Very place, convenient location
The place was exactly as described and everything we needed. Downtown/commons is walkable but we drove. There's a nice restaurant across the street that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a nice happy hour. The host was a great communicator and the checkin process was a seamless.

Comfortable place, great location
My husband and I had a comfortable, enjoyable stay. The house is very clean and in a great location, easy to get to the very close by Ithaca Commons and Buttermilk Falls State Park, as well as basic retail needs. There is some unfinished work still ongoing at the house but it didn’t interfere with our enjoyment.

Great House, great neighborhood
Even though there is still some work going on at the house (especially in the garden, outside) it is a really cozy and nice house in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to all amenities (shops, commons...) needed. Thank You Melissa for a great time in Ithaca.

Perfect spot for a family gathering
We came from out of state for a family event and wanted a house for us and our adult kids. We wanted a place close to town, with air conditioning. This place is well located, newly renovated, and has a terrific back yard, spacious and private. This house was great and we would highly recommend it.

Great location
House is newly remodeled, so there was some residual saw dust and unfinished work. Great location, probably the only downside was the only bathroom is downstairs and both bedrooms are upstairs. My mother in law was with us and doing stairs in middle of the night at 75 was a bit tricky!

Lovely stay!
My friend and I had a lovely 3 day stay at this property! Everything is very fresh and new as the property has been recently renovated. The backyard is beautiful, full of plants and lots of places to sit. The beds are very comfortable (not always the case with rental properties!) and the parking is good. We spent an afternoon in nearby Owego, which is worth the drive. Adorable shops and several restaurants. Ithaca itself had several nice places to eat, as well. Great place to stay!

Great house in a convenient location
This is a great property when looking to stay in Ithaca. It was extremely convenient to get downtown, as well as close to many parks for hiking. The property managers were wonderful and checked in on us during our stay. The home is comfy and the open floor plan was great. An outdoor space was available for hanging out and relaxing. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend!
