Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Ithaca

Staying at Mara's house was exactly what we needed to welcome in 2025. The house itself is immaculate, well appointed, comfortable and has incredible lakefront views to tie it all together. Getting around the Cayuga Lake area was so easy from where the house is located and there are even some incredible wineries and breweries minutes away. The layout and setup of the house was very thoughtfully done and everything we needed (and more) was there. 10/10 excellent stay.

This was my 2nd stay with Melanie and Bruce, once again it was perfect. The house is very private in a beautiful wooded area. The house has everything you need, plus thoughtful extras like the campfire wood and starter kit. We really appreciate the 11am check-out time, so many others require 10am and after a weekend of adventures, that extra hour matters!! We will definitely stay with Melanie, Bruce, and the outdoor kitty Nancy, again!

If you like lake life, this is a great spot for you. We are cooks and the kitchen was everything we needed it to be. With each bedroom full having two common areas was nice. The view made us feel at home. Looking forward to future visits if the stars align.

We were looking to host a retreat for the trustees responsible for running a creative problem solving program for kids in the state of New York. Our experience at Heywood Manor was nothing less than exceptional. The location, the house along with its amenities combined with a gracious host made it a memorable weekend. I'm trying to think of a reason to return just to experience it again!

The place was great. It was exactly what we were looking for while visiting family in the area. Joe was responsive and even helpful with some items inadvertently left behind

This AirBnB is a well oiled machine. I knew what to expect, and I did not have any reason to contact the host. I always appreciate it when an AirBnB is setup the way it is advertised and the host does not have unreasonable expectations. This was a lovely stay that my friends and I enjoyed every minute of.

I enjoyed a terrific, albeit brief, stay at Joan's cottage. She was very proactive in her communication, making everything a breeze from check-in to departure. The place itself is very thoughtfully appointed, with lots of appreciated details. It was charming and cozy, and located ideally for my taste: an easy drive into town, right near the lake, and quiet and private. I would absolutely return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay and really loved the house. I really loved that all bedrooms were lake front and had large windows to enjoy the beautiful views. The house was also very clean and well maintained. Diana was a great host and provided information in advance. I had one question when we arrived and she responded almost immediately. It was a great experience.

Just got back from a 4-day stay at this Airbnb with my dog. The place was super clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and it’s a solid location for exploring nearby towns. Christopher was very communicative and thoughtful—left water bottles, and chocolates, and even pre-warmed the house before I arrived. Loved the pet-friendly touches like the dog water bowls! A couple of minor things: the road noise wasn’t an issue for me at all, but since the window was taped up, I could hear the wind a bit. Also, the Wi-Fi didn’t reach the bedroom well, but it worked fine in the living room and kitchen; it was good enough for me to do Zoom calls and remote work—but these are easily outweighed by all the other positive aspects of the stay! Overall, I’d highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Super cute & cozy apartment! It was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my spouse. Would highly recommend! I loved the binder full of recommendations from things to do, to hikes, to restaurants. Hosts were also extremely responsive.

I really enjoyed my stay. Keith's place was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There were a lot of nice little touches like quality coffee and different ways of making it. Two things I appreciated: the bed was comfortable and the radiant heat in the floors let me keep the bedroom cool and the bathroom warm. I would definitely stay here again.

This place was so comfy and perfect for our stay. Hosts were great. It was snowing and they made sure to clear the path. We will be back again with our pup too!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Don's Airbnb, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Don went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Communication with Don was seamless. He was quick to respond to any questions i had and provided recommendation to local restaurants, spas, museums etc.

Deer enjoy the backyard scenery and walk unafraid! Perfect in every way. Super responsive host. Love the location, thoughtfulness and special touches. Our host thought of everything. You will really enjoy it here.

What a beautiful and cozy historic space! I loved the fireplace in the bedroom and the very comfy bed. Very quiet house and neighborhood. Extremely clean! The bathroom is tiny but functional. My only complaint would be that I was provided only a single bath towel for a 2-night stay. Other than that it was perfect and I would definitely stay again. Thanks Tim!

Very private and quiet space. There were stairs to get to the walk out basement which was the entrance for the apartment. The front of the house that you see as you enter the driveway is not the same as the picture of the whole house so there was some confusion if I was at the right place. Inside was very spacious and clean.

Another great ski weekend at Greek Peak! The shuttle directly from the house to the mountain is unbeatable. I love that every house I stay in at Greek Peak has similar charm, and this one is no different. We loved being able to fit our group all in one spot, with plenty of room to hang out, cook dinner, and play games after a long day on the slopes

Lindsey's place was a wonderful location for a getaway with my friends! The condo was beautiful, clean, tidy, organized, well decorated, cute, and comfortable! And wow, the view of Canandaigua lake in the morning from the living room is stunning! So close to Canandaigua and Naples and cute places to visit! Lindsey was so communicative, making sure we had everything we needed ahead of time and during our stay, and was such a pleasure to talk to! I highly recommend Lindsey's condo and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

We loved our stay at Rachel’s place! The sauna was so nice. I was working remotely and the internet worked well. Rachel was so welcoming, helpful and communicative. She did so much to make our stay great. highly recommend! also love the location! thank you!!

I have to travel to Elmira several times a year for meetings and events at Elmira College. Charie's apartments are always my top choice because of their proximity to the college, the quality of the accommodations and the value compared to other options in the area. I hope he buys more places and coverts them to Airbnbs.

This was an excellent fit for our family of four, with comfortable sleeping and hang-out space. Everything was extremely clean, and the environment welcoming and quiet. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, having a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fitness room. We would love to be back when it's warmer to take advantage of the outdoor amenities and convenient walking location.

Lovely cabin that was perfect for our family! I would definitely come back!

This home was beautiful, as described and shown in the photos. Amy, the owner, was superbly responsive and friendly. It was such a pleasure to stay there and she did everything to make my stay easy and comfortable. Thank you Amy!

This was an amazing place where we felt right at home. The view was breathtaking taking, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Overall this was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.
