We had a wonderful stay at this welcoming retreat! The house was perfect for our family—spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with a well-stocked kitchen and multiple family rooms for relaxing together. The location was ideal for visiting Cornell, Ithaca College, and Cayuga Lake, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the back deck. Laurie was fantastic to work with—easy to communicate with and incredibly attentive. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wedding
I would rate the house and contents above a 5 star. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. Our family was in Ithaca for a wedding. We also explored the area. The house was a short distance from everything we wanted to do. Laurie was also an amazing host.

Perfect Family Weekend in a Welcoming Home
We stayed at Laurie’s place in Ithaca over the July 4th long weekend and had a truly wonderful experience. The property is perfectly located near the Ithaca Mall, and it was spotless, cozy, and exceptionally well-maintained. We were even treated to several deer sightings during our stay, which added such a peaceful, nature-filled charm to the trip.Laurie went above and beyond with thoughtful touches—like leaving popcorn snacks on the counter, which our family enjoyed. We also discovered a cornhole set in the garage and had a great time playing together in the mornings before heading out for the day. The kitchen was another highlight: well-stocked and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to settle in and feel at home.We truly appreciated the care Laurie put into every detail. She was a gracious and attentive host, and we’re grateful for the warm, welcoming atmosphere she created. We left with wonderful memories and would absolutely stay again!

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.

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.
