The cottage was very clean, stocked with goodies (wine, water, milk, orange juice, fruit, soda, yogurt), and all the little touches considered. Janelle emailed me throughout the stay to ensure everything was working out. We really enjoyed our week-long stay here and appreciate the clean, well-thought-out accommodations and extra goodies. We booked another week in a few months to visit our son. We also had little baby frogs welcome us each morning at the stairs as we departed.

Had a great stay at the cottage in the woods! Clean, cute and cozy! Janelle and Aaron were so easy to communicate with and provided some lovely amenities including coffee, wine, snacks and a bowl of fruit! Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Aaron and Janelle could not be better hosts. Every detail and appointment was perfect. The wooded setting allows for maximum solitude, and a setting for rest and relaxation. Fresh flowers, a wonderful bottle of wine, coffee extraordinaire, and so much more.
We were 5 minutes from Cornell, 10 minutes from downtown Ithaca, and 15 minutes from Ithaca College. If we could give this property and the hosts 15 stars we would.

My wife and I stayed at this property to celebrate her 40th birthday in Ithaca. The cottage was very comfortable and Janelle and Aaron provided many thoughtful amenities to make our stay even more comfortable- truly above and beyond. The location is outside of the bustle of downtown Ithaca, but within 15 minutes of anything there. We were able to easily drive to the Cayuga Wine Trail, Cortland, and 6 different waterfalls in the area. I highly recommend this property to anyone. Thanks Janelle and Aaron for your hospitality!

This home is perfect for a relaxing get away, nestled in the woods with all the necessary comforts. The house itself is beautiful with a cozy living room and nice kitchen equipped with the works. My wife and I made delicious lattes with the espresso machine and enjoyed them on the peaceful deck overlooking trees. The bed is very comfortable with all the extra blankets you might need. All the little touches, such as a bottle of wine, Pellegrino, and fruit bowl made the stay extra special. And, you're just a ten minute drive to Cornell/Ithaca and all the fun things to do in town. We are booking again ASAP!! Highly highly recommend.

Perfect spot -- secluded yet near everything
I've been coming to Ithaca for about 15 years to see family and due to COVID decided to rent a separate place for this family visit. This was an ideal spot; in the woods, feels remote but ten minutes from downtown Ithaca. Well equipped, clean, lovingly decorated with comfortable furniture and basic provisions were provided (great coffee!). The deck was perfect for having my small family over (3 people) for dinner; my niece loved the deck for her remote learning (good internet) and I loved the chimnea/fire pit on the rear deck. It was a very relaxing time, and I hope to return on my next annual trip to Ithaca.

Fall in Ithaca
Janelle and Aaron have thought of everything to make sure your stay is comfortable. They left goodies for us in the fridge, including wine and fruit. Also provided great suggestions for the location. The cabin was perfect. We enjoyed a nice fire on the deck after a day of exploring. Aaron even gave us some of their homemade syrup. Would highly recommend this property. Janelle and Aaron, thanks for the hospitality.

GORGEOUS, clean, quiet haven in the woods--close to Cornell
Why would anyone ever want to stay in a hotel in Ithaca when they could stay in this gorgeous, well-appointed cottage in the woods? Beautiful design and such lovely personal touches--the art, the tulips, the bottle of wine and bowl of fruit--and such a beautiful design. Janelle and Aaron and baby Katherine couldn't have been more welcoming, generous, and accommodating. I was in town to give a talk at Cornell, and this place was just down the road and a haven to come back to (would be perfect for parents visiting a student at Cornell or Ithaca). Great place for work too--high speed internet. It was snowy and cold, but the cabin was cozy, warm, and so clean, and Aaron kept the driveway plowed. I worked in the travel industry for 20+ years and have seen many wonderful places, and this was one of my favorites. I can't wait to return.

Excellent clean comfortable retreat
Thanks so much Janelle and Aaron. Your cottage is beautiful and far exceeded our expectations. It has been so nice spending time here and having our family together.

Perfect Nature Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a week and loved everything that Janelle and Aaron did to make our stay perfect! Both patios are great for enjoying the outdoors (one has a grill, the other a chimenea) and the cottage was just the right size for the two of us. We also loved the coffee and espresso options in the morning! The location is nicely nestled in the forest, but not too far from downtown Ithaca and other Finger Lakes attractions.

Delightful!
Janelle and Aaron have created a very relaxing place in the woods near Ithaca. The Cottage includes everything a guest needs (or might have forgotten). Thanks so much for the warm welcome and the extra touches (chardonnay, sunflowers). Stay here if you want to sleep with the windows open and only hear owls during the night.

Secluded serenity
Our visit to Janelle and Aaron's cottage was one of the most delightful VRBO stays we have enjoyed. Tucked deep in the woods, but only minutes from downtown Ithaca and Cornell, the cottage is beautifully and comfortably decorated in Ikea-meets-Pottery Barn style, creating a peaceful, zen-like ambiance. No detail was overlooked; the espresso machine was loaded with beans, the refrigerator was fully stocked with yogurt, still and sparkling water, milk and juice, even a bottle of Finger Lakes chardonnay! A large bowl of fresh fruit and a vase of fresh tulips made us feel completely pampered! Aaron and Janelle were so kind and thoughtful and our stay so relaxing after the stress of college move-in, we are cancelling our parents' weekend hotel reservations and coming back to the cottage instead! I hope it will be our go-to getaway throughout our daughter's four years at Cornell. Thank you, Janelle and Aaron!

Fantastic location and ideal setting!!
We had a fantastic time in Ithaca! The cabin/cottage is very quiet and peaceful. We were lucky enough to see a deer and hear an owl! Very conveniently located with nothing more than 20-30 minutes away (lots to do and see only travelling 5-10 minutes though). The cabin/cottage is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips! Janelle and Aaron are exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay! Their suggestions of places to visit was very helpful and we loved all of their recommendations! We enjoyed having a coffee on the deck in the morning and a fire in the evening. Our son loved riding his bike around as well exploring in the woods for caterpillars and salamanders!
We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Cozy forest abode
Janelle and Aaron's adorable home was perfect for a weekend getaway for four friends. The cabin was beautifully decorated, clean, and Janelle was even nice enough to have the pull out couch made up for us when we arrived (super comfortable by the way!) The back deck and chiminea were lovely for a hanging out at the house on a nice night. The location was also great, only about ten minutes from the commons. We would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic, private, clean and comfortably!
Fantastic, private, clean and comfortably cabin/cottage in the woods. Janelle and her husband Aaron are very kind and welcoming. There was so many great things to do, much of which was only 15-20 minutes away by vehicle. This is the perfect place to stay if interested in mountain biking at Shindagin Hollow, road riding (great roads right at the private driveway), visiting Cornell and Ithaca. Aaron and Janelle gave us great dining and recreation recommendations. We could not have been more pleased with the cottage, our hosts, and our weeklong stay. We'll be back!

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location! Peaceful and convenient to local attractions.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods in Ithaca. We arrived and the cabin was clean, comfortable and stocked with coffee, waters, and a few other essentials. The cabin is in a great location, convenient to Cornell and downtown Ithaca, but still quiet and secluded. There are several seating areas outside, one with a fireplace. The kids enjoyed the pullout sofa and the master suite was comfortable and beautiful. There was tons of space for all of our junk too. I can’t recommend this place enough. Enjoy!
