We needed to book a new place last minute and the house was great for us. We were meeting up with family and enjoyed the hot tub and the spacious dining area for a fun evening. Will definitely come back when we have more time to explore the area. Great location for walking and watching the crew teams practice.

House in Ithaca

We absolutely loved this property!!The view was beautiful and many restaurants and stores were less than 10 minutes away. Everything was clean and available for us to find if we needed and there were lots of instructions for the hot tub and check out. Diane and Erik were great with any questions we had! We already agreed we definitely would book this place again!
