This is our second time staying at this property and just like the first time it was great. The home is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The owners are responsive and care about the guests. I would absolutely recommend.
This is a beautiful, spacious home that was clean and perfect for our visit. The hosts were friendly, professional and very communicative. I would recommend this property in a heart beat :)
Family fun weekend with all the amenities and more.
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The house is so much bigger than expected, beautiful and charming, it was fully stocked all the items you’d need and more. The location is convenient to get to Cortland and Ithaca. We will definitely stay here again.
We stayed at this beautifully remodeled home from the 1800’s and had a wonderful visit!
The house is clean, wonderfully decorated, and the beds are comfortable!
The hosts are very receptive!
Thank you so much for being an outstanding host, we had so much fun, the house is so beautiful and relaxing, very clean, spacious and charming, it had everything we needed and more. We definitely recommend it.
We had a family-friend weekend to hike waterfalls and enjoy the fall leaves. Pictures and property descriptions are all accurate , the house cleanliness and accommodations were amazing!! I had a couple questions for the hosts and their response was quick and the check in/out was easy. You can tell they put a lot of work and care into the property. We would stay again!! Thank you!!
We stayed here with our almost adult sons while visiting our Syracuse student. The house is older and has a ton of charm, warm and cozy on this stormy winter weekend. We enjoyed the remoteness of the house; we either cooked or drove into Cortland for dinner. Plenty of comforts including lots of warm blankets and a well equipped kitchen with a cute coffee and tea station set up in the hutch. My musical kiddo very much enjoyed the keyboard in his room!I had to contact the owners about a small leak under a sink and they responded right away and had it fixed quickly. We would absolutely stay here again!
Property was exactly as described in the listing. Great location for our specific trip, only 10/15 minute to Cortland and about the same distance to Ithaca. We’ll certainly book this property again for our future trips to the area.
I had an amazing stay! The house was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything I needed and made me feel right at home. The location was peaceful and convenient, and the hosts were absolutely lovely so friendly, welcoming, and responsive. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place!
Property was delivered in excellent condition, very clean and pictures were a true representation. Plenty of room for a large family. Nice escape in a remote area.
One of a kind experience, an old home renovated well on the inside. Everything was in good shape and condition. Gives the country living experience especially when the cows were grazing in the morning and evening just across the street from the property. Outside garden, lush trees, vibrant flowers were very nice, especially the deck with the grill was good. I do recommend it for families with children. Max and Tiffany were very welcoming, respectful and responsive. Overall a memorable and enjoyable stay.These are recommendations to improve experience and not a concern. The couches had some old stain marks which could have been more spotless clean, not a fan of tubs so 1F bath could also be a stand-in shower, and additional half bath in each floor would keep this booked always. A game room or more outdoor games and board games would have been excellent for kids. Did the stove had a built in air fryer, I wasn't sure. Although the dishwasher was the quietest, some challenges without display and app access.
