The place was cool and fun, located 10 or so minutes on foot from downtown. Accurately described with a cool small backyard. Pretty good record collection and player. Had a great early fall stay in Ithaca!

We had a great stay here! The hosts were communicative and accommodating to our groups needs. The house is located right near the Ithaca Commons and close to the Cornell campus as well. We were able to walk/drive everywhere very easily. The home itself is super cozy and comfy. We can’t wait for our next trip back!!

The location is perfect for easy access to Cornell. Also close the Gimme Coffee. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating!

Jesse’s place was perfect for our family of 8. We were in town for our daughter’s white coat ceremony. The house is very unique and very Ithaca! We walked down town and to the farmer’s market (even tho it rained). The space was perfect for our big time!

Staying in the Cayuga House worked out great for my family and some friends we were traveling with. Four bedrooms, a cozy living room and a good kitchen were all excellent and the location was in walking distance to all of Ithaca.

Thank you for hosting! The house came equipped with everything we needed to cook and relax while in town for college move-in. We enjoyed walking along the Cascadilla Creek and to Gimme! Coffee, GreenStar Coop, Rashida Sawyer Bakery, and Envious Bags — some of our favorite businesses around Ithaca Commons.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as presented on the website. The host was very easy to get a hold of and even granted us early check-in because we were traveling with a toddler. The toys for the toddler were awesome, as was the final collection. Thanks so much!
— Kathy
Amazing spot! Stayed here for college visits with my kiddo. Super walkable area with a coffee shop right down the road. Beautiful house and backyard, made me wish we had time to do more relaxing at the house.

We had a great couple of days at Cayuga House. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped and good-sized, there were places you could put down a computer to work, and the living room with the woodstove was cozy.

So, first, I have to say that Jesse is one of the most helpful, communicative, detail oriented and responsive hosts that I have ever worked with! Those characteristics shine through in Cayuga House as well. As others have noted, the house is old but it’s well maintained, nicely appointed, comfortably furnished and charmingly decorated. It would be hard not to feel at home in this space. Sadly for us, the weather didn’t allow us to explore the neighborhood or really see much of Ithaca at all, but Cayuga House was the perfect place to hunker down in.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming house. The home perfectly blends historic charm with cozy comforts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.. The location is ideal, close to Cornell and Collegetown, and it is also pet-friendly!

Very warm decor in a great location! Would definitely return!
— Vicky
It was a straight walk into downtown, close to great restaurants and bars and close to the theater. It was a very quick drive, or bike ride, to the Farmer’s Market. The space had everything we needed and was comfortable
— Nina
Host and owner are super knowledgeable about the area and quick to respond to questions. I found them to be two of the most accommodating folks I have ever rented from.
— Keith
This house is the perfect combination of characterful and clean. It felt like a house that could tell stories and made us instantly comfortable. During a cold weekend and we felt warm and cozy. Had a few of my son’s friends over for dinner and felt like we were at home. Thank you!
— Tara
Home away from home. Excellent communication from the host. Very homely feel. Very convenient location. The place was clean and tidy, and had everything. We had a very enjoyable stay.
— Kieran
Location is very easy walking distance to everything. Also was great to have a driveway, street parking in Ithaca can be tricky so it was great to not have to worry about that!
— Lisa
As a family, we really enjoyed Cayuga house: the 4 bedrooms were great, all in different colors and different feel. The house has lived a lot of lovely family memories, you can feel that. We enjoyed living there and making it our home for a couple of days.

I wanted to know the Ithaca area and staying downtown was ideal. The location was perfect and near restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, coffee shops. It was also very peaceful and I love all the greenery on the streets of Ithaca. Thank you!
