Fantastic Spring Break Trip!

Our three young kids (3, 6, 8) loved the Yurt! It was nice to escape for a few days, and Michelle was a great hostess! We enjoyed local waterfall hikes and the children's Sciencenter was amazing. We'll be recommending Michelle and Climbing Vine to friends who also need a fun place to stay.

Nice quiet place to stay. Very convenient for traveling with our dog. Nice trail for dog walking right outside the door. Close to Ithaca. Our first stay in a yurt!

Great stay!

My girlfriend and I thought this was an awesome property and suited our needs perfectly. The location was quiet and peaceful. Michelle was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She was quick to respond. Check in/Check out was very easy as well. We would definitely stay here again- no questions asked.

Great stay

Michelle has done a great job with the yurt. Having real walls inside makes it feel more like a home; while the loft and big skylight in the middle makes it feel like an adventure. My kids loved feeding the fish and chickens. Michele is a fantastic host. Only minutes from Ithaca, it was a great place to explore from.

Magical Yurt Stay

We had such a wonderful family vacation at the Climbing Vine Cottage. The host provided coloring supplies, toys, & books for our children. My husband & I enjoyed relaxing in front of the pellet stove. & to our surprise, we even experienced our first snow of the season during our stay. So grateful for the hosts quick responses & recommendations for local restaurants & activities. I highly recommend this spot for your next family getaway!

So beautiful and peaceful

What a wonderful weekend! Thank you to Michelle and her family for a fantastic experience and for sharing their amazing yurt with us. Our three boys (10, 7, 4) enjoyed sleeping in the awesome loft and hanging out in the garden watching the frogs and feeding the fish. Michelle spent time showing the boys around the garden and having them sample the many fruits, veggies and herbs growing there. She taught them to make chamomile tea from real flowers -- which they insisted we do at every meal. Imagine the delight when I needed an egg to make cookies and we could take the boys out to the chicken coop to get one! We also enjoyed hiking around the property and making s'mores by the fire pit. The boys even found some rocks with fossils in them down by the stream. There was so much to do on the property and we were less than 15 minutes from Ithaca and all of its amazing sights. The yurt was comfortable, homey, cool and just the perfect getaway for the five of us! Thank you!

Our favorite stay of all times! The gardens were peaceful and beautiful the yurt was spacious with all the amenities one might need. The hosts were so gracious and helpful in recommending local places of interest and restaurants. The location was convenient to downtown Ithaca as well as surrounding parks and lakes.

Beautiful and serene property. Had fun visiting the chickens daily (we counted 15!), walking through the wildflower garden and adjoining woods, enjoying the peacefulness of the koi pond, and sitting outside at night under the starry sky. We had deer stop by in the evenings and we even got to see a doe nursing two fawn! Michelle is a responsive and gracious host. The local coffee and wildflowers on the table when we arrived were special touches. We also thoroughly enjoyed meeting and chatting with Michelle's father, George. The yurt itself is comfortable and cozy, and we enjoyed the artwork on the walls. Kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation.The location is ideal for driving into Ithaca for waterfall hikes and sightseeing, museums, the Cornell Ornithology Lab, independent bookstores, and a variety of delicious options for meals. But I would also recommend just strolling around Main Street in Newfield to check out the covered bridge, the King Bowstring Arch Bridge, a one room schoolhouse, and a pop into the Covered Bridge Market & Pizzaria. Our entire stay was so relaxing and just felt magical. We really wanted another day or two, but reality called us home. We do hope to make it back for another, longer vacation. Thank you for sharing your wonderful yurt!

Such a peaceful, memorable experience

It's clear that this is a cherished and well-maintained property! The host was warm, friendly and welcoming; without her recommendations, we would've missed some of the most beautiful sights to see in Ithaca! Treman park nearby is a must-see.The yurt was super comfortable, and we felt lucky to be a small part of its history. There is a nature reserve behind the property, a beautiful gorge within walking distance. Highly recommend this stay, for anyone wanting a special experience in Ithaca!

Short Getaway - Close to Ithaca

The property was beautiful. Short paths to stroll and we had the opportunity to pick fresh apples and pears to enjoy with our meals. Very cozy yurt that had everything we needed. Acommodating and helpful host! We would certainly come back again.

Birthday celebration

The owner, Michelle was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. We loved being able to bring our lab as we spent our days hiking in the State Parks. We also spent much time admiring the many waterfalls, visiting Cornell University and the Botanic Gardens. The yurt was a bit pricy for the the accommodations and the kitchen lacked a few items needed for preparing meals. It was nice to have the smart tv to watch the Bills game on Sunday.

Great Stay Outside Ithaca

The (3-6 person) yurt experience is truly wonderful. The yurt itself has an herb garden and 2 koi ponds onsite. Michelle is a gracious and kind hostess who ensured we were well taken care of. The yurt itself is very clean and comfortable and even comes with fresh local coffee! Based on the season, you may need insect (tick) repellent if you plan to traipse through the wildflower fields and woods nearby. We would love to stay here again and hope to do so in the near future.

BeaYURTiful!

This adorable yurt was CLEAN and comfortable. We really loved the interior spaciousness and the cozy loft for the kids, as well as the beautiful central skylight. Our favorite part, though, was our SUPERhost Michelle. She was the perfect balance of available without being in-your-face. She was incredible with our kids teaching them how to feed chickens, gather eggs, tell the difference between koi fish and goldfish, and pick raspberries and zucchinis. She also went out of her way to show us the hiking path to the wonderful secluded waterfalls ten minutes from the yurt. Extra bonus treats were the natural soaps and cleansers in the yurt, the fridge dispenser with cold water ready-to-go, and the fully stocked kitchen where we were able to cook a feast every night. Thanks, Michelle, for a fantastic family vacation and treasured memories

Great Location

The yurt was in a quiet location. Close enough to everything that a simple drive brings you to groceries, restaurants, the commons and the waterfalls. Far enough away to enjoy a peaceful bbq at the end of the day. Clean yurt, and Michelle was very responsive when we had a question. We hope to enjoy her yurt again some day soon!

Relaxing and Beautiful

The yurt is lovely and extremely comfortable. I stayed with my 12 yr old son who was delighted with the loft. It feels very remote but it's also very close to town. Michelle is very friendly and helpful. There is so much to see and do in the area! It's very difficult to choose just a few different things. It's one of the best stays I've ever had, and we hope to be able to go back again!

Sweet Place!

Spacious, clean and unique! Manager was helpful. Not a very secluded place, as residence sat 200' away from Yurt, BUT, many efforts were provided to enhance privacy i.e., back entrance, plants. Would stay again!
