An Ithaca NY Vacation Rental

6BR/4BA rental for 13 guests, minutes from Ithaca and the Finger Lakes.

Meet Shangri-Lodge, an Ithaca NY Vacation Rental located on the west hill. It’s a five minute drive to downtown Ithaca but a world away from city life. Country setting, city convenience. The house began as a 1950’s mid-century ranch. In the ’80’s the house doubled in size to include the great room. In addition, this home offers six bedrooms, four bathrooms, an amazing gourmet kitchen and a great open floor plan with 3600 square feet of space. Quite frankly, it is an awesome house.

The great room’s exposed wood beams, vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, and walk-in wood-burning fireplace are reminiscent of a mountain lodge. Skylights, picture and bay window, plus the house’s openness combine to provide an expansive airy feeling of space and beauty, inside and out. The lower level has an additional family room with 8′ pool table, large HDTV, electric fireplace and sofa. The room walks out to the 7 person Jacuzzi hot tub and creek beyond.

Our family met up in Ithaca to attend a family wedding. This property was amazing! It was clean, spacious and extremely well stocked. The outside property was beautiful with plenty of space for our 2 small grandsons to explore. They especially loved the creek. Mitch met us there and showed us the property, answered all our questions, and was very attentive thru out our stay. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Don’t hesitate to book here! It was an amazing place.

For over 30 years, five close college friends and I have gathered together, with our spouses, in different locations, for our bi-annual college reunion. This year we found this Shangri-Lodge in Ithaca…and what a find! The place was immaculate and the accommodations were top notch. We were especially impressed with the well-stocked kitchen – almost everything we could have possibly needed was there for us! We received excellent communication from the owners of the home, from the time of booking all the way through the end of our stay. The surrounding grounds, porches, and garden spaces were lovely. We really appreciated the many gathering spaces within the home as well. In fact, we were so impressed and so comfortable that we have decided to return to Ithaca for our next reunion in 2 years. We will be choosing this host again! Don’t hesitate to book here! It was an amazing place.

The pictures of this house looked amazing, but it was even better in person! There were 6 of us – girlfriends for many, many years and it was wonderful for each of us to have our own room. There was plenty of space in the well-stocked kitchen. Loved the huge island! The dining room was comfy and the room off the dining room was a great conversation area. We enjoyed the firepit and the gardens were so pretty! Would definitely recommend this gorgeous home. Also, Mitch showed us the property across the street that he had just finished redoing – SO PRETTY!!!!!!
