My brother goes to school in Ithaca and when my family wanted to go for a visit we decided to stay at the farm instead of getting multiple hotel rooms so we could all stay together. Well, the description sounded interesting, but did no justice to the actual experience of staying in the guest house. The cottage itself is lovely,... More

We are a family of two adults and four children with various ages. The farm is fabulous, very peacefull, children loved the pool and the animals. The two floor house is very spacious, clean and equipped well. It is very near to Ithaca and close to all Finger Lakes attractions. You usually see such farms in Europe, but there are... More

Rita and Don are wonderful hosts. We stayed 5 days with our 4 year old and 1 year old children. They had a blast. The cottage was very roomy and comfortable for all of us. The farm itself was fantastic. Our children loved watching the chickens, turkeys and horses. They loved feeding the chickens too. And the pony ride was... More

Don and Rita gave us an excellent family welcome to their idyllic farm on the outskirts of Ithaca where we were able to relax and recover from our busy 2 week trip before hitting NY City for a week - didn't want to leave! The welcoming breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen on our first morning was wonderful and the fresh... More

We spent five days at Rosebarb Farm with our two children, ages 1 and 3, and it was a perfect getaway for our little family. The children loved feeding the chickens everyday, swimming in the pool, and Don even gave our 3-year-old a pony ride, the highlight of our trip! Rita and Don were wonderful hosts, the cottage was cozy... More

Rita and Don are the most gracious hosts and their farm is extremely inviting, relaxing and pleasant. After traveling 5+ hours from Delaware with three teenage girls, we were warmly invited into the cottage by Rita. Awaiting us, was a freshly baked loaf of banana/choc. chip bread. Needless to say, it lasted @ 1/2 hr! The cottage was clean, bright... More

Rita and Don are delightful hosts who welcome visitors to their beautiful organic farm located in the hills outside Ithaca. They make sure their guests feel like family, from providing advice about areas to visit over a delicious breakfast the first morning, to offering a wagon ride behind two handsome horses. The farm cottage is very spacious, well furnished and... More

We spent three nights on the farm at the end of June and it was perfect! Don and Rita are such fun and accommodating hosts. We loved getting to know them and learn from their experiences over delicious food and fun days in the sun. The cottage is comfortable, private and homey with everything you need for your stay. Buttermilk... More

This was romantic and homey - Don and Rita were the most congenial hosts and made us feel like part of the family. We also had our space and time alone. The farm is so charming and inviting from the horses and the hay ride to the chickens and the wonderful fresh eggs. My husband spent one day helping Don... More
