Situated in a quiet spot just blocks from downtown and Cornell's Collegetown, this stunning 1890s mansion was designed by one of Ithaca's most influential architects and served as the home of Ithaca College presidents for over 70 years. It is beautifully maintained and full of unique woodwork and architectural details, featuring a fully equipped modern kitchen and plenty of spaces for socializing or retreating.

Guests have access to the 1st and 2nd floors, while the basement and 3rd floor remain private.

We are on-call to ensure you have the best stay possible while being mindful of your privacy.

Fountain Place is a short walk to Downtown Ithaca, featuring a bustling restaurant scene, award-winning hand-crafted stores, and several popular theaters. The property overlooks the Cascadilla Gorge trail, leading to Cornell University. The area is home to America’s first wine trail, the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, offering wine tours for every taste. We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the area and are here to help you explore the very best the Finger Lakes region has to offer.

Interesting historic home with enough modern updates to please most. Easy walk to plenty of shops and restaurants. Useful kitchen for eat-in breakfasts or dinners. Easy drive to numerous gorges/falls. Very farm to table vibe in the town…

Perfect property for a bunch of Cornell graduates in their 40s. Plenty of room and ample bathrooms - perfect in every way and an easy walk to both the commons and college town. It will be the top location of choice for years to come.

A perfect week in the perfect house for a family reunion. We grew up in Ithaca and then moved away. It was fun to share our home town with our families while staying at a fantastic home base

The house was perfect for hanging out while visiting our students. A nice backyard to grill and tons of common space. The only awkward part was the bathroom situation as only 2 of seven rooms have bathrooms and the rest share one. In that one bathroom is a old fashioned tub with only a hand shower. Other than that perfect spot !
