About this house rental
This entire stunning home is waiting for you! It has classic timber frame construction boasting large beautiful wood beams, lots of light, and a rustic feel. Both spacious and cozy at the same time!
This unique converted space is the former home of a plant nursery and my bakery! It was converted to a year round home a few years ago, so its beautiful with a few quirks... like two ovens, exit signs, and lots of baking supplies! This is a peaceful space that has been loved and thoughtfully curated. I hope you enjoy!
All parts of the home will be available to you during your stay, except for the storage rooms …which are less than exciting anyway!
Located centrally to all things Ithaca,
7-10 mins drive to downtown, 15 mins to both Cornell and Ithaca College, and a few miles to Taughannock State Park, the beginning of the Cayuga Wine trail, and Trumansburg. This cottage puts you close to all things Ithaca!
** New bathroom renovation completed Jan 2022!

My wife & I loved our stay at Timber Garden Cottage. A unique, wood beam chalet type 2 story home, filled with charm, books, games, and kitchen utensils. Very comfortable bed upstairs. It was hot outside but the 2 A/C units downstairs did a good job. We had small breakfasts at the lovely Timber Garden Cottage, ate most other meals at a friends nearby lakefront home on Cayuga Lake. Loved seeing the wineries & breweries on scenic Seneca Lake, and loved hiking the breathtaking Robert Treman State Park, highly recommend. It's hard to think of anything to recommend as an upgrade for Audra's Timber Garden Cottage. Possibly a brigher light in the bathroom, we found it a bit dark. Also, we had forgotten there was no dishwasher, we wish we had remembered to bring plastic plates, glasses,etc. No big deal, as we didn't cook big meals. Another big plus, TV worked well , with lost of options. Garden out the back door smelled so nice ! The lock box worked well and was easy, not always the case with our other VRBO &AB&B experiences. Audra was easy to communicate with and pleasant. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to parks and restaurants and shopping and just a pretty place to spend some time. Perfect for a romantic getaway.

Spent 4 wonderful nights in the Timber Garden Cottage. Audra communicated all I needed to know before I arrived. When I got there she had a vase of sunflowers waiting for me! The cottage is tastefully decorated & is equipped with everything you could possibly need. I enjoyed the natural beauty of the wooden beams, the long table, the desk, the countertop, the stairs, the floor of the loft & its dresser. I appreciated the living plants, the spectacular view of sunrise, & the super convenient location. Ithaca is minutes away. You will not be. disappointed with this rental, I hope to return.

This VRBO was cute. A couple of comments/suggestions…since the floor is concrete, I definitely suggest some more area rugs as floor got chilly in the morning and evening. Secondly, lots of lightbulbs were out in the rental. The 2nd floor loft was nice but floorboards were very creaky so if someone got up during the night to use the bathroom the other person definitely was woken up even though we tried to be quiet. Bathroom was updated and nice with nice amenities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as only 8 minutes or so from downtown, wineries and hiking places. It was a different VRBO for us with its unique charm.
