The Tower House Victorian Mansion
About this house rental
The Tower House is a beautiful old family home and grounds, a perfect base for exploring the Finger Lakes as well as a great space for entertaining and events. There is a gourmet kitchen with casual dining spaces as well as a formal dining room that seats 12. The main floor has a formal entry from the gardens as well as an informal entry from the yard to the mudroom and laundry. There are two covered porches perfect for morning coffee with the deer and birds or an evening cocktail watching fireflies. The large common rooms both upstairs and downstairs give you plenty of room to spread out or gather, all with stunning views day and night out of the floor to ceiling windows. The wood stove in one of the downstairs sitting rooms is super cozy on snowy nights and the downstairs queen bedroom with a nearby half bath is nice for guests who prefer no stairs. The upper floor opens onto another spacious sitting room, along with 3 large bedrooms. Two of the rooms have king beds, one has a queen and there are two full baths (one with a jetted soaking tub large enough for two). The upstairs sitting room has a tv and a board game space, as well as extra sleeping space if needed. There is a full sized day bed in a charming nook at the base of the tower that converts to another king sized bed when needed and has a privacy curtain separating it from the rest of the upstairs that tucks away when not needed. The grounds include ample parking, a stone patio off one of the porches, an outside eating area with bbq, two firepits with plenty of wood along with spacious yards and gardens to explore. There are views across the lake to Cornell and Ithaca College. The waterfront recreation path and Cass Park with the Children's Garden and sports center are a 15 min walk, as are many downtown Ithaca destinations. The house is located on the Cayuga Lake Wine trail and a short drive to Taughannock Falls State Park, Trumansburg and countless other waterfalls, hikes and amazing local restaurants. We have an Empire Pass at the house for guests use which covers parking and entry to the local state parks, which we hope encourages everyone to get out and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Finger Lakes! We are open to stays greater than 30 days and have special pricing to reflect that, please contact owners for more information. The entire main house and grounds are yours for your stay. The basement is a separate apartment with a lovely long term renter and her cat Jello. She has her own entrance and parking and is quite used to having guests upstairs.

We rented this amazing property for our daughter's wedding at Cornell. It was a perfect spot for staging all of the weekend's activities. The hosts were awesome and helped us have a truly one in a lifetime experience! We can't recommend the property enough if you are getting together with family and/or friends! Can't wait to get back!
Thank you Nicole & Jon!

The home is very much as described, plenty of room - inside and out. Absolutely clean, everything we needed and more. Nicole couldn't have been more responsive on our questions. Wish we didn't have such a busy schedule while staying for the weekend so we could have enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and enjoyed the view even more. Truly a wonderful stay.

Absolutely Beautiful Tower Mansion!!!
This home was perfect for our extended summer vacation. We felt right at home in this very large and elegant home. Nicole was very attentive answering any questions we had as well as very helpful with recommendations. Over the two weeks several of our family visited for a night or two and there was plenty of room and many beautifully appointed bedrooms to accommodate everyone. The outdoor entertaining areas are plentiful and perfect for enjoying the surrounding nature. The home is perfectly located as a home base to explore all the surrounding area has to offer. We highly recommend this beautiful property and hope to return soon!
