About this property

Our Ithaca Home & Garden is a gracious, classically-detailed home with wonderful spaces to celebrate special occasions both indoors and out! Professionally cleaned to help you be safe. The unit is wheel-chair manageable with spacious rooms, hallway and wheel-in shower. 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!
Guests may enjoy and use the entire back yard. Tenants and guests upstairs in the house (who have their own private entry and outdoor deck) may request to 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 a Lime Bike 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. 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!

Great place!

We stayed her for our son's graduation. Very comfortable and well maintained property. We greatly enjoyed having the outdoor space when we needed a little down time on a very busy weekend.

Lovely spacious and relaxing main floor apartment

We had an excellent stay. The property is very central and we were able to walk everywhere. All rooms have generous proportions and are very tastefully decorated. The bathrooms and kitchen were well equipped. It really felt like we were staying in someone's house. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Ann and Chad Hoover

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!
