Our home is on the property, comfortably distanced from the cottage. There is a keypad on the front door for self check-in.

The cottage was very clean, stocked with goodies (wine, water, milk, orange juice, fruit, soda, yogurt), and all the little touches considered. Janelle emailed me throughout the stay to ensure everything was working out. We really enjoyed our week-long stay here and appreciate the clean, well-thought-out accommodations and extra goodies. We booked another week in a few months to visit our son. We also had little baby frogs welcome us each morning at the stairs as we departed.
The place is clean and quiet...all you see is forest when you look out of the windows. Perfect space for new family or couple.
Comfortable and clean.
Had a great stay at the cottage in the woods! Clean, cute and cozy! Janelle and Aaron were so easy to communicate with and provided some lovely amenities including coffee, wine, snacks and a bowl of fruit! Would definitely recommend and will be back!
We stayed at this property while visiting Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region to celebrate our anniversary. It was very comfortable and convenient to the sights we wanted to visit. It was exactly as described and we enjoyed our visit tremendously. Janelle and Aaron are great hosts.
Aaron and Janelle could not be better hosts. Every detail and appointment was perfect. The wooded setting allows for maximum solitude, and a setting for rest and relaxation. Fresh flowers, a wonderful bottle of wine, coffee extraordinaire, and so much more. We were 5 minutes from Cornell, 10 minutes from downtown Ithaca, and 15 minutes from Ithaca College. If we could give this property and the hosts 15 stars we would.
My wife and I stayed at this property to celebrate her 40th birthday in Ithaca. The cottage was very comfortable and Janelle and Aaron provided many thoughtful amenities to make our stay even more comfortable- truly above and beyond. The location is outside of the bustle of downtown Ithaca, but within 15 minutes of anything there. We were able to easily drive to the Cayuga Wine Trail, Cortland, and 6 different waterfalls in the area. I highly recommend this property to anyone. Thanks Janelle and Aaron for your hospitality!
We absolutely loved our time at Janelle + Aaron's cottage! It was super clean, beautifully designed and had every little thing you could want / need. We highly recommend staying + plan to be back in the summer months!
This home is perfect for a relaxing get away, nestled in the woods with all the necessary comforts. The house itself is beautiful with a cozy living room and nice kitchen equipped with the works. My wife and I made delicious lattes with the espresso machine and enjoyed them on the peaceful deck overlooking trees. The bed is very comfortable with all the extra blankets you might need. All the little touches, such as a bottle of wine, Pellegrino, and fruit bowl made the stay extra special. And, you're just a ten minute drive to Cornell/Ithaca and all the fun things to do in town. We are booking again ASAP!! Highly highly recommend.
I've been coming to Ithaca for about 15 years to see family and due to COVID decided to rent a separate place for this family visit. This was an ideal spot; in the woods, feels remote but ten minutes from downtown Ithaca. Well equipped, clean, lovingly decorated with comfortable furniture and basic provisions were provided (great coffee!). The deck was perfect for having my small family over (3 people) for dinner; my niece loved the deck for her remote learning (good internet) and I loved the chimnea/fire pit on the rear deck. It was a very relaxing time, and I hope to return on my next annual trip to Ithaca.
