So happy that you could relax in the garden during a (sometimes stressful!) wedding weekend! We are grateful to be located adjacent to the state park and close to the Inn at Taughannock. We host many wedding guests here!

Great location. We love to hike through all the local gorges, especially Taughannock Falls. Nearby wineries. Back yard was spectacular with outdoor dining table, grill, fire pit, very private with beautiful woods and flowers.

This was a nice place to stay for college move-in weekend. The house was easy to find and very spacious. It was quiet and relaxing. One item to note is that there were limited grocery and dining options in the immediate area, especially during college move-in weekend. There were many more options in Ithaca, about a 15-20 minute drive.

The cottage was so quaint and the garden was beautiful. Beds were comfy, even the pullout sofa! It was unusually well stocked with the basics, including spices, etc. All the baby essentials were great to have as we were traveling from Wisconsin. My only suggestion is to upgrade the bath towels.

Anne’s cottage is truly magical we had an amazing stay, the location, the serenity and the beautiful setting all added to the feeling of being somewhere truly special. It was our daughter’s wedding and I can’t imagine having stayed anywhere else to celebrate our event which was down the road at camp comstock which is another amazing venue. Our week there was truly special and we hope to go back soon.

Nice location across from Taughannock Falls State Park and 10-20 min away from Ithaca attractions. Full kitchen and beautiful tables both inside and out made eating in worth it! Plenty of games and toys to provide toddlers with entertainment. The hosts were very pleasant and went above and beyond to assist us with any questions or concerns we had!

Spacious and Comfortable in a Great Location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage (really, more like a cozy 3 bedroom house) was clean and well-stocked with dishes, cooking tools, sheets and blankets. The location was excellent, a short drive to Ithaca and right next door to beautiful nature (lake, falls, forest).

We are so pleased that you enjoyed our home and the proximity to Cayuga Lake and Taughannock State Park. We love to take our bicycles for a ride, then down to the lake for a swim to cool off. Come again soon! ~ Ann

Country Cottage was great

We had an event at a place in Trumansburg so we decided to find a place close to spend the weekend. The cottage was perfect, owners were very communicative, place was clean and well stocked, and it’s in a very convenient location. Private and relaxing atmosphere, would highly recommend!

Great place!

We enjoyed this property, very nice hosts and beautiful landscaping! Great location. The house had a strong odor of mildew or must that our family found off putting. Otherwise, we had a great time!

Response from VrboOwner on 30 September 2024
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay despite the perception of a musty odor. It's a 150 year-old house with a stone foundation, so when it rains as much as it did this summer, the structure gets damp. We have provided AC units and moisture absorber boxes throughout the house to mitigate dampness as much as possible. We will continue to look for other ways to avoid this issue.

A great property!

Had a wonderful weekend with some friends at the home. It's got lots of privacy, a beautiful yard and the home is warm and inviting. ACs in every bedroom ensured it was very cool, even in July! We'll definitely book the place again next time we're headed to Ithaca :)
