Very cute and relaxing spot! The view is incredible, and Tia is a wonderful host. We will be back!

Great waterfall view and easy access to town

What an excellent location. We were able to walk to many of the things we love to do in Ithaca. The backyard waterfall was AMAZING! Thank you!

We chose this property because the location near the gorge and Ithaca Falls looked beautiful in the listing, and the natural setting really is stunning. The waterfall and wooded area behind the house are genuinely lovely.One important clarification for future guests: the listing describes this as a “cottage,” but it is not a standalone cottage. It is actually a small apartment attached to a much larger house with other units.The home itself was built in 1955, and it’s clear that at one time it must have been a well-cared-for property. Given the beautiful location and character of the structure, it’s honestly sad to see the condition it is now in.From what we could see, it appears that very little—if anything—has been updated since the home was purchased. The windows, cabinetry, and many of the finishes all appear to date back to the original construction period in the 1950s.The main house and upstairs unit appear to be in significant disrepair. Looking through the windows of the other units, we could see extensive dark mold growth covering large areas of the walls and ceilings, and sections of flooring appear to have been removed. The exterior of the building also shows clear signs of long-term deterioration.Inside the apartment we rented there was a persistent mold smell, and some of the ceiling tiles show spotting consistent with moisture damage or mold growth. Given the visible condition of the rest of the structure, it made us uncomfortable about the air quality
