This property was everything we could have hoped for for a relaxing vacation week. The beautiful scenery along with the hot tub made for such a wonderful week and with the game room as well it had everything we could have wanted for my family of 4. A great week and we would love to revisit again sometime in the future!
My friends and I had an amazing stay. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals together and the surrounding area offered tons of activities. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. Overall I would highly recommend staying here.
This is without of doubt the best house I’ve ever stayed at. The house was clean, there was stuff to do and my family was having a great time staying here. Would definitely recommend this house and looking forward of making another reservation in the future.
Amazing property. The owners literally thought of and prepared everything/anything you could possibly need while there. Amenities were great, bathrooms were clean and spacious, great hot water/water pressure, beds were comfortable, and communication was great. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about travelling to the finger lakes region.
Great very clean , great place to hang out , has all the extras that you might of forgotten when packing . Loved the wood fire pizza and the fire pit . Kids loved the hot tub.
The place was very nicely appointed with many thoughtful touches for guests to all ages. The kids loved all the games in the basement and the adults appreciated that they loved it!
This property is stunning, with a beautifully maintained home that’s perfect for both extended stays and quick getaways. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right—welcoming, helpful, and genuinely accommodating. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Thank you Jessica! We are so glad you enjoyed. Please return!
So much care and thought have gone into this property. Its peaceful setting has views for miles, and the smart interior layout creates a variety of spaces to gather and retreat as needed. The tasteful Christmas decorations made it feel especially welcoming for our December visit, but it would be delightful any time of year. The home is stocked with everything a large group could possibly need without feeling cluttered or overstuffed. It is as lovely in person as it appears online — immaculate, well designed and full of warmth. The hosts are very responsive and provide on online guide with all the helpful details and recommendations you could need. We loved this home and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Daura was a great host, checking in multiple times throughout our stay to ensure we had the best time possible. Amazing property, had a ton of fun! 10/10 would stay again.
Lovely home! Enjoyed the views, fire, and hot tub. Hosts were easy to reach and provided lots of amenities so that we were able to pack light for our trip.
It’s a beautiful home in a beautiful area and a great spot for a weekend away with friends. The hot tub and all the amenities were perfect. Daura was incredibly easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property is truly amazing, and has everything that you could ever want. It is extremely clean and gorgeous. The hosts went out of our way to make us feel at home. We will absolutely be returning!
We so enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property!

About the host
Hosted by Daura Driscoll & Jamal Diboun
We recently built this brand new custom home with our family construction business. This home has never been lived in. We have lived in his area for 18 years and love the Finger Lakes so much we wanted to create a beautiful home for people to come enjoy all this area has to offer year round.
Why they chose this property
This property has 360° views, meadow, and hardwood forest to be enjoyed in all seasons. It is a great springboard for any Finger Lakes adventure. Short drive to Ithaca and Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and Ithaca College, or Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake.
What makes this property unique
This is a custom built home unlike any other with the barn wood features, charm, and lots of character. So much to do inside and outside the home, it will be hard to leave the property.
