Perfect little hideaway
Came for 3 days to visit Cornell with my daughter and this home was perfect. Small, yet not lacking anything, rustic but lacking none of the modern tech. The backyard waterful, fire pit and views are worth the stay alone. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome Location, Scenery, & Experience
I recently stayed at this VRBO listing and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The coziness of the cabin, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty made for a perfect relaxing getaway. The bed was so comfortable and the fireplace really added to the cozy atmosphere. While we enjoyed staying in and chilling out, we also appreciated the convenience of having everything we needed close by. When we decided to venture out to eat, restaurants and conveniences were just a short distance away. I highly recommend this VRBO listing to anyone looking for comfort and convenience in a beautiful natural setting.

Idyllic peaceful getaway
This is the most perfect location! Really secluded with your own drive, entrance and waterfall and lake views, but only a 10 minute drive to downtown Ithaca. The property was really comfortable and cosy and really clean. It's really close to both Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen, which are both a must! Cornell is also the most beautiful campus I have seen! I would 100% recommend and I am already dreaming of visiting again!

basic with mountain cabin feel
The two of us and our dog were cozy and comfortable in this 2 room cabin. it was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable. There are steps into the cabin and up into the bedroom so someone with mobility issues might have a hard time. The area felt safe. 10-15 minutes to many hiking trails with waterfalls. 10 minutes to the center of town with shopping and restaurants. 11 wineries with the farthest being 35 minutes away. There are also museums for adults and children. We had only 2 days to explore the area but we will definitely return to the area and rent this cabin again.

Lovely Vistas, Quiet Place
If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay that feasts the eyes as soon as you look out the window, this is it. If you are looking for luxury and amenities, this is not the place for you. My husband and our 2 dogs enjoyed it very much, getting away from it all is what we were looking for.

Annual visit
We’ve been making a short distance trip to Ithaca as a getaway. Close to State Theatre & restaurants. The waterfalls is a bonus & hypnotic sound to sleep by.

Waterfall Retreat
Overall just perfect location and absolutely loved the sound of the waterfall outside the bedroom window Adequate, Comfortable, Secluded, Clean Excellent little kitchen with all supplies you could ever need The bathroom was very small for average sized people…however the shower was nice and plenty of towels and amenities There are 2 steps up /down to the bedroom Which was fine but could be hazardous if need to use the restroom in the middle of night Glad I brought a nightlight There are 3 steps into the rental so again be aware of this as you carry in luggage and bags My only recommendation is to have the patio area cleaned and set up with table and chairs that are clean would have been nice as it is right by the waterfall Very peaceful and relaxing…enjoyed our stay
