Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ardys Persson

Ardys and Mark live in Southport, CT. They have blended their families and together have 5 grown children and 2 dogs. Ardys does design and planning, while Mark is a general contractor. This is the first VRBO home that they owned (there is now a second in Chatham, MA) and they are constantly on the go between houses, making improvements, and taking great pride in the work they've done in the construction and furnishing of these homes.
Why they chose this property
We are a Cornell Alum and a native of Upstate NY so Ithaca is near and dear to our hearts. We purchased this home in March of 2021 and spent the next 8 months putting our hearts and souls into renovating and decorating it from top to bottom. It is our pride and joy and we would love to share this special place with you and your family!
What makes this property unique
You can literally see the lake from every room in this house (ok . . . not from the half bath). There are multiple outdoor spaces to have coffee watching the sunrise, enjoy seeing the boats and wildlife, or have a drink by the fire. Elegant and tranquil with less than a 10 minute drive into downtown Ithaca.
