Long Weekend in FLX

Judy's Guest House is in a great, central location for exploring Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. The house was just as described and was a wonderful home base for us. It was quiet and peaceful while also providing ample space for relaxing, playing games, and watching TV. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Great stay between the Lakes and Wineries!

Our stay in Judy's guesthouse was great -- the pricepoint for location between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes + the wineries is unmatched. The house felt private and had a nice grassy lawn in the back for our dog to run around. Additionally, we had everything we needed for home cooking, between the grill outside and a full kitchen. We would stay here again!

Great Location

For needing to be in both T-burg AND Ithaca over the weekend, this location was perfect. Loved the more secluded feel and the fireflies were amazing! Comfy beds, decently stocked kitchen and sufficient furniture for our group to sit/eat comfortably. There were some cobwebs and more than a couple spiders, so we rated the cleanliness a little lower.

Quiet house between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes

My friends and I spent the weekend in the Finger Lakes celebrating my birthday. The house was nicely laid out and offered plenty of space for all of us. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen and great tv in the living area to watch the US Open. Was close to Ithaca, hiking areas and of course wineries. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great home base for exploring the Finger Lakes

We had a great time staying at Judy's Guest House. It is a great starting point for exploring the Finger Lakes, being close to Cayuga Lake and lots of wineries & cideries. The kitchen provided everything we needed for cooking breakfasts and would have been fine for lunch and dinner if we weren't out running around. Beds were comfortable, and the heating and a/c worked well. Lots of space for our dogs to stretch out and plenty of good smells to investigate out in the yard. A nice comfortable place to stay, especially if you have pets that travel with you. We'll definitely be back!

Quiet get away

The location was perfect. Close to State Parks, dog park, restaurants, breweries and wineries. The house was comfortable but it could use updating particularily the kitchen and bathroom. The outdoors was not recently landscaped. The owner was very responsive and sent someone to clear some of the overgrowth so that we could access the babbling brook which our 2 dogs enjoyed.

Clean but old

The house was clean and orderly, beds made up and television worked fine. There is an odor when you run the water both in the kitchen and bath. Also a few bugs inside but nothing harmful. We needed to turn on the heat and that worked perfectly. I also appreciated the simple check-out instructions.

quaint and cozy

our first impression was not the best----the towels had a rather unusual order---my wife said 'musty'. Also unable to turn on TV according to the directions provided. The caretaker showed up and exchanged the towels and also showed us how to manually turn on the TV and a separate unit for the audio. The kitchen also had a sponge that was black on one side---which was thrown away. After that---things improved. The location was great for us The grill worked very well. AC was needed and worked flawlessly. The beds were comfie. All kitchen appliances worked well and we had a wonderful time in the back yard----very relaxing and refreshing.
