Great Experience

This was by far the best VRBO we have ever been at. The owners were responsive, respectful of our privacy and have literally thought of everything. The property was clean and had everything you would need for a day or a week and then some. highlhoghly.recommend

Beautiful, Well-Built Home

We very much enjoyed our stay at Cayuga Hill Homestead. The hosts communicated promptly and left thoughtful check-in gifts and notes. Everyone who used the kitchen remarked on how well-outfitted it is. The house as a whole is well-appointed. Children especially enjoyed all of the board games, the foosball and ping pong tables, and the soaking tubs, Unlike many Vrbo homes, this house looked and felt new and luxurious. We hope to return in the future.

Little House in the Ithaca Woods

My family so enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving at this beautiful, graciously appointed, cabin in the woods. Close to Ithaca and all the Cornell University activities, and the many, many, outdoors recreational opportunities, this house is the perfect launching pad for a family gathering. Highly recommend!

Amazing Stay!

My friends and I spent three nights at this beautiful home. We were blown away with how large, clean, private and well-stocked the house was. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and cooking meals in the large kitchen. The guidebook and communication with the host was super helpful. The house is ideally located between Watkins Glenn and Ithaca, so we were able to visit both those towns and nearby hiking spots. I'd LOVE to rent this place again!

Another Great Stay!

This was our second stay at the Cayuga Homestead! Despite the rainy weather, everything was excellent. We enjoyed the TV on the main floor and watched many movies and relaxed. Kids had fun playing games in the basement. Kitchen had everything we needed and we took advantage of the waffle maker this time. What a hit! Excellent communication from Daura. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Daura Driscoll & Jamal Diboun

We recently built this brand new custom home with our family construction business. This home has never been lived in. We have lived in his area for 18 years and love the Finger Lakes so much we wanted to create a beautiful home for people to come enjoy all this area has to offer year round.

Why they chose this property

This property has 360° views, meadow, and hardwood forest to be enjoyed in all seasons. It is a great springboard for any Finger Lakes adventure. Short drive to Ithaca and Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and Ithaca College, or Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake.

What makes this property unique

This is a custom built home unlike any other with the barn wood features, charm, and lots of character. So much to do inside and outside the home, it will be hard to leave the property.
