Property was exactly as described in the listing. Great location for our specific trip, only 10/15 minute to Cortland and about the same distance to Ithaca. We’ll certainly book this property again for our future trips to the area.

Family fun weekend with all the amenities and more.

We greatly enjoyed our stay! The house is so much bigger than expected, beautiful and charming, it was fully stocked all the items you’d need and more. The location is convenient to get to Cortland and Ithaca. We will definitely stay here again.

I stayed in this beautiful home with my children when we went upstate for my daughter's graduation. The house was exactly as pictured. The rooms were very large and immaculate. Every amenity you can think of is already there (every possible appliance for the kitchen, hair dryers, toiletries, even a first aid kit). There was a slight issue when we arrived, but the hosts were incredibly responsive and took care of it immediately. Check in was perfectly explained. The beds were super comfortable. Loved the big TVs since it rained for a large portion of our trip. My favorite bonus was the farm at the end of the driveway, waking up to cows grazing really gave us that country feel. Would highly recommend this home and these hosts.

Wonderful property and stay!

We had a family-friend weekend to hike waterfalls and enjoy the fall leaves. Pictures and property descriptions are all accurate , the house cleanliness and accommodations were amazing!! I had a couple questions for the hosts and their response was quick and the check in/out was easy. You can tell they put a lot of work and care into the property. We would stay again!! Thank you!!

Lovely home base in central NY

We stayed here with our almost adult sons while visiting our Syracuse student. The house is older and has a ton of charm, warm and cozy on this stormy winter weekend. We enjoyed the remoteness of the house; we either cooked or drove into Cortland for dinner. Plenty of comforts including lots of warm blankets and a well equipped kitchen with a cute coffee and tea station set up in the hutch. My musical kiddo very much enjoyed the keyboard in his room!I had to contact the owners about a small leak under a sink and they responded right away and had it fixed quickly. We would absolutely stay here again!

So glad we booked this rental for the funeral weekend of my Father. Our five grown children flew in to stay with their dad and I; the first time we have all stayed overnight under one roof since the oldest got married nine years ago. The grounds and house are absolutely beautiful as pictured. There was space for us each to find a quiet place if needed, and ample space for us to gather — around a meal, for a game, or just to reminisce. A daughter and I would catch up with each other sitting in the comfortable chairs in the upstairs hallway, while dad and our son were sitting at the dining table sharing. Another two daughters were in one of the living rooms watching a movie, while another caught some much needed alone time. One of the things, with five females we often find difficult is getting ready with limited mirrors. There are mirrors tucked inside every closet door and scattered throughout the house. We didn’t bring grandkids, but noticed supplies of toys throughout, neatly tucked away and sure to delight. This place just brought so much peace and comfort to our weekend from the moment we drove on the property. Thank you to the hosts for a five-star experience

One of a kind experience, an old home renovated well on the inside. Everything was in good shape and condition. Gives the country living experience especially when the cows were grazing in the morning and evening just across the street from the property. Outside garden, lush trees, vibrant flowers were very nice, especially the deck with the grill was good. I do recommend it for families with children. Max and Tiffany were very welcoming, respectful and responsive. Overall a memorable and enjoyable stay.These are recommendations to improve experience and not a concern. The couches had some old stain marks which could have been more spotless clean, not a fan of tubs so 1F bath could also be a stand-in shower, and additional half bath in each floor would keep this booked always. A game room or more outdoor games and board games would have been excellent for kids. Did the stove had a built in air fryer, I wasn't sure. Although the dishwasher was the quietest, some challenges without display and app access.

My friends and I stayed in this beautiful house for our annual ladies trip and it did NOT disappoint!! It was exactly as advertised and perfect for our needs! Well-equipped with enough beds and ample supplies for a group of middle-aged women to be comfortable and content. The hosts were exceptionally kind and responsive and set clear and reasonable expectations and rules to maintain and respect their lovely property! (I had a very bad recent experience with another VRBO host who made false accusations against me and accused me of causing pre-existing damage, thus greatly appreciate this!!!) Thank you Max and Tiffany!!
