We loved staying at the Timber Garden Cottage. It's beautiful and just a few minutes' drive from Ithaca. Communication with the host was fantastic. We hope to come back soon. : )

Over all we loved the rental! We slept well after we hiked 3 water falls, and visited both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Several items could have better .... such as a Keurig with coffee cups instead of the "French Press" coffee. All & all we had a wonderful time!

My spouse and I stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the post and beam interior and its unique decor. It is located on a busy road, but we really didn't notice the traffic noise while inside. It is conveniently close to Ithaca where we dined at the Ithaca Bakery (would recommend visiting there) and the Moosewood Restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is also very close to many beautiful waterfalls which we visited. All in all, a great place to visit and a really nice cottage to enjoy after our outings.

This VRBO was cute. A couple of comments/suggestions…since the floor is concrete, I definitely suggest some more area rugs as floor got chilly in the morning and evening. Secondly, lots of lightbulbs were out in the rental. The 2nd floor loft was nice but floorboards were very creaky so if someone got up during the night to use the bathroom the other person definitely was woken up even though we tried to be quiet. Bathroom was updated and nice with nice amenities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as only 8 minutes or so from downtown, wineries and hiking places. It was a different VRBO for us with its unique charm.

Property is just as described. Very clean, easy ride to downtown Ithaca. No issues at all. Would definitely stay again.

This was a bakery and greenhouse business turned small cottage for 2-3 people. Just outside of Ithaca, not far from everything Ithaca has to offer. Beautiful windows and woodwork inside, with a nice loft area for sleeping.

This charming house was perfect for our little family getaway. Everything was clean and well organized. We had no issues at all.

We really enjoyed the property, everything you needed was there. It is a great location for exploring the Ithaca / Watkins Glen area, we did lots of hiking and this was the perfect location.

Nice place. Comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely and modern property in a peaceful setting. Audra was super easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. If we have one constructive suggestion, it’s to add more light in the bathroom, particularly at the mirrors, where it’s a bit dark for men’s shaving. But the bathroom has been renovated recently and is nicely appointed. The Wi-Fi signal was excellent. This was our first stay at a vacation rental and we’ll be happy to do it again…at this property, if it’s available. Many thanks for a wonderful stay, Audra.

The cottage was even cuter in person. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and will return.

This place was perfect for my husband and I over the long weekend of our wedding. It was a nice quiet oasis for the two of us. (I was a little worried that there might be noise from traffic on route 96, but I didn't notice it at all.) The place is just as light as the photographs show. We walked the ~15 minutes down the road to Bet the Farm Winery and didn't have to worry about driving after having a couple glasses in their lovely outdoor seating area.

My wife and I had a great time here! The space was great - clean, bright, and unique. We would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a nice place in the Ithaca area!

This was a perfect getaway cottage for myself and two of my college friends. The large table was perfect for board games and we had a nice fire outside one night. We loved the loft space, but it is open, so sound carries up there if you're trying to sleep when others are still awake. Overall, it's a super cozy space that worked great for us, and it's also so close to downtown Ithaca and Taughannock falls.

This "cottage" was just right for my young adult daughter and myself for the weekend! We loved its uniqueness and found it quite comfortable for the two of us. The recently updated bathroom is not just functional, but very tastefully appointed (that said, a little more light in there would be a plus). We enjoyed the opportunity to stay, and lucked out to discover the cottage was midway between the bridal shower we were attending at Taughannock State Park and the home our friends live in on West Hill in Ithaca. Being located on a main road did lend itself to traffic noise. At this time of year, with windows and doors closed, the noise level was noticeable as background noise, though not unpleasant or difficult to adapt to. This may be different if attempting to enjoy the outdoor areas of the property in more welcoming weather conditions. Overall, we had a pleasant 2-night stay and would recommend this fun and inviting cottage for a couple, or a couple of friends, who want to explore the Ithaca area, as it's a quick drive to downtown, parks, and winery attractions.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Timber Garden Cottage. The space is light and airy with a unique set-up relative to other space at which I've stayed. I needed a place to stay ahead of my wedding that would allow me to buy and prep some food. There was plenty of fridge and counter space and two ovens (one for cooking, one primarily for warming) for prep. The common area was very comfortable with two couches and a large screen TV with Netflix access. There was good water pressure and strong internet access. The property also has a lovely garden, a vine covered seating area, and a firepit for relaxing outside. We had a slight issue with water given some work being performed by the city. This was entirely outside of the control of the property, but the manager was very responsive and helped address the problem immediately. A few minor notes more for awareness than knocks: - the property can be a bit difficult to find at night which was exacerbated by road closures in the area (we arrived close to 10pm) - there is no carpeting in the rental given the former industrial use. Again, not a knock, but the floors can get a little chilly so be sure to pack socks or slippers - the pictures make it seem a bit like there are two separate rooms (or at least that's how I perceived the set-up), but the sleeping area is actually one large loft with a queen bed & single bed in the same space. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Timber Garden Cottage for anyone looking for a spacious place to relax a bit and explore the area!

Great place as a base to explore FLX

A very nice cottage. Everything you need is provided and Audra was a great communicator. All appliances worked well, comfortable beds, good internet, a very relaxing time. A short drive into Ithaca or Watkins Glen. Improvements suggested: Many burned out light bulbs, tons of poison ivy on the property, especially near the fire pit. Be careful if you're as allergic as we are...

Clean and good location

We had a lovely 4 days here, using the home as a jumping off spot to visit Ithaca as well as various state parks in the region. Would recommend the cottage for a couple or maybe a family with one child. The sleeping space is a loft that is fully open to the floor below so take that into consideration. It's got a great style to it - with big wooden beams and a chunky wood staircase up to the loft. The bathroom (as one other reviewer commented) is a little unusual given the nature of being a converted commercial space. The shower is a tub with a ring of shower curtains all around which felt just a little snug, but overall it's a very functional pleasant space.

Audra's place was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was easily accessible from Ithaca and the Cayuga wineries but still felt peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed using the kitchen and the grill during our stay. Didn't have a chance to enjoy the fire pit, so we will save that for next time ;)
