We had a wonderful family reunion made possible by the flexibility of the attendees in dealing with the house’s shortcomings. The views were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the living room, dining room and on the deck.There are no “twin beds” in living room 1 – these are just the pink couch cushions. No “double sofa beds” in living room 2 – these are the extended chaises. One bedroom had the a/c apart and a hose running down to a tub on the nightstand; couldn’t open the windows because no screen on one and the other was broken. Another had no curtain on the large window. Another had a curtain rod hanging down and no curtain on the smaller window. Master bathroom has no wall in the shower area and opens into the bedroom - unclear if not finished or by design. One bedroom has no a/c unit at all (and it was high 90s) and you can’t open the windows because there are no screens. One bedroom had a dirty/stained bedspread. Beds were comfy though.Kitchen: plenty of coffee mugs but no real drinking glasses – only mason jars, 3 wine glasses. Only 1 salad-size bowl making it hard to cook for a large crowd. There was no cupboard space for our food so we had to leave it on the counter but with no shades on the windows, the sun coming in was an issue. The grill was missing 2 of the 3 grates again making it hard to cook for a crowd. Kitchen faucet leaked non-stop and squealed when someone took a shower.Internet is slow (the IT professionals with us measured it).

Fantastic and scenic property, we made great memories staying here!

Very unique and very beautiful home. The view of Cayuga Lake and Cornell is amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the sunset as we ate dinner and enjoyed cocktails on the beautiful spacious deck. All the cool features in the listing and in the photos are even cooler in real life. The kids had a blast as did the adults. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The house was very clean. I would definitely stay again when visiting Ithaca with a large group. I definitely recommend to a large family or group of friends visiting for graduation or reunion.

Upon a first look, the house and the view was spectacular! However, as we looked with more detail, they were quite a few unfinished projects and hazards on the property. There was construction material in the driveway, nails scattered about near the lawn, a hole in the master bathroom shower wall, among other works in progress. The stair railing was not finished on the main stairs and was an hazard for the small children that were staying there. Unfortunately, there appeared to be no cleaning done prior to our arrival. Our guests had a dirty bedsheets, and a shortage of towels. The kitchen did not have working cold water for the first day and the fridge was full of the hosts food/drinks. The property manager was helpful and generally receptive to fixing the issues. Communication with the host was good up until the day of check-in, where it felt that he had forgotten about our booking. We had rented this property for our wedding, which we had communicated to the host multiple times and had an expectation that the property would be ready and fully functional for this event. We booked this property 10 months in advance and were unfortunately disappointed in the state of the property and house. While there is a lot of potential for this property, the work needs to be completed before renting out as a completed “luxury” property.
