TO TENWOOD LODGE

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tenwood Lodge for Ithaca’s 2018 Graduation Weekend. Located near the school, it was easy for us to come and go from campus events. The house is roomy and incredibly comfortable – all three generations of family members slept well! The kitchen is well equipped and spacious! Wildlife is abundant and inches away from the house. We highly recommend Tenwood Lodge and would love to stay there again soon!

We had a great weekend. We had 4 families and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house was clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed he beautiful location and sitting outside at the fire pit. Lots of space for kickball and frisbee and anything really. Thank you!

The Tenwood Lodge was more than we could have asked for. The Bunkhouse was just PERFECT for our family. It felt like our own little home! Our kids loved the loft bunk in their room and Kim’s waffles. It was a treat to have such a wonderful breakfast. Kim and Russ couldn’t be more welcoming and were so great with our children as well. Everything was crisp, clean and so comfortable. We loved being a bit outside of town away from the hustle and bustle. Felt like a true getaway. Can’t recommend enough! Fall 2017

Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend in your beautiful home. We really enjoyed your property and your recommendations for things to do in the area. The kids loved the yard and the fire pit at night. We would love to come back and further explore the area some time soon.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was the perfect set up for our family. It was wonderful to be able to have us all under one roof while we celebrated our brother’s wedding. It was a perfect weekend!

Thank you for a most wonderful way to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! The jacuzzi was amazing and your hospitality was even more amazing! We felt quite at home and plan on stopping by some other time 🙂 I think we will have to get Ticket to Ride in the near future…

What a marvelous home you have!!! We feel blessed to have been able to gather so many family and friends for our daughter’s senior voice recital at IC. This home was the perfect way for us to celebrate 4 1/2 years of our daughter’s education. Thank you for also attending her recital. I hope we will have the opportunity to vacation here again.

Loved the privacy and huge open space. Secluded, and private area for our son’s graduation. Plenty of space for huge parties, and outdoor cooking and campfires.

I was in touch with Kim months prior to our trip.When we arrived, she was extremely welcoming, and provided us with loads of information about Ithaca and its beauty. The pictures were accurate and the house was spotless! 1st night we stayed as [B&B] guests before we took over the entire house. Breakfast and coffee waiting when we woke up! All of our guests were in awe of the house and its surroundings . We saw deer , heard coyotes at night and just loved the peaceful surroundings and grand room (where we spent most of our time)! We traveled the 7 short miles to town daily to watch our daughter’s soccer matches daily and got to know our surroundings quite well!!We will be back!! Aloha and Mahalo

My family could not have been more pleased with our stay at Tenwood Lodge. We were there for most of the week of Thanksgiving, and it was an ideal place to put on Thanksgiving dinner for a large family. The kitchen was well-appointed, and large and open enough so that several of us could work comfortably at once. The living room was within sight of the cooks, and a large, cozy, comfortable place to hang out. The bedrooms were peaceful and very comfortable, and the space was flexible enough that when some of our dinner guests were so enamored of the place that they wanted to stay over for the night, we were able to find extra spots for them. It was child/baby friendly and also adult friendly, which can be a hard balance to find. The whole place is beautifully built, and feels very spacious and airy. All in all, it was a wonderful place to celebrate Thanksgiving, we left with very happy memories, and we’re already eagerly anticipating a repeat next year. I heartily recommend this place.

We had an amazing family get together at Tenwood Lodge. Kim was warmly welcoming and went out of her way to meet the needs of my mother who has mobility issues. The house is beautiful with much warm wood, great views of cornfields and mountains, and a killer kitchen with plenty of rooms for many hands. The many stuffed (taxidermied) animals were a conversation starter and became old friends. The wood for campfires and fixings for smores made for perfect evenings enjoying being outdoors. We had a great weekend.

We collected family from Victoria, BC and Toronto, Ont (Canada), from Ethiopia (Africa), from Chicago, Massachusetts, Cairo, Riverside & Brewster (NY), and Connecticut. We loved relaxing on the porches and in the coolness inside, playing badminton, eating at the picnic tables and on the deck, walking the grounds to the pond, playing games in the living rooom, keyboard upstairs, enjoying each well-appointed bedroom – a great and open place that we loved returning to or starting from. Thanks for such a lovely, beautiful experience, the home and environment are perfect!

Tenwood Lodge was the perfect place for our family to gather, enjoy the wedding festivities and each other. The house and location were exactly what we needed. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for allowing us to have the after wedding brunch here. Everyone stepped through the front door and said “Wow, this place is amazing!” Yes, it is! We all loved the house, the grounds, the wonderful fall colors, perfect weather and our time together. Thank you, Thank you,

Many thanks for sharing your home with us on the weekend of our niece’s wedding. The space was wonderful for family to gather for wedding preps and a a peaceful place for the bride. We loved your welcoming hospitality, flexibility and attention to detail! We will definitely tell friends of this bit of heaven – just minutes from all that Ithaca has to offer!

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting our college town. It was a great place to stay to reunite with our college roommates and families. It’s been almost 13 years since we’ve all been together here. The kids loved it! Thank you!

Kim helped me with all the details I needed to have a wedding shower for my daughter and her fiance’s family from NY at her beautiful home. The party was a gathering for people from 5 different states! We made the gathering a vacation for the group of us traveling up from Southern Indiana and Kim had all the information we needed to have a fantastic time. The house was perfect. The kitchen met all of our needs for every situation. The bedrooms were extremely clean, comfortable and far enough away from the other bedrooms that each family had their own space. The grand living room was large enough for the nightly gathering of the group. The view each morning of the meadow and hill made our morning coffee delightful. We saw so many birds and deer. Ithaca is a destination not to be missed. I have hiked many miles of some of the most beautiful places in this country, but this area is by far the most beautiful I have ever seen.
