Beautiful place far enough away but very close to town
This place was perfect for a very relaxing stay visiting Ithaca. You are out of the city center to avoid the congestion but very close to do whatever you want. The view is magnificent. We watched the sunset over the lake and all the boats. The host was very nice and accommodating.

Ithaca is GORGES and so is this vrbo
The property is wonderful and the view is incredible. Jordan thought of everything you might want and then did more. Instructions were helpfully affixed to where you needed them - rather than buried in a book. Jordan very responsive to communications. Ithaca is GORGES!

Long weekend in Ithaca
This property has a beautiful view and a great location. The street itself is not too busy however there are several interesting sites all within 10-15 minutes. The host has thought of everything in the home to make your stay very comfortable.

Impeccably clean and wonderful view
Had a great stay while visiting our daughter at Cornell. The apartment was immaculate upon our arrival and we were immediately taken with the gorgeous floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake! The apartment is beautifully decorated and the host has thought of absolutely every detail to inside comfort from the quality of towels and linens, to coffee service and biscotti, discreet labels to help us find kitchen items and entertainment options. Communication was quick and easy and the location is quiet and very private. We will return!

Jordan has thought of everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views can't be beat, especially when viewed from a comfy chair in a warm apartment with a glass of wine. Jordan has thought of everything to make the stay more comfortable, from charging stations and easy streaming to a fully kitted kitchen. We will be back.
