About this cottage rental

Located in Ithaca, this attractive cottage for $135 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This cozy cottage, with it's rustic charm will instantly make you feel like you have taken a step back in time to a simpler, quieter pace of life. The cottage is attached to a multi family home, which is two separate apartments, one apartment upstairs and one downstairs. The two main apartments are vacant. Should you book with us, the entire back cottage would be all to you, there is no access to the main home. The cottage has a private entrance (including additional private bedroom entrance!) and yard and plenty of parking. The BEST part is the gorgeous waterfall just outside and the breathtaking views of Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and parks below. The cottage has a master bedroom (two stairs up from living room) with a queen-size bed and a big window overlooking your very own waterfall! Please note: for very tall persons (6ft+) the ceiling in the bedroom is lower than most. The front door enters (about five steps up) into a living room with plenty of natural light and scenery. Two futons can become full-size beds perfect for a couple or several kids. The dining nook can also be enlarged by adding leaves to the table to seat up to 6. Comes with a full kitchen with stocked refrigerator and all the needed appliances providing all the convenience of home. A full bath with a shower/tub. Guest have their own private yard right next to the backyard waterfall. Lock box is found mounted on the porch and the code will be inside your booking details after you book. It includes lots of information for your stay so please take a look. If you will be coming in after dark we will be happy to leave the porch light on for you. Plenty of space all around! Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Only a mile from downtown yet secluded alongside 50 acres of woods overlooking Cayuga Lake. Other things to note: Please note we are only 1 mile from downtown, although on a quiet cul-de-sac, butted up against acres and acres of woods, yet it is still a residential area. If you are looking for total seclusion you will need to look further out of town. Rather than list numerous rules, we simply expect guests to leave the cottage as you found it. That is- garbage bagged up and taken out, dishes done, and everything picked up and tidied. No need to make the bed before you check out as we will be stripping it anyway. Make yourself at home! But please respect the space, your neighbors, and each other :) Plenty of parking, space to walk, and an organic garden next door. You have your own grassy yard outside the cottage. You can sit and enjoy a picnic just outside next to our very own waterfall. (Listed in Ithaca's Must-See Guide) House manual: There are 50 acres of woods a short walk from the cottage with a path down to the Black Diamond Trail, that guest are welcome to explore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the interior of the cottage there is a large storage closet off the living room in which you will find extra dining room chairs, a mattress topper for the large futon, a pack-n-play, and booster seat. In the bedroom closet, you will find plenty of extra bedding for the futons or bed, in the three drawer cabinets. In the bedroom closet as well, upper shelf, you will find lots of extra pillows for the futons. In the kitchen there are pots and pans stored in the cabinet next to the stove, as well as frying pans, cutting board, and cookie sheet in the lower cabinet. Tea kettle is in the cabinet above the oven, and toaster on top of fridge. Microwavable dishes are in the cabinet above the microwave. The TV is a Roku tv with access to Netflix as well as many free channels for your enjoyment. Please keep in mind, it is a family network so keep content appropriate. We also have an outdoor fire pit and grill for your use. It is our goal that your visit at our Williams Glen Cottage Get Away be a most pleasant and relaxing stay, we will go out of our way to make that goal a reality for you and hope you will visit often. Warm Regards, Tia The Management

I recently stayed at this VRBO listing and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The coziness of the cabin, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty made for a perfect relaxing getaway. The bed was so comfortable and the fireplace really added to the cozy atmosphere. While we enjoyed staying in and chilling out, we also appreciated the convenience of having everything we needed close by. When we decided to venture out to eat, restaurants and conveniences were just a short distance away. I highly recommend this VRBO listing to anyone looking for comfort and convenience in a beautiful natural setting.

Between the lake views, the backyard waterfall and the close proximity to downtown Ithaca as well as great hiking, this Vrbo was perfect. Thank you !! We'll definitely be back !!

This is the most perfect location! Really secluded with your own drive, entrance and waterfall and lake views, but only a 10 minute drive to downtown Ithaca. The property was really comfortable and cosy and really clean. It's really close to both Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen, which are both a must! Cornell is also the most beautiful campus I have seen! I would 100% recommend and I am already dreaming of visiting again!

The two of us and our dog were cozy and comfortable in this 2 room cabin. it was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable. There are steps into the cabin and up into the bedroom so someone with mobility issues might have a hard time. The area felt safe. 10-15 minutes to many hiking trails with waterfalls. 10 minutes to the center of town with shopping and restaurants. 11 wineries with the farthest being 35 minutes away. There are also museums for adults and children. We had only 2 days to explore the area but we will definitely return to the area and rent this cabin again.

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay that feasts the eyes as soon as you look out the window, this is it. If you are looking for luxury and amenities, this is not the place for you. My husband and our 2 dogs enjoyed it very much, getting away from it all is what we were looking for.

Overall just perfect location and absolutely loved the sound of the waterfall outside the bedroom window Adequate, Comfortable, Secluded, Clean Excellent little kitchen with all supplies you could ever need The bathroom was very small for average sized people…however the shower was nice and plenty of towels and amenities There are 2 steps up /down to the bedroom Which was fine but could be hazardous if need to use the restroom in the middle of night Glad I brought a nightlight There are 3 steps into the rental so again be aware of this as you carry in luggage and bags My only recommendation is to have the patio area cleaned and set up with table and chairs that are clean would have been nice as it is right by the waterfall Very peaceful and relaxing…enjoyed our stay
