We stayed here for a family wedding in Lansing. There was 7 of us and we fit perfectly! The house was great for us, the owners were reachable and communicative. The place was very clean and even better than the photos! Very quiet and would definitely stay here again!

It had been a hectic few months for us and this particular house was a perfect get away to unwind, chill and relax. The owners of the house (Lori & Geman) were super responsive, helpful so we really felt at home away from home. The kitchen and pantry were all loaded with utensils, spices, oil, sauces so we didn't had to shop for them. Beautiful stream behind the house is very relaxing. The house is very spacious with nice patios which were very well lit. Thank you again to Lori and German for such a memorable vacation in your beautiful nest. Best regards,

House was clean, however in need of repairs. Well water from sinks had very bad smell and had corroded the faucets. Alot of small flying insects in house from houseplants. Also there were too many personal items of homeowner in house (many family photos, clothing,etc) which were a bit unsettling and distracting. We were awakened at 2:00 am by a chirping smoke detector, and there were no batteries in the house, so we had to go out and get a battery to stop the noise.

Beautiful, comfortable, impeccably clean place in a charming upstate New York Fingerlakes setting. If you want a getaway this is your place.

Home was very warm with charm and views. Modern kitchen with open concept which provided a great area for gatherings.
All in all, the home had good vibes. A nice big deck out the back of the home and also a nice size deck in the front . Felt a bit uneasy wandering to the fire pit in the back finding out the owners of the property frequent to reside in the lower level of the home . We did meet the owners son and he was very nice and reassured us that we could make ourselves at home .

This is a beautiful property! There was plenty of room, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was completely outfitted with everything I could possibly need. The kitchen also had a water cooler which was so very impressive for a house with well water. The owners where is Elizabeth I needed some thing. Everything worked out beautifully. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Finger Lakes Getway
The property was very nice and set up as advertised. We especially enjoyed the stream and fire ring behind the house. The location was a bit far from the majority of wineries and lake locations but we knew this when reservation was arranged. Exploring close by Cornell University gardens was an unexpected treat. Lori was very responsive to text message for a minor need.

Girls weekend
The house was as described in the listing. It was well stocked with kitchen appliances and utensils, bath and lake towels. It was clean. The location was perfect. We spent some time in Ithaca and visiting surroundings waterfalls. The host was great.
The only reason I only gave 4 stars on accuracy of listing is because the was an apartment on the bottom floor or basement and we weren’t expecting it. Otherwise it was perfect !

Family Christmas Get Away
We had way and very cordial communication with the hosts, Lori and German. The house is nestled along a river bank where, weather permitting, you can use the fire-pit or propane grill. There is a nearby small market and gas station for essentials, but it is more fun to go a couple of miles down Triphammer Rd. to the Ithaca Coffee Company, Wine Store, Tops Grocery store, Kinney Drug Store, or Target--if needed. It is a rural setting. close to the Cornell Ornithology Trails, three easy to access waterfalls, and abut 45 minutes from Watkins Glen if you are wanting to go wine-tasting. We would recommend upper end restaurants, "The Heights" in nearby Cayuga Heights, "Antlers" in Lansing, and "Coltivare" in Ithaca. We did not go this time because of the Covid outbreak, but have been to these earlier in the year. The house is well stocked and includes a water cooler, which we appreciated.

Excellent vacation house!
Our experience could not have been better. The house is really nice, rooms are well-appointed and maintained, beds very comfortable, and the front and back porch are great places to spend time. The hosts are very nice and responsive to questions. The location is perfect, just outside of Ithaca. An excellent pub and excellent pizza place are both two minutes away. We plan to be back any time we come back to the Finger Lakes.

Perfect place for family gathering
The house and location were perfect for viewing (online) and celebrating our granddaughters graduation from Ithaca College. So appreciated the special touches provided by the property manager: fresh flowers, a delicious apple strudel, coffee, and a congratulatory sign across the upper staircase. Nice bedding and towels. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. We all loved the back balcony that overlooked a forest, with a creek running below. The property managers were very helpful and accommodating. So glad we chose this house for our special time.

Love this place!
This is our second time staying here and we love it! We had plenty of room and really enjoyed our stay. Deer in the front in the evening and a creek in the back. It is beautiful! The owners are great! They left a treat with a card on the table when we arrived. We definitely recommend.
Thank you Lori and German!

Second Time Stay
We rented this property last year during homecoming week and decided to rent it again this past weekend while visiting our son at Cornell. As before, the property didn't disappoint! The house was clean and comfortable, and it had everything we needed for our stay. There's a nice fire pit behind the house (down by a beautiful creek) that we thoroughly enjoyed on Saturday night. The owners are great to deal with and very responsive as well. We will definitely rent here again.

Beautiful, comfortable house in quiet area
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! The house was spacious yet cozy. It was stocked with everything we needed and well organized. The linens and towels were comfortable. The area is quiet and peaceful. There was a small creek and fire pit in the back and fields to look at in the morning out front. The owners left us a breakfast treat to welcome us. I will definitely recommend this property to others looking to stay in the Ithaca/Lansing area.

Great place to stay!
We needed a place for two families for homecoming weekend, and this home was exactly what we needed. There was a welcoming note and apple pastry for us when we arrived. We loved the spacious open floor plan and the beautiful country views. We enjoyed a night around the fire pit, and the kitchen and bathrooms supplied everything we needed. The house was clean, neat, nicely decorated, and well maintained. We had a chance encounter with the owners and they were very nice as well. This is a great place to stay.

Loved staying here!!
German and Lori were so amazing! They went above and beyond to get us coffee and a delicious coffee cake that we gobbled up for breakfast! The house is beautiful and the view out the windows is breathtaking. The only problem was that we didn’t have more time to spend there. Next time we are in town we would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much for your hospitality!!
