Ithaca, New York
Our contemporary home sits atop 36 acres with breathtaking views of the hills and valleys. It sits back from the road by 800 feet and offers complete privacy.
Watching the sun set in the evenings, observing the star filled sky at night, backyard picnics and campfires, wine on the deck at the end of the day, playing games into the night with family and friends, gourmet dinners with your special person, cozy gatherings and great conversations in the open living space, the list goes on and on. This is the magic of our Ithaca home.
The kitchen is clean and well thought out. Quartz counter tops, stainless appliances and all the necessary tools and equipment needed for either soup and a sandwich or a complete gourmet meal. The dining nook comfortably seats 6 people (there is an extra table and four chairs disguised as an entrance table, if needed).
There is a gas fireplace and a large screen, smart TV in the living room. A large spa tub in the bathroom. The primary bedroom has a king size bed with large windows overlooking the amazing view. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a beautiful portable crib with an extra comfy mattress. The loft (Kids favorite part of the house) has two twin beds and a smart TV. The home has strong internet service.
I supply all towels and linens as well as paper products so there is no need to bring your own.
Location wise…the home is 6 miles to downtown Ithaca, 5 miles to Ithaca College, and 8 miles from Cornell University. We are 60 miles to Syracuse University and 42 miles from Binghamton University (in case you are checking out colleges and universities).
There are three state parks in the area including Taughannock Falls, Robert H. Treman, and Buttermilk Falls. They all offer swimming during the summer (Either waterfall or lake swimming), as well as great hiking. The Finger Lakes Trail is adjacent to our property . There are bike trails throughout the area. Great skiing both cross country (on our property) and downhill close by. There are lots of great restaurants, wineries, breweries, and museums (Johnson Museum of Art, Museum of the Earth (dinosaurs), and a hands-on science center (Ithaca Sciencenter). Do not miss the famous Ithaca Farmers Market.
I will respond quickly to all inquiries and would be happy to answer any questions you may have about our home, the area or if you need recommendations. I look forward to accommodating you on a family vacation, romantic getaway, college visit, girls weekend etc…
Come visit and relax on the back deck, take a deep breath and enjoy the sunsets/stars and unwind in our Finger Lakes home.
Property was clean and inviting. Location private. Host Julie was incredibly prompt in communication. Highly recommend.
The home is perfect!
This is our go to place when spending time in the finger lakes. We have not been disappointed. It is always relaxing. Thanks again Julie for sharing your place and allowing us to share some memories with our 2 year old grandson. He loved the house, parks, waterfalls and science center. The three of us had a great time. Kevin and Donna P
A very comfortable house with a large open floor plan for hanging out, a well-stocked kitchen and lots of amenities. Wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of everything. The kitchen was great to cook in, but it would have been nice to have a dishwasher. A note to others - the stairs up to the loft are VERY steep and only one person in our group of six was willing to climb up there to sleep.
Beautiful home with stunning views. Cozy, clean and well appointed home. We loved our stay! Thank you to our wonderful hosts.
Loved our stay, place very clean, comfy, fun and awesome views. had great weekend with college aged kids about to start new jobs. Thank you
The property is lovely and the house is clean, well stocked, and cozy. It is truly a haven with birds flying, singing, and gorgeous views. A few issues, one significant. There was an army of large black ants in the kitchen. I am not sure if this can be combatted since the house is really in the country. The other issues…washer and dryer were advertised in the listing but a sign was put on the washer saying we could not use them. Also - no dishwasher.
My wife and I love this place. It is a great place to relax and unwind and I t is very quiet. If you want quiet and relaxing this is the place. We have stayed twice and will definitely be staying again (already looking for the next dates). Julie is an amazing host and responds quickly to any questions you might have. Trust me when I say if you book this property you will not be disappointed.
Lovely little cottage - cozy and convenient!
For my own selfish reasons I would love to leave a bad review because I don’t want everybody to know about this property but I wont. What an amazing place, I can’t say enough about it. The views are amazing, The quietness is amazing and relaxing. The house is amazing and we will be back. Did I mention this property is amazing? And Julie is too!
This was our 2nd stay & much too short! This lovely home has everything you need & is one of the most peaceful places we have stayed. The beds are extremely comfortable. The hosts respond promptly to any needs & the views are breathtaking. This will always be our #1 choice when visiting Ithaca.
What a wonderful stay we had at this house. The house is beautiful and clean, the view is just stunning. Our family loved the deck and the nice swing set. The location is awesome - gorgeous property and 10-20 minutes away from many things to do in the area.
The house sits on a high hill overlooking a valley and other small mountains. The view is spectacular, especially at sunset. The house is clean and cute and it has everything you need to have a pleasant stay. We would definitely return if we were in the area.
What a perfect retreat to stay in while dropping our daughter at college. Spectacular views & a cozy/lovely home was the perfect antidote to the chaos of college move in. Thank you!
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend!! The house is just perfect and well stocked. No detail was spared. We loved it and will definitely book again.
This was a wonderful property. The swing set and toy closet were a huge hit with our children. The view was AMAZING! The house was clean and had all the creature comforts. The location was fantastic. We have nothing negative to say about this property. We would definitely return!
This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed. The view from the back porch was gorgeous, especially at sunset. Great location for exploring various state parks and hikes. Our daughter loved the loft bedroom. Thanks so much for a great stay!
Everything about this place is great; from the views off the back porch to the updated interior and comfy couches/beds, to the quiet and spacious property, it's the perfect weekend getaway. And my kids LOVED the back yard, playset and hutch full of kites and towns. And it's only 10 mins to downtown Ithaca so you can get the best of both worlds. Will definitely be back!
Loved the house. Enjoyed the barn swallows flying around outside. Great views and great for star gazing.
