Carpets were filthy. There was food from previous tenants in the fridge. It was tidy and cute, but not very clean. The shower light had a short that caused it to come on and off randomly. Plusses were: Air conditioners in every room that worked, and plenty of hot water. 1 bath upstairs served 4 bedrooms. Keurig machine worked once. Talked to owner about replacement and were told he would take care of it next day. He came and got it, but didn't replace it.

I was astounded by the beautiful grounds! Ron was THE best host anyone could ever ask for. His attention to detail was above and beyond. Anything you needed, he was there for us from the booking until the end. He is absolutely a one-of-a-kind, amazing host!! Bride and bridesmaids stayed at the stunning Victorian house the night before the wedding. It was pristine, clean and such a treat to be able to have the house on the property, which added to the experience. There is even a gorgeous pool with seating all around and a hot tub! It does not get any better than that! And ladies, the bridal suite is amazing! I would say without hesitation, this is the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended. The ceremony was outside under the arch, dancing was in the immaculate barn complete with lights and chandelier on the second floor. Food was served under tents on the lawn, which was perfect. What I loved was that there were so many places you could go on the property, should you want some privacy - the barn, the house, seating by the pool and other seating around the property. I will forever have etched in my heart how wonderful this place is! Everyone that attended thought the place was spectacular and the Bride & Groom are over the moon with cherished memories of their special day! Thank you again, Ron for making our day an absolutely memorable one.

There are multiple cabins to choose from, each with a very welcoming and warm feeling to them. The cabins include electricity and accommodations such as a mini fridge, a/c, and a television.

As well there is an outdoor gazebo, and a game cabin that has an old school Super Nintendo (who doesn't love that? As well as a TV and some couches to relax on, but honestly, you will want to spend your time outside, enjoying the nature around you.

The entire stay is peaceful, and relaxing, the perfect getaway at an affordable price.

Had no idea of all the details and if you miss one, it could really throw off your day. Lisa thought of everything and was so incredibly organized. Her spread sheets and check lists kept everything running smoothly. When I did feel overwhelmed, one call with Lisa calmed me. The day ran smoothly and Lisa was there to make sure it did. As things did come up (and they did) she handled them without me even knowing. I did not have to speak to one vendor or deal with anything on my wedding day and that's worth everything!

We hired Tara 2 years ago when my daughter got engaged. My daughter was very specific about the…read morekind of wedding she wanted. She wanted a wedding with multiple day events (wine tour, welcome party, ceremony on the Cornell campus, two cocktail parties, reception and a brunch). We were also challenged with having 160+ guests from out of town. My daughter didn't want a traditional wedding banquet hall look, she wanted to have farm tables with lush greeneries and flowers, and lounge sofas for people to relax. It was hard to find a place around Ithaca to accommodate so many guests. Tara spent days with us in finding a perfect venue for the wedding. On the day of, we had photographers videographers, multiple banquet coordinators, bus drivers. Tara was amazing in coordinating everything and getting everyone to work together. She had 7 pages of the event schedule. She worked tirelessly to refine it with us, down to when food would be delivered for the bridal party to eat before the ceremony. At the end of the reception, when she saw I was going back to the hotel by myself, she personally drove me back. She then delivered flowers for the next morning's brunch to our B&B at 2am. On top of that, she showed up at the brunch to make sure everything was ok and helped us pack up everything. We had few crisis (or we thought) during the wedding, Tara was able to take care of them for us and more importantly calmed us down. All of our guests told us how much fun they had at the wedding and how beautiful the venue was. I think a lot of it was due to Tara's careful planning and diligence. I would highly recommend Tara as a planner for any special event.

Tara (Terra Rosa) was such a wonderful and integral part of our wedding team! She came highly…read morerecommended by a close family friend and owner of a local florist company - if other vendors say somebody is great to work with, believe them! Our venue, the Ithaca Farmers Market, requires an immense amount of planning and organization as you must bring in everything (rentals, food, alcohol, decor) yourself. In addition, set-up time is very limited so it pays off to have a team of vendors who have worked well at the market before and know what they're doing and how run of show should go! While we signed on for the month-of package, Tara was so helpful in providing recommendations for additional vendors throughout our planning process who not only have worked market wedding before, but who would be able to help us create our exact vision for the day. Tara was responsive and always made herself readily available, whether it was well-before the month of our wedding or in the days leading up to it. As a self-described Type-A planner, I was so grateful to have Tara on top of everything especially the day before and the day of the wedding so that I could kick back and relax to enjoy such a special day. She executed everything perfectly, - including when a guest stepped on the bottom of my dress and broke off a bustle hook! Not only did she have safety pins of all sizes on hand, she perfectly pinned the dress back into its proper bustle so nobody could even tell! I can't recommend her highly enough - every couple should be so lucky as to have her support, eye for style, and organization on their big day!

Can't say enough positives about the whole experience from ordering to pick up to warming everything for dinner. Easy instructions and flawless flavors. Thanks to the team!
