Rustic, Cozy Cottage with Backyard Waterfall and Cayuga Lake Views!

The cabin was perfect very clean and cozy. We loved the waterfall in the backyeard it was beautiful. So relaxing to sit out at fire at night with the sound of the waterfall. Very private area we loved everything about it. Tia answered any questions we had very quickly. We will definitely be back. The only thing i could say that was wrong was the one airconditioner did not cool the whole cabin maybe one in the bedroom as well would help but not a big deal i loved it.

40th anniversary. Perfect place to stay! Secluded, but close to everything! An amazing waterfall right in backyard!

When we pulled into the property we almost left thinking we got scammed. The property is very overgrown and unmaintained. This was described as a cottage but it's actually an apartment. We didn't use the outdoor area as the table and chairs were dirty, the torches were all broken and the yard was unkept. Not very inviting. The view was obstructed by overgrown trees and weeds. The apartment was clean. The bed was amazing.

…. 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.

The driveway entrance is a little tricky and the road back on the highway is difficult to see traffic . The exterior of the vrbo appears unkempt but inside is clean and comfortable .

Very quiet peaceful weekend. Sat by a fire,and enjoyed listening to the waterfall.

We had a good time renting this property, the backyard waterfalls are beautiful, their sound at anything is incredible, view at Cayuga lake is incredible. Great location close to town, privacy is really appreciate. House matchs the description in the app, but honestly needs a little more of maintenance and some updates, especially in the couches. At this time it would be nice if the foliage in front of the falls were trimmed to have a better appreciation of them. The property has a lot of potential that needs to be improved. Besides that we had a great time.

I thought it odd that we had to make our own beds. A 1st for me using VRBO The vegetation could be trimmed to better enjoy the beautiful backyard waterfall/same for the lakeview Saw four wild turkeys while looking out of our picture window each morning Bed was comfortable. Had restful sleep. Close to town but far enough away to enjoy peaceful setting

It was clean, cozy, driveway at top needs work little rough on car pulling in and out. The view was awsome

What an amazing trip we had in Ithaca thanks to this wonderful cottage! Perfect location (most of our drives were at most 20 minutes), clean inside and out, little waterfall outside the property was AWESOME, just perfect all around.

We enjoyed our stay, spotless and quit, in a very convenient location!Maureen, Jean-Pierre. And Maizie!

This property is pretty run down. Very musty/moldy smell greets you at the door. You can't open many windows, due to only two of them having screens (many bugs to keep out). There is not a decent chair to use...only two uncomfortable futons that are supposed to pass for couches. A/C unit in the living room doesn't do much for the bedroom. Decent bed and bathroom.

Property was clean and quiet. Very responsive host with easy check in process. Nice to just walk outside and enjoy the sounds of the waterfall!

We had a nice relaxing stay, very quiet and peaceful area. Only small problem was the coffee maker wasn't clean, had to spend about 30 minutes cleaning it before using it. Not a huge deal and nice of them to provide filters/coffee.

The property is older and the interior was extremely clean and well cared for. It is located minutes from downtown Ithaca which is very convenient. The check in and checkout process was extremely simple The host was very quick to respond to all text/email.

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.

We were met by the owner as we entered the area. The house was charming, exceptionally clean, and provided everything we would need for a comfortable visit. Very cozy!

Overall just perfect location and absolutely loved the sound of the waterfall outside the bedroom window Adequate, Comfortable, Secluded, Clean Excellent little kitchen with all supplies you could ever need The bathroom was very small for average sized people…however the shower was nice and plenty of towels and amenities There are 2 steps up /down to the bedroom Which was fine but could be hazardous if need to use the restroom in the middle of night Glad I brought a nightlight There are 3 steps into the rental so again be aware of this as you carry in luggage and bags My only recommendation is to have the patio area cleaned and set up with table and chairs that are clean would have been nice as it is right by the waterfall Very peaceful and relaxing…enjoyed our stay

My husband and I stayed here for a three day weekend. It is minutes from the city of Ithaca and a few state parks. It is also very close to wineries. The queen bed was fairly comfortable. I would not put anyone on the futons unless they are children or young adults. We loved the view of the lake and the waterfall and enjoyed the quietness and seclusion of the property. It is in a neighborhood, but you can barely see the houses on either side. This property looks like a work in progress and the price reflects that. It fit our needs fine and made a great home base after hiking and visiting wineries.

what a great little property within all the comforts. Obv the waterfall is the star, but the little piece of property to relax shouldnt be overlooked.. morning coffee walking from the waterfall view over to the look out over the lake was perfectly relaxing.. The place itself was exactly as described, from the cozy fireplace to the funny little ceilings in the bedroom. Def will be back for a stay next time we take in a show at the State Theater.

I recently stayed at this VRBO listing and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The coziness of the cabin, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty made for a perfect relaxing getaway. The bed was so comfortable and the fireplace really added to the cozy atmosphere. While we enjoyed staying in and chilling out, we also appreciated the convenience of having everything we needed close by. When we decided to venture out to eat, restaurants and conveniences were just a short distance away. I highly recommend this VRBO listing to anyone looking for comfort and convenience in a beautiful natural setting.

Adorable little cottage. It rained all wknd, so after hiking my pups and I relaxed in front of the fire and watched some Netflix. Even with the fog, the views in the backyard were stunning. I hope to return in the fall.

Although the cottage is only one and a half miles from downtown Ithaca, the property is spacious, quiet and private. The cottage is very clean and tidy and apparently recently updated. The property's waterfalls and view of the lake from above make this my best rental ever!

This home is what we expected. Great little attached home with one bedroom. Everything was clean and kitchen was stocked well with utensils and other cooking needs. No well water which is big! Great side yard for a dog with a great view of the lake and an amazing waterfall right behind the house. Thank you for saving our vacation from another VRBO up the road who doesn’t understand what professionalism is all about.

This little hide-away was enhanced by prompt and thoughtful communication with the host.

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!

We loved the view of countryside and backyard waterfall. Also, the yard was big enough to play with our dogs. Charming place and great communication from the hostess.

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.

Everything about the trip was exactly as we’d hoped. So very close to everything, and nestled within gorgeous Ithaca nature. The place was very cozy and the host very responsive :)

Great place for a getaway! Location is great for exploring what Ithaca has to offer. Coming back to this place after a day of adventuring was a treat! It was cozy and comfortable and the proprietor was nothing but wonderful!

This is the most perfect location! Really secluded with your own drive, entrance and waterfall and lake views, but only a 10 minute drive to downtown Ithaca. The property was really comfortable and cosy and really clean. It's really close to both Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen, which are both a must! Cornell is also the most beautiful campus I have seen! I would 100% recommend and I am already dreaming of visiting again!

Between the lake views, the backyard waterfall and the close proximity to downtown Ithaca as well as great hiking, this Vrbo was perfect. Thank you !! We'll definitely be back !!

This cute little place was close to everything we wanted. We had a great time exploring the local area.

Quiet location close to downtown Ithaca.

We enjoyed our stay. Really appreciated being able to have our dogs stay with us. The property is quiet and feels isolated yet it's close to town. The driveway is not easy to find in the dark.
