The house was very spacious and clean, and is in a convenient location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck with nice views.
We really enjoyed our stay! We mostly just slept at the house as we had a full itinerary for all of our days but the house was clean, cozy and very welcoming. It is a large house and there was plenty of room for our part of the family to come together. It was very conveniently located close to the lake and a few adorable towns. The hosts are lovely and were very attentive without being too overly involved. I always felt well informed and comfortable to reach out if I needed anything. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be booking again!
Very pleasant stay. It’s close to Cornell University and NY State parks. The host, Kumar, was very accommodating with all our requests.
This home is in the middle of quiet neighborhood and has an amazing view from the back porch. It has enough room for a large family, or a lot of friends, to get together and hold separate events in the multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The host is extremely helpful!
I stayed with several friends for a wedding and this was a fantastic place to rest and hang out. Although we didn't expect to spend much time with it, the variety of games definitely made it a fun place to stay. It's a beautiful area and I'm sure many of us will be back and would stay here.
This property is the ultimate retreat for large groups looking to experience the best of Ithaca. The house itself is incredibly spacious and packed with top-notch amenities, nestled in a lush, quaint setting that offers beautiful, serene views. What made our stay truly exceptional was the hosts Kumar and Wendy, who were incredibly responsive and proactively went out of their way to accommodate all of our requests. To top it all off, the location is absolutely unbeatable—peaceful and private, yet just a stone's throw away from the Cornell campus, stunning scenic waterfalls, and the Finger Lakes.
Kumar and Wendy were very responsive and friendly.. We had a large group, nine of us. There was plenty of room for sleeping accommodations as well as hang out spots. The complimentary snacks and drinks were a nice touch too. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for hosting us!
What a nice gem! Very spacious and cozy place, highly recommended if you are travelling with friends or family. Has everything you might need, and host was very accommodating and responsive. Thank you so much for having us, we enjoyed our stay!
