Good Spot

If you find yourself in need of lodging in Elmira-Corning area and would normally buy two hotel rooms, this is a great alternative. About the same price with the extra fees, but all four of us had our own space, three bedrooms upstairs and a day bed in the down stairs study. Everyone reported being comfortable. Quiet neighborhood, no traffic, neighbors are close, but we didn't see a human all labor day weekend. Recommendations Dinner Tanino's in Horseheads - The best pork chop on the planet, just do it. Corning Glass Museum - very much world class and well worth the time.. art, science, industry, antiquities.. and glass gifts you can't find elsewhere. Harris Hill Soaring - Glider rides are $140 and will be talked about for a life time, nothing like it anywhere. The downstairs half bath is a little tight. My kids called it an airplane bathroom. Kitty if you were to decorate it in aeronautical fashion it would be a conversation piece. All in all a nice place and we had no surprises or challenges with this house.

Comfortable Cottage

This VRBO cottage was very nice. It was comfortable for our quick weekend stay. My only concern was spiders. I saw several in the living room and in the bathroom. Our friends who we were visiting recommended this place and overall we were pleased with the place and the location. 15 minute drive to Corning, NY. Nice surprise! We made a quick trip to Corning before our celebration at our friends house two blocks from this cottage.

Family Time

Comfortable place for people willing to share a bathroom. We spent time with family living in Elmira so we didn't spend much time at the cottage during the day. The outside patio is cute, but the weather did not allow us to use it this trip.

An incredible experience

My family and I were looking for a place to stay that would be big enough for all of us and special enough for a birthday and Easter “getaway”... and, Kitty’s cottage was the perfect place. The house itself has an amazing feeling to it and is wonderfully maintained. However, the most important thing about the cottage is the thought that the hosts put into the place and the personal touches for the guests. There were little things set in place for a truly outstanding experience for my entire family; my mother had a memorable birthday and my nephew had his best Easter morning (he also loved the treasure hunt that is a part of staying at the cottage). This was our first experience with VRBO, and Kitty may have set the bar too high for all our future attempts at using it. What an incredible experience!

About the host

Hosted by Kitty Hall-Thurnheer

I love to be pampered so it gives me great joy to create beautiful, comfortable spaces with little surprises of wonderment. Prior to owning a guest house, I was a software guru, a jet pilot, and a journalist. Now I focus on keeping a balance between work and play. If there is anything you need or want, please let me know so I can make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the quietness of west Elmira and yet remain within walking distance of the Chemung River, the country club, or a quick drive to restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

Once you relax in the sunroom, you will never want to leave. Enjoy the front patio for early morning coffee and follow the sun to the back for an evening glass of wine by the koi pond and herb garden.
