Cottage holiday rentals in Ithaca

Quiet, cozy, and perfect view! Host had excellent response timing.

My family and I stayed here while in town for a racing event. My family had a wonderful place to stay and unwind while I was at the track for three days. Everything was wonderful! My wife and kids ended up out on the lake in a canoe that was available to use. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to be able to cook dinner every night. At the end of a long day at the track, my wife and I were able to enjoy the hot tub. Everything was clean and neat. There was one issue I messaged Susan about during the stay, nothing that was huge, but I let her know there was a bee's nest in the shed where the canoe and kayaks were stored. Susan responded immediately and came out to take care of it. This place is clean, really nice, secluded, and peaceful. We had a wonderful long weekend to rest and unwind.

My husband and I spent two nights here on our honeymoon. This place was extremely clean and we noticed how good it smelled when we walked in! The hosts left clear instructions on what to do with everything they offered. The pool table/game room is separate from the house, which I thought was pretty cool! Very peaceful, surrounding neighbors were quiet even during memorial weekend. Perfect place to relax, there is enough to do where you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Very friendly hosts who offered a lot for a great price. Would definitely take a trip here again!! (There’s also a scavenger hunt they include if you’re looking for something fun to do outside- so cute!!)

We lost power at our first air bnb and needed a place to move to fairly quick. I found Brendin’s place and messaged him. He responded immediately and said we could check in as soon as needed. The place was beautiful! We didn’t get to use the outside since we were there only a couple of days and had a family Wedding one of those days. Thank you Brandin and Haley!

I am in love with Paul's place. The pictures did not do it justice, it was beautiful and so peaceful. Paul was very responsive and very nice. I have never stayed in a place where I wanted so many of the things in that home, in my own home. From the movie room (my favorite spot!), the master bedroom bed, to the main bathroom, everything was AMAZING!! We will be back!

We used the home for an annual ladies only get away, it was relaxing, beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed including a beautiful hot tub, our host was very responsive to messages, I would recommend it to anyone and will consider it again for a relaxing getaway.

Only stayed 2 nights but this cottage was the perfect spot to relax after exploring Saugatuck and Holland. One morning, we kayaked around Mill Lake before heading to Saugatuck (about a 45-minute drive with no traffic) to hike the Dunes North Outer Loop Beach Trail. Afterward, we drove just five minutes to downtown for dinner and drinks, then made our way to Oval Beach to catch the sunset. On another day, we visited Windmill Island for the Tulip Festival, spent some time downtown for dinner, and ended the evening back at the cottage soaking in the hot tub. Thanks for the short notice booking, LOVED the cottage! :)

This was the perfect setup for a little weekend getaway with a 6-year-old and our pup. The place was cute, the firepit was enjoyable, the area was beautiful, we felt we had enough privacy and everything we needed was included. We also used the guest passes to the community facilities to swim and enjoy the hot tub - excellent facilities there as well. We loved our weekend!

First I'd like to say the photos don't fully capture the little details that make the house feel like a home. I was there with my family for 6 nights, and most of the time was spent outside on the paddle boards, or kayaks, or fishing - but we did have a rainy day where we played ping pong, fuse ball, and karaoke. A rainy day at the lake is always better than a sunny day at home. The sitting area outside near the firepit (right beside the water) was also great - we spent almost every evening there by the fire. Overall, the entire experience was fantastic. Jennifer is also a great host. She made sure we had all the information we needed upon arrival and check out, and was very quick to respond if the occasional question came up. We will be staying there again, and I definitely recommend this home for those looking for a nice vacation home.

Booked Holly's place for a week to fish Lake MI - even though we were 35 minutes from the launch, we really liked the location and solitude. We loved this place and space - and the price was great. This is a wonderful place for anyone seeking peace and quiet and worked very well with us - thank you Holly!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs, the place has plenty of space. Surprisingly, we really enjoyed the goats too. The only cons maybe are the dirt roads and few bugs - I’m just not used to them. The area is quiet though - we really enjoyed that. The host was very friendly - came twice to mow the lawn during our week, we only talked once.

This is our second stay at the cottage and the first stay we rated it a 5 star and we would rate higher this time if we could . We had a baby shower for our daughter and the cottage was PERFECT .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was easy to reach and provided great communication. The house was clean and even provided games, fire wood, along with everything else we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful walking neighborhood and nearby park. I would highly recommend this stay!

Thank you again for wonderful accommodations. This was our second stay at Owl & Anchor and it was even better than the first stay. The host is very thoughtful and the rental is stocked so well with any items needed. The weather did not allow us to kayak as planned since it was very windy but we made the best of our time and it was nice to have the extra throw blankets to toss over our laps on the chilly evenings. There are plenty of games to keep busy with when the weather does not cooperate and the cottage is super comfortable for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

The most peaceful, quiet and cozy stay ever 👌

Beautiful place! Lake was perfect size to let my 16 year old go kayaking by himself. The water was shallow enough for our dog to splash around without worrying about her. My husband and son caught their first fish!! ( They released it back into the water)! Owners were wonderful and responded quickly!

We booked this cabin for a nice little relaxing girls getaway and it was just that! Located in a very quiet neighborhood. The cabin itself was very nice and clean. Only snafu was the neighborhood was without power for several hours one evening (obviously not fault of the host). I would recommend this cabin to others and would definitely return. Thank you for hosting us Marissa!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute little lake house! Our family was very comfortable and had everything we needed! It was nice waking up lakefront during our stay in Harrison! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay especially the beautiful sunsets over the lake! It was clean and well appointed. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time! The hill down to the water is pretty steep, but the kids loved it. Unfortunately, the water was high and moving pretty fast, so we were unable to bring the kids out. Overall, we had a great time!

Better than described. Patti thought of all the little things and more.. We had a great time at the cottage and enjoyed fishing, boating, and relaxing times. It was a perfect getaway to unwind and allow for a great experience for my young daughter. 100% would recommend and will be booking again soon.

This place was quiet and comfortable. It was exactly what was needed for a small get away. Having the private beach to fish from was the best thing about this place. The host was very responsive and friendly. Overall this was a very pleasant place to stay!

Nice cozy place to spend on vacation. It had everything we needed including a comfy bed and great water pressure from the shower head! Thanks Jarred!

This place was a real find! It was quiet, cozy, comfortable and relaxing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. I have already booked this cottage for October and can’t wait to go back!
