Summary: We enjoyed the property, it accommodated our family while we celebrated my granddaughter's graduation from Cornell. One of the reasons I chose this site was that it advertised an outdoor swimming pool. However, it was clear the pool had not been opened for several years. It was not made clear to me that the pool was not functional. Disappointed there, but overall enjoyed our stay.

Summary: I can't express how much we loved staying here. The house is incredibly spacious, the kitchen has everything anyone could possibly need. The grounds are lovely. We had so much fun that we're already talking about coming back. In this day and age, it's really something when your kids rave about a place with no TV! There is wireless, so you're not off the grid, but it's just so pretty that you spend hours enjoying the outside spaces without even noticing the time passing.

Summary: Property was exactly as described and pictured in the listing. Kitchen was well stocked with plates/cups/etc, there was plenty of parking in the driveway plus you could easily turnaround in it so you did not need to backup onto the road, bedrooms were comfortable and the yard was larger than I expected which was great since we stayed with our dog. I appreciated that things in the home were labeled (i.e.:which switch is for which lights). I asked for an early check-in if possible and Joan was very quick to grant it. I traveled to upstate NY to attend my step-son's graduation from Ithaca College and this rental was an easy 25-30 minute drive door-to-door. The town is very small but there is a pizza place, ice cream shop, and gas station/convenience store very close-by. Overall we found the house to be very charming and it was large enough that we did not feel at all cramped. A big thank you to Joan who was terrific communicating before and during our stay!

Summary: Joan and Leo were the perfect hosts to our first foray into the post-vaxxed world of vacations! They were flexible and accommodating; their home is elegant and charming, with comfortable beds and a fully modern and stocked kitchen. My teen sons played foosball and swam in the pool. We cooked and also ate at the great restaurants in Ithaca, a 20 minute (beautiful) drive from their historic home. It's an easy drive to Cornell and Ithaca College. This was by far our best vacation home and we recommend it very highly.
