Finger Lakes is Gorge-ous
You will be close to Ithaca College, Cornell and more
Your Finger Lakes gorge-ous getaway gem awaits! Beautiful apartment, clean, sunrise view, in a residential neighborhood.
Your quiet space is on a cul-de-sac in our home, close to multiple gorges, Cornell, Ithaca College, downtown Commons, Cayuga Lake, hiking and biking trails, wineries and breweries. Two miles away is Ithaca College, one more mile is the Commons & you are at the foot of Cornell’s campus. Easy drive to Watkins Glen State Park trails, Seneca Lake and more wineries.
Ithaca is Gorges: close by is Buttermilk State Park, Treman State Park, Cascadilla Gorge Trail, Ithaca Falls, plus wineries, breweries, and Cayuga Lake. Taughannock State Park hits a lot of bells and whistles for its falls and hiking. We have birding areas at Lab of Ornithology and Montezuma. Seneca Lake is close by to offer all of the above and I recommend visiting Watkins Glen State Park.
Your bedroom is separate from the living room and kitchen spaces so if your partner wants to rest longer or watch their show, close the bedroom door, watch your TV and enjoy your coffee or beverage of choice on the couch or on your patio. Your backyard view has bunnies and deer visible from your kitchen table or living room couch. Behind your apartment is a walking trail to a small pond and Gazebo.
Arriving guests park in your designated spot on our flat driveway and take a pathway to the back door entrance. There's a contactless keypad entry, and you are able to enjoy your own apartment with an outside patio, table and chairs.
Provided amenities: linens and bedding, WiFi, 2 cable/smart TVs with streaming apps, stocked kitchen, coffee/tea/cream/sugar & your own patio. We take pride in offering a quiet and clean space and respectfully request up to two guests per night.
We are available for any questions, concerns, or advice on the local area!

our 3rd or 4th time at this property and always a pleasure! Our hosts think of everything, it’s immaculate, adorable and in just the right location for us!
We really enjoyed staying here. We were impressed by the details of the accommodations, especially the shampoo/conditioner in the shower, which seems rare in short term rentals. We really enjoyed being so close to downtown and would definitely stay here again!

Thank you! Yes, hopefully we see you both again soon.
this is our 3rd or 4th time staying in this property and its always a pleasure! It is spotless and our hosts think of everything - down to a brand new keurig fully stocked with coffee pods and creamer. great location for visiting our son in ithaca and also hitting the falls, wineries and more. Can’t say enough!
My husband and I truly enjoyed staying at this property. It’s an apartment with all the amenities you could want or need (full kitchen, bath, separate bedroom). It was comfortable, quiet, clean, and located close to much of what we wanted to do or see in the area. Would stay again!

Thanks so much for your kind comments! Do come again.
We stayed here while visiting family in the area and it was the perfect location for enjoying downtown Ithaca and the surrounding area. The apartment is very nice and elegant; with everything you need.
The apartment is even nicer in real life. Very clean and comfortable. It’s a quiet neighborhood that is a short drive from Cornell and downtown. We would definitely stay there again!
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and definitely not the last. It is adorable, so clean, has everything you might need and in a great area! The hosts are always accessible and obviously take great pride in their property. Love this spot!
