About the host
Hosted by Inez Vermaas - Owner
I was born in the Netherlands and lived in England and South Africa before moving to the USA in 2006. I studied biodynamic agriculture and specialized in cheese making.
I have been living in the Finger Lakes since June 2013 and love the wide variety of activities that this region has to offer.
I met Tom soon after moving here. He was born in Interlaken on Cayuga Lake, studied physical education and lived in 10 different states for over 30 years until he returned to the Finger Lakes in 2007.
Is he happy to be back home? "Yes, there is no place like it!!"
We enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis and are happy to be able to share this wealth with other people.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property which dates from 1846 the moment we saw it on line. We love the beautiful peaceful surroundings and the close proximity to everything this area has to offer. Ithaca has an international vibe due to Cornell and Ithaca College and there are sooo many things to do and enjoy in the local surroundings!!
What makes this property unique
A GREAT spot for nature lovers:We are surrounded by nature and keep seeing new bird species and other wild life.
We have turned 5 acres of our property into a MONARCH BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY which can be seen and visited from the cottage. During the month of July the field is lit up by millions of fire flies, a light show which rivals the distant city lights of Ithaca!
We live in the Manor House which is also situated on this property. It dates from 1846 and we have turned it into a small B&B offering two double rooms. So if you want to bring more friends and/or family we can put them up…..
