About this property
Private and Comfortable 3 Bedroom House
Whatever the Season there's so much to see and do. Summer is for relaxing. There's so much to do in the Finger Lakes. But sometimes just taking it easy and relaxing is too good to pass up. Judy's Guest House is the place for this. Air conditioning inside, when the weather is too hot to venture out. A shaded patio with a propane grill is just asking for a Shish-ke-bob and a huge green salad.
Starting in June there is the firefly spectacular. The lawn, trees and nearby fields are alive with millions of flashing lights. Time to sit outside with a cool drink and just watch nature at its best. And there is always a great fireworks display in July.
Or grab a pole (make sure you have a license) and bring home a fresh trout or bass for dinner! Fishing is really great here and Cayuga Lake has hosted the Bassmaster Elite Tournament and Festival in past years. If you're not the relaxing type, here are just a few things that can make your summer come alive. • Cinemas • Antiquing • Horseback Riding • Museums • Live Theater • Boating • Parasailing • Sight Seeing • Finger Lakes Wine Trail • Kayaking • Fishing • Sailing • Swimming • Restaurants • Theater • Music • Trumansburg Farmer's Market • Cabin View Alpaca Farm -lovely Alpaca items for sale • Glenwood Farms Bison • Cornell • Ithaca College • Waterloo Premium Outlet with 100 brand name stores • Hector National Forest • Harris Hill Soaring Center • Watkins Glen International Race Track • Corning Glass • Night Life • Ithaca Farmer’s Market • Goat Cheese Trail • Newman Arboretum • Sonnenburg Gardens • Seward Museum • Harriet Tubman Home

The house was spotlessly clean. Three bedrooms with laundry and one bath -ideal for family. There was also dining/ sitting room area. We stayed with my daughter, her husband and grandson (5 in total). There was plenty of parking space for 2 cars and the we could get to shopping areas easily by car.
Conatct arrangements were also great.
This is our second time staying at Judy’s cottage. Great location for our pups and very peaceful. Right between Trumansburg and Ithaca so a quick drive to anything. Judy is a gracious host, house is welcoming. Will definitely stay again. Thank you Judy!
Very affordable and great location. Judy reached out right away when she found we left something behind after checkout.

Judy's Guest House is in a great, central location for exploring Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. The house was just as described and was a wonderful home base for us. It was quiet and peaceful while also providing ample space for relaxing, playing games, and watching TV. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
I found this property to be just as advertised. It is located a short distance from local areas of interest. Communication with the property
manager was excellent during our stay. I
am very pleased with our stay and I would stay at this property again in the future.
We had an incredible vacation! The house is so comfortable and roomy judy had everything we needed and some!! The favorite part was the yard. My girls loved playing in the brook with our dog! We enjoyed relaxing watching them play and gwt along! Love the location so close to everywhere we loved the falls and swimming in thelake and jumping off the diving board by the waterfall!! My husband also caught some real big trout!! We will definitely be back next yr and after that! Thanks again
Comfortable, Affordable Spot for a Finger Lakes Vacation
Judy's place is not fancy, but it is comfortable, affordable, quiet and conveniently located. we appreciated that our family had room to spread out, the beds were super comfortable, wifi was good and the water cooler was a nice touch. Thanks for a nice stay, Judy!
Judy’s place was a perfect spot for our stay while attending a wedding in town. Listing was as advertised, and house had everything we needed. Town was just a quick drive away. I would recommend Judy’s place to anyone heading to the Ithaca area.
For needing to be in both T-burg AND Ithaca over the weekend, this location was perfect. Loved the more secluded feel and the fireflies were amazing!
Comfy beds, decently stocked kitchen and sufficient furniture for our group to sit/eat comfortably.
There were some cobwebs and more than a couple spiders, so we rated the cleanliness a little lower.
We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The bedrooms and beds were nicely appointed, the kitchen was equipped for all our basic needs, the space was comfortable. We enjoyed the open space in back for running around. Thank you!
Our stay in Judy's guesthouse was great -- the pricepoint for location between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes + the wineries is unmatched. The house felt private and had a nice grassy lawn in the back for our dog to run around. Additionally, we had everything we needed for home cooking, between the grill outside and a full kitchen. We would stay here again!
Great stay with family and pups. Plenty of room, great location between TBurg and Ithaca. Fantastic outdoor space for pets and walking. Will definitely come here again. Thank you Judy!
We always enjoy staying here. The host even helped us out when bad weather delayed our departure this time around. We will definitely stay again in the future!
The house was clean and orderly, beds made up and television worked fine. There is an odor when you run the water both in the kitchen and bath. Also a few bugs inside but nothing harmful. We needed to turn on the heat and that worked perfectly. I also appreciated the simple check-out instructions.
