7 Minutes Away from Everything!

Location is perfectly quiet and relaxing but not far from campus (5 min drive to college town). Back porch is amazing for morning coffee and dinner/evening wind down. Well appointed kitchen really has everything since its Mary's home. Mary was lovely to interact with, had many helpful hints, and prepared the home perfectly for us when she knew we were getting in later than expected.

If you are booking for location, stop reading and book it NOW! Anyone who knows the area will snap it up before you have a chance to book. That is exactly what we did. Everything else was just the most amazing bonus. We were traveling for Cornell graduation with grandparents and siblings. The house was the perfect set up. First of all, there are just a couple of easy steps to get into the house and then the grandparents did not have any other stairs to navigate. Once inside, there are 3 rooms downstairs (we used 2 for the grandparents, and one for the brother - but one of the rooms is a twin over full so you can do 2 in full and/or one in twin bunk), and 1 queen bed upstairs in a loft in the Bird room. The kitchen/dining/living room was perfect for a little family party. We served apps and a buffet with more than enough room for everyone. Plenty of plates, cups, silverware, serving stuff, super easy to feed everyone - made full breakfast for the whole crew every morning. Mary had left us great coffee to brew. It was raining, but the outdoor space is spectacular, again, easy access for the grandparents, but weather would not allow. There is also another huge living room which we did not even use. Also downstairs is what we called the Bird room - Huge beautiful windows overlooking a lawn filled with bird feeders - we were obsessed - we used a bird app to ID the birds and they were gorgeous. And finally, Mary - she was the BEST!! Enjoy!!

What a lovely place to stay for our daughter‘s college graduation!! The property was clean, spacious, and a perfect retreat from all the revelry!! Staying at this property added so much convenience and comfort to our weekend!! I highly recommend it for anyone!

Very comfortable and clean home. Host was extremely accommodating to our family as we ran into challenges moving our daughter into Cornell. Very much recommend this house.

The house was wonderful with a beautiful peaceful porch and the owner was very communicative.

Mary’s house is in a wonderful residential neighborhood very close to the center of Ithaca! Her home is lovely and clean and warm and inviting. The back of her home has a lovely deck and is adorned by many bird feeders. It’s very peaceful back there and is a good way to take a personal time out when necessary! :) Mary arranged a phone call with us prior to our stay to answer any questions we had and to tell us a little bit about her home and where we could find certain things. Mary was also very quick to respond to our texts during our stay when we had a question. I’d say we had a 10 out of 10 weekend at Mary’s and would absolutely recommend staying there! Happy trails everyone!

Convenient to both campuses. Very clean and well-stocked. Mary is a delight to deal with. We were very happy with this VRBO

Everything was awesome - great location- gorgeous home - honest description of house - complete directions for stay. we highly recommend.

Everything about this stay was fantastic. The location is truly perfect- close enough to Cornell and downtown, but still a nice secluded retreat once you're ready to wind down your day. The home itself was clean and had eveything we needed. And Mary was very communicative and even let us check out late so our young girls could get a nap in before heading to the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days at this wonderful family home. It is located in a neighborhood 5-10 minutes from Cornell and downtown Ithaca. It was immaculate Upon arrival and had a beautifully stocked kitchen that made food preparation for the family easy and fun! The open kitchen/ family room/ living room layout and gorgeous outside deck and yard made It ideal for entertaining! Mary was a wonderful host and extremely communicative. Both check in and check out were easy. I would highly recommend this home!!
