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.

We were in Ithaca for a family Xmas, and Yuan's apartment was perfect for three seniors + small dog. We had everything we needed and much more. The view down towards Ithaca is beautiful; we felt perfectly safe in a quiet, friendly neighborhood; and our drives to Homer, Cortland, The Commons, and Syracuse were easy. We'll be back! PS The comforters were wonderful BTW! Where can we buy some for ourselves?

Crystals place was perfect. The fenced yard for our dog was great after a long day of travel. Crystals house fit our needs to a T. Well stocked and welcoming

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!

Large comfortable and quiet home with everything we needed for our visit to Geneva. Conveniently located a short drive from shopping, restaurants and vineyards/breweries.

Laura, Denny, Emily and Justin were great hosts, adapting to changes in our plans, supervising family visitors for a tour of the animals, clearing and salting the snowy entryways, just being their friendly and helpful selves. The location was lovely and the house had more amenities than one could expect. We hope F House will be available next time we visit our Syracuse family.

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

Nice place. Quiet location. Very very comfy bed. The treats that were left were a great added touch (apples, muffins, cheese, etc.). Sheets and bedding were great. Furniture comfortable too. Plenty of towels.

Jerry’s place is a great, quaint studio apartment feel. Would definitely stay here again!

Nelson is an excellent host

This home is perfect if you like a clean, comfortable, well designed get-away. Perfect space for 2. Highlights include: thoughtful, semi-scandinavian design; looks out on beautiful yard; comfortable bath, living and sleeping spaces; and good functional kithchen. Private even though Keith and family were in the main house. Keith responded quickly to the few questions I had.

Very clean apartment and wonderful communication with host. Plenty of space and seating. Parking space assignment letters are hard to see arriving in the dark. There are street parking ordinances in winter months (odd/even day/side parking). Apartment satisfied our needs and would definitely stay again.

This unit was perfect for our weekend getaway to Ithaca. It's tucked away in a neighborhood but still only minutes from everywhere. Easy to get to, easy entry to the property, easy checkout. It was all just a breeze. They aren't kidding about the stairs, one step at a time!

Perfect for what I was looking for. Only recommendation is if you need complete darkness to sleep, bring an eye sleep mask for the neighbor/street lights

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 stayed here for a family gathering over Christmas. We didn't ski, but we enjoyed walking to the water park. If you are into skiing, you'd also love this place. The gas fireplace is a nice touch. We had no issues with a large group and two bathrooms - the bathrooms are wisely paritioned so the shower or toilet can be used in privacy while others use the sink.

The “Traditional” apartment was great. Everything as described, pictured, and expected. We felt at home immediately. Such thoughtful surprises every corner in the apartment. Washer and dryer in bathroom was very convenient. Enjoyed dinner downstairs with our grandson. Great food and spirits! Slept like a baby in the comfortable bed. Ear plugs for me helped with busy morning traffic from the stop light corner outside; husband said he didn’t hear a thing! Loved seeing the neighborhood renovations; look forward seeing the progresses made in the future. Felt very safe walking our dog, even in the wee hours of night. Enjoyed window shopping; picked up some antique treasures from store next door. Look forward returning for more stores nearby. Truly a peaceful balcony seating, stargazing at night. Came for family Thanksgiving; will love to experience The Garage coffee shop outdoor seating in warmer season. We both really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We loved our stay with Rachel! She was extremely friendly and responsive. She left us with coffee (and all the fixins) basics in the kitchen, local recommendations for every and anything, and a squeaky clean home. Would absolutely recommend this space and would love to stay again!

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.

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

Great plaxe, wish I could have stayed longer

This was our fourth stay at the condo. It is so peaceful and cozy very clean and private. Diana and her husband are super host. They were always there when I needed them for any question or repair. We love going here and we go a couple times a year. See you in the spring.
