The perfect location for visiting both Ithaca College and Cornell University. The space was bright, clean, with a lovely spacious feeling. We enjoyed hosting a group of incoming juniors with a bbq and game night. Close to many gorges. I will definitely be staying there again. Perfect!

Clean nicely equipped
This is a roomy VRBO that is clean and very well stocked. The landlord is excellent to deal with and very timely with responses. Location is quiet and not far from many of the activities Ithaca has to offer. Off street parking is a bonus! The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is the beds are not real comfortable. The primary bed definitely sags on both sides.

Clean, Comfortable, and Pet-Friendly
We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, spacious, and exactly what we needed for a comfortable family getaway. The layout worked perfectly for our two families, and we were so happy to find a pet-friendly spot that welcomed our dog. The air conditioning kept the space cool during a hot weekend, and everything was just as described. Great location in Ithaca and an easy, enjoyable stay overall—we’d come back!
