Our Ithaca Home & Garden is a gracious, classically-detailed home with wonderful spaces to celebrate special occasions both indoors and out! Professionally cleaned to help you be safe. The unit is wheel-chair manageable with spacious rooms, hallway and wheel-in shower. Ask us about using the lovely garden to hold a small outdoor BBQ reception or a fun marshmallow roast at the fire pit.
The entire downstairs unit is for your use. It has a private front and back door, as well as French Doors opening to the private formal terrace and garden. Behind the garage is the outdoor dining area with a gas grill, and further back is a sitting area with a fire pit. We want you to enjoy it all!
Guests may enjoy and use the entire back yard. Tenants and guests upstairs in the house (who have their own private entry and outdoor deck) may request to use the dining area and the fire pit, but priority always goes to our downstairs guests.
We live nearby and we enjoy meeting our guests! We also respect your privacy and will be available as needed.
Walk to the Farmer's Market, to nearby eateries, coffee shops, and Ithaca Falls. Hike up Cascadilla Creek Trail to Cornell. Or, ride a Lime Bike on the nearby waterfront trail.
Walk, ride or bike. This location is close enough to walk to everything! Bus transport to Cornell and IC is available one block away. Rental Bikes are available at Bicycle Shops and at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Get out and peddle!
This is a lovely space indoors and out, with lots of grace--please enjoy it!

Like staying at my favorite Aunt's house

Oh my goodness! This house!! As soon as you walk in your soak up the beauty of this home. Everything was spic and span. The living room and dining room were the perfect place to visit and play cards. The kitchen had everything you needed...even an electric tea kettle! The beds were very comfortable. We had a neighborhood kitty visit us in the morning while enjoying coffee on the back porch. Very convenient to shopping, cafes and all those beautiful waterfalls. We've stayed in quite a few homes over the years and this one was by far THE BEST!

Wonderful (but rainy) stay in Ithaca

What a lovely apartment! I was blown away by how nicely it is decorated and laid out. Only on the last day did I discover that the building had been an Italian market back in the 1920s or so. Very nicely rehabbed into a spacious 2 bedroom place. The main living dining area is especially nice, with a large dining table, sofa, two comfortable arm chairs, etc. It looks out on a beautiful garden, which I wish I could have used, but for the almost-perpetual rain during my stay. I found two great coffee shops nearby - Botanist (1201 N. Tioga) and Gimme! Coffee at 430 N. Cayuga, which was only about a 10 minute walk. I heartily recommend Taverna Banfi at the Statler Hotel on Cornell's campus for upscale dinner. I wish I could have spent more time to explore the dining scene! There's so much to see within an hour or so of Ithaca: the Women's Rights National Historic Park and the "It's a Wonderful Life" (movie) Museum, both in Seneca Falls. At least five waterfalls which are all quite different (hiked to see those on an earlier trip), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (birds) are nearby, and the fantastic Corning Museum of Glass. Ithaca is a great place as a base for a week-long exploration of that area of New York State. Looking forward to returning and spending more time!

Wonderful stay!

We stayed for almost a week and felt right at home! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was a plus. The neighborhood is very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants, the farmers market, and the Commons. We would definitely stay again if we return to Ithaca!
