For the most part my family and l enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house appeared clean but my daughter and son suffered severe allergies from the layer of dust under furniture and behind beds. Bedroom rugs smell old and musty. That said, the kitchen and bathroom were clean. Cottage has great potential, just needs some TLC and a good vacuuming.

We were 1 minute from beach area of lake, easy 9 min drive to center of town, kids had awesome time in yard, various lawn games on site, owner very accommodating with any questions we had. Whenever will go to Ithica area coming back if available.

The Cottage was perfect! From booking to check out, everything we needed while visiting family in Ithaca. Ann and Chad were awesome hosts. We will be back.

Excellent property. Older building but well maintained. Ann was very responsive to our requests. Comfortable beds. Beautiful backyard and kitchen more than adequate. We were there for our daughter’s wedding and the proximity to the venue (2 miles) was a key feature. Only one negative and that is the property fronts busy Highway 89 with a 55 mph speed limit. Traffic noise was not too bad but the driveway is not easy to see and you’ll get lots of honks from following traffic as you signal and brake for the driveway. Entering the driveway with following traffic is a challenge so slow and signal early. And ignore the honking.

We needed a central location for our small family to gather for Thanksgiving. The cottage was the perfect fit, both in terms of location and the amenities available.

Just as described on VRBO. This lovely home was clean and cozy and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend in Ithaca. We were visiting our son and his roommates who are students at Cornell. The fully stocked kitchen and large dining area with picture window was a blessing as it rained ALOT so we stayed in mostly and just enjoyed each other’s company. Would definitely recommend!

Visited with a few friends and had a great stay - great living spaces inside and a gorgeous outdoor area as well.

Owners were very responsive to any questions.

The location was great. It is a quaint house with a farm-house vibe, but a little musty. The dining room is large with a new table and chairs for a large group. We enjoyed the large picture window that looked out to the garden and back lawn. The owners were very good communicators and very attentive. Check in was super easy. The beds were very comfortable and had lots of pillows. The kitchen appliances were very good, but the cupboards and cookware were a little tired. The internet worked great. This is a great house for a pretty large family group.

Very family friendly home. So nice to have a high chair, PAC and Play, toys and back yard. Close drive to State Park and Nature Center.

Cottage was lovely and perfect amount of space for our family. It was comfortable, clean and quiet. Lovely yard and fun for the kids to see the many animals in the morning. Short drive to Ithaca and area parks.

Perfect for my family that enjoys outdoor activity. Tranquil backyard with wildlife. Attentive and responsive hosts. A lovely week at a great place.

This was a trip back to Ithaca, haven’t been in a few years. It was great to hike, see campus, Ithaca beer co, visit Thirstyowl and enjoy downtown! The property was exactly what we needed for 2 families. Had plenty of space inside and out enjoyed a BBQ and a night by the fire pit to wrap up the day.

We had a wonderful time at Ann and Chad’s house. The grounds are beautiful and my 4 year old grand daughter enjoyed exploring the creek.

This quaint home is located right on the main road along Cayuga Lake just a quarter mile from Taughannock State Park and Waterfalls. Trumansburgh is just around the corner for food and shopping, and despite being on a main road, there is very little traffic at night and easily negotiated during the day. The outdoor fire pit and patio are super comforable and welcoming. Accommodations include two bedrooms downstairs with a full bath in the hall, and another bedroom on the second floor. There are also two twin beds on the staircase landing that has a door and privacy shutters. The smaller bathroom is located at the bottom of the stairs in the kitchen. Our check in code was not programmed into the door lock,, but a quick call to Ann, and she was able to give us the old code.. There r a lot of ants around the kitchen,, but all else was clean and very well maintained...in all honesty, this house is located adjacent to the state park, so a few ants are no surprise.. Neither was the baby bunny who spent his mornings eating grass on the patio.. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We really enjoyed the property.

A great spot for a family gathering, comfortable home, well equipped kitchen for a family of cooks, and convenient to vineyards and beautiful parks.

This house was charming. My family was in town for my son's graduation and we all loved the property. The house was beautiful and quaint. Waking up with coffee and watching the birds and chipmunks in the yard was very relaxing. We were only a short drive to Ithaca and the drive into town was less than 10 minutes. Would absolutely stay here again.
