I love the porches! Front of house was beautiful. Back was ok. But one side was all dirt and not attractive. Loved the lighting at night.

A very lovely place

I will be back. It’s an inn. A very lovely, cozy Inn. My major issue was the fact that it was cold and I couldn’t turn on the heat for some reason. It’s also in the middle of nowhere, but they have a water filter which I think is the most essential thing and they have breakfast type things. The Wi-Fi works as well

Wow, beautiful house

We were in Ithaca for graduation weekend. I wish we knew about this house sooner, would have loved to spend the whole weekend. Bus from Ithaca town was a short walk. We stayed one night in 3 of the 5 bedrooms. Christian meet us and told us the history of the barn and set up the bbq grill for us. We had a nice family dinner. The kitchen was well equipped. The rooms were clean and comfortable with ensuite bathrooms. I would love to return here and book the entire house. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy so we couldn’t enjoy the large screen porch, the decks and the front porch.

This property was awesome. It's super cute, the common places makes you feel like you rented a full home for the price of a room. I would definitely recommend it to everyone traveling to the Ithaca region.

Nice place

Was excited to stay based on reviews. Arrived without getting any info on checkin or a contact. Were several guys staying there who helped figure out keypad for our room and front door. They were nice but i was glad not to be alone. Had problem with keycode and my kid being stuck in room. Otherwise, was quiet, comfortable and nice place.

The owner set up a bed for our daughter after I made the mistake of booking a single queen room. It was perfect for our family of 3! Great location, cozy, and welcoming, and we really appreciated having the stocked kitchen for breakfast.

I stumbled upon this property and I was beyond impressed with everything. Absolutely beautiful property inside and out. I am going to return very soon. It’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the Yellow Barn! This will become my my go to for “local” getaway adventures. Loved every single thing about this place.
