Beautiful property close to Cornell

We stayed with extended family here and the house was perfect. It had everything you needed if you were to cook and eat at home, very well appointed kitchen. The linens and beds were very comfortable. it had so much space even with many people there it never felt cramped. Beautiful property

Amazing stay

My family and I stayed here for the weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The home was beautiful, clean, and spacious, with a great location close to both Cornell and the Commons. Sarah was great in all forms of communication both before and during our visit. Thanks so much!

Ithaca Visit

Interesting historic home with enough modern updates to please most. Easy walk to plenty of shops and restaurants. Useful kitchen for eat-in breakfasts or dinners. Easy drive to numerous gorges/falls. Very farm to table vibe in the town…

Stunning

Perfect property for a bunch of Cornell graduates in their 40s. Plenty of room and ample bathrooms - perfect in every way and an easy walk to both the commons and college town. It will be the top location of choice for years to come.

Great place

170 year old home so we understand there are some issues. Oven was not working, yes we used the instructions to turn it on. Did not get hotter than 200 degrees. Second oven saved the day. Other issue was some of the showers and faucets had one temperature and that was 120 degrees. Scalding hot and would not turn down. Beautiful property and fit our needs perfectly.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug, 2024
Hey Jeff!! Thanks for staying with us again! I’m so sorry to hear the oven wasn’t getting hot. I will look into this right away. Also odd about the showers. I’ll check that out as well. Wish you’d notified me during your stay so I could’ve gotten both things handled while you were with us. Regardless thanks for the feedback, and we hoped to host you again in the future.

Family Reunion

A perfect week in the perfect house for a family reunion. We grew up in Ithaca and then moved away. It was fun to share our home town with our families while staying at a fantastic home base

Great for parents visiting Cornell

The house was perfect for hanging out while visiting our students. A nice backyard to grill and tons of common space. The only awkward part was the bathroom situation as only 2 of seven rooms have bathrooms and the rest share one. In that one bathroom is a old fashioned tub with only a hand shower. Other than that perfect spot !

Gorgeous mansion!

Fountain Place is a beautiful, serene place. The rooms were superb, lovely views, comfy beds---and our host Vanessa was incredibly helpful, caring, engaging and knowledgable. She made great recommendations- for everything from Indian food to nearby waterfalls and locally owned bookstores! 👍 We had a wonderful time, and all the little touches that Vanessa provided made our stay extremely pleasant and Thank you!

We had a great time staying in this beautiful home. Sarah was so helpful and friendly. When we had a few issues with the air conditioning, she worked right away to remedy the situation. The property was clean and easy walking distance to downtown!

Fabulous Property

The mansion was a beautiful property with gorgeous woodwork, detailing and character inside! We had a large group of ladies stay for several days and we had a wonderful time! The home was well-maintained, clean and the kitchen had everything we needed; plenty of dishes, serving platters and cooking essentials were on-hand which was perfect for entertaining and the cookout we held on our last night's stay. We utilized the grill and enjoyed dining al fresco on the beautiful patio. There were plenty of bathrooms, beds/rooms (and even a couple of extra cots) and the location is ideal for walking into downtown Ithaca. I would highly recommend this property to any family or large group who appreciates the love and care that has gone into maintaining the property. We did have a slight issue with no hot water the first evening, but the property manager addressed our concern and corrected the problem the next morning. Two thumbs up!

Mini-reunion

After missing reunion due to covid we got together at this beautiful property as a substitute-reunion. The house was perfect for us, we had a blast. Everything is in walking distance (collegetown and Cornell up, Ithaca commons down), and there are many areas in the house to sit and relax. Every bedroom is nice too. And we were asked every day if we needed anything, thanks!

Historical and spacious; great host

Really enjoyed our stay. The house has a long history but is well kept. Well stocked kitchenwares made cooking really easy. Our kids had a lot of fun with occasional deer visits. Sarah, our host, was very responsive and helped us solving an internet issue really quickly, so some of us could work in the house.
