We had an awesome time at Leslie’s house. It’s beautiful and full of character. The best part of the house is the kitchen. If you love to cook and entertain this is the house to rent. I rented this house for myself and 12 friends for my wedding weekend. It was an awesome time. We were able to enjoy the fire pit and she has a lovely enclosed porch. Leslie was very responsive for anything we needed. Even though she does live on the property it didn’t seem like she was even there. I highly recommend this house if you love to cook and appreciate architecture!

We held a work retreat at The Trees and this was a perfect space to gather. Leslie was super helpful and thorough and we will definitely book more events here in the future!

This was a fantastic experience for me and my family. The property was everything we had hoped for and exactly as described and imagined. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leslie had everything taken care of and provided a warm, inviting atmosphere - especially the wonderful kitchen area which was well supplied with amenities and made for a great gathering spot for us throughout our stay. For a property of its age we were very happy to find everything in working order and in good condition, save for a few doorknobs that needed adjustment. would stay again and highly recommend.

The estate was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our large, extended family vacation. There was so much to do in the area with Taughannock falls state park. Lake Cayuga, wineries just a few minutes down the road and Ithica only a short drive away. On the estate itself we had everything we needed and more. Leslie was extremely helpful and we took full advantage of exploring the grounds and using the huge fire pit area in the evenings. The kitchen was fully stocked, beautiful, and modern, paired with the historic (but spacious and comfortable) bedroom, sitting rooms, and screened in porch we had plenty of space and it was truly a unique stay. We had a wonderful time!

The kitchen was enormous and we didn't use it to the full potential. All 10 of us comfortably hung out in many of the common areas ( kitchen, dining room, sun room). The beds were very comfortable and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat

We've rented many VRBOs + have never had a stay like this. We were very disappointed + did not think it reflected the standards of VRBO, the listing description/reviews, nor the exorbitant rate. Listing images were from the real estate listing when house was on the market, not in its current state. She charged us a very high cleaning fee yet home was filthy upon our arrival. The kitchen had dirty floors, dirty sinks with food filled strainers, dirty/food streaked appliance handles/surfaces, an extremely dirty, greasy stove/oven + dirty pots, pans, dishes, utensils we had to wash before using + created a clean station to place them in as we didn't want to mix them with the other dirty items + the cabinets were dirty. Drawers had dirty dish towels. Our socks were filthy from floors. The 1st night my niece found her sheets covered in stains + loose dirt + had to strip bed at midnight. She found a slug on the floor of her bedroom (in late Nov) + several insects. Daughter's room had so many bugs, she could not sleep in it, as before she tried many found their way to her items + bed. There were clusters on the ceiling + windows.They landed on her + her computer as she tried to work that night.We planned to grill the 1st night but grill was caked with thick black greasy soot + unusable. Counters + laundry room surfaces were cluttered.Nowhere to hang jackets bc hooks were full of clothes. When we opened the washer on Sat (4 days in) to do a load we were overtaken with a horrible odor bc they left wet towels sealed inside for days which we had to rewash.Washer was covered in black mold. So many things did not work: overhead lights, disposal, shower heads, etc. Lamps had dead bulbs + no spares. Veggies were ruined for Thanksgiving bc they froze in fridge. Many rooms were too cold. A bedroom closet had a broken elevator shaft with dangling electrical wires + very thick cobwebs. One washcloth for 8 of us. Pillows, bedding, mattresses(no mattress pads)were very old + very stained. Main door that we used multiple times a day was very difficult to open. We were surprised to find we were sharing house with another person since it wasn't mentioned in listing. We could see him through the floorboards-not the level of privacy expected nor made aware of. As we weren't afforded the courtesy of a cleaning, we requested a refund of fee + to consider if it was fair to charge us such high rates for the stay. Sent pics of conditions to VRBO. Wish we'd been fairly warned.

The property is so beautiful & magical! We had a small event (with Leslie's permission) in the backyard and there are so many potential spaces that looked amazing. She is really putting so much care into the property and improving it. The kitchen is incredible and very well stocked. The chef who used it was so happy with it. Leslie was a wonderful host, who helped us tremendously. Highly recommend staying at The Trees!

We had a wonderful time and appreciated the ease woth which Leslie communicated and worked with us. We had an amazing time and a beautiful wedding. Thank you!

Great Property and Great Location. Property was historical, unique and beautifully maintained. Everyone is stilling raving about the experience weeks later!

We had a great time at the property. The house was very spacious and clean. Leslie, the property manager was very nice and responsive to all of requests. The house is in a great location.

Beautiful historic home with wonderfully updated kitchen was great for a family get together - when we weren't out hiking or at museums we spent most of our time gathered in the kitchen or on the screen porch. Lovely property, easy to find and convenient to Ithaca, Corning Museum, Watkins Glen, and other local attractions. Farmers markets everywhere had great local produce. The room arrangement was a little odd, with one of the full bathrooms directly off the kitchen. But we had plenty of room for the 8 of us and enjoyed the stay.

Perfect launching pad for Ithaca, the lakes, Seneca Falls and the wine trails. The house and grounds are gorgeous and there was plenty of room for our extended family! Leslie was available while still giving us privacy, and was super conscientious and responsive to any request. Thanks for the beautiful flower bouquet, and the bonfires!

The property is very well located, short distance to the center of Ithaca. It is perfect for family and friends get together. The kitchen is very big and well equipped. The owner was very nice and helpful. We stayed for two nights in October 2020. We definetely recommend this property.

A charming house! Plenty of room for large group! Professional kitchen, enough room for everyone enjoy the time together while making meals! Leslie is very nice and responsive. Thanks for the camp fire! We had a wonderful stay! Would stay here again

What a wonderful house - an old castle really. We had plenty of room for a group of 10, including a large screened-in porch for evening drinks. The icing on the cake is the professional kitchen, which made meals easy and a pleasure to create. I would stay here again.

We fell in love with the property the minute we drove into the yard. Covered with huge trees and the perfect lawn. It is only 5 mins away from the Cayuga lake and Leslie has been more than helpful in communication and accommodation. 5 Stars all around!

Visited the Trees to celebrate by sisters birthday. The house is beautiful, interesting and spacious! Loved cooking in the gourmet kitchen which has just about everything one would need. Leslie was extremely responsive and helpful. She made the the most heavenly chocolate chiffon cake to celebrate the occasion. We are looking forward to staying again.

Lots of room for a large family gathering, and nice modern kitchen for making family meals and eating in formal dining room.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic home. We were pleasantly surprised to find beautifully cut flowers and the the little extras like coffee, delicious homemade English muffins! The kitchen is fabulous, especially for those who love to cook! There are so many rooms to enjoy as a group or to Simply have a moment alone and not be disturbed! Leslie is a lovely lady and a wonderful host! We hiked waterfalls in the area and enjoyed the house immensely. It was a perfect family get away!! Thank you for everything Leslie! Mike, Patti and family

Awesome place! Beautiful and spacious. The owner was so nice and super responsive with any questions we had

This was exactly what we were looking for. A place nestled in nature with gorgeous views all around. Plenty of room, very clean and super thoughtful. Perfect balcony to gaze at the stars with a telescope and screened porch to relax.

Beautiful estate exactly as shown in photos. Plenty of space for large groups and lots of amenities - the kitchen is top-notch. Its one weakness is that bugs love to get into the house and hover near light sources at night (but who can blame them haha). Leslie was a great host who left wonderful little touches to make us feel welcome and was incredibly responsive when we had any questions!
