This cozy cottage, with it's rustic charm will instantly make you feel like you have taken a step back in time to a simpler, quieter pace of life.
The cottage is attached to a multi family home, which is two separate apartments, one apartment upstairs and one downstairs. The two main apartments are vacant. Should you book with us, the entire back cottage would be all to you, there is no access to the main home.
The cottage has a private entrance (including additional private bedroom entrance!) and yard and plenty of parking. The BEST part is the gorgeous waterfall just outside and the breathtaking views of Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and parks below.
The cottage has a master bedroom (two stairs up from living room) with a queen-size bed and a big window overlooking your very own waterfall! Please note: for very tall persons (6ft+) the ceiling in the bedroom is lower than most. The front door enters (about five steps up) into a living room with plenty of natural light and scenery. Two futons can become full-size beds perfect for a couple or several kids.
The dining nook can also be enlarged by adding leaves to the table to seat up to 6. Comes with a full kitchen with stocked refrigerator and all the needed appliances providing all the convenience of home. A full bath with a shower/tub.
Guest have their own private yard right next to the backyard waterfall.
Lock box is found mounted on the porch and the code will be inside your booking details after you book. It includes lots of information for your stay so please take a look. If you will be coming in after dark we will be happy to leave the porch light on for you.
Plenty of space all around! Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Only a mile from downtown yet secluded alongside 50 acres of woods overlooking Cayuga Lake.
Other things to note:
Please note we are only 1 mile from downtown, although on a quiet cul-de-sac, butted up against acres and acres of woods, yet it is still a residential area.
If you are looking for total seclusion you will need to look further out of town.
Rather than list numerous rules, we simply expect guests to leave the cottage as you found it. That is- garbage bagged up and taken out, dishes done, and everything picked up and tidied.
No need to make the bed before you check out as we will be stripping it anyway. Make yourself at home! But please respect the space, your neighbors, and each other :)
Plenty of parking, space to walk, and an organic garden next door. You have your own grassy yard outside the cottage. You can sit and enjoy a picnic just outside next to our very own waterfall. (Listed in Ithaca's Must-See Guide)
House manual:
There are 50 acres of woods a short walk from the cottage with a path down to the Black Diamond Trail, that guest are welcome to explore.
