About this property

Delightful Downtown Ithaca Home & Garden for extended stays

Now available for 30-day (and +) rentals only, our "Ithaca Home & Garden" is a gracious, classically-detailed home with wonderful spaces to celebrate special occasions both indoors and out! The unit is wheel-chair manageable with spacious rooms, hallway and wheel-in shower. High speed internet offers 132 Mbps. Ask us about using the lovely garden to hold a small outdoor BBQ reception or a fun marshmallow roast at the fire pit.
The entire downstairs unit is for your use. It has a private front and back door, as well as French Doors opening to the private formal terrace and garden. Behind the garage is the outdoor dining area with a gas grill, and further back is a sitting area with a fire pit. We want you to enjoy it all!
You may enjoy and use the entire back yard. Tenants upstairs in the house (who have their own private entry and outdoor deck) may use the dining area and the fire pit, but priority always goes to our downstairs guests.
We live nearby and we enjoy meeting our guests! We also respect your privacy and will be available as needed.
Walk to the Farmer's Market, to nearby eateries, coffee shops, and Ithaca Falls. Hike up Cascadilla Creek Trail to Cornell. Or, ride Ithaca Bike Share e-bike up the hill or on the nearby waterfront trail.
Walk, ride or bike. This location is close enough to walk to everything! Bus transport to Cornell and IC is available one block away. Beyond the bike share, rental bikes are available at bicycle shops and at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Get out and peddle!
This is a lovely space indoors and out, with lots of grace--please enjoy it!

Comfortable & Easy

We enjoyed our stay here. Even though the homes in this area are a little older, this house did not feel "old". The hardwood floors and quality construction and furniture were comfortable and inviting. I'm hoping we can stay here again!

Wonderful stay!

We stayed for almost a week and felt right at home! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was a plus. The neighborhood is very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants, the farmers market, and the Commons. We would definitely stay again if we return to Ithaca!

Like staying at my favorite Aunt's house

Oh my goodness! This house!! As soon as you walk in your soak up the beauty of this home. Everything was spic and span. The living room and dining room were the perfect place to visit and play cards. The kitchen had everything you needed...even an electric tea kettle! The beds were very comfortable. We had a neighborhood kitty visit us in the morning while enjoying coffee on the back porch. Very convenient to shopping, cafes and all those beautiful waterfalls. We've stayed in quite a few homes over the years and this one was by far THE BEST!

Beautiful, clean, great location

This was a perfect rental for our college reunion. The location is great - in a charming, quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the wonderful Ithaca Farmers Market, Purity Ice Cream, Ithaca Bakery, Gimme Coffee, Moosewood Restaurant, downtown Collegetown Bagels, Ithaca Commons and other restaurants and stores. The apt is spacious, light, stylish and clean, with a lovely yard, comfortable beds, and good shower. The owners provided everything we could want - a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of bath towels, fresh flowers on the table, a welcome basket of tasty goodies, and they even adjusted the arrival and checkout times to suit our needs. We will definitely stay here again!

Attention to detail

This property is a lovingly restored home with a mix of antiques and modern furniture. Lots of light, information on local attractions, everything we needed and then some (washer / dryer, umbrellas, etc), labelled with instructions. Beautiful private back yard with grill, fire pit, and places to eat outside. Flowers on the table when we arrived. Near restaurants and grocery stores. Beds, including foldout couch, were comfortable. Owner lives nearby and is very responsive. It was a terrific experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ann and Chad Hoover

Host profile image
We have been caring for this property since 2001 when Chad's Dad, Charles, moved to Ithaca to be near us and his grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

"Grandpa" chose this property because we live nearby. AND, it was for sale!

The corner double lot and roomy house needed a lot of work. Chad went to work to design a home where his Dad could age-in-place. The apartment is mobility-friendly with wide hall ways and doors. The entire apartment was designed to be ADA adaptable. A ramp in the garage services a wheel chair to the back porch and in through the back door. Charles used a walker and later a scooter; however, grab bars were never installed in the bathroom.

What makes this property unique

We love this space and the connection between the house and garden! We worked together to design and create a garden to be enjoyed and used. One of our daughters was married in the garden and another held her rehearsal dinner there. We look forward to living here when we retire!
