Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Ithaca

We’ve stayed at another property Evan’s before but decided to try a new one this time. I’m so glad we did! Great host with a beautiful, well-maintained property. Would definitely stay here again!

We have come to visit 3 times now and every time we have, it has always been relaxing and peaceful. We always enjoy fishing, bird watching, and walking the property with our dogs. It is a wonderful and special place. Thanks to Andrew and Sally for being great hosts and sharing their special home.

We really loved the cabin. It was comfortable, clean and really well equipped. The location was perfect - in peaceful surroundings but close enough to Ithaca, Cayuga Lake and the beautiful state parks. Janelle and Aaron are such lovely hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

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 .

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

This is the second time we have stayed at Timothy‘s gorgeous Victorian home. We stayed in a different unit this time and it was just as cozy and clean as the other one. We just love the home, the wood floors, the giant windows and on and on. This is a great location, a quick walk to downtown- coffee, grocery store, restaurants, museums and more. We did have a question for Timothy the first night we arrived and he responded within minutes. He’s a very nice and caring person. We will be staying again :)

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!

This is an older home but very well kept, clean and tidy, with some lovely updates, and just a short stroll from a stunning waterfall. The decor is cozy and welcoming, the neighborhood beautifully quiet and peaceful. The kitchen could be slightly better stocked but was still quite serviceable, and William and his team were very responsive, kind, and helpful hosts--we had a few different issues we needed help with on our trip, and they promptly responded to and resolved all of them with tip-top courtesy! Do note that the listing says the place has window AC, but these aren't installed during the winter, so if you are traveling in late Spring or early Fall, it's worth double-checking with the host before you arrive to make sure the home has them--our nighttime temps were in the upper 60s, but that was still too warm to sleep comfortably in the house without AC.

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.

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!

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 Stay Great Cabin! Everything was clean we felt comfortable there. The hot tub was great after the 2.4 mile walk at Watkins glen. It was too cold for us to kayak but it was nice sitting by the water and chilling. Loved the sound of the water at night.

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!

This was our second time now staying at Sherrys beautiful cabin. We love it here and we can’t wait to come back again soon. We are making this a tradition in our family coming to this amazing property. We had the most peaceful and wonderful weekend here and our dogs absolutely loved being off leash, exploring 200 private acres of land and swimming in the gorgeous pond. Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to come back.
