We loved this house. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs — they could be outside off-leash without us worrying. The place was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and there were fresh flowers out, which was a nice touch. The whole house was comfortable and easy to settle into. Our host was extremely helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling with dogs.

My wife and I and our children had a fantastic stay at the paddock house in Fall Creek. This older house had wonderful charm. It was centrally located for the wedding event and wedding festivities throughout the weekend. We brought our bicycles to move about but easily walkable to the downtown area, the large pavilion and the farmers market and many other nearby places. It is also very close to the cascadilla waterfall hike which is less than a mile away. Overall very positive experience. Check in process was easy with self checking and a responsive communicative host.

The host was very attentive and made check in and out an ease. It was close to Cornell and downtown. Walkable to lots of things including a waterfall. WiFi was good for working (if need). Only down side was one small bathroom, but was typical of that type of house. Would return!

Such an amazing home with such a kind host! It is very close to downtown, a sweet quiet neighborhood and so warm and comfortable, which is so important in the wintery days of March in Ithaca! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would love to stay again when we get to visit our kid in college another time. Thanks!

This is a cute and comfortable house. Michael the host was a great communicator and made the process very easy. The beds were comfortable, the showers were hot and the location excellent. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some home cooked meals. Parking was so convenient with a covered driveway just next to the house. One thing I wanted to point out is that we didn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops for checkout. Sometimes I feel like I am doing a lot of the "cleaning" but not here. We felt very taken care of. Highly recommend staying here and Ithaca is an adorable town.

We enjoyed staying in this nicely kept home with our family. The house was very comfortable. Michael, the host, was helpful in a nice low key and friendly way. Our ambitious Thanksgiving cooking plans strained the vintage kitchen but we pulled it off, and brought delicious food to our big family gathering. One day we had 2 inches of snow and blue sky, and savored our coffee in the morning looking out the windows. Definitely had a nice time.

Great rental property

Paddock House is an amazing rental property in the heart of Ithaca. Perfect neighborhood accessible to most of the key attractions. Ithaca falls is a few minutes walk and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property.Though the house is old but it was maintained in a great condition, all rooms were clean and appreciate the owners for taking good care. We would consider this property if we have to come back to Ithaca.

This is a Whole House Rental with Three (3) Bedrooms and a Small, Full Bathroom Upstairs. Each Bedroom has a Small A/C Window Unit and Large Closets. There is a Full Kitchen, Living Room (with a Small A/C Window Unit) and a Dining Room. There is No Downstairs 1/2 Bathroom (for Guests or Handicapped). There is also No Washer or Dryer but there is a Laundry Mat three blocks away. The Water Pressure is Weak but Manageable. This is an Older Home and has a Damp Oder Throughout (if you have allergies).The Backyard is Fenced but has some Gaps; Check before you let your Dog out. There is also a Ramp, and Steps, leading up to an Enclosed Back Porch that is perfect for Safe Bike Storage with Electrical Outlets. However, the Ramp and Steps have Seasonal Mold Growing on the Carpet Covering that is Slippery; Be Careful when Using.The Neighborhood is Really Good for Biking or Walking Dogs. You can Easily Bike to Cayuga Waterfront Trail, Black Diamond Trail and the Farmer's Market via Dey St. It is also Walking Distance to Ithaca Falls, Coffee Shop, Bar, and Restaurant.NOTE: Wheelchair Accessibility...While there is a wheelchair ramp up to the back porch, it is slippery with seasonal mold. There is no downstairs bedroom but you could sleep on the sofa. However, there is NO downstairs bathroom or half bath. I would not consider this house functional for a person in a wheelchair or using a walker.

Sorry for the weather-related discomfort during your stay. Paddock House has pretty good climate controls, however two factors contributed to your discomfort. One was not keeping the house closed-up, particular the back doors and two was deploying three de-humidfiers located in the rear annex, the dining room window and the upstairs closet. For my cleaning crew, I activated these appliances (see attached pictures) and found comfort restored in about an hour: relative humidity declined from 77% to 66%. I hope to be in better communication with my future guests! Michael C Paddock House Owner & Host

Great Rental + Host, Phenomenal Location

We loved our stay. Michael was a great host - he was helpfully communicative, and everything was extremely clean and prepared. The home was perfect for our group of 3. The location was phenomenal, quiet and private but within a 5 min drive or 20 min walk of both downtown and Cornell university. Being a few streets away from the beautiful fall creek gorge and falls was an additional perk! I would absolutely rent this property again in the future.

Perfect spot for an Ithaca getaway

Quaint 1920's Ithaca home with lots of original charm. Very thoughtfully appointed. Host is great - communicative, responsive, kind. Easy walk to coffee, food, and the falls. There is a ramp leading out to the backyard which was great for our elderly dog. We stayed there with our 4yr old son and he had a blast; he's still talking about "the vacation house" days later.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Paddock house! Michael has really taken the time to think of everything that you might need during your stay and was very kind and accommodating. We ended up checking out an hour late because we had left our car at the wedding venue we attended and Michael was very kind about us leaving late. (sorry again Michael!)We lived in Ithaca for four years and have stayed in quite a few vacation rentals when we come back to visit, but this one really stands out! The rental was the fenced in yard for the dogs. The backyard is huge and secure and our dogs had so much fun running laps.
