Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Ulysses

My fiance and I greatly enjoyed staying at Marion's place! She had very quick and helpful responses to our questions and everything was set up extremely well for us when we arrived. They had a very detailed list of places to eat and visit to explore the nearby area, which was very helpful. We would certainly come back!

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.

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.

We loved this house! Exactly as described. Very clean, well maintained, cute decor with personal touches, but it’s the views that are incredible, beautiful, and peaceful. The location is stunning, and the amazing Taughannock Falls are less than a mile down the road. Andy was responsive, friendly and welcoming. We were in town for college graduation (IC or Cornell are about a 20 minute drive), with parents and grandparents. Was a great spot for all of us. When I asked if there was an iron (had to get those graduation clothes ready!), Andy made sure one was in the house for us when we got there. One thing to know - the beach and the dock are down a steep set of stairs. Andy offered use of his tram if we needed help getting down there, so that’s a nice option. There is a nice grassy area and dock by the water. I highly recommend this place!

What a beautiful place to stay! Quiet, peaceful, and the views were outstanding. The home is extremely clean, well-organized, and comfortable. Its age adds to its charm. Samantha was friendly, responsive, and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

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.

Brittany and Kenny were friendly, responsive and thoughtful every step of the way. We had a brief power outage, and they helped us with a little issue afterwards in no time flat. I would highly recommend The Riesling Ranch for comfort, beauty, access to wineries/restaurants/indoor and outdoor activities, shopping and just plain peace and quiet.

Nooshin's home was amazing! Extremely grateful we were able to book this home for Cornell's Graduation. It was a 10 minute drive to the school and a perfect location that accommodated all of our needs. It had a great living room and kitchen that served as a good place for our family to hang out and spend time with one another. Thank you!

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.

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.

We loved Glenn and Dianna's place. All the furniture, decor, etc. was great for relaxing and unwinding. The deck (with firepit and grill) has a breathaking view of Seneca Lake, and there are so many restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. all within a few miles. Also easy access to Watkins Glen and its walkable, quaint downtown. The message we received for checking in was probably the most detailed and helpful we've gotten from any host. Very precise directions for parking, entering the apartment, etc., and lots of information about local restaurants, wineries, etc. It was a pleasure meeting them both, as they are super friendly and genuinely nice people. It is about a half hour or a little more to Ithaca from here (we were in the area for our daughter's college graduation), with an easy trip over scenic back roads. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque, private and comfortable spot in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

Melissa is an absolutely amazing host! She not only provided some breakfast items, but also personally welcomed us in the evening with a warm introduction and thoughtful recommendations for local food and attractions. We truly loved her and appreciated everything she did for us. The house itself was incredibly cozy and filled with warmth—it’s clear that the owner has a deep love for life. There were beautiful flowers, charming decorations in every corner, and adorable Jellycat plushies that added a lovely touch. If our travel schedule had allowed, we would have loved to stay even longer.

Kirk and Mardi were great hosts and made sure we had resources available both for the bnb and the area!

Loved our stay at Allison's place. The lakefront location was unbeatable! Property was exactly as described. It was very spacious and comfortable. We hope to return!

Had a comfortable and peaceful 7 night stay at this lovely apartment. Theresa was friendly, left clear check-in/out instructions, and was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The apartment was tidy and clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable week-long stay. The generous welcome basket was a nice touch. I also appreciated the safe, quiet neighborhood and easy drive to Cornell and nearby shopping/restaurants. Would stay again when in Ithaca!

This is an older home but very well kept, clean and tidy, with some lovely updates, and just a short stroll from a stunning waterfall. The decor is cozy and welcoming, the neighborhood beautifully quiet and peaceful. The kitchen could be slightly better stocked but was still quite serviceable, and William and his team were very responsive, kind, and helpful hosts--we had a few different issues we needed help with on our trip, and they promptly responded to and resolved all of them with tip-top courtesy! Do note that the listing says the place has window AC, but these aren't installed during the winter, so if you are traveling in late Spring or early Fall, it's worth double-checking with the host before you arrive to make sure the home has them--our nighttime temps were in the upper 60s, but that was still too warm to sleep comfortably in the house without AC.

Charming, modern, clean, and comfortable cabin!!! Spectacular views!!! Beautiful, private, quiet property!! Easy to get to, very close to breweries, wineries, Watkins Glen... Just lovely!!

Very nice stay in a quiet and peaceful location.

What a lovely place!! It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing some wildlife! Perfect for our little getaway in the woods.

Great place to visit. The host was super responsive and generously left fresh farm eggs for us! The place is cute and comfortable and on a farm. We booked this super last minute and they were beyond accommodating! Allowed flexible check out and was really helpful with local recommendations. The bed was really comfortable and the place was spotless. Only a 5 minute drive to Watkins glen! Highly recommend!!

Stayed for Memorial Day weekend with my wife. Nice romantic getaway, close to Watkins Glen State Park and local wineries. Great view of the lake and sunset. Very clean little cabin, exactly as described. Will definitely consider again. Tip- save enough hot water for your partner to shower!

Joe's property exceeded all expectations by a mile. VERY comfy, cozy, and clean! As soon as we "checked in", we were wishing we'd reserved it for more than one night. Especially with all that the area has to offer. Very convenient to Hammondsport, Point of the Bluff Music venue/vineyard, and Bully Hill. There are few AirBnB properties that we've stayed, where we would have come just for the property, itself... this is one of them. Very well appointed... all the details have been thought of here, from the screened in porch, and the fireplace in the living area, to the quiet out-of-the-way space in the loft. As fairly new empty-nesters who now have more space than we know what to do with, as well as soon-to-be retirees, wifey and I agreed that we could see ourselves being quite content retiring in just such a space. Two thumbs up... way up!

Sarah was an excellent and informative host. She offered helpful tips and her cabin is clean, beautiful and tucked into the woods along the lake. Highly recommended! Thanks so mucy!

Kc was incredibly responsive and helpful, quick to answer any questions and offer suggestions. The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making our stay extremely comfortable. We especially appreciated the unique decor, fully equipped kitchen and peaceful surroundings-a wonderful quiet and relaxing stay.
