Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tompkins County

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

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!

Zacharys place was clean, gorgeous and well appointed. He is a gracious host and we hope to go back when we can stay longer Highly recommend ☀️

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!

It was a beautiful little cabin with everything you could need and want! The breakfast they delivered was delicious! It was an all around easy and peaceful stay!

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!

This cottage is perfect for a relaxing and beautiful stay in the FInger Lakes area. We explored Corning Glass Museum and Watkins Glen State Park. Restaurants in Watkins Glen were great and JR Winery right up the road has a great wine list. Our space was so relaxing, between the view and hot tub, we were very happy with our visit.

This place is truly unique. It's a get away space for musicians who share it when they aren't using it. The place has been built up and settled in. It's gorgeous, the location and the barn architecture. But it's not uptight. It feels like late 60s - early 70s rock and roll, or like classic country music. Maddy's family has a phenomenal record collection and the stereo sounds SO good. The albums we brought came to life there. There's also an excellent book collection, lots of rock and music stuff but also philosophy, literature, eco books, and classic kids book (lots of kids books and a massive toy trunk with toys for kids of all ages!). The kitchen has got pretty much everything you need, and all the basic amenities and appliances. Around about are lots of area lamps, interesting hangings, colored glass, rugs, throws, and well cared for house plants. Finally, the pond and field have not been chemical killed. So, there are lots of birds, frogs, fish, and nests.

Great place. Very quiet and secluded. Plenty of firewoood

I really enjoyed staying at Anna's place for the last couple weeks. She was very friendly and I enjoyed the quiet location and peaceful back yard. I also really enjoyed taking runs on the quiet nearby roads passing by cornfields and farms.

Great place, exactly as described. If you are wanting some peace and quiet this is the place for you. The pond and the kayaks were the highlight for us. The cabin is a little rough with many creepy crawlies but you would expect that in a cabin in the woods Overall great place if you want a glamping experience and want to enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle

We had a lovely stay at Mayhill Farm. It is comfortable, clean, roomy, private, and serene. Not too far from Ithaca, and walkable to Dryden and a bike trail. Jacques is a friendly and attentive host. We held a small graduation party in the barn, and he went above and beyond to ensure the space was perfect for our gathering. We highly recommend this property!

Carolyn’s home is a great oasis in a beautiful and centrally located part of the Fingerlakes. It is very close to Ithaca as well as the areas wineries in the other direction. In this specific location, you have very easy access to activities and many excellent dining options, while being able to enjoy serene vistas and having your own private access to the water right from her home on the water. We have stayed in other areas of the Fingerlakes and feel Carolyn’s location really is our favourite. The home is well stocked inside out w everything you need from kitchen, to grill, to outdoor equipment for kayaking etc. Carolyn rented her place before Airbnb so the booking process and instructions have some extra paperwork/agreements than is usual for this community here, but it is well worth it. Carolyn is a great host who was always helpful and responsive, anticipating all needs and issues, eventual and even just potential. Many thanks for hosting us, Carolyn!

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.

the place was lovely, homey and quiet. Beth was nice and welcoming. we would only stress out that there is no kitchen and so no running water, except in the restroom. this is written out but just needs to be considered by guests. we still managed ok without it. thanks Beth

Gratitude and Grace is an escape from the ordinary. Its a beautiful unique property in the country that was just about perfect for me and 7 bridesmaids for my low key Bachelorette. The grounds are lovely and well maintained, as it is normally a wedding venue. The inside of the mansion is eclectic and vintage. Ron is very nice and accommodating as well. Some things i may improve: Soap was watered down in all bathrooms Beds werent exactly comfortable, they seemed very old. Hot tub was just nice, It didnt get very hot though and the water was a bit cloudy The most comfortable bed is in the tiny rennovated garden shed. Although peaceful, we did have to request it be opened so we had the 8th bed as advertised. 2 girls had to bunk up together the 1st night, no big deal but would have been nice to know the 8th bed wasnt automatically available. The 7th bed is a fun loft with a ladder above a king sized bed. It was cute, but the bed was very uncomfortable so no one wanted it.

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)!

This was our second stay here and it was even better than the first. They've added a restored Steinway baby grand piano to the house. If you play and haven't had the opportunity in a long time, or never, to play a baby grand, this would really put staying here over the top. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to the area and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

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
