Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ithaca

Our sons wedding was up the road and this was a perfect house for our family. Grandsons loved the games and swing set in the backyard. Wish we would have had more time to feed the fish in the pond and use the hot tub. Linda’s house was spotless and it was nice to have such a beautiful place to come back to at the end of the long days.

The property was just as described. It was immaculate, had appropriate amenities (great bathroom products, coffee supplied, plenty of towels) and was a very comfortable place. Back yard is tree and bush lined offering good privacy around the fire pit area. We would highly recommend this place.

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! :)

We had a wonderful stay, in a beautiful home and neighborhood. Our hosts made us feel right at home. It was an inviting and charming house. The deck and backyard were perfect for a small, family graduation gathering.

The place is lovely and worked well for my family. The cost of a two night stay doubled w tax, cleaning fees, etc. We almost cancelled due to the final cost for two nights. Is it possible to offer short stays the option of cleaning themselves to eliminate that cost?

Kym’s place was so cool! In the amazing Heritage Hill district with all of the beautiful historic homes. A big plus is they are LGBTQ-friendly- as a member of this community, it’s always good to know we have a safe place. And the space is large and beautiful, plus the best mattress I’ve slept on. Definitely would love to stay here again.

What an absolute "gem" in the woods. We couldn't have asked for a better host. Jennifer was very receptive and periodically checked "to make sure" everything was okay. The house was in a secluded and quiet wooded neighborhood. There is something to be said about enjoying a hot cup of coffee sitting and the porch and taking in the sights and sounds of autumn and the smell of the fallen leaves. The dogs had a great time exploring the fenced in yard. I have a passion for cooking and found the kitchen supplied with an abundant supply of cooking utensils and pots and pans with a large kitchen table to sit down and enjoy those dishes. Quiet time in the evenings were spent watching movies in the family rooms. The house is centrally located and never more than an hour away from our daily adventures in various areas in the state. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and would gladly stay here again.

This was our 2nd time staying here & everything was as we remembered. beautiful location & wonderful neighbors ❤️

Alayne was super responsive to my questions. The house is awesome. We had plenty of space to spread out. Loved the huge backyard and fire pit. Thank you so much.

Outstanding! Very clean. We clean up after ourselves so not getting slammed with a high house cleaning fee and other fees made this a great value for families. One of the best places we’ve ever rented and Becca was so nice to work with.

Annette’s home was the perfect place for my family as we celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The space was clean, spacious, and welcoming for all ages. The beds were super comfortable, the carpet was plush, and the air hockey table was a fun bonus! Annette communicated clearly and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d absolutely stay here again—she truly made us feel at home.

Robert was an amazing host! Very friendly, warm and made us feel right at home. The property far exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful and felt magical. We bought our granddaughter with us, and she had the best time. We all enjoyed exploring the gorgeous gardens and walking the trails, but she particularly loved the pond teaming with wildlife and hanging out with the chickens. It was the perfect place for a reset. We can’t wait to go back.

Great place to stay for a large family. Lakes’s Rental were great people to work with! They were on top of everything!

Frank was an amazing host! He was accommodating and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

One of the best Air BnBs I’ve rented! Place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We had kids of all ages and there were a lot of games indoor and outdoor for all of them plus the adults too! The bounce house, pool, and hot tub were used all weekend by everyone and the deck is perfect for hanging out. Drove out to Silver Lake and took some rides around the sand dunes, which was an easy 1 1/2 hr drive from the house. We even used the pizza oven and it was fantastic. The cherry on top was that the day of checkout we didn’t have to strip the beds, start the laundry, sweep/vacuum, and other things Air BnBs usually want done when you’re also paying a hefty cleaning fee!! This place was worth every penny and would not hesitate to book here again.

My mom is handicapped and needed certain things checked to make sure it would work for her. Robb worked with me to make sure that the house would be sufficient for my mom’s needs. Both Robb and Fawna were friendly and so helpful when I communicated with them. The house was perfect for what we needed and my family would definitely stay again.

We greatly enjoyed the stay here. It was close to our event, which was out in the “back 40”. It’s takes a little getting to, but it’s worth the drive…and the stay.

Very cozy, cute guesthouse in a super safe area. Bedroom and sitting room were huge and the bed was comfy. A quiet place, there were nice areas to walk around near the river and the park. Heidi was responsive and helpful and I will stay here again when visiting GR!

Adorably comfortable modern home on Canadian Lakes. We had a wonderful time here! The house had everything one would need, and plenty of space for our larger group. Susan, the property manager, made our stay effortless and was so nice and helpful in every way, even responding over the weekend to the couple of questions we had. Even the neighbors were super nice! We definitely will be back for a longer stay!

need a small get away? its the spot for sure. the grounds keeper is super helpful as well. quiet and peaceful
