Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Ithaca

Had a wonderful weekend getaway with a friend. The place was cozy, peaceful, and exactly what we needed to unwind. The igloo was the cherry on top, such a unique and fun touch. Would definitely recommend!

This place is truly unique. It's a get away space for musicians who share it when they aren't using it. The place has been built up and settled in. It's gorgeous, the location and the barn architecture. But it's not uptight. It feels like late 60s - early 70s rock and roll, or like classic country music. Maddy's family has a phenomenal record collection and the stereo sounds SO good. The albums we brought came to life there. There's also an excellent book collection, lots of rock and music stuff but also philosophy, literature, eco books, and classic kids book (lots of kids books and a massive toy trunk with toys for kids of all ages!). The kitchen has got pretty much everything you need, and all the basic amenities and appliances. Around about are lots of area lamps, interesting hangings, colored glass, rugs, throws, and well cared for house plants. Finally, the pond and field have not been chemical killed. So, there are lots of birds, frogs, fish, and nests.

Absolutely breathtaking surroundings and view, quiet, peaceful, and everything described plus more! I'm ocd and usually leave anywhere I stay cleaner than I found it but I couldn't find anything that I could clean. It was spotless!!! We didn't want to leave. The hosts were amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I've been on numerous airbnb trips and this was the most beautiful. Can't wait to come back! Thank you so much!

This was a great house in a great location. Communication from owners was excellent, and house was well set up for guests. Would definitely stay here again.

Daura’s house was wonderful, we had lots of room for everyone, they were great about our dog and very responsive when we needed them . Lost for the kids to do. We had everything we needed . Kids loved everything about the house . We will be back .

This is by far one of the best Airbnb homes we’ve stayed at. It was super clean, looked exactly like the photos, and was no more than 20 minutes away from everything we wanted to visit. We were traveling with a toddler and they even had baby gear prepared!

Really enjoyed our time at Kristina’s place! Just about 10 minutes outside of Ithaca it made for the perfect hub to see all the sites the area has to offer. We particularly enjoyed Taughannock Falls and East Ithaca’s recreation trail (both stroller accessible). Food in the area was also amazing - highly recommend CDMX tacos and Maru Ramen as well at CBT/Ithaca Bakery! As far as the rental, we had our 8 month old son and two dogs along for the trip. Kristina had a high chair, tub and crib available for use! We didn’t end up using the crib, but the high chair and tub were extremely useful and made life much easier while we were there! Couch was very comfy after a day of exploring! Big back yard also made our two dogs very happy! Highly recommend Kristina’s place!

Thank you Adam and Kelly! We had a wonderful stay for our 30th reunion at Cornell, and your house was perfect for our group of four. The surroundings were gorgeous and the beds are very comfortable. The fridge was amazingly well-stocked, including farm-fresh eggs, and the kitchen well-equipped for those who want to self-cater. The deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee—nothing quite beats hearing bird song as a way of starting your day. We all loved it and highly recommend this tranquil treasure!

Staying at this charming little cottage near the Finger Lakes was an absolute delight. The moment we arrived, I felt as if I’d been transported to Scandinavia, surrounded by serene natural beauty and peaceful views. The quiet sounds of nature made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Alicia was incredibly friendly, responsive, and accommodating, making sure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Without a doubt, this is a 10 out of 10 experience, and we can’t wait to return for a longer visit to explore more of the property and the surrounding town! Thank you again!

Jagadish's house is amazing. We stayed here for my daughter's graduation and love it. It is spacious and very clean. The gardens are stunning.

So I'll start by giving a glowing review! This was our first Airbnb experience and I feel like Sarah set the bar very high. We had a wonderful stay. We were blown away at how beautiful, pristine and nicely decorated her "Loft" was. It was fully stocked beyond our expectations. there was plenty of things for us to use if we needed them. Her deck outside was just gorgeous with a beautiful view, comfortable chairs and a gas fireplace. Sarah was very attentive and got back to me immediately when I had questions. You could literally forget your toiletries and you wouldn't have to worry because Sarah had them there for you. We were less than 10 minutes away from the heart of Watkins Glen. Easy drive into town. My husband was very impressed with the parking pad that we had right at the base of the stairs to get into the loft. The description of The loft on the Airbnb website was accurate. we loved our first Airbnb experience. we will definitely be back to Sarah's place.

We loved Glenn and Dianna's place. All the furniture, decor, etc. was great for relaxing and unwinding. The deck (with firepit and grill) has a breathaking view of Seneca Lake, and there are so many restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. all within a few miles. Also easy access to Watkins Glen and its walkable, quaint downtown. The message we received for checking in was probably the most detailed and helpful we've gotten from any host. Very precise directions for parking, entering the apartment, etc., and lots of information about local restaurants, wineries, etc. It was a pleasure meeting them both, as they are super friendly and genuinely nice people. It is about a half hour or a little more to Ithaca from here (we were in the area for our daughter's college graduation), with an easy trip over scenic back roads. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque, private and comfortable spot in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

Our stay at Ron's was beautiful! I absolutely loved how close we were to Watkins Glen and the fact that we could see the lake from our doorstep! Would stay with Ron again :) Huge pros: • It's super close to Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake • Amazing firepit setup! Setup smartly such that the smoke only blows one direction so you can stay out of it • Well stocked with everything — bathroom/kitchen necessities and then some! Some tradeoffs to be aware of: • There's a few steep stairs to get up to the apartment • The water's a bit funky (somewhat sulfurish smell) so we ended up using the bottled gallon of water Ron left us in the fridge and buying some more for our longer stay

Scott was very responsive and helpful, before and during the stay. His friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable to ask questions. The place was exactly as listed with beautiful views and Scott left great recommendations for places to go nearby. While the weather wasn’t as accommodating during my stay, I would love to come back when it is so I could enjoy all the amenities offered. Overall my friends and I had a great stay!

Had a comfortable and peaceful 7 night stay at this lovely apartment. Theresa was friendly, left clear check-in/out instructions, and was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The apartment was tidy and clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable week-long stay. The generous welcome basket was a nice touch. I also appreciated the safe, quiet neighborhood and easy drive to Cornell and nearby shopping/restaurants. Would stay again when in Ithaca!

Loved our stay at Allison's place. The lakefront location was unbeatable! Property was exactly as described. It was very spacious and comfortable. We hope to return!

Third time here! Beautiful property - so quiet and peaceful with views for days! Beautiful well taken care of cabin- easy to feel right at home. Plenty to do in the area!

Very nice stay in a quiet and peaceful location.

What a lovely place!! It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing some wildlife! Perfect for our little getaway in the woods.

Great place to visit. The host was super responsive and generously left fresh farm eggs for us! The place is cute and comfortable and on a farm. We booked this super last minute and they were beyond accommodating! Allowed flexible check out and was really helpful with local recommendations. The bed was really comfortable and the place was spotless. Only a 5 minute drive to Watkins glen! Highly recommend!!

Stayed for Memorial Day weekend with my wife. Nice romantic getaway, close to Watkins Glen State Park and local wineries. Great view of the lake and sunset. Very clean little cabin, exactly as described. Will definitely consider again. Tip- save enough hot water for your partner to shower!

Loved, loved, loved this place! Can't say I've stayed in a log cabin before, but Sarah's place looked and felt quite cozy. There was plenty of room for the five of us, and we had a great time. It had everything we needed, and Sarah was also quick to respond on any questions that we had. The screened-in porch and easy access to the lake were big pluses, and I personally took advantage of them a couple of times. If you're reading this review as a traveler, make sure to book this place if it comes up because you'll love it too.

Joe's property exceeded all expectations by a mile. VERY comfy, cozy, and clean! As soon as we "checked in", we were wishing we'd reserved it for more than one night. Especially with all that the area has to offer. Very convenient to Hammondsport, Point of the Bluff Music venue/vineyard, and Bully Hill. There are few AirBnB properties that we've stayed, where we would have come just for the property, itself... this is one of them. Very well appointed... all the details have been thought of here, from the screened in porch, and the fireplace in the living area, to the quiet out-of-the-way space in the loft. As fairly new empty-nesters who now have more space than we know what to do with, as well as soon-to-be retirees, wifey and I agreed that we could see ourselves being quite content retiring in just such a space. Two thumbs up... way up!

Great, cosy cabin. Exceeded our expectations for a weekend getaway from Toronto. The cabin is clean and has nice amenities! If you're looking for a fun place to stay, this is it!
