We loved our stay in Ithaca! The house was as advertised. We had a blast cooking in the beautiful kitchen and relaxing in the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!
Great place to stay for a family with young children. Not downtown, but this is a good thing, as it is super close to where you want to be but without the hassle of parking or traffic. The house is clean and well stocked with what you need for an extended stay. The hot tub is just a nice bonus for when the kids go to sleep. We'll definitely be staying here again next time we're in town.

We had a wonderful stay here this winter! We were looking for a getaway for a visit among friends and this was a sweet, comfortable and ideally located spot to stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and the living room was cozy and well-appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and we so enjoyed watching the birds migrating overhead. The location is an easy ride to downtown, wineries, and getaways to local trails and natural sites.
The Floral St home was perfect for our family trip to Ithaca! Excellent location to everything, the river, pathway, all-things Ithaca and Cornell! Loved the hottub and sunrise river view. The house had all the amenities we needed, was clean and comfortable. Nice large kitchen table and spaced living room. Excellent host communication and easy check in/out process! We hope to come back!
We had a number of family members coming to join us for Cornell football game so our typical hotel stay wouldn’t work this time. This property met our needs perfectly. The house was very clean and neat, and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend this property.

Host interaction was great. Certain things could be improved like the bedding quality and amount and quality of towels. Also there was a strong smell of mold or must in the house. Overall the house was clean.

Best sleep ever! The mattress, pillows, and sheets literally made me dream about checking the brand! I woke up so rested and ready for our vacation! The location was one mile from food and bars. The parking was a struggle for my big truck but we made it work. Only a slight incline walk to the house from the parking lot. Sunrise views and running path my the river were amazing! Would stay again!
