Cayuga Lake Getaway
This is a wonderful lakeside cabin. The yard is well landscaped and provides excellent privacy from the road and neighbors. The area is gorgeous, a short half mile walk from Long Point Park and also a nice walk from Aurora Brewing Company and Long Point Winery. The long bedroom off the kitchen provides a wonderful view of the lake through giant windows along one wall and a door right out to the deck. The bathroom off of this bedroom is very nicely designed as well, though note the water pressure is somewhat low in the shower. The other full bath had fine water pressure. The living room again has wonderful lake views with a sliding door out to the deck. Kayaks are provided and it is a lovely short kayak trip over to Long Point Park, just under 3 miles one way to kayak north to the Wells College boathouse, and about 2.25 miles across the lake to Thirsty Owl and Cayuga Ridge wineries. A gas grill and a charcoal grill are also available for some outdoor cooking. Brett’s father owns this cabin and he met us at the property for checkin, showed us around the cabin and property and gave us all of the information we needed. Brett handles communication through the airbnb app and he responds to questions very quickly. The cabin is not super fancy (hence cabin) but everything was clean and we didn’t see any insects of any kind inside. I would absolutely rent this cabin again for another weekend on the lake!

Hillside Retreat Walking Distance to Downtown
This Hillside Retreat was the perfect place for my stay. Located near the restaurants and campus. It is within walking distance to the lake. The accommodations were very clean and cozy feeling. More importantly it was very quiet and I felt safe. I would definitely choose Marjorie’s location, if available, if I were to return to the area. Lastly, she was very kind in having a chilled bottle of wine ready for when I arrived!

Historic Farmhouse on Taughannock Gorge
This lovely place was so perfect for my son and I. We loved the living room which felt like our home. The beds were comfy and the rooms cozy. We would definitely return if we are in the area! On Sunday morning before check out, I sat on the sunny porch with my tea. It was so peaceful and lovely. Thank you Karen for your good communication and for the sweet easy-going space.

Private Peaceful Guest Suite in great location!
I really enjoyed staying at Anna's place for the last couple weeks. She was very friendly and I enjoyed the quiet location and peaceful back yard. I also really enjoyed taking runs on the quiet nearby roads passing by cornfields and farms.

Private Apartment: Organic & Fragrance-free
We enjoyed our stay. Erika and Jeremy went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and comfortable. Erika's granola was amazing, and Jeremy's coffee satisfied my husband's coffee needs. My husband is a coffee connoisseur, so he recognized a great cup of coffee! Jeremy knows his stuff when it comes to coffee. The location of this place worked perfectly for us. We spent our days at wineries and restaurants, returning to sleep at night and then head out again in the morning. The location allowed us easy access to all the sights we wished to visit, and Erika and Jeremy's restaurant recommendations were spot on.

1 bdrm Suite, W&D, Country but Close
I've stayed at Karen's place 3 times now and I can't say anything but great things! She is an amazing host, very accommodating, extremely flexible, kind, and has everything that you could need right in the Airbnb! The only bad thing I can think to say is that she is already booked out and I am unable to stay again! I love this place and only wish I could stay more often! 10/10 recommend!

Quiet Garden Retreat, a private studio apartment
Fay's place was perfect for my daughter and I while we visited Cornell. The location is really close to campus and downtown which made going to and from campus dirt easy. Check in was easy with the lockbox and Fay provided restaurant recommendations which we took advantage of. Fay also offered to set up an extra single bed so we could each have our own bed to sleep in. We didn't have a need for the kitchen but it was fully equipped with a stove, fridge and microwave. Would definitely stay here again when in town.

Half-a-house on the Hill
the place was lovely, homey and quiet. Beth was nice and welcoming. we would only stress out that there is no kitchen and so no running water, except in the restroom. this is written out but just needs to be considered by guests. we still managed ok without it. thanks Beth

Suite Serenity romantic getaway with hot tub
Connie’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway! Great location for activities around Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen, and the perfect property for relaxing in between activities or in the evening. Connie was very welcoming and gave lots of great local recommendations. The backyard was beautiful and a great place to spend time winding down. So glad we chose to stay here!

Lakefront Suite on Seneca Lake -Lemonade Springs
We had a great stay with our two friends and their infant at Michele's place. The place was clean and private and we had access to the dock, floats, and paddleboards down by the water. We weren't able to swim much (due to mother nature and by no fault of the host) but had a great time lounging on the dock at the lake. The house is also so close to a lot of great wineries and some breweries in the area all with beautiful views. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Overall it was a really lovely stay and we would definitely come back!

Newly Renovated 1800s Farmhouse
Great location for visiting nearby trails and waterfalls. Sweet and cosy unit. Responsive host. Would like to visit again.

Artsy Lakefront Loft • “The Bird's Nest"
Beautiful lakeside property with excellent views, highly reccomend

New! Charming Songbird Woods Home
Sumei and her husband George were incredibly nice and communicative. No matter what hour of the day or night they responded immediately. Lots of closet space, bed was comfy, temperature controls were easily acceptable. Lovely neighborhood and very private. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again when we are back in Ithaca. It's an 18 minute drive to Cornell campus for those going to see their kids at school.

Hickory Grove Suites
This was our first experience with an Airbnb and it was a great experience! Spent a lovely weekend at Josh's beautiful apartment...with all the comforts of home. We didn't spend much time there however, when we were there, we had everything we needed...comfortable bed, hot shower and coffee in the morning. When we arrived Friday evening, Josh was just arriving home so we had the pleasure of meeting him and visiting for a few minutes. h He is a very nice and friendly young man :-) I must admit, I am not tech savvy, and operating the TV was a challenge as I am not familiar with Roku and don't often watch Netflix or Amazon, but I eventually figured it out (kinda!) Thanks Josh, for the warm welcome and comfortable accommodations. We will definitely be back!

The Tailor's Nook
This was THE best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my fair share of Airbnb experiences. Super easy to find & get in. Everything was clean and fresh, and the place smelled AMAZING! The decor was incredible! There was so much attention to detail. They even had a fan up and running which was great because my partner becomes a furnace when he’s sleeping. They put so much care into this place and offer the best of the best. All the products they offer (like bathroom toiletries) are top notch. We had everything we needed! The bed was also very comfy. The backyard is incredible! It’s like its own mini retreat. So many seating options, not to mention the lovely hot tub! They asked us what we were interested in and offered us some recommendations, which we appreciated. The hosts were SUPER responsive and quick to address any issues! Honestly I don’t know what more we could have asked for, we had the perfect experience - my only regret is we forgot to sign the guest book!

A-frame Acres
Our stay at Kimberly's A-frame in Hector, NY, was nothing short of perfect! The Airbnb was exactly as described—actually, it was even better: super cozy and well-equipped after long days of waterfalls, hiking and wine tastings in the Finger Lakes. Kimberly and her daughter were incredibly helpful, even assisting with a question about a special dinner for my mom's 70th (we ended up at Kindred Fare in Geneva, a bit of a drive but worth it!). The A-frame was so cute that we had a mini photo shoot in front of it! Kimberly’s attention to detail was evident in everything, from thoughtful parking tips to cozy amenities. It was heartwarming to learn her family built the house, and as a longtime Hector resident, she knows the area well. We loved our trip so much that we’re already planning another visit. Highly recommend!

Pet Friendly Seneca Lake Country House & pond
Beautiful place to stay. The home was comfortable. Close to things to do. John gave lots of great recommendations. My husband and I had an amazing time.

Finger Lakes Wine Country Suite
Richelle shared the most all inclusive description of local activities that I have ever received. My husband and I stayed in her lovely spacious first floor guest suite and enjoyed her amazing homemade breakfast. Easy off street parking with a private entrance. She is friendly and generous with her home and wealth of local Finger Lake knowledge.

Convenient Location, Spacious 1-room unit
Joyce was an amazing host. We arrived late at night, she responded and came out immediately to help us check in. Joyce also went out of her way to provide some condiments for me to cook. The place is very clean, quiet, and beautiful. I had a good time staying with Joyce!

Vineyard Villas Suite
Beautiful location and very clean! I would stay here again! I had the chance to explore some great vineyards and breweries nearby!

Stunning Lake View Studio along Serene Seneca Lake
Nice private place to stay around wineries. We had a beautiful view of sunset!
