Property Description
Relax and enjoy life in a beautifully simple tiny house! Clad in cedar and bathed in sunshine, this 8-sided artistic retreat invites travelers to re-connect to nature. The Octagon at Climbing Vine Cottages is only 12 minutes from downtown Ithaca but a world away on 16 acres of field, forest, orchards and gardens. The Octagon sleeps 2 on a full-size, decadently comfortable, memory foam bed. The kitchen is equipped with all of the basic essentials including a small fridge, induction cook top, and toaster oven plus cooking supplies and utensils. Dine in simplicity at the glowing walnut bar counter overlooking a wildflower field. Basic dining supplies are provided as are local, award-winning Gimme coffee, local honey, tea and olive oil. Melt away stress in the claw foot bathtub featuring a Victorian faucet and hand shower below the greenhouse window brimming with houseplants. The toilet and hand sink are tucked away providing privacy in this one-of-a-kind dwelling. Step through the sliding glass doors to a private grass lawn and perennial garden for picnics, sun bathing and star gazing. Internet is fast and reliable, capable of video conferencing, streaming, etc. The Octagon works well for travelers needing to work from home.
Our grounds are resplendent with flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables at the 2 orchards and numerous gardens. Our property borders a nature preserve especially noted for its spring wildflowers and featuring many incredible waterfalls. We're also only 5 minutes drive from both Treman and Buttermilk Falls State Parks.
We have hosted travelers for 10 years at our nearby Yurt (also listed on VRBO) and we look forward to offering the Octagon to travelers seeking peaceful respite, great adventure and a wonderfully memorable vacation.About pets:Pets allowed.Ask first, pet fee applies.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 5:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

Ideal Spot for a Personal Retreat
The moment I spied the inviting bronze fox door knocker on the orange door, I knew Michelle has created a unique space in which to unwind & be. I loved the beautiful wood countertop, the warm octagonal ceiling, the vintage clawtooth tub, the life affirming greenhouse window, Matisse's "Joy of Life" on the wall, the colorful birds on the curtains, & the natural light that abounds through windows and/or doors on 6 sides of the Octagon. Thank you Michelle for sharing your creation--it's truly a work of art!
BTW Should you decide to leave the Octagon & this tranquil property, there's plenty to do in nearby Ithaca.

Relaxing get away close to fun
The octagon cottage was perfect for a long weekend. It is very private and the wildflower loop was beautiful. Butterflies were in full force and gorgeous. We took a trip to Buttermilk Falls, less than 15 minutes away, and spent time in Ithaca at the Commons,. Odyssey Bookstore, and Mama Said Hand Pies. The rest of the time was spent relaxing at the cottage. It was a great way to recharge.

Escape to Natures Tranquillity
We loved this property so much! I loved the escape to nature and we felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, yet only 9 miles from Ithaca.
I loved the walk through the wildflower, picked fruit from the trees, visiting the chickens for fresh eggs and frogs and fish in the pond. It would have been an amazing place for stargazing if there wouldn’t of been cloud cover, but the sound of the crickets while I was sleep was perfect. The claw foot tub was also a bonus for me! Felt great after all our hikes! I would definitely visit again❣️so quiet and no tv did it for me!

Peace and solitude, quiet.
I was greeted by the property manager when I arrived but otherwise was alone here for four days, visiting friends in town. Ithaca is only about 10 minutes away from this property, but one has a pleasant feeling of isolation here because of the thoughtful siting of the little house at the back of the property. The interior is clean and well tended. The air conditioning and fans worked well. There is a private picnic area outdoors with a grill and fire pit, and fireflies decorate the meadow at dusk. Really nice.

Perfect launchpad for exploring!
The octagon is a perfect place to stay to explore the entire Ithaca area. I hiked every day, went kayaking on Seneca Lake, and ate in downtown Ithaca every night. The place is so peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed the clawfoot tub after my hikes too!
