Super clean and comfortable. Lots of welcoming conveniences. Beautiful nature view. Fantastic AC. Minutes from Cornell, Gardens, Hiking, and Downtown Ithaca. Might be the cleanest home rental we've experienced -- thank you hosts!!!

Reid & Carolyn were the perfect guest, leaving the apartment in pristine condition upon leaving. They were very respectful of the property and would highly recommend them to any future host…you won’t be disappointed. We would definitely host them again if given the opportunity.
Beautiful Spaces inside & out! We made 2-meals during our stay & the kitchen had everything we could ever need. Livingroom was well laid out for visiting & relaxing. Good sized bathroom with outstanding shower. Outdoor space is lovely for moring coffee & watching birds. 10/10 would recomend!

Thank you Ramona for the lovely review. It was a pleasure to host you and your family while in Ithaca. We hope to get the opportunity to host you again when in ithaca.
This is an immaculate and thoughtfully laid out apartment. The beds are comfortable and every creature comfort of home has been thought of. Tami and Dan are excellent hosts and very easy to communicate with. We will absolutely stay again the next time we are in town and highly recommend.
This was the perfect accommodation for my family. We were in town for a graduation at Ithaca College. It feels secluded, but is close to everything. The space is modern and very well stocked. Beds are very comfortable. Would not hesitate to stay again.

It was a pleasure to host/meet you and Caitlyn while visiting Ithaca and touring Cornell. We hope that the remainder of your college tours and road-trip went well.
Hideaway had all the convenient accommodations anyone could need (i.e. dishwasher, washer/dryer). Bedrooms were spacious, as well as the bathroom. Tami and Dan are very thoughtful and helpful as well. We would stay here again!

Mark, Amy and their daughters were the perfect guests. They were a pleasure to host and left the apartment in excellent condition when they left. It was a pleasure to chat with Amy and Mark. We really enjoyed hosting them, anyone would be fortunate to have them as a guest. The West Family is a solid 10 out of 10.
My father and I stayed overnight to see a concert at Cornell and the only regret we had is that we couldn't stay longer! The property was extremely clean and as others have said, Tami has thought of everything in terms of detail. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back in the future!
Wonderful stay in very clean, well-appointed space with lots of privacy, just minutes from Cornell campus. Tami was communicative and responsive but not at all intrusive. Kitchen was stocked with milk and coffee, yogurts, bottled waters snacks - and a bottle of local wine! Plenty of fluffy towels and beautiful bedrooms. If we are in the area again, we will come back!
My wife, who wrote a note in the guest book, is an artist with an exceptional eye to detail and her surroundings, as would be expected. She was exceptionally impressed by your consideration to every detail in providing everything down to the smallest touches to make your guests feel comfortable and well equipped. We only spent one night, on our way to a wedding destination, so we did not really experience the place at length, but we were immediately immersed in a sense of hominess and comfort. The mattresses were beyond comfortable and the bird watching was a delightful added treat. Cornell was other-worldly and magnificent, what a campus!Having been at countless VRBO's in our time, we found yours not 5 stars, but 6!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at The 1113 Hideaway. I’m glad that you weren’t disappointed in your accommodations. It was a pleasure to host you & your wife if only for a night. We hope to get the opportunity to host you agin if ever visiting the area. I hope that you got yourself a bird feeder, you’ll be hooked once you get one.
This is a beautiful property both inside and out. The accommodations are exactly as advertised and then some. Tami does not leave anything to chance, if you forgot something it’s probably already there.
We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the wildlife… birds, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, etc. It was a great place to come back to after busy days exploring the beautiful area of lakes, wineries and waterfalls.
Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all 🌞❤️
Our travels brought us to Ithaca for a swim tournament for our teen son. Tami was a pleasure to work with throughout the booking process, she was very accommodating. The location was within an easy 10 min drive to Ithaca college yet separated from the center of town to have a country feel.
The unit itself was exactly as in the pictures and site described but we were pleasantly surprised at all the details. Tami left us a bottle of local wine, coffee, waters and other goodies. Linens and towels were included and the entire place was very clean. Having a washer/dryer was especially helpful. The place had a nice veranda altho we did not use it due to the cold weather but the overview of the yard had that relaxing feeling.
Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this place for anyone visiting the area.

Henry and his family were the perfect guest leaving the apartment in mint condition when they left. We would be honored to host them again if they return to Ithaca. Anyone would be lucky to have Henry and his family stay at their vacation property.
We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The apartment is gorgeous, and immaculate. Every detail is accounted for by Tami who, along with Dan, could not have been more pleasant and courteous to me and my family. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to spend some time in or around Ithaca, NY.
Pictures do not do this listing justice. The apartment is beautiful and well thought out. There was a lot of planning in the design and execution. Excellent communication from the owners. Location is a short drive from everything Ithaca. Thanks for a great stay!
Tami's attention to detail and comfort was outstanding.
The accommodation was spacious and very thoughtfully equipped.
In addition it was filled with extra special touches including welcoming and much appreciated generous treats .
Any communication with her was prompt and helpful too.
It was obvious that she took great care in the comfort and enjoyment of her guests stay.
We look forward to staying with her in the future.
Really cute and tidy place! Tami was an amazing host, she made sure everything was perfect before we arrived, and even gave us some vegetables from their garden!
