Another Wonderful Ithaca Stay

This was our third stay at Branka’s and once again everything was perfect. It’s our Ithaca home away from home!

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this place. It was well equipped and the hosts were very kind. We will stay here again when we are in the area. It's a great location for biking, kayaking, and visiting all the waterfalls and state parks in the area.

Highly recommend! Would absolutely stay here again! Branka was an amazing host, very quick with communication, made sure we had everything we needed at check in and even offered an airport pick up (we didn’t need it but was a nice offer). Her place was cozy and comfortable with plenty of lthoughtful touches like snacks, mints on the kitchen table and information on local attractions. We also loved how convenient it is to Ithaca College and downtown Ithaca. Thank you Branka!

Great Stay

Our 3 person family visited Ithaca for a concert/long weekend and this was an excellent place for a small family. Everything was clean and tidy. Not "in town" so you don't get the noise of the city, but close enough that it's not an inconvenience to get around if you want to do in town activities.

So much better than a hotel!

We enjoyed quite a lovely stay. The apartment was so comfortable, cozy and clean! The hosts were amazing, providing clear communication, both via text/email as well as easy instructions for anything we might need inside the apartment. They thought of everything: from toiletries to snacks and cold waters to full-sized umbrellas by the door. Highly recommended!!

The property was perfect. It was everything we needed. Extremely clean. If we are ever in Ithaca again we will surely try to stay here. The host was available if we needed, but gave us our privacy. I would absolutely recommend that others stay at this location.

Loved our stay here!! The hosts have thought of everything — it’s well-stocked with everything you need. They are so kind and will go beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. The place is quiet and peaceful. It worked really well getting to / from campus. Close enough to take quick breaks between activities but far enough to feel away from “the grind.” Will definitely be back!

Parents Weekend Stay

We recently traveled to Ithaca for Parents Weekend and had the absolute pleasure of staying at this meticulos property. The hosts communication prior to and at arrival could not have been better. This warm and friendly family makes you feel right at home. The apartment is beautifully decorated and spotless. Every detail is thought of along with snacks, amenities for the bathroom etc. We will be back!

Charming downstairs apartment in quiet neighborhood

Extremely well maintained downstairs apartment. Kitchen looked like it had recently been renovated. Newer appliances. Lots of little extras, like water, snacks, toiletries, etc. Towels and linens were provided. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Hosts did a great job of communicating with us before and after we arrived.

Perfect Ithaca Trip

It started 2 weeks before our trip. Branka was AMAZING. The communication was excellent and she is so very friendly. The apartment is beautiful, newly re-decorated, and in a perfect location to see the most in the Finger Lakes. We were absolutely comfortable and the little touches throughout the apartment made it even more memorable. Ive already recommended to friends and would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect getaway in the finger lakes. We will DEFINITELY be returning

Clean and comfortable

The space was absolutely clean. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a coffee maker and an electric tea kettle. There were snack items waiting for us. Branka was incredibly easy to communicate with. It was nice to have a Wegman's grocery store nearby. Sometimes we didn't feel like either cooking or eating out, so we liked buying some meals to heat up and eat. I'd definitely stay at this location again!

Spotlessly clean, attention to detail, fabulous stay!

The owner, Branka, as well as her husband were lovely. The apartment is spacious with a very large bedroom and well equipped kitchen. Branka had gone above and beyond in so many ways, from a little basket of snack foods to a multi cable charger to plugs in the outlets in case someone was traveling with a little one. The apartment was immaculate and had very pleasant (and new) furnishings that made us feel cozy. The location is excellent if you want to go into Ithaca, walk by the river, visit Cornell or Ithaca College, head to Buttermilk Falls or Robert Treman state park, or visit some wineries. We were also very close to Ithaca Beer Company. This was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely stay again!

Felt Right at Home!

My husband & I spent a week at this very comfortable & cozy apartment while visiting good friends in Ithaca. Branka and her husband have done a splendid job of renovating and decorating and the effort they put into the remodel definitely shows. The furniture is very comfortable, the decorating nicely done, a “welcome” goodie basket awaited us as well as refrigerated water bottles. There are thoughtful touches throughout and the large guest umbrellas came in very handy! Branka was quick to respond to our inquiries. The apartment is conveniently located to downtown - and Wegmans! We would not hesitate to return.

Nice base for exploring Ithaca

Very well maintained and comfortable one bedroom unit in two level residential building. Everything was in great working order, furnishings are new. Pretty ideal for a couple who wants to do some of their own cooking. Owners live on top floor, friendly folks. Jacuzzi and outside table are included in set up.

Super time in Ithaca

This was probably one of the most enjoyable VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. We were there for our 60th High School reunion. The hosts were very helpful and great to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience (well I guess we could have asked but it would not have happened since everything was perfect). A very modern and spacious accommodation in a very quiet area. Deer were browsing this morning as we were preparing to leave. Very idyllic. Next time our travels take us to Ithaca, we will definitely stay here. You should too since you will not be disappointed. Bill and Lyn Thomas

No detail overlooked! 5* Experience!

Branka and Zoran were the PERFECT hosts. Every little detail was attended to: spotlessly clean, hot water, great shower pressure, welcoming decor, streaming TV service with ALL the channels you love (HBO-MAX, NETFLIX, PARAMOUNT, DISNEY+ etc etc), extra bathroom essentials provided (SUPER fluffy towels, shampoo, toothpaste, youth brushes, mouthwash), snack basket, security nightlights to light your way to the private rear entrance (a little steep, so watch your step!), very cool in the summertime (a natural gas stove is provided for cozy winter nights), TRANQUIL setting where your door opens to 180 degrees of pristine forest with birds singing and chipmunks and squirrels playing in the morning), an adjustable bed (!), fan, spacious, clean fridge, fully supplied kitchen, comfy living room area. WI-FI. THUS PLACE HAS IT ALL at very reasonable rates for Ithaca. AVOID THE OVER-DEVELOPED AND NOW-CONGESTED ITHACA DOWNTOWN AREA: Stay with Branka and Zoran’s place and treat yourself to a real retreat! (Yes, they heaven provide a meticulously maintained SPA, right outside your door, even though we did not take advantage of it)

A Lovely Place to Stay

My family and I spent several days at Branka’s rental. It was perfect for the three of us. It was welcoming, sparkly clean, roomy and beautifully decorated. When we arrived we found a basket of snacks and cold water. Branka also thoughtfully treated us to a bottle of local wine to help us celebrate our anniversary. The apartment is located in a wooded neighborhood very close to downtown and the state parks. We especially liked listening to the birds while we ate our breakfast outside on the patio. It is a very sweet place and we would stay there again. .

One of the best places

Branka and her husband are one of best hosts in our experience. The property is super clean, well managed and hassel free. It's charming and cozy and the owners have put a lot of thought and work to make sure it has every amenity. Do stay here if you are in Ithaca.
