Girls Getaway
We loved this property! Close enough to Ithaca and the hikes we wanted to do. House is even nicer than pictured! Beautiful patio area where we enjoyed coffee in the morning and a firepit each night. House was super clean. Owner responded to questions quickly. No negatives to report!

Comfort on Comfort Road!
We traveled to Ithaca to drop our daughter off as a freshman at Ithaca College. We stuck around and explored the beautiful town. Due to a high volume of people moving in, we chose to cook in rather than eating out most nights. The kitchen was stocked more than any rental we’ve ever stayed at and the house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. In addition, the host was very generous to leave us some tasty treats and was very responsive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this comfortable retreat!

Perfection!
Our getaway to property was perfect! The owners had a helpful booklet with property and area info that was very helpful. They even had some surprise local treats, fresh ground coffee beans and condiments to help greet us! The accommodations were exactly as described or better in every aspect. We enjoyed all that there is to do on the property, which included - yoga/meditation, pickleball, cornhole, campfires, games, and wildlife watching (they even had a pair of binoculars for us to use! The property was conveniently located to all of the parks and waterfalls that we wanted to visit and we made a couple trips into Ithaca to check out, downtown, Ithaca college and Cornell. A cool breakfast/lunch spot close to the cabin we hit between hikes was Dolce Delight, we recommend this place almost as much as the Cabin! Thanks again to the owners for sharing their property and taking the time to have everything in place for our family’s “unplugging” getaway!!!

Nice cabin for family close to Ithaca
This cabin was the perfect solution for our family (myself, two siblings, our spouses and a pre-teen). Tri-level design allowed all some private space. We were in the area for a wedding in Ithaca and to explore some of the Finger Lakes parks/hikes/waterfalls. It was close enough to Ithaca to be a short commute for wedding activities/visiting Cornell, etc, while being out in the woods, quiet, shady, with wildlife, etc. Was nice to unwind around the fire pit in the evening and cook a few good meals. Owner communication was great, and they quickly accommodated a request for an iron to prep the wedding attire.

Super Cool Retreat in the Woods!
Had a fantastic weekend at this out of the ordinary location. Great spot to just chill but close enough to Ithaca to take advantage of all it has to offer. House was immaculately clean…seriously not a speck of dust…and had all the amenities. Kitchen is beyond fully stocked and plenty of sheets towels and blankets. Downstairs is totally private apt too. Lovely scenery and we had a fire at night. Host was super responsive and helpful. We had 6 people and was really comfortable for all. Highly Recommend! (Didn’t use yoga studio but it’s lovely inside!)

Graduation Weekend
The Log Home Retreat was an excellent space for our family to stay and celebrate graduation weekend. We were 15-20 minutes away from all of the Cornell graduation activities and Ithaca sites. The home is spacious and had everything we needed to host our extended family. Brad and Emily have done a wonderful job making the interior of the log home both functional and beautiful. The outdoor space makes the experience that much better with the ability to gather, play, relax, and enjoy nature. Everyone in our group from age 2-72 found a spot on this great property that connected with what they needed to make the best of this weekend getaway. We highly recommend it and only wish we had found it sooner!
