Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ithaca Falls

What a lovely stay! The cottage's location right on Keuka Lake was absolutely perfect, offering amazing wildlife and lake activity. We truly appreciated the privacy and genuine homey feel – made us feel immediately comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. We'd definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay and being right on the water is beautiful. The dock has lights and looks especially enchanting at night. A very nice modern, fully equipped kitchen and large bathroom with plenty of storage. Please keep in mind that all the bedrooms and places to sleep are upstairs, and there is no bathroom upstairs. If you have any mobility issues or if you’re half asleep to go use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you will have to go down the spiral staircase to access the only bathroom, which is downstairs.

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 ☀️

Stayed for my partners birthday, the cabin and property were beautiful! It was super easy to find and enter, the Magic Castle staff were quick to provide information to make our stay comfortable. Charcoal and firewood for grill and fire pit were easily accessible and the hot tub was clean and so relaxing! They bring breakfast in the morning, the homemade donuts were amazing! We brought our dog and they had so many resources available including a lead for the yard. All and all we had a great time and will be returning!

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.

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.

We were in town for our son's graduation from Hobart and wanted a place on the lake to enjoy the waterviews and peace during a hectic weekend. Laura's place has great views of the water and is beautiful, cozy and comfortable inside. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and snacks in the fridge when we arrived. The house has everything you need including a well-stocked kitchen and lots of extras in the bathrooms if you forget something. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it was a bit cold and windy, so we mostly enjoyed Seneca Lake from indoors! We did use the hottub and enjoyed that and she does provide hottub towels right by the back door so you don't have to worry about bringing extra with you. We'd love to try it again in better weather!!

Our stay was wonderful! We enjoyed that not only was it pet friendly, but there were toys already there for our dog to play with, as well as treats and poop bags! It was a cute and cozy home, with a great kitchen and beautiful bathtub upstairs. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch, my dog especially loved it. He would whine at the front door to go back out there! It was also a very convenient location, only a few minutes to Market Street in Corning. Would recommend!

Michele and Andy were friendly, helpful, hospitable hosts, and their farm is beautiful! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend surrounded by their horses, cows, fields and forests. The house itself has rustic, unpolished, handmade charm and is decorated very tastefully. The bed was comfortable, the wood stove was easy to use and helped us stay warm for our winter visit. Michele was accommodating of our arrival and departure times, going out of her way to try to help us adjust plans to match the weather. She was also very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations and information about the area. We highly recommend staying here!

Catharine did a fantastic job setting us up with a wonderful home right on Seneca lake. She was verry attentive, and did her best to meet the requests or queries we had. Magnolia is a beautiful property and I would love to go back again. Very close to some local wineries which we indulged ourselves in, the town of Geneva is pretty cool too with some good restaraunts and friendly people. I loved this trip, it was just what we all needed before we start a busy summer season. Thanks again Catharine!

A great outdoorsy and rustic place to stay. Clean with good vibes and relaxing views. Very friendly cats. Outdoor shower was clean with its own heater and had decent water pressure. At night small lights were blinking like fireflies so you could find your way with beautiful ambiance. I would certainly go again here.

The house was extremely nice, well appointed and beautifully decorated. Great space for two couples with the two king beds and two full bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with glasses, dishes, and cooking equipment. Great location being just a mile from the center of town for shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Brian & Melissa’s home was very nice and accommodating. We were only there for the night but everything was perfect. I would definitely like to come back and stay again and spend more time exploring the area.

Karen's home was comfortable, clean and well stocked in the kitchen and bath. I felt it was in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Thanks for being such a great host Karen!

This is the third time we’ve stayed here and we couldn’t be happier. We will continue to come back. The setting is beautiful. The house is always clean. The location is great

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!

Our extended family of 8 stayed here for Colgate's 2025 graduation weekend. The location was definitely further away than I wanted (not the host's fault of course) but it ended up working out great. Door to door it's a 35 minute drive, so while we weren't able to go 'back and forth' as much as if we were staying closer, it was a great place to wake up in and return 'home' to at the end of the day's events. There was plenty of room for two sets of grandparents, two siblings and the grad's parents. We loved making coffee and breakfast in the morning and enjoying the absolutely glorious view from the house, plus the kitchen table was a fun end of day gathering spot for us all. Shawn was communicative and accommodating, especially when one pair of guests were way ahead of arrival time, allowing them to enter the property early. I had not been aware of DeRuyter or the lake prior to this, but am glad we had the opportunity to enjoy this home and the area!
