About this property

Finger Lakes is Gorge-ous You will be close to Ithaca College, Cornell and more

Your Finger Lakes gorge-ous getaway gem awaits! Beautiful apartment, clean, sunrise view, in a residential neighborhood.

Your quiet space is on a cul-de-sac in our home, close to multiple gorges, Cornell, Ithaca College, downtown Commons, Cayuga Lake, hiking and biking trails, wineries and breweries. Two miles away is Ithaca College, one more mile is the Commons & you are at the foot of Cornell’s campus. Easy drive to Watkins Glen State Park trails, Seneca Lake and more wineries.

Ithaca is Gorges: close by is Buttermilk State Park, Treman State Park, Cascadilla Gorge Trail, Ithaca Falls, plus wineries, breweries, and Cayuga Lake. Taughannock State Park hits a lot of bells and whistles for its falls and hiking. We have birding areas at Lab of Ornithology and Montezuma. Seneca Lake is close by to offer all of the above and I recommend visiting Watkins Glen State Park.

Your bedroom is separate from the living room and kitchen spaces so if your partner wants to rest longer, close the bedroom door and enjoy your coffee or beverage of choice on the couch or on your patio. Your backyard view has bunnies and deer visible from your kitchen table or living room couch. Behind your apartment is a walking trail to a small pond and Gazebo.

Arriving guests park in your designated spot on our flat driveway and take a pathway to the back door entrance. There's a contactless keypad entry, and you are able to enjoy your own apartment with an outside patio, table and chairs.

Provided amenities: linens and bedding, WiFi, cable/smart TVs with streaming apps, stocked kitchen, coffee/tea/cream/sugar & your own patio. We take pride in offering a quiet and clean space and respectfully request up to two guests per night.

We are available for any questions, concerns, or advice on the local area!

Ithaca pristine

Charming immaculate offering to stay, adventure, relax and unwind around Ithaca and Cornell. We could not have asked for a better place to spend a romantic weekend to explore all that Ithaca had to offer. Everything about this place including the owners was nothing short of perfection in all aspects. Would highly recommend.

Stunning apartment & comfortable stay

It felt like we walked into an upscale New York City apartment. The apartment was stunning but also very comfortable and clean. We had the best night sleep right before our son’s graduation. The apartment is spacious and had all the amenities we needed. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!!

We stayed for five nights, and would absolutely recommend this beautiful apartment, clean, well appointed, and in a quiet and beautiful setting. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen supplied with a Keurig and k-cups, and the full sized appliances made it feel like home. (Also, the Wi-Fi is great. You know how important that is!) This unit is close to all the attractions, and we shopped the craft stores on the Commons one morning, braved the crowds at Saturday’s Farmers Market, toured wineries on Seneca Lake, ate at several very good restaurants, and spent a bit of time wandering at the Cornell Botanical Gardens.Overall, the proprietors are great hosts, and we highly recommend this place if you are visiting the Ithaca area.

We really enjoyed staying here. We were impressed by the details of the accommodations, especially the shampoo/conditioner in the shower, which seems rare in short term rentals. We really enjoyed being so close to downtown and would definitely stay here again!

Come visit wineries, breweries, restaurants a few miles away or take a short ride to Seneca Lake. Finger Lakes Region is our home. We continue to monitor the news for states with quarantine advisory and may need to change reservations for health and safety reasons. Contact less check-in but we are available to answer your questions.
