We were back in Ithaca for just the weekend for our Cornell reunion and stayed here with a group of friends. The house was conveniently located just a few minutes from campus. The host was great at communicating leading up to, during, and after our stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious with a nice backyard and deck. The house is fully equipped and surely would be great for a longer stay. Highly recommend!

The home was beautiful, quiet, nicely appointed, and exactly as promised. The kitchen was great, the bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and convenient. There is a beautiful deck and yard to use but we didnt have time for that due to the wedding consuming our days.The only issue is that the address shows on the wrong road for 2 of the 4 cars that met up there. easy to fix just go to the street that is correct not hard to find.

We stayed at this property for Cornell graduation weekend. We needed room for grandparents, aunt, parents and siblings (7 adults) and this house was perfect! Even the tougher to please older generation commented how happy they were with the beautiful house!The location is very convenient to campus (about 10 minutes) and only 3 minutes from Target and other grocery stores.The house itself sets up great, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and be comfortable. Bedrooms were spacious, bathrooms clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. When the weather cooperated, we enjoyed the deck and yard. When it turned rainy and cold, we snuggled on the couch enjoying the cozy fireplace.The house is very well supplied with everything you need for a comfy stay.The owner was very welcoming, communicative and lovely to deal with.I highly recommend booking this for any visit to Cornell or Ithaca College- but especially for graduation weekend where a nice, quiet space to retreat is so helpful!It was also great to be able to have casual dinners & grill or order in rather than fight the crowds for grad weekend reservations.Plus, the hotels that weekend are so much more expensive than normal and here you get a whole house!

Our family stayed in this beautifully clean, comfortable home for Ithaca College graduation. The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The property is spacious, quiet, and an easy drive to campus and town. Laurie is the perfect host!
