Graduation

Granddaughter graduated from Cornell University and rooms in Ithaca were extremely overpriced and we were so happy to find Moon cottage! Our only “Wish for” was a step to get onto the porch. Eshay is a delightful host!

Peace and Quiet in a Comfy Cottage

Eshay made an excellent impression on us from Day One, including helping us to change our reservation from one lodging to another. The cottage was exactly as described, clean, charming, and new, and well equipped with the essentials. Eco-friendly soaps, compost bin, and composting toilet were right up our alley. Morning sun warmed up the living room/kitchen area, and toasted my back as I read by bright sunlight each morning. Heavenly! And so lovely and silent at night. Forest Moon is a rustic gem.
