My friends and I had an amazing stay. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals together and the surrounding area offered tons of activities. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. Overall I would highly recommend staying here.
Amazing property. The owners literally thought of and prepared everything/anything you could possibly need while there. Amenities were great, bathrooms were clean and spacious, great hot water/water pressure, beds were comfortable, and communication was great. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about travelling to the finger lakes region.
Great very clean , great place to hang out , has all the extras that you might of forgotten when packing . Loved the wood fire pizza and the fire pit . Kids loved the hot tub.
Lovely home! Enjoyed the views, fire, and hot tub. Hosts were easy to reach and provided lots of amenities so that we were able to pack light for our trip.
It’s a beautiful home in a beautiful area and a great spot for a weekend away with friends. The hot tub and all the amenities were perfect. Daura was incredibly easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again!
We so enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property!
This home was so comfortable, great kitchen, well equipped, beautiful great room with fantastic views.
The weather was perfect and we enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces. Peaceful and serene, the perfect setting to reconnect with family.
This was by far the best VRBO we have ever been at. The owners were responsive, respectful of our privacy and have literally thought of everything. The property was clean and had everything you would need for a day or a week and then some. highlhoghly.recommend
This home was perfect for our family vacation. Beautiful, well stocked and very private. We would highly recommend it. Communications were also excellent.
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
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.
My children, grandchildren, and I thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay at this beautiful home. It not only had the necessities, but it also had many extras like houseplants, an aroma diffuser, all the lotions and soaps we could use, games and activities, etc. There was plenty of kitchen equipment for us to make Thanksgiving dinner, pancakes, pizza, etc. And it is beautiful!
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!
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.
This is without of doubt the best house I’ve ever stayed at. The house was clean, there was stuff to do and my family was having a great time staying here. Would definitely recommend this house and looking forward of making another reservation in the future.
The place was very nicely appointed with many thoughtful touches for guests to all ages. The kids loved all the games in the basement and the adults appreciated that they loved it!
This property is stunning, with a beautifully maintained home that’s perfect for both extended stays and quick getaways. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right—welcoming, helpful, and genuinely accommodating. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
We had such a fantastic experience during our stay in Ithaca. Daura was wonderful and very communicative throughout our entire stay. The arrival/departure process was a breeze. Would absolutely stay here again!
Daura was a great host, checking in multiple times throughout our stay to ensure we had the best time possible. Amazing property, had a ton of fun! 10/10 would stay again.
So much care and thought have gone into this property. Its peaceful setting has views for miles, and the smart interior layout creates a variety of spaces to gather and retreat as needed. The tasteful Christmas decorations made it feel especially welcoming for our December visit, but it would be delightful any time of year. The home is stocked with everything a large group could possibly need without feeling cluttered or overstuffed. It is as lovely in person as it appears online — immaculate, well designed and full of warmth. The hosts are very responsive and provide on online guide with all the helpful details and recommendations you could need. We loved this home and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
