Calm and convenient location

Guests say this area is peaceful and it’s easy to get around.
Find sanctuary in this cozy, nature-inspired studio attached to our home in the heart of Trumansburg. Just minutes from Taughannock Falls, Ithaca, and the Finger Lakes wine trail. With black walnut trim, organic bedding, and calming tones, it’s a peaceful space to rest and recharge. While it shares a wall with our home, guests often describe it as quiet, cozy, and deeply rejuvenating. A perfect retreat for solo travelers or couples seeking comfort, charm, and a touch of healing.

The space
Begin your stay with easy, private driveway parking off Pease Street, just two blocks from Trumansburg’s charming Main Street. Walk through the garden gate to a key-coded entrance and step into your own thoughtfully designed studio apartment, custom-built and attached to our home.

Inside, you’ll find a luxuriously comfortable organic latex queen-sized Murphy bed already set up for you to sink into. The kitchenette includes a sink, microwave, two hot plates, a mini fridge, a coffee maker, and an electric kettle—along with complimentary coffee and tea to help you settle in.

The spacious bathroom features a full-sized tub and shower. Newly refinished fir floors and handcrafted black walnut trim give the space a warm, grounded feel, while high ceilings and curated furnishings create a cozy yet airy atmosphere.

Step outside to a peaceful sitting area where you can sip a drink and watch the sunset. Though the studio is attached to our home, it offers a quiet, private-feeling experience that many guests describe as a sanctuary. Whether you’re here to explore the Finger Lakes or simply rest and recharge, you’ll have everything you need for a restorative stay.
