Good to know

This house has been meticulously updated over the past few years. The entire house is available to groups looking for a place to stay and be able to spread out. Because the house has two levels, it is perfect for multiple families with kids coming together or friends needing private bedrooms for each person. The back patio and deck are perfect for eating meals or sipping your morning coffee. The backyard is surrounded by woods and is very private. A little path in the backyard leads to a town park with hiking trails and a playground. This house has a full laundry room right off the kitchen which is available to guests. We do not provide access to the garage unless arranged beforehand.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Quiet dead end road just minutes to Cornell's campus and downtown Ithaca. Our road has no streetlights so it will be dark at night. The path to the lower level is lit at night if you choose to use the back entrance. Close to East Hill plaza, our home is a serene retreat away from the commotion of campus. The backyard has a patio, outdoor table and chairs, and swing set. The upper level deck has a BBQ grill, outdoor table and chairs, and patio set. The home backs up to a town park with hiking trails, playground, basketball courts, and more. Just a short walk to the TCAT bus #51 which runs daily every hour. The bus stop is on the road behind our house and can either be reached by walking through the park, or walking on the road around the block. If you prefer we have parking spots for 3 cars or are an easy Uber/Lyft ride from anywhere in Ithaca. We are close to everything, but walking to Cornell would take well over an hour, so expect to either bring your car, RideShare or use public transportation while here. We are not located downtown, but on East Hill of Ithaca. We are not walking distance to downtown or Cornell, but are a short 5 minute car ride to both. There is a whole laundry room available for your stay with laundry detergent! Nearest Bus stop on #51: 2/10th or 3/10th of a mile. a 5 min walk. Six Mile Creek Vineyard: 1 mile East Hill Plaza/P&C Grocery Store: 1.7 mile Mulholland Wildflower preserve: 2.6 miles Cornell University: 3 miles Ithaca Commons/Downtown 3.4 miles Ithaca College: 4.5 miles (We do not recommend depending on the bus to get to IC.)

We visited with a group of 14. There was not a lot in the area but thankfully we found Jenna’s place. It was perfect for our purposes. Enough master bedrooms for adult and a good mix of smaller rooms for the kids. We cooked and the kitchen is well setup. The grill was a huge help as were the cards and games. It was nice to have two seperate living areas so the group could split up. The back deck was a great spot for coffee and a late night cocktail. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful house to host a large group of friends. I was here with 9 other friends and we had both the upstairs and downstairs locations. The yard was big and great for activities, the deck on the top floor was spacious and great for outdoor cooking and dinner. Everything was clean and our group was quite comfortable with the living room/bedroom arrangements. This location was perfect as a home base and easy to travel/uber to downtown Ithaca. I was also able to organize a wine tour / driver with this location as the pickup/dropoff which made is ideal as well. Jenna, our host, was incredibly responsive and wonderful to talk to. Highly recommend this location with a large group for friends or family.
