About this house rental
As former Alaskans, moving East we knew we had to find a house that felt close to nature, good for visiting guests and with lots of light. Well, we found that house and we love it! With lots of windows and sun exposure, comfortable common space and a big back deck and yard, the house is very conducive to quality time with family and friends.
It's 7 minutes or less to Cornell University , Ithaca College, downtown Ithaca, restaurants, grocery store, bakery, and many trailheads, and swimming holes. Wine country surrounds Ithaca, as do hundreds of miles of trails; our house is at the heart of the Finger Lakes!
There are three bedrooms and a fourth lofted bedroom. There is a fifth sleeping area that, each evening, can be converted from a living room to a bedroom with French doors., In total, the house can sleep 8. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The two acre neighborhood park, just beyond the hedgerow, has a large field and playground, great for kids! With the park as your neighbor, and a large backyard, you will have the feeling that you are in the middle of nature when sitting on the back deck barbecuing or enjoying an evening glass of wine. Our guests who come up from the city can't get enough of this!
We love our neighbors and respect the family friendly environment that Dove Drive has. Please take your enjoyment inside by 10 pm so as not to disturb our neighbors. House gathering/party is limited to the registered guests, I.e 8 or less people. Property manager resides in the neighborhood.
We love our home and are excited to share it with your family!

Location is perfectly quiet and relaxing but not far from campus (5 min drive to college town). Back porch is amazing for morning coffee and dinner/evening wind down. Well appointed kitchen really has everything since its Mary's home. Mary was lovely to interact with, had many helpful hints, and prepared the home perfectly for us when she knew we were getting in later than expected.

If you are booking for location, stop reading and book it NOW! Anyone who knows the area will snap it up before you have a chance to book. That is exactly what we did. Everything else was just the most amazing bonus. We were traveling for Cornell graduation with grandparents and siblings. The house was the perfect set up. First of all, there are just a couple of easy steps to get into the house and then the grandparents did not have any other stairs to navigate. Once inside, there are 3 rooms downstairs (we used 2 for the grandparents, and one for the brother - but one of the rooms is a twin over full so you can do 2 in full and/or one in twin bunk), and 1 queen bed upstairs in a loft in the "Bird room". The kitchen/dining/living room was perfect for a little family party. We served apps and a buffet with more than enough room for everyone. Plenty of plates, cups, silverware, serving stuff, super easy to feed everyone - made full breakfast for the whole crew every morning. Mary had left us great coffee to brew. It was raining, but the outdoor space is spectacular, again, easy access for the grandparents, but weather would not allow. There is also another huge living room which we did not even use. Also downstairs is what we called the "Bird room" - Huge beautiful windows overlooking a lawn filled with bird feeders - we were obsessed - we used a bird app to ID the birds and they were gorgeous. And finally, Mary - she was the BEST!! Enjoy!!

Owner was very responsive. Went above and beyond to give directions and make suggestions on local restaurants. She was very easy to communicate with quick responses. The house was very clean and very comfortable offering lots of gathering space. Absolutely loved it and would definitely stay again if in the area. I highly recommend!
