Vaulted ceilings throughout, a fully equipped kitchen and many other features including:

• Wireless Internet
• Smart TV with Roku and Bluray player (There is a Redbox in town to rent DVDs)

The property is surrounded by a public nature preserve with direct access to hiking trails. Our home is located at the end of a long gravel driveway through the woods, about 1500' from the main road.

Well-thought-out accommodations
The cottage was very clean, stocked with goodies (wine, water, milk, orange juice, fruit, soda, yogurt), and all the little touches considered. Janelle emailed me throughout the stay to ensure everything was working out. We really enjoyed our week-long stay here and appreciate the clean, well-thought-out accommodations and extra goodies. We booked another week in a few months to visit our son. We also had little baby frogs welcome us each morning at the stairs as we departed.

Quiet cabin living
The place is clean and quiet...all you see is forest when you look out of the windows. Perfect space for new family or couple.

Awesome Place to Stay
We stayed at this property while visiting Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region to celebrate our anniversary. It was very comfortable and convenient to the sights we wanted to visit. It was exactly as described and we enjoyed our visit tremendously. Janelle and Aaron are great hosts.

Why they chose this property

The property is surrounded by a public nature preserve with direct access to hiking trails and nature, yet located in close driving distance to Cornell and Ithaca

What makes this property unique

Ellis Hollow is country living at its best, featuring two nature preserves (the one surrounding our property and then another, more popular preserve two miles away with more extensive trails). You are secluded in natural beauty but only minutes away from all the amenities that Ithaca has to offer.
