Great place

Nice house. Clean, well organized, and nicely appointed. So many features (ping pong, pizza oven, hot tub, etc.) that we felt we underutilized the property. Communications were timely and helpful, creating a low-stress, easy rental experience. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home for a winter getaway!

We rented this house when visiting our son at Cornell. It's about 30 minutes from campus, but it worked out fine because he stayed with us and we didn't need to keep going back and forth. The house is beautiful - very clean, nicely decorated, and lots of thoughtful touches throughout. We especially enjoyed the wood burning stove and hot tub on a chilly February weekend! The kitchen is well equipped and the basement is full of activities for kids and adults alike - foosball, ping pong, card table, darts, board games, and a tv. We skied at Greek Peak and hiked to some of the waterfalls while we were there. Would love to stay at this property again when in the area!

Amazing in Every Way

This is easily one of the best vacation rentals we've ever stayed in, with so much to offer – it's incredibly clean, comfortable, and charming. Daura and Jamal are fantastic hosts and have thought of everything. From the thoughtful notes, to the multiple well-placed refrigerators, to the throw blankets near the many couches and chairs. Not to mention the sound machines in every bedroom. The house itself has a lot of character and we marveled at the architecture. As others have said, the kitchen is very well stocked, which we took full advantage of. We also really enjoyed the hot tub, which was very well maintained. The views are beautiful and despite being remote, there's a great pizza place only 10 minutes away (Covered Bridge Market & Pizzeria – highly recommended!) We really couldn't have asked for anything more – this place is one of a kind.

Perfect

The pictures of this property don’t do it justice. It’s perfection. It even smells new. It’s extremely clean. The owners were very responsive and polite. I stayed with a group of girlfriends. We spent one day at wineries (a bit of a drive) and the next going to waterfalls in Ithaca. Then evenings spent at the beautiful home. Fully stocked kitchen. It even included sheets and towels…which I don’t usually see and it was a great extra. We even tried the wood fire pizza oven and succeeded. Surprisingly. Ha. The house is in a very remote area but close enough to go on adventures if you like. I highly recommend it.

Hands down the best VRBO we have stayed at! Very clean, a kitchen that was well equipped, a lot of extras such at an outside pizza oven, hot tub and such great woodwork and decorating inside this home. Games and area for our granddaughters to have space downstairs too. A true treasure!! They even left us cider and syrup as a welcome gift. A

Beautiful, Well-Built Home

We very much enjoyed our stay at Cayuga Hill Homestead. The hosts communicated promptly and left thoughtful check-in gifts and notes. Everyone who used the kitchen remarked on how well-outfitted it is. The house as a whole is well-appointed. Children especially enjoyed all of the board games, the foosball and ping pong tables, and the soaking tubs, Unlike many Vrbo homes, this house looked and felt new and luxurious. We hope to return in the future.

Another Great Stay!

This was our second stay at the Cayuga Homestead! Despite the rainy weather, everything was excellent. We enjoyed the TV on the main floor and watched many movies and relaxed. Kids had fun playing games in the basement. Kitchen had everything we needed and we took advantage of the waffle maker this time. What a hit! Excellent communication from Daura. Highly recommend!
