Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Homey
The place was comfortable and spacious. Also, the hosts were very nice. We would highly recommend this place.
Great place to stay.
Huge apartment, the entire basement of the house. Bed is super comfortable. Use of a pool! Nice owners. Someone noted lack of bedroom plugs. There is a power strip next to the bed, so not an issue any more. The only thing to note is that this is a daylight basement, and there is a damp smell. Humidifiers are running, but the smell is definitely there. We were not bothered, but this could be an issue for some.
Ellis Haven Rocks!
I rented this apt. for my elderly mom and my brother each of whom have their own physical challenges. Sherri could not have been more gracious. My mom (who had never stayed at a Homeaway property) loved meeting Sherri and truly appreciated the accommodations.
Wonderful!
We had a wonderful stay at Ellis Haven! Sherri and her family are so friendly and responsive. My kids had a blast in the pool and playing basketball. The living space was plenty big enough for our family of four and the location was perfect for visiting numerous state parks in the area. I'd highly recommend Ellis Haven!
Beautiful!
An amazing setting. Sherri and Mike are wonderful hosts.
Convenient
The owners live above and are very friendly and accommodating while giving you your privacy. It's only about 4 minutes from Ithaca College where the convention was hosted. Beautiful property and the pool is a bonus if it's swimming weather. As a lower level apt. there is a slight odor of dampness, if you're sensitive to that, otherwise it easily fades. Windows and doors can open to the outside and a beautiful little garden. Kitchen and bath are nicely supplied. Main bed is very comfortable - I suspect the other is as well. 3-pronged sockets can be found, but not very convenient. I had a very pleasant stay and am happy to recommend it.
