like milk in the fridge and snacks for our arrival. We had excellent communication with the owners. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
