Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ithaca

We really loved the cabin. It was comfortable, clean and really well equipped. The location was perfect - in peaceful surroundings but close enough to Ithaca, Cayuga Lake and the beautiful state parks. Janelle and Aaron are such lovely hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Daniel’s home offered our family a peaceful and cozy space surrounded by nature during our Ithaca visit. The house’s location is very convenient: it is close to a grocery store, pharmacy, gas station, Ithaca Commons, Cornell, and Ithaca College. Daniel was a responsive and friendly host, and the home had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay and feel at home.

This place is truly unique. It's a get away space for musicians who share it when they aren't using it. The place has been built up and settled in. It's gorgeous, the location and the barn architecture. But it's not uptight. It feels like late 60s - early 70s rock and roll, or like classic country music. Maddy's family has a phenomenal record collection and the stereo sounds SO good. The albums we brought came to life there. There's also an excellent book collection, lots of rock and music stuff but also philosophy, literature, eco books, and classic kids book (lots of kids books and a massive toy trunk with toys for kids of all ages!). The kitchen has got pretty much everything you need, and all the basic amenities and appliances. Around about are lots of area lamps, interesting hangings, colored glass, rugs, throws, and well cared for house plants. Finally, the pond and field have not been chemical killed. So, there are lots of birds, frogs, fish, and nests.

Amoreena’s home was perfect for our stay. The description of the home was accurate. We truly appreciated the fenced in backyard for our pups, attention to detail on extras in the home and being so close to state parks with the most beautiful waterfalls.

Easily now one of our favorite places to stay! Absolutely spotless and in a peaceful locale (we even saw a woodpecker!) Drivable to both Seneca and Cayuga and to Ithaca. Major kudos to Diane and Glen for not only creating a charming and welcoming space with so much thought and care, but ALSO for making it affordable! I have had some terrible, terrible experiences with AirBnB hosts cancelling my reservations to gauge me for more money when they realize it's commencement for one of the colleges, even if that's not remotely the reason for our visit. Finding this listing was fate! I will definitely try to book again in the future. And hopefully the weather will be nicer!

This space is absolutely incredible. Exceeded all of my expectations for comfort and tranquility. Spacious and stunningly curated. I will be booking my next stay immediately! Cannot recommend enough.

This was just the kind of getaway we were looking for in a long weekend. The house was great, had everything we needed. After a long day of activities, it was the perfect place to come back and relax in. Having the trail right at the base of the driveway made for a great run/walk in the morning or evening. The area is full of hiking and outdoor activities, and Ithaca is so close to go into town for restaurants and entertainment.

We absolutely loved our stay at the treehouse! It was so cozy and had the most amazing views! The house had everything we needed and I’d definitely recommend this house for a group of friends! Thank you for everything!

We were in the Ithaca/Newfield area for a wedding and did not want downtown Ithaca. This was 5 minute drive from wedding location and only 10 minutes into Ithaca. Ideal for us. It was clean, all the comnforts of home and Dan & Jackie were so responsive to any questions we had.

Jerry’s place is my absolute favorite Airbnb ever…and I have stayed in quite a few! It is extremely comfortable, super clean, great area and has everything you can think of. I brought my mom with me on this trip and she loved it! I don’t know when was the last time I have seen my mom napping so peacefully. Everytime I go to Cortland I base my trips on the availability dates for Jerry’s place! Book now, I promise you won’t regret it!

A wonderful place to stay, close to everything. Quiet neighborhood. We had everything we needed, and it was very comfortable.

Great location around lots of amazing hiking. The apartment felt private and had everything we needed. Shower pressure was amazing and we loved relaxing in the hot tub after a full day of hiking. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Cathy did everything for us to help us feel at home and we really did. Although the weather was rainy and cold we enjoyed the warmth of her welcome with extra blankets and fresh huge muffins. Cathy accommodated all our needs, she is very friendly and we highly recommend staying at her charming place.

Comfortable quiet apt. with great view of valley, close to central Ithaca. Snacks, bagels very appreciated. Mike is very personable. Taking his advice about what park to visit made our day.

Brittney's apartment is a great place in a quiet neighborhood. It is an easy walk to Ithaca Commons where there are multiple food and entertainment options. We loved having use of the washer and dryer. It was a perfect long weekend getaway.

Melissa is an absolutely amazing host! She not only provided some breakfast items, but also personally welcomed us in the evening with a warm introduction and thoughtful recommendations for local food and attractions. We truly loved her and appreciated everything she did for us. The house itself was incredibly cozy and filled with warmth—it’s clear that the owner has a deep love for life. There were beautiful flowers, charming decorations in every corner, and adorable Jellycat plushies that added a lovely touch. If our travel schedule had allowed, we would have loved to stay even longer.

Comfortable, extremely clean and very convenient location. Wonderful accommodations for my family especially the well stocked modern, spacious kitchen.

This was a repeat visit and another great experience! The apartment was perfect, super convenient to our events and we again appreciated the convenience and excellent fare of the Rye and the Garage restaurants. THE place to stay in Elmira!

Great stay! Wonderful visit with 3 adults, we gave my mom the larger room and my sister and I stayed in the room with the trundle bed. The living room area was so nice to spend time planning our day or visiting together at the end of the day. Great walking to breakfast and dinner spots. The location will be even better when the renovations are done by the water. Parking was easy and a great home-base for visiting the manyFinger Lakes locations. My mom said the pillows were so comfortable! Great that there was a hair dryer and even a steamer if someone needed it! Many coffee and tea options in the kitchen.

Wonderful place to stay, very private, very convenient. It's very clean. Hosts were unobtrusive and communicative via app. Instructions were clear. Our party consisted of 2 adults and 4 children, ages 8 to 12. The accommodations worked very well. Cozy space, we really only needed to be there to shower and sleep. Would stay again.

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

The apartment was adorable and well decorated. It seems as if they had thought of everything! Shalisa was also extremely responsive and friendly. 10/10 would recommend her place.

Diane’s lakeside retreat has definitely earned all these five star reviews! It’s even better than the photos. The view is spectacular, the place is spotless, the bed and furnishings so comfortable. Full of thoughtful touches. Perfect for two people. Believe the hype!

Very clean, comfortable, and relaxing weekend. A very nice condo on the 4th floor of a luxury hotel that included access to all of the offerings from restaurant and bar, outdoor patio and fire pit, pool and hot tub, nice views of Canandaguia Lake, and just a mile or so from downtown Canandaguia. Check in and check out instructions were straightforward. Good communication with the host. The price may be a bit more than other places in the area but you have access to all the offerings of a high end hotel on the edge of the lake. I would recommend a visit here!
