About the host

Hosted by Deirdre Carolan

Host profile image
We live in the Hudson Valley with our two kids, but love to visit the Ithaca area! We are drawn to the Finger Lakes region for different reasons...my husband graduated from Cornell while the countryside outside of Ithaca reminds me of Ireland where I spend many summers as a child visiting family. When in the area with our kids, we spend time at the lake, visiting state parks, bike riding, fly fishing, skiing and snowshoeing.

Why they chose this property

We instantly fell in love with this house and its expansive yard, and we truly hope you’ll feel the same! The location is perfect for us—just 10 minutes to Cayuga Lake for summer activities, 15 minutes to Ithaca and Cornell, 20 minutes to Taughannock State Park where we enjoy hiking, swimming, and the playground, and 20 minutes to Greek Peak for skiing in the winter, or the waterpark and adventure center year-round. Our goal was to create a space where you can unwind after a day of exploring or simply spend the entire day relaxing and enjoying the property. It’s the perfect spot to make lasting memories, whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation!

What makes this property unique

This house is a destination within itself! From the pickleball/basketball court to the hot tub and firepit, there is a place to play or relax for everyone in your group!
