Nice place

Was excited to stay based on reviews. Arrived without getting any info on checkin or a contact. Were several guys staying there who helped figure out keypad for our room and front door. They were nice but i was glad not to be alone. Had problem with keycode and my kid being stuck in room. Otherwise, was quiet, comfortable and nice place.

The owner set up a bed for our daughter after I made the mistake of booking a single queen room. It was perfect for our family of 3! Great location, cozy, and welcoming, and we really appreciated having the stocked kitchen for breakfast.

I stumbled upon this property and I was beyond impressed with everything. Absolutely beautiful property inside and out. I am going to return very soon. It’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the Yellow Barn! This will become my my go to for “local” getaway adventures. Loved every single thing about this place.

We have stayed here often, and what we like most is that it's very homey, and we feel at home. It's a beautiful property, and the owners/hosts are always available if there are any issues. It's also very clean, and it has everything we need. We will continue to stay there!

Our new go-to

Our second stay at Yellow Barn. Immaculately kept and convenient for visiting Ithaca College. Little snafu with our key code, but quickly and easily resolved.

Perfect and affordable stay

Room in beautiful house on beautiful property! As long as you buy-in to the communal aspects/respect of the house, you will love it. Perfect base while visiting child at Ithaca College. It was immaculate. Not a speck of dust anywhere. The property manager does a fantastic job. Would absolutely stay again.

All dishes etc are dusty and dirty. Kitchen sink was filthy all around it. Dish soap bottle was disgusting! Had to call about how to work TV to find out remote is missing so he looked in furniture to find food instead. When I first walked into our room I thought it was cleaned as bed was made so sloppy. I pull comforter up find I'm hoping clean shets but they were so wrinkle they looked like someone slept in them. We were the only ones there first night then another guy came second night if you had rooms filled you would hear people walking and talking as the floors are that creaky. Public area large fan was filthy. All window unit AC were still in at the end of November and so much cold air was coming in. The fake flowers outside were very tacky. The driveway was a sheet of ice we mentioned it to Christian his response was "I'm not about to throw ice down". I guess he would rather someone fell instead. So we parked right next to building not in the designated parking spots. There were no pastries like website stated yet there was food in fridge qnd on shelves that I wouldn't think people would ever touch. Main level bath had hole in wall with a board with many nails leaning in there. We are originally from Ithaca and come back 3-4 times a year and thought we try this because the price was right but with the location and quality wouldn't stay again. We wanted a king but it said it was available yet no one was using it! Not sure how reviews are staying its clean!
