Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Tompkins County

This was such a lovely AirBnb, clean, comfortable and just a 10 minute walk to Cornell University. From check-in to check-out Randi and her husband were just wonderful -- they left us snacks and even bought us organic milk from a local dairy. The greatest hosts I've ever had at an AirBnb and just a lovely home in a beautiful, nice area.

We really loved the cabin. It was comfortable, clean and really well equipped. The location was perfect - in peaceful surroundings but close enough to Ithaca, Cayuga Lake and the beautiful state parks. Janelle and Aaron are such lovely hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Daniel’s home offered our family a peaceful and cozy space surrounded by nature during our Ithaca visit. The house’s location is very convenient: it is close to a grocery store, pharmacy, gas station, Ithaca Commons, Cornell, and Ithaca College. Daniel was a responsive and friendly host, and the home had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay and feel at home.

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.

Easily now one of our favorite places to stay! Absolutely spotless and in a peaceful locale (we even saw a woodpecker!) Drivable to both Seneca and Cayuga and to Ithaca. Major kudos to Diane and Glen for not only creating a charming and welcoming space with so much thought and care, but ALSO for making it affordable! I have had some terrible, terrible experiences with AirBnB hosts cancelling my reservations to gauge me for more money when they realize it's commencement for one of the colleges, even if that's not remotely the reason for our visit. Finding this listing was fate! I will definitely try to book again in the future. And hopefully the weather will be nicer!

Tali is friendly and a clear communicator. The house was perfectly located for us as we were visiting my son who lived a block away. It was also in easy walking distance of most locations we wanted to go to and a short ride from the airport. We did hear the kids upstairs during the daytime but this did not disturb us. We would stay here again.

This was a great house in a great location. Communication from owners was excellent, and house was well set up for guests. Would definitely stay here again.

This space is absolutely incredible. Exceeded all of my expectations for comfort and tranquility. Spacious and stunningly curated. I will be booking my next stay immediately! Cannot recommend enough.

Jagadish's house is amazing. We stayed here for my daughter's graduation and love it. It is spacious and very clean. The gardens are stunning.

We were in the Ithaca/Newfield area for a wedding and did not want downtown Ithaca. This was 5 minute drive from wedding location and only 10 minutes into Ithaca. Ideal for us. It was clean, all the comnforts of home and Dan & Jackie were so responsive to any questions we had.

Well equipped and roomy kitchen with nice view of the backyard garden and forest. Nice spot for early morning birding! We loved the large sitting room and chairs on the front porch. Quiet and private! Kim was super helpful. Loved pur stay!

Lovely, well stocked apartment in a beautiful setting! Thank you!

Great location around lots of amazing hiking. The apartment felt private and had everything we needed. Shower pressure was amazing and we loved relaxing in the hot tub after a full day of hiking. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Cathy did everything for us to help us feel at home and we really did. Although the weather was rainy and cold we enjoyed the warmth of her welcome with extra blankets and fresh huge muffins. Cathy accommodated all our needs, she is very friendly and we highly recommend staying at her charming place.

This is by far one of the best Airbnbs that I have stayed in. The location was perfect and the place was clean. It was super cute and perfect for me and my two daughters. The hot tube was an added plus too!! Would absolutely stay there again! The hosts were super friendly and so helpful. They felt like family. ❤️❤️❤️

Brittney's apartment is a great place in a quiet neighborhood. It is an easy walk to Ithaca Commons where there are multiple food and entertainment options. We loved having use of the washer and dryer. It was a perfect long weekend getaway.

Megan was a great host. Her place was clean and easy to get in and out of without an issue. Everything was spotless. She was very accommodating and her communication was great. We went up for Cornell's graduation weekend. It was easy to get to from her place. If we were ever headed there again, we would definitely book with her again.

Comfortable, extremely clean and very convenient location. Wonderful accommodations for my family especially the well stocked modern, spacious kitchen.

Location location location!!! Walked to ski. No lines, no parking, loved it. If you value convenience over modern decor, this is THE place to stay at GP.

This was a repeat visit and another great experience! The apartment was perfect, super convenient to our events and we again appreciated the convenience and excellent fare of the Rye and the Garage restaurants. THE place to stay in Elmira!

Wonderful place to stay, very private, very convenient. It's very clean. Hosts were unobtrusive and communicative via app. Instructions were clear. Our party consisted of 2 adults and 4 children, ages 8 to 12. The accommodations worked very well. Cozy space, we really only needed to be there to shower and sleep. Would stay again.

A quiet rural setting only about 13 minutes from Cornell. A very good value for the money. I would stay again.

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

The apartment was adorable and well decorated. It seems as if they had thought of everything! Shalisa was also extremely responsive and friendly. 10/10 would recommend her place.
