We never spent much time other than sleeping and showering at the house. The house is spacious and seemed to have all the needed amenities. The furnishings could use updating to class it up a little but the rental price is very reasonable. Travis, the host was in constant touch to see if we needed anything and really wanted to make sure that our stay was comfortable. I would surely stay there again if visiting the area again.
It was a comfortable stay, we simply used it to sleep in due to our busy schedule. We found the spare washroom funny and all had to try it out. The house has a unique charm about it.
We had a wonderful stay at the place. The hosts were very responsive. The place was very clean and nice and and very accessible. Good WiFi connection too.
Leading up to our stay at this property, there was zero communication. Traveling 10 hours with two dogs, it wouldâve been nice to get an email the day before saying we would be set for our stay. I was stressed out questioning if we were going to be able to get into the property or if there was going to be some kind of issue. I Had to reach out the morning of Checkin. At that point the host responded a couple hours later saying he would send checkin information shortly. Check information arrived 25 minutes before we were due to check in. Property was not cleaned well, a ton of toxic glade plug-ins still didnât cover up the smell of musty basement. The location of the property was nice though. We vacation a lot and this is the first time we would not use the same property a second time.
House was typical old house in Elmira. Nice for what we needed. My biggest complaint was not hearing from host until 6 hours before check-in. I like to be better prepared than that.

Property review West Elmira
Great location. Only really one usable bathroom. Washing machine and dryer a little sketchy. Kitchen supplies inadequate. Luckly my sister lived nearby. There were only 3 forks. Pot and pans were mostly abused nonstick cookware with flaking forever chemicals likely incorporated into your food. There were a good amount of spices and condiments which was nice. The price was very reasonable and if not for the kitchen supplies, I'd recommend.
Owner was very accommodating with great communication.
Place was clean and neat with all essentials needed.
Even came with a beautiful wild doe and bunny to watch out the kitchen window, while sipping coffee. Would definitely rent again.
I liked the historic nature of this home. It was in a nice area, with good parking, lots of space. We saw a deer on the property while we there. There was a game room, which was nice. I was disappointed that the microwave and refrigerator were not all the way clean, which is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.
This house was a good option for our family of 5 to stay for one night.
Pros: Plenty of space for 5 people. Comfortable beds. Plenty of towels and linens available. Safe and quiet location. All appliances worked. A nice variety of spices and other food in the kitchen, Easy check in.
Cons: The "half bath" downstairs consisted of a toilet in poor condition in a tiny closet with no working light or sink, which made it completely useless. The toilet in the main bath needs to be tightened because the entire toilet rocked. The kitchen utensils were very sparse. Only one fork???
Its a cute house with potential. Would have been nice to have chairs to sit outside. The coffee pot had old grounds dried and caked inside so we couldnât use it. Host was contacted 3x for the entry code before finally providing 30 minutes after check in.
I will be very upfront right away. The house itself is great for the price. It is off a one way street in a good part of town and it is far enough in ânatureâ we had a deer family visit daily as well as a rabbit.
My issues I have gotten ahold of the host about but read some other reviews for an insight. I just hope even if they are busy they communicate better and work on these.
There is a smart tv in every bedroom and the living room which is nice!
Extra fans for moving air upstairs because it is a very large house so itâs hard for the ac (but not awful) to do its job up there.
To anyone not used to it, the basement is âspookyâ but well lit, do not overload the washer as it will bang.
There is a game room where sadly the air hockey table has seen better days but they have table top games as well, even spotted a more âadultâ one in the dining room on top the china cabinet which was humoring.
Being located in west Elmira you have a nice access to getting to big flats via the âback roadsâ (careful in the winter time)
Harris hill is a great destination spot to see the over look as well if youâre wanting some sightseeing and Tanglewood trails are great to hike, the nature center is fun as well!
Being used to homes like this and a native to Elmira, I was content for the price we paid and what we got. The kids were happy and we had a safe place to sleep, eat and relax when not seeing my family and what more can you ask for at 100$ a night.
The house was not as clean as depicted and the cooking pans were in bad shape. Despite this, I liked this home. There was something about it that felt very welcoming. My family enjoyed our time, sitting at the table eating, playing games, and laughing. There was a book with the need-to-know info and more. I recommend this house and host.
Our stay was good except when we arrived the fridge had a bunch of old leftovers in it. The dryer was full of towels too. Great house with lots of animal visitors. We had a Doe and her two fawn and bunnies and birds. We enjoyed our stay. A couple more pans for cooking would have been helpful , it was kind of bare and not much silverware. We would stay again though.
Positives - good location, easy check-in process, roomy, close to family & friends, in a good part of town, great place to walk
Not so positive - still had Christmas decorations out, twin beds had a mattress cover that made it hot to sleep at night (put a blanket under fitted sheet seemed to help)
Negatives - burnt out lightbulbs throughout the house, hot water only washing machine, silverware was missing, old onions in the refrigerator, cobwebs in home and basement, donât get me started on the TINY unusable 1/4 bathroom
We have rented numerous homes over the years. This house was not one that we would rent again. It reminds me of a house that someone moved out of and left odds & ends throughout. This home was memorable but not for good reasons.
