Great House for Ithaca Area!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The saltwater pool and the hot tub were awesome. This was a great house for us to relax in and the owners were very responsive. The house is on a quiet cup-de-sac and the drive into Ithaca was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property in Ithaca
Perfect for a family getaway in the Ithaca area. We enjoyed a perfect Memorial Day weekend and our daughter’s Cornell graduation. Beautiful rural setting, splendid sunsets, 6 miles from Cornell, accommodated 7 overnight guests plus an additional 4 for dinner and relaxation in the evening. Our hosts were proactive and responsive. Pool and hot tub added to the fun!

Spacious and clean with a great pool!
We are a family of 6 with 4 boys and had a wonderful time staying at this house for the July 4th long weekend! The location is perfect, close to several state parks. House is very spacious, clean and well stocked. The biggest hit is the swimming pool. Our boys loved the water slide! so much fun. Everything worked nicely. The owner John was very responsive and helpful. Overall a great stay! Highly recommended.

Home near Cornell
We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend to attend my sons graduation at Cornell. The house was very spacious and comfortable for my family including grandparents. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood, an easy 10 minute ride from campus.

Great pool, spacious house, peaceful neighborhood.
The property was nice and well kept. The pool was great. It was clean and heated. The house had everything we needed. We were disappointed that there wasn't Central air conditioning. We didn't know that there were only two units in two rooms and window fans in other. It was quite warm at night for my children to sleep. The bathrooms were nice and updated however, the water smelled like sulfur. The house had a air hockey table, indoor and outdoor basketball hoops, trampoline and Xbox. The finger lakes and Corning we're about ,45 Minutes to one hour away from the house. Shopping was about 15 minutes away. Jon, the homeowner was very responsive to our needs.
