Hey, I know I'm just a 'luxury apartment in the round' but who says places can't have personality! Please write my caretaker and come visit me! Talk About Kid Friendly!: Climbing Vine Cottage began as a playground and school for young gardeners. Small hands helped grow fruits, vegetables and flowers for their families and our local soup kitchen Loaves and Fishes. Children raised butterflies, caught frogs and identified bugs with the yurt as our indoor classroom. Children will be delighted to sit at the child's table for 4 and use the beading and drawing materials or play with the games and puzzles. There's a play kitchen, tea set and apron, plus baskets with legos, blocks and a well-stocked children's book shelf. Additionally you'll find kid-friendly-adaptive-devices like a step stool, potty seat, and low bench. For adults without kids don't worry, when we know you're coming we place these materials out of the way, on shelves, etc. Perfect for a Romantic Getaway: Climbing Vine Cottage makes it easy to find the time for each other. Cook together in a beautiful kitchen or get take out. Cozy up by the fire or climb in bed and watch tv. Better yet, climb up to the loft to watch the stars. Explore the forest and gorge in privacy surrounded by peace and beauty. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 850 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19260000/19251500/19251429/3d4f410c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy, Artistic Retreat Surrounded By Waterfalls, Orchards And Gardens Newfield - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Laundry 10 Exceptional 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=19251429&PinnedHotelID=19251429&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67410000/67404600/67404551/149d7f6c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic, Cozy Cottage with Backyard Waterfall and Cayuga Lake Views!

Had fun visiting the chickens daily (we counted 15!), walking through the wildflower garden and adjoining woods, enjoying the peacefulness of the koi pond, and sitting outside at night under the starry sky. We had deer stop by in the evenings and we even got to see a doe nursing two fawn! Michelle is a responsive and gracious host. The local coffee and wildflowers on the table when we arrived were special touches. We also thoroughly enjoyed meeting and chatting with Michelle's father, George. The yurt itself is comfortable and cozy, and we enjoyed the artwork on the walls. Kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation.The location is ideal for driving into Ithaca for waterfall hikes and sightseeing, museums, the Cornell Ornithology Lab, independent bookstores, and a variety of delicious options for meals. But I would also recommend just strolling around Main Street in Newfield to check out the covered bridge, the King Bowstring Arch Bridge, a one room schoolhouse, and a pop into the Covered Bridge Market & Pizzaria. Our entire stay was so relaxing and just felt magical. We really wanted another day or two, but reality called us home. We do hope to make it back for another, longer vacation.

We really loved the interior spaciousness and the cozy loft for the kids, as well as the beautiful central skylight. Our favorite part, though, was our SUPERhost Michelle. She was the perfect balance of available without being in-your-face. She was incredible with our kids teaching them how to feed chickens, gather eggs, tell the difference between koi fish and goldfish, and pick raspberries and zucchinis. She also went out of her way to show us the hiking path to the wonderful secluded waterfalls ten minutes from the yurt. Extra bonus treats were the natural soaps and cleansers in the yurt, the fridge dispenser with cold water ready-to-go, and the fully stocked kitchen where we were able to cook a feast every night. Thanks, Michelle, for a fantastic family vacation and treasured memories ##### Jill F.

Thanks to Michelle for a wonderfully unique place to stay. Spent a long weekend in Ithaca and we were really happy to have Michelle's yurt to come home to while we visited. Beautiful property. Would love to visit again in the summer to see the gardens surrounding the property and take part in some fresh veggies. The yurt was so much more than expected...think I might want one! It was a warm December weekend, but the pellet stove still ran each evening and provided a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. Loved the bright colors and the casual decorum. Our dog Max also loved the yurt. He's usually a little anxious and nosy the first night when we're away from home, no matter where we go, but he found his spot next to us on the futon and just melted into it. Next time hopefully he'll get some play time with Michelle's family dog. This will definitely be on our list of go to places when visiting the area. Definitely plan to recommend it to some friends of ours who I know would absolutely love it. ##### Heather G.

Thank you to Michelle and her family for a fantastic experience and for sharing their amazing yurt with us. Our three boys (10, 7, 4) enjoyed sleeping in the awesome loft and hanging out in the garden watching the frogs and feeding the fish. Michelle spent time showing the boys around the garden and having them sample the many fruits, veggies and herbs growing there. She taught them to make chamomile tea from real flowers -- which they insisted we do at every meal. Imagine the delight when I needed an egg to make cookies and we could take the boys out to the chicken coop to get one! We also enjoyed hiking around the property and making s'mores by the fire pit. The boys even found some rocks with fossils in them down by the stream. There was so much to do on the property and we were less than 15 minutes from Ithaca and all of its amazing sights. The yurt was comfortable, homey, cool and just the perfect getaway for the five of us! Thank you! ##### stacey m. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas S.
