The place is beautiful, very clean with good parking. But, the walls are pretty thin and the bed was VERY firm. We could hear the people talking in the next room, and they really weren't being loud or anything.

This place is gorgeous, clean and it has everything a family needs for a weekend getaway, including board games and books. The kitchen had a keurig coffee machine, snacks, utensils and appliances to cook proper meals. The room had its own thermostat and blankets for winter. I would only suggest to offfer paper cups for the coffee for those who need to leave early morning. The lock instructions were clear too.

Everything was awesome! We were the only ones there this time other people had already left, so we basically have the whole house to ourselves. The rooms were all clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this place. It’s a little gem that you wouldn’t think of staying, and it’s very close to Ithaca just miles away.
Outside, but it was very foggy and it started to snow when we were there.
Looking into the kitchen from the sitting room
The view when you first walk into the main door. Right away we felt very comfortable and cozy.
