Paddock House was really nice for our family vacation (2 adults, 2 kids under 8). The location can’t be beat! We were close to everything and appreciated the walkable neighborhood. Michael was super attentive and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend. Stay here!

Great Ithaca location

Paddock house was a lovely, comfortable, and spotlessly clean vacation home in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Ithaca. The host Michael was accessible and helpful. The location is great for families - walking distance to restaurants, playgrounds, and museums. Would stay here again!

Perfect spot for an Ithaca getaway

Quaint 1920's Ithaca home with lots of original charm. Very thoughtfully appointed. Host is great - communicative, responsive, kind. Easy walk to coffee, food, and the falls. There is a ramp leading out to the backyard which was great for our elderly dog. We stayed there with our 4yr old son and he had a blast; he's still talking about "the vacation house" days later.

Quaint home in lovely historic Fall Creek; close to everything

Paddock House is a restored older home in the historic Fall Creek section of Ithaca. Easy parking in the driveway. The house is located on a quiet, tree-lined street with many charming homes; the neighborhood overall has an artistic, bohemian vibe and is very walk-able. It was an easy (and flat) walk to lovely Ithaca Falls, coffee shop, restaurant and Farmers Market, and was an easy drive to main streets connecting to downtown Ithaca, Cornell, and Cayuga Lake. Inside, the home has an eclectic mix of old as well as modern furniture. Beds were very comfortable, with high-end linens & towels. We didn't cook during our visit, but the kitchen appeared to be equipped with all the equipment needed. The fenced-in back yard was great for our dog! Owner Michael was extremely responsive and was super-helpful in sharing ideas on places to go in the area. We did run into some challenges with WiFi connectivity, but Michael helped with a short-term fix and he is working on a longer-term solution. The outside weather dropped to mid-30s for 2 of the nights we were there and upstairs did get cold, but it was comfortable once outside temps returned to 'normal'. Overall it was a fun place to stay for our visit to the Fingerlakes region!

Ithaca house

The property was nice and comfortable. Fairly close to places we wanted to go. Fenced in backyard for our dogs. Michael gave us some tips on navigating popular spots. We had internet/tv issues so movies and football were nearly impossible to watch. Micheal tried to remedy it. Cell service also spotty here.

Excellent value—homey, clean, & comfortable stay. Super-attentive & communicative host!

We had an awesome stay at Paddock House. Michael is a fantastic communicator—clear, detailed, responsive, and courteous. He even dropped off some lovely baked goods as we were checking out. The house was wonderful—very homey, clean, comfortable, and well equipped. It's a quaint old house that has a nice balance of antique touches and modern conveniences. We used the kitchen to cook meals, enjoyed the fast WiFi, and appreciated the high-quality linens. The location was incredible for Ithaca attractions, such as the farmer's market, great hikes, lake activities, and more. For the four of us, it was also an excellent value. We would definitely come stay here again.

Great Rental + Host, Phenomenal Location

We loved our stay. Michael was a great host - he was helpfully communicative, and everything was extremely clean and prepared. The home was perfect for our group of 3. The location was phenomenal, quiet and private but within a 5 min drive or 20 min walk of both downtown and Cornell university. Being a few streets away from the beautiful fall creek gorge and falls was an additional perk! I would absolutely rent this property again in the future.
