Another Great Stay!

This was our second stay at the Cayuga Homestead! Despite the rainy weather, everything was excellent. We enjoyed the TV on the main floor and watched many movies and relaxed. Kids had fun playing games in the basement. Kitchen had everything we needed and we took advantage of the waffle maker this time. What a hit! Excellent communication from Daura. Highly recommend!

Family Thanksgiving

My children, grandchildren, and I thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay at this beautiful home. It not only had the necessities, but it also had many extras like houseplants, an aroma diffuser, all the lotions and soaps we could use, games and activities, etc. There was plenty of kitchen equipment for us to make Thanksgiving dinner, pancakes, pizza, etc. And it is beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Daura Driscoll & Jamal Diboun

We recently built this brand new custom home with our family construction business. This home has never been lived in. We have lived in his area for 18 years and love the Finger Lakes so much we wanted to create a beautiful home for people to come enjoy all this area has to offer year round.

Why they chose this property

This property has 360° views, meadow, and hardwood forest to be enjoyed in all seasons. It is a great springboard for any Finger Lakes adventure. Short drive to Ithaca and Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and Ithaca College, or Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake.

What makes this property unique

This is a custom built home unlike any other with the barn wood features, charm, and lots of character. So much to do inside and outside the home, it will be hard to leave the property.
