The perfect getaway

This cabin was comfortable and super hospitable. Set in a quiet little place, surrounded by flowers with a pond to view off the front porch, this getaway was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy a much needed break. It is obvious the owner has taken pride and care to decorate and maintain this little gem of a house. Just beautiful!

Beautiful Cottage

Upon arrival I noticed the front porch with the vines. Beautiful I thought! The weather wasn’t that great. But walking into the cottage made it all seem better. The beautiful decor and how the cottage was laid out is beautiful! We enjoyed our stay. I would come back again if I was ever in the area. Thank you Sue

Great place for a retreat from your busy life

This is a great little place, on quiet country road. It was clean with lots of amenities and comfortable beds and pillows - we felt right at home. It a short distance from Ithaca for day trip or to grab some dinner out. Sue was responsive to requests and made check-in and check-out very easy. I would definitely book again.

Cozy Cabin Weekend

We spent the weekend celebrating Valentine's in this snowy cabin getaway. It is even more comfy and cozy than the pictures make it look. The cabin was absolutely stocked with everything we could ever need with very clear instructions left by Sue. We will definitely be revisiting.

Ideal secluded cottage near Ithaca

The cottage was perfect for our trip and stay. Exactly as described. Clean, rustic and a bit eclectic in style. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. 30 minute drive to all the sites in Ithaca. We’ll probably be back.
