Graduation

It was sweet moment 'cause it was our child's graduation. But also last time at Ithaca. Especially I will miss Wes's place and his beautiful art works. It was second time to stay and it was perfect place for 4 of our family. Large enough to spread out. Has large kitchen to make anything. Only we had problem was cellular reception ' cause we have AT&T. If you have Verizon you will be fine like my mom. Wes was great host. Always ready to help. Thanks Wes for your great place.

Quiet Getaway

This is the perfect place to stay for a quiet getaway. Everything is updated and the house is fully equipped with everything but food for meals. There is plenty of kitchen space to cook a great meal. The owner is easy to reach and very helpful. The house is within 25 minutes of Ithaca and all it has to offer.

Amazing kitchen!

Comfortable cabin, spotlessly clean, kind owners. We came for our daughter’s Cornell graduation . I was able to make two full dinners for seven people in the large and well equipped kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Wes Blauvelt

Wes & Corbit settled at the end of Howland Road in the early 1970's. At that time the road was a narrow one lane dirt road; there was no electricity and they needed to ford a small stream to get to their building site. After retiring in 2013 from Cornell (Corbit) and healthcare (Wes) they built RavenBarn at the entrance to their property. RavenBarn provides a modern apartment for weekend guests and longer visitors, and a ceramic studio where they explore the art of mosaic and tile making.
