About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Timber Garden Cottage

This entire stunning home is waiting for you! It has classic timber frame construction boasting large beautiful wood beams, lots of light, and a rustic feel. Both spacious and cozy at the same time!

This unique converted space is the former home of a plant nursery and my bakery! It was converted to a year round home a few years ago, so its beautiful with a few quirks... like two ovens, exit signs, and lots of baking supplies! This is a peaceful space that has been loved and thoughtfully curated. I hope you enjoy!

All parts of the home will be available to you during your stay, except for the storage room... which is less than exciting anyway!

Located centrally to all things Ithaca,
7-10 mins drive to downtown, 15 mins to both Cornell and Ithaca College, and a few miles to Taughannock State Park, the beginning of the Cayuga Wine trail, and Trumansburg. This cottage puts you close to all things Ithaca!

** New bathroom renovation completed Jan 2022!

We loved our stay at the Timber Garden Cottage It was close enough to downtown but too close. We loved being in the quiet outside of the downtown but loved we could fry to it easily. We will absolutely rent again when we go up to see our student.

A beautiful stay
We had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully crafted and spacious. We enjoyed the outdoor patio next to the gardens with a glass of wine. The location is perfect - close to downtown Ithaca, but far enough away that you don't know its there. Close to the lake and many wineries and breweries. We had a nice time at Bet the Farm Winery, which is just a skip down the side road. We also enjoyed Knapp Winery, Goose Watch Winery, Liquid State Brewery, Buttermilk Falls and Taghaunick Falls. We hope to come back again!

Charming and Unique
We enjoyed our stay. Great location. The cottage is exactly as described, very charming. The mattress and linens are high quality and comfy. Probably the nicest most contemporary bathroom we've had in a private rental. Audra provided full sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and toilet paper. More generous than a high end hotel. Plenty of glassware, dishes etc. and all very clean. Audra was nice enough to leave some healthy snacks in the counter bowl to welcome us. If I had to leave one constructive critique - some of the pots/cookware were grimy. Probably due to not being used in a while or whomever did use last did a rush job washing. Easily remedied and small issue in the scheme of things. It gave me a great excuse not to cook much :) Plenty of cleaning supplies were provided so we could clean up throughout our week's stay, if needed. Overall, cozy and enjoyable. We will be back.

Cute, Clean, and Comfy!
We enjoyed our stay at Timber Garden Cottage. It was the perfect location for all the sightseeing we wanted to do, including Buttermilk Falls State Park, Robert H. Treman State Park, Taughannok State Park, the Sheldrake Winery, and the Fingerlakes Cider House. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated, cute, clean and comfortable!

Cozy & Comfy
Over all we loved the rental! We slept well after we hiked 3 water falls, and visited both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Several items could have better .... such as a Keurig with coffee cups instead of the "French Press" coffee. All & all we had a wonderful time!

Cozy Getaway
My spouse and I stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the post and beam interior and its unique decor. It is located on a busy road, but we really didn't notice the traffic noise while inside. It is conveniently close to Ithaca where we dined at the Ithaca Bakery (would recommend visiting there) and the Moosewood Restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is also very close to many beautiful waterfalls which we visited. All in all, a great place to visit and a really nice cottage to enjoy after our outings.

Ithaca getaway
This VRBO was cute. A couple of comments/suggestions…since the floor is concrete, I definitely suggest some more area rugs as floor got chilly in the morning and evening. Secondly, lots of lightbulbs were out in the rental. The 2nd floor loft was nice but floorboards were very creaky so if someone got up during the night to use the bathroom the other person definitely was woken up even though we tried to be quiet. Bathroom was updated and nice with nice amenities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as only 8 minutes or so from downtown, wineries and hiking places. It was a different VRBO for us with its unique charm.
