We had 3 families stay with adult children and 1 baby. We liked the 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. The communication was great. The checkout process was extremely easy (load dishwasher/take out trash only!). The host let us have a 30 minute late check out without additional fees. The house was clean. However, we hadn't realized when we initially booked that the house is set up as a downstairs & upstairs rental. The door in between the staircase can be opened for large groups. However, that leaves no large kitchen table or large family room space for gathering (this could be improved as there was unused space upstairs-we brought a rectangular folding table so we could all eat together). The house sits on a fairly busy road and there is no view of the lake. The majority of the house has been updated but the windows and doors have not. Some doors don't close completely or were difficult to close. The windows were challenging and had to be opened some nights as there is no central air. If the expectation of large groups is not too spend time with everyone present in 1 location then this house will work as there is plenty of space between the upstairs and downstairs. I also think if the temperature was less than 85ish and you didn't use the upstairs oven, the temperature would be fine as they do have A/C in the main part of the house (just not in bedrooms - they did have very nice fans in the bedrooms). Overall the house worked for us and we had a nice vacation.

We very much enjoyed our long weekend trip to the Ithica area. Our group had multiple adults and a few young children (plus one dog) and the house did not disappoint. The yard is large and great for yard games, the fire pit is nice to relax by at night and there is a lot to do nearby. We made our way to the brewery a few minutes down the road which had good food and was family/dog friendly. There are great waterfalls and hikes in Ithica, which is only about a 10 minute drive. Only thing missing was the lake, which is also not far - there is a small beach with boat rentals at a park a few minutes away. The host was also extremely helpful and responsive, which was appreciated.

We had a great stay at the ridge retreat house. The location is great, the house has great interior and outdoor space and the beds are very comfortable. Our group of 8 had space to spare. The host was very attentive and communication was great!

We booked this house for running the Gorges Half Marathon. It worked perfectly for our group of 9 providing enough space and bathrooms for our diverse group. The back porch was great for outdoor eating, card games and just hanging out nicely accommodating the varied sleeping times of our ‘early to bed, or early to rise’ eclectic group. The firefly’s lit up the backyard every evening and were beautifully entertaining. The fire pit was an added source of joy. Eric was always available, quickly responding to any questions and responding to our needs.
