We stayed at the stone house during several visits to the Cornell Vet School. The location is rural and yet minutes from campus. The facilities are immaculate and the host extremely accommodating. I highly recommend you stay at the Stone Quarry House.

Simultanelusly eco-friendly and luxurious, one of a kind lodgings set in a stone quarry. Inside each unique little house you'll find master wood-working, Stickley furnishings, beautiful stone and wrought-iron and stained glass fixtures that could only have been created with each structure in mind. Very comfortable beds, and even the bathroom, which in our case was a separate unit, helped underscore the feel of the place. If you find yourself in Ithaca, it's a great place to stay.

My husband and I just spent 4 nights in the Stone Cottage. The moment we drove through the gated property we knew this would be a special mini vacation. No detail has been overlooked to make your stay as inviting and comfortable as possible. The design in this one room cottage has been maximized so your every whim is met. From the compact but totally useable kitchenette with freshly roasted and ground coffee left for the guests, to a huge and very comfortable heated bed with luxurious bedding, relaxing Stickley style furniture, wood left daily for the fireplace everything is done to perfection by the very caring owners. Very environmentally friendly space and surroundings as well. Our cottage was surrounded by windows on every side leaving us with a beautiful and serene view of the property especially pretty in the snow. Nancy one of the owners, went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Stranded an extra night due to a snow storm, she made sure we were comfortable and brought us homemade bread when the storm worsened! The attention to detail makes all the difference. With our son in college, we've spent many weekends here and I have to say nothing has compared to our stay here. I believe aside from the beautiful setting and the cottage itself, is the incredible attention to detail. Something I don't see. They have truly thought of every little thing to make your stay like home away from home. One of our more relaxing getaways in a long time. Competitively priced with all the other places in Ithaca with great rates this time of year and far more value than your local hotel or B&B. Thank you Nancy and Buzz we'll be back!

I made a nonrefundable reservation for 3 nights and paid 1013$ up front. 3 months after the reservation was paid for and confirmed, the owner notified me that they want more money and doubled the price to 2052$ + tax. The owner refused to honor the reservation, leaving me scrambling to find a different place, which was not easy as hotels in the area had no vacancies. (note: for the When did you travel review question, I used the date I made the reservation)

Spent two nights in the Stone Cottage. Wonderfully cozy for a short fall stay in Ithaca. Fireplace was a beautiful touch. They have clearly thought of all the little details - hooks in every place you'd want one, coffee for the press, just enough creamer for 2 days, electric kettle (much needed for making warm bottles for the baby), small fridge. Quiet but close to downtown and Cornell. Parking just out the front door. Would definitely stay here again over a hotel or bed and breakfast any day.
