The place was beyond any expectation!! Cozy cute comfortable and very clean. The beds were so comfy, fluffy towels, and the vibes you'd expect from your grandma's home. Highly recommend!
The barn was spectacular. Easy entry and parking, beautiful setting, decorated very tastefully. Comfortable room with soft bedding and thoughtful toiletries. Common areas were inviting. I highly recommend this property!
This place is gorgeous, clean and it has everything a family needs for a weekend getaway, including board games and books. The kitchen had a keurig coffee machine, snacks, utensils and appliances to cook proper meals. The room had its own thermostat and blankets for winter. I would only suggest to offfer paper cups for the coffee for those who need to leave early morning. The lock instructions were clear too.
The pictures online don’t do it justice. I had a short stay but would without a doubt stay again if i’m in the area. Clean, beautiful, safe , affordable, accommodating, great communication with owner. 10/10
Amazing place to stay close to Ithaca and waterfalls everywhere. Hope to visit again soon.

Everything was awesome! We were the only ones there this time other people had already left, so we basically have the whole house to ourselves. The rooms were all clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this place. It’s a little gem that you wouldn’t think of staying, and it’s very close to Ithaca just miles away.
