This time we decided to try spring and couldn't stay where we normally do. The Bee House was so comfortable and peaceful. You feel like you are in a secluded area yet you are about 20 minutes from Ithaca and not much further to Watkins Glen. This is a great place to stay to visit the west side of Cayuga Lake and the east side of Seneca Lake. Hiking, waterfalls, gorgeous gorges (!), and wineries, cideries, and breweries all nearby. We loved how all the many windows let in the natural light, which makes you feel like you are in a treehouse overlooking the creek. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony in the morning and wine in the Adirondack chairs by the creek watching the sunset. Great little kitchen, too, with beautiful pottery made by the owner. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Kristen B.

We especially loved the views from the large windows and sitting on the balconies and riverside chairs as the weather allowed. Everything was comfortable and bright. Add in easy communication with our hosts, and this house is hard to beat. If we’re ever in the area again, we’d love to stay right here. Thank you! ##### Lynne H.

We loved our week here in this special & well designed cabin with a deeply personal touch in Shirleys pottery, musical instruments, & art work. Lots of wild life around & books to identify. Several outdoor spaces to sit & read or watch the birds. Yoga mat provided for early morning session on the balcony. We enjoyed evenings around the fire pit or by the creek & just a few minutes drive to the charming little town of Trumansburg. ##### Victoria A. B.

A 15 min drive to Cornell and right near the quaint town of Trumansburg with so many great dining options, the house was in a perfect location. Shirley keeps an impeccably clean house- no shoes allowed which is how we live at our own home. Beautiful wood flooring, cozy bedrooms, and nice layout. tons of light and views from the walls of windows overlooking the running creek behind the property. Shirley makes gorgeous pottery and leaves a little gift for guests. It was just such a nice little place -we will return! ##### L L.

The house and the scenery were beautiful. Decorated with the homeowners' artwork, and large windows overlooking the creek and picturesque greenery, the seclusion was very satisfying. My wife loved going on the deck in the mornings with a coffee to breathe in the serenity. We capped off our trip with smores by a campfire in the yard. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The homeowners were wonderful and communicative, everything was very clean, and the house was fully supplied with anything you could need. We will definitely return if its available next time we are heading through the area. ##### Aaron H.

The house was very nice and well maintained. My family loved it. The creek is gorgeous! We saw two deer drinking water while sitting on the lawn chairs. It was a view the city life can not offer. All the amenities were provided. Owner was easy to reach via app. I recommend everyone to stay here. We were able to go all around Seneca Lake. The location is very close to Toughannock State Park. The waterfall is a view none should miss. Anyone who chooses to stay here, please do yourself a favor and take a walk around the area early in the morning. The sunrise over vast fields and mountain is a sight to behold. Overall, 10/10. ##### Arnob S.

It was impeccably clean and stocked with beautiful pottery dishes that the owner made. Loved morning coffee on balcony! Beds were comfortable, linens were nice and plentiful. There is quality, well maintained furniture as well as wonderful kitchen. We enjoyed neighboring parks and easy access to Ithaca. We would absolutely do this again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Lake Placid by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Lake-Placid.h26787.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Cresthill Suites Syracuse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Cresthill-Suites-Syracuse.h802925.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kittle House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-Plains-Hotels-Crabtrees-Kittle-House-Restaurant-Inn.h1479389.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mansion at Glen Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glen-Cove-Hotels-The-Mansion-At-Glen-Cove.h862714.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Log Cabin in the Woods on Skaneateles Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Luxury-Log-Cabin-In-The-Woods-On-Skaneateles-Lake.h24040248.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) ---
