We stayed overnight because we were going skiing close by the next day. Yellow barn was so cute and the beds were so comfortable.

Our new go-to
Our second stay at Yellow Barn. Immaculately kept and convenient for visiting Ithaca College. Little snafu with our key code, but quickly and easily resolved.

Perfect and affordable stay
Room in beautiful house on beautiful property! As long as you buy-in to the communal aspects/respect of the house, you will love it.
Perfect base while visiting child at Ithaca College. It was immaculate. Not a speck of dust anywhere. The property manager does a fantastic job. Would absolutely stay again.

I enjoyed my stay at the Yellow Barn Estate! Everything was clean and convenient! I could come and go and didn’t feel like I was bothering anyone. The room was comfortable and the amenities (I.e., being able to use the kitchen) were convenient! It was just like a bed and breakfast, but you made your own breakfast! The location was perfect for what I needed for my trip!

An absolute gem in the middle of the woods. So overwhelmed by the work it took to make this place the coziest and warmest place you could ever wish for. My wife and I had two of the most peaceful and relaxing nights here and will do it again very soon. Perfect getaway and everything we needed was there for us.

We were visiting our daughter at Ithaca College for the family weekend, and this was a great place to stay. It reminded us of old-fashioned bed and breakfasts. It's a beautiful house with unique gathering areas like the library, kitchen, and TV room, where we spent a few hours one night just relaxing with our daughter, who just wanted to stay in and relax. The outdoor spaces are so beautiful as well, although it was col so we didn't get to enjoy it this time. We will stay here in the future!!
