My gosh, if I could buy this property from them, I would do so in a heartbeat. We had an amazing stay and got to experience just about every season in New York has to offer.The home was inviting and anytime we felt warm, All we had to do was open the windows to let in fresh air and the sound of wonderful wildlife.We saw everything from owl to foxes, and spent most of our time, walking up and down the driveway with our dogs. We are sad to see this property go, and if we could, we would’ve taken it all summer.The hosts were fantastic, and I highly recommend you take the opportunity to stay here, as there’s nothing else on the market that will give you quite this taste of New York country life. 10 out of 10, would recommend!!!

As advertised, this is a spacious secluded property on a lovely patch of woods. The surroundings are incredibly tranquil and a haven for wild birds and deer, but you're only a 10 minute drive from downtown Ithaca, and the location is a great jumping-off point for all the wineries, breweries, cideries, and other amenities surrounding Cayuga Lake. Loosely fenced backyard was great for a dog. Communication with the host was outstanding, and the check-in was quick and simple. The house is well-appointed with a nicely-stocked kitchen with modern appliances and a selection of cooking staples; bedrooms and bathrooms featured ample linens and bedding options; full laundry facilities in the basement; and flawless wifi. About the only things I think could have been improved were that the gas grill had not been cleaned in a while and had a finicky ignition switch (gas matches are provided), and some of the tourist literature in the kitchen was dated, but still offered a good starting point to research some of the local options for food and attractions. All in all, this was an exquisitely peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings, ideal for a week where you can "get away from it all" or dip in and out of civilization in a wonderful part of New York state. Highly recommended!

Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Maria & John's place. Communication was excellent, John even met us and helped us find the place as we were arriving after dark. The location was exactly as described, a real woodland retreat with forest surrounding the house, very private. Everything was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. I would not hesitate to book again!

My family and I stayed for two nights recently for my daughter's Ithaca College graduation. The owners were wonderful and thoughtful hosts. The house is inviting and so comfortable. It is very peaceful and we loved being surrounded by nature. We would definitely come back instead of staying at a hotel.

Cutest hideaway

absolutely adorable home with all the essentials for cooking and game night. we lucked out with snow the whole trip and the windows make you feel like you’re living in a snow globe. plenty of space for our five guests to sleep and hang. and there’s a piano for anyone who likes to pluck around on the keys!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2023
Thank you for your feedback. I have clarified our on-line listing to reflect that the television has streaming capability, but not cable or satellite TV. The mattresses are handcrafted in Tennessee and we use 100% cotton sheets with a high thread count. We find the beds comfortable, but, of course, not every bed is for every person. I wish you had let us know during your stay about your disappointment with the bedding, though, because I am sure we could have made that right. We think that the location, nestled into a wooded area on 25 acres but only 10 minutes from shopping and Cornell, is the best of both worlds, but that too is a matter of individual taste. We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations.

Quiet house nestled in the woods

The house was set in the middle of the woods and we enjoyed our stay in the house. Was very peaceful and quiet. It is a quaint house and location. The huge windows in the living room were my favorite and you can see tall trees in all direction. We visited during fall and the leaves were such pretty colors. Very quiet and peaceful location. The hosts had taken care to provide good supplies - plenty of towels, good kitchen dishes and utensils. The one thing to note is that the property is huge and sits on several acres of wooded land, but we could not explore it much, since the trees and shrubbery was overgrown. A great addition would be maintaining walking trails for exploring the land.

great weekend getaway

Wonderful private home in the woods just outside Ithaca. Very well located for exploration of the area-including state parks for hiking, downtown Ithaca and Cornell. The house is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped-- making it easy for us to eat most meals in. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!!

The perfect woodsy getaway

We rented the house for the month of October and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Looking for a woodsy escape from the city, Maria's house was absolutely perfect. The foliage was stunning, house is so cozy and comfortable with all the necessary amenities and more. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The house is lovely, the location is unbeatable, and Maria is a responsive and wonderful hostess. Highlights: - the gorgeous sun room, perfect for yoga every morning and set up a workspace that everyone on Zoom thought was a virtual background because it's so beautiful! - trails around the property through the wooded 25 acres, occasion visits from deer around the house - fully stocked kitchen, new appliances - great space in the basement for workouts - super comfy beds! - fast wifi that two of us were able to work remotely from (lots of video calls with no issues) - 20 min from downtown Ithaca, yet feels so secluded - Maria's hospitality to drop off a space heater, pick up the garbage & recycling, and be highly responsive to questions before and during the booking process
