Family Getaway

This charming farmhouse was just what we needed for a weekend getaway for my husband, adult daughter, and our younger daughter as well. It was the perfect location for our points of interest. Well appointed, clean, comfortable, and indeed charming. Cate was proactive to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this property.

Perfect home with beautiful features

This home was beyond charming, full of character, and a perfect fit for our family of five. The home is tastefully redone and was a perfect hub for our adventures in Finger Lakes/Ithaca region. We enjoyed the games provided, grill, backyard, kitchen, fire pit, and charming upstairs. Kids were able to stay in one room and us in other primary. The home also had great fragrances and decor. We truly enjoyed our stay and the management did a great job
