1 Bedroom Cottage in Northwest Ithaca, Ithaca

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. The two main apartments are vacant. The entire property will be private to you and your guests. Please note there is no access to the main home, you will only have access to the cottage.
The cottage has two private entrances (one in the bedroom) and plenty of parking. The BEST part is the gorgeous waterfall just outside and the breathtaking views of Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and the parks below.
The cottage has a master bedroom (three stairs up from living room) with a queen-size bed and a big window overlooking your very own waterfall! You can open the window to hear the beautiful sounds of the waterfall as you sleep!
**Please note: for very tall persons (6ft+) the ceiling in the bedroom is lower than most.**
The front door of the cottage enters (about five steps up) into the living room with plenty of natural light and scenery. Two futons can become full-size beds, perfect for additional guests or children.
The dining nook can seat up to 6. Extra chairs are located in the large closet in the living room. The cottage comes with a full kitchen with all needed dishes, including pots and pans. We have a Ninja drip style coffee pot, toaster, tea kettle, microwave, and all essentials needed for cooking. Coffee, sugar, and creamer is provided.
Guest have a nice yard space right next to the backyard waterfall with a fire pit and outdoor table and chairs. We have lanterns for light and mosquito repellent.
We do allow pets, up to two dogs and we do not have any breed or size limits. We do have a modest $15 per night pet fee. We do ask that you clean up after your pets outside.
Full self check in is our standard which is very easy, the lock box code will be sent in your booking details. Our check-in letter 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:
**The driveway is a bit steep. Please use caution when entering, stay close to the mailbox side when entering and exiting for the smoothest possible experience.
Our only expectations for guests are to take out garbage and recycling upon check-out, dishes washed, and gather dirty towels and place in a single spot on the floor.
No need to make the bed before you check out as we will be stripping it anyway. However if you would prefer to strip the bed please go ahead!
Plenty of parking available, there is a spot just outside the entrance of the cottage for one vehicle. Additional parking is to the right of the cottage facing the lake. Please do not park on the grass when parking near the entrance. Stay in the gravel to prevent damage to the lawn.
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 (directions are on the fridge inside.)
Regarding the interior of the cottage there is a large storage closet off the living room in which you will find extra dining room chairs, a mattress topper for the futons, a pack-n-play, booster seat, fan, and plenty of extra bedding.
In the bedroom closet, you will find plenty of extra bedding for the futons or bed. On the upper shelf of the closet, you will find lots of extra pillows.
It is my pleasure to help with anything I possibly can to ensure a great stay for you and your guests. If you need anything at all or have questions, please message me!

Summary: Having a panoramic view of the city of Ithaca, Cayuga lake and a waterfall makes this property heaven for any nature lover. Our dogs had a wonderful time as well. The cabin is very close to great restaurants and other waterfalls and trails, which is an added value. Tia was a wonderful host, super responsive, caring, and kind. The cabin was rustic and cozy, which was perfect for us. We can't wait to go back!

Summary: I think this must be a great property in the summer. I do think it should either not be rented in the winter or more actively maintained for winter conditions. I will definitely recommend to anyone but personally won’t stay here again for what might seem a minor reason- no curtains closed completely and I felt Very vulnerable and was woken up so early.

Summary: This property is exactly as described. Small and cozy. Older property but clean with sort of a Maine camp vibe. Allows dogs. And yes there is a waterfall/gorge right next to it. Nice lake view too. Plenty of parking and safe neighborhood. Easy check in and check out. We enjoyed our stay.

Summary: …. Well, not exactly in “woods” but a very private setting , and for this “nature lover” traveler it was a great find. The private waterfall was amazing and I could hear it with windows opened and to see the Lake from my perch out the bedroom door was awesome also. It is cabin-like and not modernized - almost like it is stuck in time - but it was a warm and cozy place to come back to after day time site seeing - visiting Cornell, Ithaca, tons of parks and waterfalls - lots to do and see in the area. The “cabin” is up against a house that is vacant and mostly dark - but I was grateful actually for the darkness because I could see the stars and appreciate the evenings without light pollution or annoying lights that I couldn’t turn off or dim. There is one bright light on the front but luckily it wasn’t distracting and probably there for safety. The yard is expansive and private. Lots of wildlife: deer, birds, etc. I appreciated that the yard was a bit overgrown because it attracted lots of songbirds and afforded privacy. Loves the trees !!!! Pay attention to the mailbox to find your way back at night …Drive is easy to miss and actually the main road is not too easy to pull into or out of because traffic on the main road moves fast. But the privacy and quiet of the house and then the ability to be on a main road quickly was fantastic. Communication with the host was excellent.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The outdoor space was great with views of a waterfall, the river and the city in the distance. The space was just the right size for a couple to stay with extra room for local family to visit for meals and hangout time. I wish we had more time to explore the trail around the property. The property was close enough to Cornell without being near the party areas of campus and it felt very private despite having more than one unit. The host was great at communicating and had plenty of instructions and even offered to share any entertainment ideas should we need them.

Summary: Was the perfect location in the middle of everything we wanted to do! The cottage had lovely cabin vibes with all the amenities of home. The backyard water fall was gorgeous. Our dog loved smelling around the yard. We promised ourselves to spend more time in Ithaca in the future and know we’ll have a great place to stay.
