Our hosts were great. Instructions were very clear and the accommodations just what we needed. Thank you so very muchfor sharing part of your home with us.
The place was perfect for what we needed and at that price you could not be at it. It was as good as any Hotel room in the area and alot better on price. We will definitely stay there again.
The property was just right for our needs and our host was very accommodating!

Close to Ithica and Cornell this clean, complete basement apartment has everything we needed: fully furnished kitchen, comfortable seating area, Queen bed, and soaking tub. While there is no window, the air conditioner/fan keeps the air moving and fresh. We enjoyed relaxing here after sightseeg and slept soundly in this quiet cacoon.
This apartment has an excellent location. The owners provided very good instructions. It is in a basement and has no windows which is nice for privacy. It is well furnished and very comfortable.

Convenient and comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay here. Kathi was very nice and friendly and the apartment was clean—perfect for the two of us on a four day stay in the area. Just a fifteen minute drive to Ithaca and convenient to many of the state parks and waterfalls and Finger Lakes wine trails.
We’d enjoy staying here again next time we come to Ithaca.

So glad you enjoyed your time in the Finger Lakes area and our apartment worked well for you. Thank you for leaving it so clean. Look forward to seeing you again!
Was a great little place for me , my son and his friend. The owners gave us our privacy, we didn't even meet them, it was like having our own place. Everything was easy, clean and just perfect. Close to Ithica, bike paths, waterfalls etc.
A pretty good place for the price. There was no toilet paper or tissues though restocked, but after a day they brought new stuff down. They were very accommodating for my earlier check in and later check out. Overall a great stay I will consider in the future if I need a longer stay in the area again!
This was a last minute change of plan and Steve was great about fitting me in. Super helpful and friendly. Had everything I needed, was close to Cornell and was very peaceful
Overall nice spot. It’s small but convenient. Perfect spot for 1-2 people to stay. I was there for a baseball tournament with my Son. It was better then staying in a hotel and was probably cheaper. Overall clean. Very accessible. Convenient location.
I would definitely stay there again. Perfect for couples.
We were in town to attend an intensive 5-day course at Tompkins Cortland Community College. This apartment was exactly what we needed: nearby, quiet, comfortable, clean, and well appointed (full kitchen with dishes, pots/pans, etc). Instructions for parking and checking in were clear and communicating with Steve was easy.
My husband and I were visiting our son for Family weekend at college. All hotels were booked from months in advance. I found this gem of a little place and we will be using it every time we visit our son from now on. Apt is clean and perfect size for the 2 of us. Home owners who we met separately were wonderful. Location was perfect. 5 star for sure.
The property was clean. The hot tub was in service and the air conditioner was not cooling the room very well.

Thank you for the info on the air conditioner. Too bad I didn’t know right away as I have another air conditioner in storage which I could’ve switched out very quickly
We were lucky enough to find this apt at the last minute when we needed to attend a family funeral and most hotels/motels were booked due to it being Family Weekend at Cornell University. Steve and Kathi could not have been more kind and accommodating. This was a perfect spot to recharge ourselves--every clean and w/in easy driving distance to Ithaca. The mattress may need a little updating, but this was a minor issue. We will definitely keep this apt in mind the next time we visit. And again, Steve and Kathi were ever so kind.

We are glad the apartment worked well for you in a difficult time. We are in fact in the process of upgrading the mattress as we write this. Hope to see you again
