Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tioga County

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

We had the best girls overnight! We loved how secluded and peaceful the house was. The surroundings were beautiful and we enjoy every minute. On the deck it felt as though you were at a retreat. The house was plenty big for the group of 6 we had and it was very clean and tidy. So thankful for all the amenities and how stocked the cabinets were with must haves. Our only complaint was that we wish we had planned 2-3 nights instead of 1. Would looooove to come back and make it a yearly stay. Thank you for sharing your amazing place 🙏

We had a wonderful trip. The property was huge and private. Zachary was very helpful with our check in when we arrived earlier than expected. He was always friendly very responsive when we had questions.

Tim's place is a sanctuary! We had a wonderful time looking at the stars from the hot tub, making s'mores at the campfire, and running on the hiking trails right off the property. It's located in the country, a pretty drive away from various waterfalls, cideries, the finger lakes, Ithaca's farmers market and other attractions. The kids were very sad to leave and barely went on screens the whole weekend. Great family memories and we would be happy to return!

The place was spacious and relaxing. It had a lot of charm - we loved the old farmhouse feel - and it had everything we needed. I appreciate little things like the electric tea kettle, and that there were extra towels in each bathroom. David was very responsive and helped when we had a small issue, but gave us plenty of space / privacy. We hope to return sometime soon!

Very quiet and peaceful location. Outstanding hot breakfasts delivered to our door every morning was so lovely. Very, very good food! The place was really quite clean, with the exception of some bugs but that’s to be expected in a cabin. The only thing we didn’t love was the water. It smelled very strong in the shower and in the hot tub. If you have smell sensitivity it may be a bit much. There’s probably not much they can do to change that though. We would come again. Our dogs were comfortable as well. A good experience overall. And the air conditioner worked great! It was very hot and humid outside and it stayed comfortable inside. We did bring our own box fan too.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Great stay, a very cozy place!

Christopher's place in a very convenient spot for us to visit friends in the area. We so fortunate that he was able to host last minute and was very responsive. As others have mentioned the bathroom is a bit small if you have a family member with broad shoulders but not a deal breaker. It was so nice that they had such a beautiful landscape and trails in their back yard for our puppy to go on a walk. Would stay again.

Stayed here for four days for a retreat after graduating college. Perfect getaway for one person. Beautiful home close to downtown Ithaca and lots of amazing hiking within reach as well as Cornell University. Exactly what I was looking for.

Springs Retreat offers a unique, delightful, and heartwarming escape at a stellar location in the Finger Lakes region. Nestled privately behind the main property in a serene wooded area, Springs Retreat is the perfect blend of nature and comfort, with unbelievably accommodating hosts to boot. The tiny cabin is peaceful, cozy, full of rustic charm, and oh so inviting for unwinding. The unfortunate downside is that your stay will eventually come to an end. I would absolutely stay here again and wouldn't flinch recommending it.

Very cute cabin. We loved stepping out onto the deck and enjoying our morning cup of coffee with the sound of the stream in close proximity and the lovely view of the trees. My husband enjoyed a little fishing on the pond within walking distance of the cabin. As mentioned in the description, it is very close to the road. If you're a light sleeper, take some ear plugs. Also, it is a cabin so note that there may be a critter or 2 inside the cabin and bug bites are very much a part of the experience. I woke up with several bites. The shared bathroom was clean with plenty of towels. The shared kitchen was also helpful. We did cook a little breakfast there every day. Of the 2 cabins available by this host, this one has a little more privacy. All in all, we would love to return in the future. Great hosts.

Great spot! The cottage itself was perfect for my wife, myself and 2 small dogs. It was comfortable, private, and mostly quiet. I say mostly as it is located alongside the primary wine trail road for east Seneca lake, so you will occasionally hear some cars whizzing by, but not bad at all, especially when inside. The location for me was also a big highlight! Closely located to some wonderful wineries/breweries, good eats, and parks. Watkins Glen is only like a 15 min drive. I would stay here again.

Quiet, convenient, comfortable, and unique. Hayt’s chapel was a great place for my friends and I to stay as we revisited Ithaca. It was convenient for going downtown or out to wineries. It was spacious with lots of useful amenities and was charming and comfortable. Alexa was easy to communicate with and gave very clear instructions and descriptions of everything. I would definitely recommend and stay there again myself!

Hello The description listed was perfect and exact. The interior decor is warm and homey. Perfect getaway. Kitchen had everything (we cooked a lot). All utensils/cupboards are super clean and organized. Grill and all garden furniture were impeccable.

It is the second time we stayed at Michelle’s place and it is one of the most favorite locations for us. Caught bunch of perch and bluegill at the lake and enjoyed our tea watching the sunset. Michelle is a great host.

This was a terrific stay. The hosts communication from beginning to end was as good as can be expected. The home was cozy and well appointed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. 5 stars, will recommend and return again. Thank you!

A great rustic getaway! It was great being between cayuga and seneca lakes - everything was a 20 min drive to see beautiful falls in every direction, great wineries/cideries (finger lakes cider house had amazing food to go with the cider), great restaurants (stonecat and elf in the oak) and Ithaca Farmer's Market (must see - so plan a Sat or Sun there). Sunsets were fabulous from the porch and over the fields and the hens were a joy to experience - so cute - and the gentle Q was so good with our cautious rescue pup. But the best part of the stay was Carey's hospitality - tending to every need and providing great suggestions of things to do/see tailored to our interests and giving us a true taste of the area - with local fresh eggs, fruit, wonderful baked bread, granola, cider, wine, cheese, baked goods and the best yogurt ever! We didn't even miss the tv (during football and world series even)!

Thank you, Brenda for sharing your wonderful home which made our trip even more special. With both our kids meeting up with us, the kitchen worked like a charm as they were very excited for a home cooked meal. Also, the description on the website matched very well, and it was clear how much the nightly rate would be beyond the two of us. We would certainly stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at Deborah's property! The location was perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes, and the house was cozy and accommodating for our group of six, plus our dog. It was also infant-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable. The hot tub and games were definite highlights, adding to the fun as we traveled from Canada to connect with family. Deborah's communication was excellent throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property!

Thanks so much- we loved our stay!

WE LOVED THE PLACE! Carrie and John were amazing hosts and their wonderful RV elevated our experience and memories that my boyfriend and I will be sure to cherish for a lifetime. For those of you wondering, a bathroom (toilet and shower stall) is located in the RV, however we preferred their bathhouse which was within easy walking distance. Kitchen is fully equipped with basic necessities such as utensils, pots, basic condiments etc. We appreciated the availability of an outdoor gas grill and gas stove that were fully functional. Also it's worthy mentioning there is a fire pit fully stacked with an ample amount of firewood [and a hilly-billy pool which we didn't get to enjoy due to weather]. For those who are planning on a day trip for Ithaca's beautiful scenery, the Buttermilk Falls State Park is about 20 minutes drive; and 15 minutes drive to the nearest Dollar General store should there be any last minute shopping. Overall, Carrie and John were very responsive and accommodating, hel

We had a great stay! So close to the cute city of Ithica and all its murals, but you're in the countryside! The property was the selling point for us, that huge yard and pond all fenced in was perfect for our dogs still learning recall. Sadly we spent so much time hiking, we didn't get to enjoy the property as much as planned. But we did get a little time in to hang out with the hosts' very sweet dog Gopher a bit and feed the catfish. We were especially appreciative of the ducks being penned for our stay. I was a bit worried about the dog chasing them, so that was a relief! The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We hope to return many times!

Can’t say enough positive things about sunset beach. The home was very clean and super spacious. We had 9 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us and it never felt crowded. The home and grounds are clean and well maintained. The views are fantastic. Unfortunately, our weather wasn’t great, so we couldn’t take advantage of the pool or lake. We still had a wonderful time. Jill, our host, was great. Very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this property.
