Family-friendly vacation rentals in Chemung County

We had such a great time. The lake views are beautiful and the proximity to town is excellent. Zoila was attentive and made sure we had all the necessary information and were accommodated for the weekend. There are some things in the house that could use updates but our stay wasn't affected.

We very much enjoyed our stay and the home. Meg was very responsive and helped us with any questions or needs we had during our stay. The house is just as advertised, clean, comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. Two minor issues: bed pillows were thin and hot tub is on the small side for 4 average sized adults. View was exceptional, neighboring houses are not visible from property, so very private. Great place to stay, within 15-20 minutes driving distance to many wineries, distilleries and all the Finger Lakes have to offer. We had a lovely time!

Nicks place is a hidden gem! You are literally on the water and couldn’t ask for better views. The home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We traveled with 2 young children and it was very child friendly with cozy carpeting and gates. The upstairs was a great central layout where everyone could gather and hang out. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean with fluffy towels provided and the beds were comfy with great bedding provided. Hot tub was a great plus. You feel like you are in the middle of no where yet you are 5 min from wineries, Watkins Glen, etc. I even ordered instacart from Weiss with no problems! Definitely will be staying here again :)

Zachary was one of the most helpful, responsive hosts I have come across with incredibly prompt responses to every text/email. From the moment we arrived we had high confidence all would go well and this is 95% of the game as far as I am concerned. We were a bit concerned upon arrival that street noise might be an issue but it turned out to not be at all.

Third time we’ve stayed here and will again! Bucolic surroundings. Halfway between Ithaca and Trumansburg, we find it very convenient to everything. The property is well maintained and David is a fantastic host. We love all the little extras and the quaint decor.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

We had an amazing time at Eshay’s Cabin. It’s in a lovely location. Close to all the beautiful swimming holes and Georges in Ithaca. We will definitely be back. Thank you Eshay.

Another great stay. The house is beautiful, the location is excellent, and everything went smoothly. Plenty of space. A/Cs in every room. Thank you, Eliza!

Fantastic apartment in a great location! Beautifully decorated and well equipped. Street parking was hassle free, very quiet area and streets yet only a short walk to downtown.

Our second time here and we look forward to returning. It is peaceful, cozy, has all comforts of home and is surrounded by great backyard with walking trails that are beautiful. We definitely recommend.

I felt so lucky to have stayed at the Fieldstone Cottage for a second time with my dog Shelby. It's always booked and the last time I was there was October 2020 when I was among the brave and few venturing out and about. How glorious to get back there in Spring this time. The Spring Peepers created a chorus in the evening as we sat and looked at the stars and warmed ourselves at the firepit. In the mornings the birdsong was so peaceful. This is such a warm and inviting place. The stone floors, the wooden beamed ceiling, so earthy and homey. Ray is super responsive and let me check-in early and make a last-minute guest add. The convenience to Ithaca College (or Cornell!) and downtown Ithaca makes this a perfect site for parents wanting to visit college kids, but also wanting an idyllic getaway. Can't wait to get back again!

Beautiful fall getaway. I could not ask for better lakefront views. The cottage is just like the pictures and has all the amenities. Robert had great local recommendations and brought us homemade cookies. We are looking forward to returning again in the future.

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it!

Michele and Andy were friendly, helpful, hospitable hosts, and their farm is beautiful! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend surrounded by their horses, cows, fields and forests. The house itself has rustic, unpolished, handmade charm and is decorated very tastefully. The bed was comfortable, the wood stove was easy to use and helped us stay warm for our winter visit. Michele was accommodating of our arrival and departure times, going out of her way to try to help us adjust plans to match the weather. She was also very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations and information about the area. We highly recommend staying here!

A great outdoorsy and rustic place to stay. Clean with good vibes and relaxing views. Very friendly cats. Outdoor shower was clean with its own heater and had decent water pressure. At night small lights were blinking like fireflies so you could find your way with beautiful ambiance. I would certainly go again here.

Everything there are were perfect, but in one room the blanket had so strong smell of baby pee(

Gratitude and Grace is an escape from the ordinary. Its a beautiful unique property in the country that was just about perfect for me and 7 bridesmaids for my low key Bachelorette. The grounds are lovely and well maintained, as it is normally a wedding venue. The inside of the mansion is eclectic and vintage. Ron is very nice and accommodating as well. Some things i may improve: Soap was watered down in all bathrooms Beds werent exactly comfortable, they seemed very old. Hot tub was just nice, It didnt get very hot though and the water was a bit cloudy The most comfortable bed is in the tiny rennovated garden shed. Although peaceful, we did have to request it be opened so we had the 8th bed as advertised. 2 girls had to bunk up together the 1st night, no big deal but would have been nice to know the 8th bed wasnt automatically available. The 7th bed is a fun loft with a ladder above a king sized bed. It was cute, but the bed was very uncomfortable so no one wanted it.

We loved this place!! There was so many amenities that we weren’t able to use because we weren’t in the house a ton as we were in a wedding, but boy did we miss out on them! We had a perfect stay and would absolutely stay again if we were ever in the area again. No complaints at all!

WE LOVED THE PLACE! Carrie and John were amazing hosts and their wonderful RV elevated our experience and memories that my boyfriend and I will be sure to cherish for a lifetime. For those of you wondering, a bathroom (toilet and shower stall) is located in the RV, however we preferred their bathhouse which was within easy walking distance. Kitchen is fully equipped with basic necessities such as utensils, pots, basic condiments etc. We appreciated the availability of an outdoor gas grill and gas stove that were fully functional. Also it's worthy mentioning there is a fire pit fully stacked with an ample amount of firewood [and a hilly-billy pool which we didn't get to enjoy due to weather]. For those who are planning on a day trip for Ithaca's beautiful scenery, the Buttermilk Falls State Park is about 20 minutes drive; and 15 minutes drive to the nearest Dollar General store should there be any last minute shopping. Overall, Carrie and John were very responsive and accommodating, hel

A great rustic getaway! It was great being between cayuga and seneca lakes - everything was a 20 min drive to see beautiful falls in every direction, great wineries/cideries (finger lakes cider house had amazing food to go with the cider), great restaurants (stonecat and elf in the oak) and Ithaca Farmer's Market (must see - so plan a Sat or Sun there). Sunsets were fabulous from the porch and over the fields and the hens were a joy to experience - so cute - and the gentle Q was so good with our cautious rescue pup. But the best part of the stay was Carey's hospitality - tending to every need and providing great suggestions of things to do/see tailored to our interests and giving us a true taste of the area - with local fresh eggs, fruit, wonderful baked bread, granola, cider, wine, cheese, baked goods and the best yogurt ever! We didn't even miss the tv (during football and world series even)!
