Great Family Location

Everything was clean and as listed. The beds, pillows and linens were comfy. Getting out by 10 am was a little rushed, 11 would be a less hectic way to end a fabulous trip. We all said we would stay there again. Thank you!

Perfect Location

We enjoyed the location which was close to several parks and waterfalls. We also enjoyed seeing the wildlife - deer, rabbits and chipmunks. It felt like a home away from home where we could relax after a hectic day visiting family and friends in the area.

Fall getaway

We set out for a laid back long weekend and that’s what we got. The fall colors cooperated, we hiked , visited the Farmers market and had great food and cocktails. The house allowed us to be close to things but also out away from the hustle of the main city.

Lovely & cozy home

Everything about this house was great! The house was clean, comfortable & nicely furnished. Location is just 10 min from downtown Ithaca (many good restaurants & shops) & nearby hiking trails. Our dog also loved exploring the large front & backyard (including a fire pit & grill)…we had a fantastic stay & would definitely rent this property again.

Peaceful Country Vacation Home

This farmhouse is in a peaceful, quiet country setting where you can see bunnies in the backyard and deer in the fields. It is clean and spacious, and well-appointed. Though the farm feels remote when you are there, you are actually close to all that Ithaca has to offer. It is close to two universities and downtown, as well as all of the favorite gorge hiking trails, parks, and lakefront. It is also a reasonable ride to renowned Finger Lakes Wineries. The ideal location for all the area has to offer!

Beautiful and cozy home in a peaceful oasis

I could absolutely live in this house. It’s so beautiful, well-decorated, and cozy. You truly feel like you’re in the country, yet downtown and the city core are just a few miles away. Seeing rabbits in the backyard was pretty cool! And relaxing at night on the comfy couch watching outside and listening to the peace and quiet after work was just wonderful. My parents and our dogs loved it too. Kristina is an awesome host, and her communication and kindness did not go unnoticed. I’d definitely rent from her again. My only note is that the picture of the front yard didn’t show how steep it is and how many steps there are - just sharing that if you have trouble with mobility. All in all, this house was amazing, and I highly recommend it.

Nice stay in Ranch style Home

Bring your 4 wheel drive car and snow boots! This property will not allow for cancellations for any reasons, even half a foot of snow. And expect to shovel the long driveway and 12+ stairs. Property is further than we would have liked from any good restaurants and grocery stores. The home had good heating with a nest thermostat. Black out curtains were perfect and the beds are very comfortable with lots of pillows and appropriate blankets. Good amount of kitchen items with plenty of space to cook and eat. Fridge is completely empty, but clean. There are cob webs and fire wood debris by the modem and fireplace. There was dog hair on the rug and the master bed blanket.

Peaceful, conveniently located Ithaca vacation home

We enjoyed being out in the country, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but situated close to everything Ithaca has to offer. The home was very clean and the hosts had booklets and pamphlets showing places to visit. We didn’t have enough time to do everything we wanted so we hope to return to this home in the future.

A Charming Stay!

We loved this clean, well-decorated farmhouse with a beautiful back yard and a great price! As we had variable weather during our stay, we were grateful both the heating system and AC units worked beautifully. We wished there were a sidewalk on Gunderman Road (or less traffic). We had to be careful walking our dog/stroller. Overall a great place!

Great place for some R&R

We had a nice stay at the property. The beds were extraordinarily comfortable, and we all slept well after long days of exploring the surrounding area and hiking. The home is beautifully appointed. We enjoyed the fire pit on our last night. We were surprised by the number of bugs (mainly moths and flies) that enter the home. It looks like they may come in through gaps between the window A/C units and the house itself. We were also a little off-put by the unfinished basement, which guests aren't supposed to use but that is where the laundry and dryer are located. Overall, a nice stay and great location for our family who wanted a stay in the country with access to all the amenities that Ithaca offers.

Relaxing family time

The rental process was very easy. The house was a perfect set up for our group. We enjoyed sitting on the patio for snacks and cribbage, made a delicious dinner on the grill, enjoyed an evening fire, coffee on the patio and returning for the evening after a day of winery visits! Beds were very comfortable too!

About the host

Hosted by Kristina Harrison

Host profile image
Our family of 4 plus our crazy pup are avid hikers and trail runners here in Ithaca, NY. We love to explore new trails and continue to be amazed at how beautiful Ithaca is. Gunderman Farm is located just a few minutes from the famous Finger Lakes Trail, Buttermilk Falls and Treman State Park. We have amazing restaurants that are short drive to town. Ithaca is Gorges! My husband and I live 5 minutes away and are available as needed.

Why they chose this property

We are close enough for a short trip to town but far enough away to relax without the stress of the city. Our property is located on 4 acres with farmlands directly across the street. Enjoy the magnificent night sky as you sit around the fire pit and catch one of our magnificent sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Guests have access to the whole house with the exception of the garage. We have a washer/dryer in the basement of the house that is available for use.
