The cottage is wonderful! My partner and I had an incredible stay. Very comfortable, very cozy. Our dog Sandy also loved the property and meeting the owners' dog, Sally. We would love to stay here again if we ever come back to the area.
We had a lovely stay in this charming cottage in New Field.The host Inez is an avid gardner and there were flowers and birds through out the property. We had our 2 dogs with us and they were greeted by the owner's sweet Golden Retriever. There is a huge deck to grill and eat outside on and beautiful views to enjoy the setting sun.
Very nice cottage on beautiful, natural grounds . A panoramic view of the hills and valleys. Lovely colorful flowers everywhere. The hoists were very friendly, as was their dog :) Very close to Ithaca and a short drive to Watkins Glen. I highly recommend this peaceful summer Alpine setting.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Mallard Cottage. A great base to explore the eastern Finger Lakes and Ithaca. Incredibly close to Robert H Treman park and it's gorgeous waterfalls. Beautiful, well maintained property with gorgeous flowers and plenty of space for our dog to run around and play. He had the best vacation of his life. Also the fireflies were magical, they put on quite a show every evening. Inez and Tom were wonderful hosts and were quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Would highly recommend!
We were excited to find this gem of a property that also welcomes pets. It was our first visit to the Finger Lakes and we got to see some of the highlights (Watkins Glen, Buttermilk Falls, wineries) within easy driving distances.
We will happily stay here again.
Spent a relaxing long weekend at Mallard Cottage. Peaceful atmosphere, well appointed with the necessities, and two cute pups greeting us at arrival and again at various points throughout our stay. Weâll be back!
Great location - very restful and beautiful but close to lots to see
We so enjoyed our stay with Inez and Tom - best hosts ever. There when you needed them but privacy when you wanted it. Beautiful location and Inezâs gardens are stunning. Two friendly golden retrievers was icing on the cake for our Labrador - a truly dog friendly place.
We had a wonderful stay at the Mallard Cottage. Views from the deck were spectacular, witnessed a full moon rising in the East and delighted in the beautiful end of day light glowing in the fields below. The cottage was bright and airy with several windows affording views and natural light. Clean and cozy and had everything we could possibly need. .
The setting and view are beautiful. The owners were friendly and accommodating. Our dogs had lots to explore . The cottage is charming and comfortable. This was a tranquil and pleasant getaway.... highly recommend!
We had a great time staying at the cottage. Inez was super welcoming and flexible with our late arrival time. Th property was stunning and within easy driving distance to several great hiking trails and downtown Ithaca. We especially loved our welcome crew Floyd and Sadie!
Beautiful area quiet and serene. Dogs were cute Inez was very nice. Our private deck was so nice to sit and eat or drink coffee. The house and outside was perfect for my partner and I. We would def choice again. Convenient to the best waterfalls (Robert Treman Park and stone bend was a mile away w great wood fire pizza.
Terrific location - near many parks as well as Ithaca, and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Cottage was just the right size for two people. Owners were very responsive to our requests & inquiries.
Inez & Tom were welcoming and incredibly helpful with tips for local activities. Our pup loved playing with Sally & Floyd and the cottage was the perfect spot for a getaway. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful. cozy, clean, relaxing Cottage. The cottage location was close to everything on our agenda. Tom, Inez, and their beautiful dogs Sally and Floyd were wonderful hostees. My daughter had an amazing time. Thank you, Tom and Inez we will see you soon.
Inez and Tom were warm hosts. Property is beautiful, listing is just as described -in a beautiful setting but also a quick trip into town. Highly recommend!
The cottage is cozy and lovely! The fireflies were pretty spectacular and you dogs were a lot of fun! The location is great for hiking adventures and visiting the areaâs waterfalls and state parks. Overall it was a wonderful bucolic respite from city.
If you are looking for a place to bring your dogs, this is truly dog friendly. Comfortable and adorable accommodations. You will find everything you need for a comfortable stay. A beautiful deck to enjoy and the scenery is plentiful. The owners are so accommodating and their dogs will be waiting for your arrival. We cannot wait to return in the summer months.
Inez and Tom are gracious hosts. Floyd and Sally, the retrievers, made our dog feel welcome and right at home. Theirs is a beautiful property and a wonderful retreat.
The cottage was exactly as expected . Itâs adorable & the perfect size for the two of us. We loved the peace, tranquility of the surroundings & the quiet , stillness & darkness of night. The stars were spectacular!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Mallard Cottage. Inez and Tom are very welcoming as are their two dogs. Itâs a quiet country retreat but is close to Wegmanâs and several restaurants as well as Buttermilk Falls and Treman State Park. Our dog loved the time he spent at the cottage and definitely gives it a 5 dog bone rating!
I was born in the Netherlands and lived in England and South Africa before moving to the USA in 2006. I studied biodynamic agriculture and specialized in cheese making. I have been living in the Finger Lakes since June 2013 and love the wide variety of activities that this region has to offer. I met Tom soon after moving here. He was born in Interlaken on Cayuga Lake, studied physical education and lived in 10 different states for over 30 years until he returned to the Finger Lakes in 2007. Is he happy to be back home? "Yes, there is no place like it!!" We enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis and are happy to be able to share this wealth with other people. Inez
We fell in love with this property which dates from 1846 the moment we saw it on line. We love the beautiful peaceful surroundings and the close proximity to everything this area has to offer. Ithaca has an international vibe due to Cornell and Ithaca College and there are sooo many things to do and enjoy in the local surroundings!!
A GREAT spot for nature lovers:We are surrounded by nature and keep seeing new bird species and other wild life. We have turned 5 acres of our property into a MONARCH BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY which can be seen and visited from the cottage. During the month of July the field is lit up by millions of fire flies, a light show which rivals the distant city lights of Ithaca!
We live in the Manor House which is also situated on this property. It dates from 1846 and we have turned it into a small B&B offering two double rooms. So if you want to bring more friends and/or family we can put them upâŠ..
