Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Ithaca

We had a wonderful stay!! The house has so much character and is tastefully updated to be comfortable. Great layout and sleeping options, plenty of room - it was perfect for our needs!

Staying at Mara's house was exactly what we needed to welcome in 2025. The house itself is immaculate, well appointed, comfortable and has incredible lakefront views to tie it all together. Getting around the Cayuga Lake area was so easy from where the house is located and there are even some incredible wineries and breweries minutes away. The layout and setup of the house was very thoughtfully done and everything we needed (and more) was there. 10/10 excellent stay.

Thank you very much for your flexibility in allowing us to make a pretty last-minute reservation! The home was clean and spacious. It is located in quiet area with nice views. It is very close to Ithaca College (where our son attends) and the downtown area as well- so it was very convenient.

I would highly recommend Hali's place to anyone! Very easy instructions to get in and we immediately felt at home. it was very clean and we loved the openness of the living area and kitchen. The beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed! We would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location if visiting BU or downtown Binghamton. We traveled with our dog so the fenced in yard was great. Bunch of amenities and was exactly as described in the listing and photos.

We were looking to host a retreat for the trustees responsible for running a creative problem solving program for kids in the state of New York. Our experience at Heywood Manor was nothing less than exceptional. The location, the house along with its amenities combined with a gracious host made it a memorable weekend. I'm trying to think of a reason to return just to experience it again!

Lovely spot for my family with two young kids to stay - easily accessible to great hikes and food options, a 15 minute walk to the commons, many grocery stores (and a great bakery) nearby, and super comfortable for the family to sleep, eat, and play. Andrea kindly left out toys for the kids and we loved having drinks in the backyard. Highlight activities were Buttermilk Falls hike, Teaghannock falls hike and lake beach, Treman swimming hole, Watkins Glenn, the National Soaring Museum, the Science Center, and Stewart Park. Best meals were at The Rook, Lev Kitchen, and Thompson and Bleecker (plus baked goods at Wide Awake bakery, but beware their limited hours!). Hope we can come back to Ithaca again!

Everything there are were perfect, but in one room the blanket had so strong smell of baby pee(

The apartment was very clean and cozy! I felt right at home at Jane's place. Speaking of Jane- she is phenomenal! Very responsive and a caring individual! She left us welcome gifts from local spots and everything she left was delicious and she recommended some great local places as well. My husband and I will definitely be returning and are super thrilled we had such a lovely getaway and lovely host!

great spot! nice walking paths, pet friendly, private space, very clean!

I stayed for one night and it was last minute. Jerry was very accommodating, the place was beautiful, it was clean, and it was extremely comfortable. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing place with quite a few amenities I highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful play to stay!!! 😊 had the best time and the location is awesome. The apartment was so clean and beautiful!!!

I really enjoyed my stay. Keith's place was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There were a lot of nice little touches like quality coffee and different ways of making it. Two things I appreciated: the bed was comfortable and the radiant heat in the floors let me keep the bedroom cool and the bathroom warm. I would definitely stay here again.

Apartment was clean and spacious. Location was extremely convenient for our needs, and Rodica responded quickly to any questions we had. It was everything we needed, for a fair price. Thank you!

Very private and quiet space. There were stairs to get to the walk out basement which was the entrance for the apartment. The front of the house that you see as you enter the driveway is not the same as the picture of the whole house so there was some confusion if I was at the right place. Inside was very spacious and clean.

We absolutely loved it here! Ithaca is a beautiful city and Branka made our stay so effortless and welcoming! We were looking for home away from home and she definitely provided that! The space was clean and well decorated. She went above and beyond to offer certain amenities such as snacks, a sound machine, and toiletries! She was also very communicative and made sure we had anything we needed or wanted! We will absolutely be staying there again during warmer months to explore the city more! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a comfortable, homey space for their trip.

I'm so glad we stayed at Charlie's place. It was huge, spotless and perfect, with the lovely coffee shop and restaurant making this the best place to stay in the area!

Such an amazing stay! Our original place canceled last minute and Caitlin’s place was so perfect for what we needed. So clean and so many useful amenities. Walking distance to the lifts and a great place to stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again:)

We loved our stay at Rachel’s place! The sauna was so nice. I was working remotely and the internet worked well. Rachel was so welcoming, helpful and communicative. She did so much to make our stay great. highly recommend! also love the location! thank you!!

Joy's place is so nice and cozy and had everything we could need:)

This apartment was very convenient to the locations we were headed to. Did a day trip to Niagara Falls. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. One thing to take into consideration when choosing this place is the fact that it’s in the heart of town. We were awakened early in the morning from the traffic and garbage truck.

This was an excellent fit for our family of four, with comfortable sleeping and hang-out space. Everything was extremely clean, and the environment welcoming and quiet. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, having a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fitness room. We would love to be back when it's warmer to take advantage of the outdoor amenities and convenient walking location.

This home was beautiful, as described and shown in the photos. Amy, the owner, was superbly responsive and friendly. It was such a pleasure to stay there and she did everything to make my stay easy and comfortable. Thank you Amy!

Shalisa was wonderful and her place was really nice! Warm, clean, cozy, and having access to the hot tub was awesome, able to relax after a long day or morning out! Couldn’t have chosen a better host for a weekend concert adventure!!
