Property was exactly as described in the listing. Great location for our specific trip, only 10/15 minute to Cortland and about the same distance to Ithaca. We’ll certainly book this property again for our future trips to the area.

Lovely home base in central NY

We stayed here with our almost adult sons while visiting our Syracuse student. The house is older and has a ton of charm, warm and cozy on this stormy winter weekend. We enjoyed the remoteness of the house; we either cooked or drove into Cortland for dinner. Plenty of comforts including lots of warm blankets and a well equipped kitchen with a cute coffee and tea station set up in the hutch. My musical kiddo very much enjoyed the keyboard in his room!I had to contact the owners about a small leak under a sink and they responded right away and had it fixed quickly. We would absolutely stay here again!

One of a kind experience, an old home renovated well on the inside. Everything was in good shape and condition. Gives the country living experience especially when the cows were grazing in the morning and evening just across the street from the property. Outside garden, lush trees, vibrant flowers were very nice, especially the deck with the grill was good. I do recommend it for families with children. Max and Tiffany were very welcoming, respectful and responsive. Overall a memorable and enjoyable stay.These are recommendations to improve experience and not a concern. The couches had some old stain marks which could have been more spotless clean, not a fan of tubs so 1F bath could also be a stand-in shower, and additional half bath in each floor would keep this booked always. A game room or more outdoor games and board games would have been excellent for kids. Did the stove had a built in air fryer, I wasn't sure. Although the dishwasher was the quietest, some challenges without display and app access.
