About this property
Delightful Downtown Ithaca Home & Garden for extended stays
Now available for 30-day (and +) rentals only, our "Ithaca Home & Garden" is a gracious, classically-detailed home with wonderful spaces to celebrate special occasions both indoors and out! The unit is wheel-chair manageable with spacious rooms, hallway and wheel-in shower. High speed internet offers 132 Mbps. 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!
You may enjoy and use the entire back yard. Tenants upstairs in the house (who have their own private entry and outdoor deck) may 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 Ithaca Bike Share e-bike up the hill or 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. Beyond the bike share, 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!

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!
