Wonderful home
House is in a very quiet location. Grass was nicely cut when we arrived. The entire home had adequate A/C and dehumidifier for the hot and humid week. The provided breakfast items were a plus. The kids loved it. Thank you!

So Cozy!
We spent our days visiting the nearby waterfalls and the city of Ithaca, and our evenings relaxing in this lovely home. The house was clean and very cozy and the surrounding wooded area was beautiful. We had a wonderful time walking the trails on the property.The host responded immediately to our inquiries.10/10 highly recommended!

Felt like home
Thanks so much for the wonderful stay! You are amazing!
It was so fun to arrive to a personalized welcome sign for our new Cornell students. The house was fully stocked with anything we could think of.
The location was beautiful and private.
We will be back!!!

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.

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.

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.

Very nice property
Lili maintains an excellent property that while older, is in great shape, well equipped, and very comfortable to stay in. Everything worked properly and was right where you would expect it.
Definitely going back!

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!!
