About this property

Delightful Downtown Ithaca Home & Garden for extended stays

Now available for 30-day (and +) rentals only, our "Ithaca Home & Garden" is a gracious, classically-detailed home with wonderful spaces to celebrate special occasions both indoors and out! The unit is wheel-chair manageable with spacious rooms, hallway and wheel-in shower. High speed internet offers 132 Mbps. Ask us about using the lovely garden to hold a small outdoor BBQ reception or a fun marshmallow roast at the fire pit.
The entire downstairs unit is for your use. It has a private front and back door, as well as French Doors opening to the private formal terrace and garden. Behind the garage is the outdoor dining area with a gas grill, and further back is a sitting area with a fire pit. We want you to enjoy it all!
You may enjoy and use the entire back yard. Tenants upstairs in the house (who have their own private entry and outdoor deck) may use the dining area and the fire pit, but priority always goes to our downstairs guests.
We live nearby and we enjoy meeting our guests! We also respect your privacy and will be available as needed.
Walk to the Farmer's Market, to nearby eateries, coffee shops, and Ithaca Falls. Hike up Cascadilla Creek Trail to Cornell. Or, ride Ithaca Bike Share e-bike up the hill or on the nearby waterfront trail.
Walk, ride or bike. This location is close enough to walk to everything! Bus transport to Cornell and IC is available one block away. Beyond the bike share, rental bikes are available at bicycle shops and at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Get out and peddle!

We enjoyed our stay here. Even though the homes in this area are a little older, this house did not feel "old". The hardwood floors and quality construction and furniture were comfortable and inviting. I'm hoping we can stay here again!

Wonderful stay!

We stayed for almost a week and felt right at home! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was a plus. The neighborhood is very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants, the farmers market, and the Commons. We would definitely stay again if we return to Ithaca!

Weekend Visit

We had a quick, but wonderful trip to Ithaca and Cornell for a concert weekend and could not have had a better trip and stay the home. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful, responsive and accommodating and the home was wonderfully prepared for us. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to stay in Ithaca to consider staying at this home. It was ideally located and in great condition.

About the host

Hosted by Ann and Chad Hoover

Host profile image
We have been caring for this property since 2001 when Chad's Dad, Charles, moved to Ithaca to be near us and his grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

"Grandpa" chose this property because we live nearby. AND, it was for sale!

The corner double lot and roomy house needed a lot of work. Chad went to work to design a home where his Dad could age-in-place. The apartment is mobility-friendly with wide hall ways and doors. The entire apartment was designed to be ADA adaptable. A ramp in the garage services a wheel chair to the back porch and in through the back door. Charles used a walker and later a scooter; however, grab bars were never installed in the bathroom.

What makes this property unique

We love this space and the connection between the house and garden! We worked together to design and create a garden to be enjoyed and used. One of our daughters was married in the garden and another held her rehearsal dinner there. We look forward to living here when we retire!
