One-Of-A-Kind Yurt Surrounded by Waterfalls

Climbing Vine Cottage is a custom-designed yurt surrounded by gardens, orchards bird and butterflies near our home. The yurt features a fully equipped, eat-in kitchen (includes award winning, locally roasted coffee) with seating for 6. The bathroom is stocked with towels, local soap, shampoo, etc. Sleeping accommodations include a lovely master bedroom (queen size bed) with Smart TV, fold out futon bed in the living room (full size) and two twin beds in the loft. In the winter months the yurt stays cozy with a high efficiency ductless mini-split. You can adjust the themostat but otherwise you don't have to do anything to enjoy a cool yurt in the summer and a cozy yurt in the winter! There's also a thermostat-controlled wood pellet stove (pellets are provided) for nights when you want a flickering fire. Summer stays cool with mini-split in the main living area and a window unit in the master bedroom just use fans and throw open the french doors. The stone patio offers outdoor dining, a gas grill and fire pit. The wildflower field, only steps away, connects to a nature preserve and Van Buskirk Gorge with many waterfalls. High speed wireless internet is also included.

Beautiful Cottage Seeks Ideal Guest: Comfortable, artfully designed, hand crafted yurt nestled into vibrant garden seeks visitors for memorable stay. If you like nature, hiking and gorge walks, if you are tired of cookie cutter hotel rooms or antique stuffed B & B's, if you want something unique and delightful let's get together for one night or many weeks! Hey, I know I'm just a 'luxury apartment in the round' but who says places can't have personality! Please write my caretaker and come visit me!

Talk About Kid Friendly!: Climbing Vine Cottage began as a playground and school for young gardeners. Small hands helped grow fruits, vegetables and flowers for their families and our local soup kitchen Loaves and Fishes. Children raised butterflies, caught frogs and identified bugs with the yurt as our indoor classroom. Children will be delighted to sit at the child's table for 4 and use the beading and drawing materials or play with the games and puzzles. There's a play kitchen, tea set and apron, plus baskets with legos, blocks and a well-stocked children's book shelf. Additionally you'll find kid-friendly-adaptive-devices like a step stool, potty seat, and low bench.

For adults without kids don't worry, when we know you're coming we place these materials out of the way, on shelves, etc.

Perfect for a Romantic Getaway: Climbing Vine Cottage makes it easy to find the time for each other. Cook together in a beautiful kitchen or get take out. Cozy up by the fire or climb in bed and watch tv. Better yet, climb up to the loft to watch the stars. Explore the forest and gorge in privacy surrounded by peace and beauty.

Short Getaway - Close to Ithaca
The property was beautiful. Short paths to stroll and we had the opportunity to pick fresh apples and pears to enjoy with our meals. Very cozy yurt that had everything we needed. Acommodating and helpful host! We would certainly come back again.

Birthday celebration
The owner, Michelle was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. We loved being able to bring our lab as we spent our days hiking in the State Parks. We also spent much time admiring the many waterfalls, visiting Cornell University and the Botanic Gardens. The yurt was a bit pricy for the the accommodations and the kitchen lacked a few items needed for preparing meals. It was nice to have the smart tv to watch the Bills game on Sunday.

Great Stay Outside Ithaca
The (3-6 person) yurt experience is truly wonderful. The yurt itself has an herb garden and 2 koi ponds onsite. Michelle is a gracious and kind hostess who ensured we were well taken care of. The yurt itself is very clean and comfortable and even comes with fresh local coffee! Based on the season, you may need insect (tick) repellent if you plan to traipse through the wildflower fields and woods nearby. We would love to stay here again and hope to do so in the near future.

Magical Yurt Stay
We had such a wonderful family vacation at the Climbing Vine Cottage. The host provided coloring supplies, toys, & books for our children. My husband & I enjoyed relaxing in front of the pellet stove. & to our surprise, we even experienced our first snow of the season during our stay. So grateful for the hosts quick responses & recommendations for local restaurants & activities. I highly recommend this spot for your next family getaway!

BeaYURTiful!
This adorable yurt was CLEAN and comfortable. We really loved the interior spaciousness and the cozy loft for the kids, as well as the beautiful central skylight. Our favorite part, though, was our SUPERhost Michelle. She was the perfect balance of available without being in-your-face. She was incredible with our kids teaching them how to feed chickens, gather eggs, tell the difference between koi fish and goldfish, and pick raspberries and zucchinis. She also went out of her way to show us the hiking path to the wonderful secluded waterfalls ten minutes from the yurt. Extra bonus treats were the natural soaps and cleansers in the yurt, the fridge dispenser with cold water ready-to-go, and the fully stocked kitchen where we were able to cook a feast every night. Thanks, Michelle, for a fantastic family vacation and treasured memories

Great Location
The yurt was in a quiet location. Close enough to everything that a simple drive brings you to groceries, restaurants, the commons and the waterfalls. Far enough away to enjoy a peaceful bbq at the end of the day. Clean yurt, and Michelle was very responsive when we had a question. We hope to enjoy her yurt again some day soon!

Relaxing and Beautiful
The yurt is lovely and extremely comfortable. I stayed with my 12 yr old son who was delighted with the loft. It feels very remote but it's also very close to town. Michelle is very friendly and helpful. There is so much to see and do in the area! It's very difficult to choose just a few different things. It's one of the best stays I've ever had, and we hope to be able to go back again!

Michelle has done a great job with the yurt. Having real walls inside makes it feel more like a home; while the loft and big skylight in the middle makes it feel like an adventure. My kids loved feeding the fish and chickens. Michele is a fantastic host. Only minutes from Ithaca, it was a great place to explore from.

Fantastic stay!
What a cute, cozy, secluded stay! So close to Ithaca - only 15 minute drive to all groceries, restaurants and shops! Just as close to parks and wineries, so much to do! The yurt was THE perfect size for 3 adults…we grilled and had a bonfire almost every night - especially with all the fresh veggies and fruit available from all the local farms. Having the fresh eggs in the morning from the henhouse on the property was the icing on the cake! Absolutely lovely stay…can’t wait to come back with even more friends!
