This was acquaint, cute and comfortable house! It was far enough out of Ithaca for peace and quiet yet very convenient to get to attractions and get necessary items. We would stay there again!

great weekend get away
This property is located outside of Ithaca for a quieter vibe yet within a 5-10 minute drive from Cayuga Lake and downtown. It was easy to navigate, great communication, and perfect for a girls getaway weekend!

Lovely cottage in excellent location
Fairy-Tale cottage, tastefully decorated inside and out, close to Ithaca and Cornell University. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Host was also lovely and super-responsive.

Beautiful property, very easy checkin and the communication with the owner was great. Very close to town but far enough out where there isn’t a lot of commotion.

Fun and spacious renovated bakery!
We had a fantastic stay at the Timber Garden Cottage. Its location is perfect--not right in the downtown area, but conveniently close. It was also a good base for driving out to several area waterfalls. The living area is laid out as an "L" and was spacious with super-comfortable couches. There was a pretty garden with a couple of Adirondack chairs to enjoy a drink outdoors. The beds and bedding were high-quality and comfortable. We didn't cook while we were there, but coffee, tea, sugar, ice, a few welcome snacks, and some miscellaneous staples left by other tenants were there on arrival, and I was envious of the professional gas stove, left over from this property's former identity as the Wild Flour Baked Goods company. Be prepared to use a French press if you are a coffee drinker; if you aren't, bring a small coffeemaker with you! The AC is window mounted and supplemented by fans, but even with a loft and a heat warning, the house stayed comfortably cool. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return during high flow time in the spring or early summer.

We loved our stay at the Timber Garden Cottage It was close enough to downtown but too close. We loved being in the quiet outside of the downtown but loved we could fry to it easily. We will absolutely rent again when we go up to see our student.

A beautiful stay
We had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully crafted and spacious. We enjoyed the outdoor patio next to the gardens with a glass of wine. The location is perfect - close to downtown Ithaca, but far enough away that you don't know its there. Close to the lake and many wineries and breweries. We had a nice time at Bet the Farm Winery, which is just a skip down the side road. We also enjoyed Knapp Winery, Goose Watch Winery, Liquid State Brewery, Buttermilk Falls and Taghaunick Falls. We hope to come back again!

Charming and Unique
We enjoyed our stay. Great location. The cottage is exactly as described, very charming. The mattress and linens are high quality and comfy. Probably the nicest most contemporary bathroom we've had in a private rental. Audra provided full sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and toilet paper. More generous than a high end hotel. Plenty of glassware, dishes etc. and all very clean. Audra was nice enough to leave some healthy snacks in the counter bowl to welcome us. If I had to leave one constructive critique - some of the pots/cookware were grimy. Probably due to not being used in a while or whomever did use last did a rush job washing. Easily remedied and small issue in the scheme of things. It gave me a great excuse not to cook much :) Plenty of cleaning supplies were provided so we could clean up throughout our week's stay, if needed. Overall, cozy and enjoyable. We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Timber Garden Cottage. It was the perfect location for all the sightseeing we wanted to do, including Buttermilk Falls State Park, Robert H. Treman State Park, Taughannok State Park, the Sheldrake Winery, and the Fingerlakes Cider House. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated, cute, clean and comfortable!

Cozy & Comfy
Over all we loved the rental! We slept well after we hiked 3 water falls, and visited both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Several items could have better .... such as a Keurig with coffee cups instead of the "French Press" coffee. All & all we had a wonderful time!

Cozy Getaway
My spouse and I stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the post and beam interior and its unique decor. It is located on a busy road, but we really didn't notice the traffic noise while inside. It is conveniently close to Ithaca where we dined at the Ithaca Bakery (would recommend visiting there) and the Moosewood Restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is also very close to many beautiful waterfalls which we visited. All in all, a great place to visit and a really nice cottage to enjoy after our outings.

Ithaca getaway
This VRBO was cute. A couple of comments/suggestions…since the floor is concrete, I definitely suggest some more area rugs as floor got chilly in the morning and evening. Secondly, lots of lightbulbs were out in the rental. The 2nd floor loft was nice but floorboards were very creaky so if someone got up during the night to use the bathroom the other person definitely was woken up even though we tried to be quiet. Bathroom was updated and nice with nice amenities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as only 8 minutes or so from downtown, wineries and hiking places. It was a different VRBO for us with its unique charm.

Nice House just outside of Ithaca
This was a bakery and greenhouse business turned small cottage for 2-3 people. Just outside of Ithaca, not far from everything Ithaca has to offer. Beautiful windows and woodwork inside, with a nice loft area for sleeping.

A charming modern cabin within a quick drive to Ithaca
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely and modern property in a peaceful setting. Audra was super easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. If we have one constructive suggestion, it’s to add more light in the bathroom, particularly at the mirrors, where it’s a bit dark for men’s shaving. But the bathroom has been renovated recently and is nicely appointed. The Wi-Fi signal was excellent. This was our first stay at a vacation rental and we’ll be happy to do it again…at this property, if it’s available. Many thanks for a wonderful stay, Audra.

Cozy, sunny spot
This place was perfect for my husband and I over the long weekend of our wedding. It was a nice quiet oasis for the two of us. (I was a little worried that there might be noise from traffic on route 96, but I didn't notice it at all.) The place is just as light as the photographs show. We walked the ~15 minutes down the road to Bet the Farm Winery and didn't have to worry about driving after having a couple glasses in their lovely outdoor seating area.
