Van Etten Apartment | Finger Lakes Sunset View near Ithaca and Watkins Glen

1 Bedroom Apartment in Van Etten

DESCRIPTION:
Our cozy, country, chic apartment is the perfect getaway for two! This private space offers everything you need! If you're coming enjoy upstate New York’s gorgeous Finger Lakes, this is the place for you! We’re about 30-40 minutes from everywhere....the bustling college town of Ithaca and Cornell University, as well as NASCAR in Watkins Glen, wineries, and state parks. But, if a quiet, secluded stay is what you’re after, step out onto the private deck and enjoy a cozy fire while the sun sets!
LOCATION:
Nestled on our peaceful property, our VRBO sits on a tranquil, dead-end road with minimal traffic. Located in the quaint town of Van Etten, we’re just minutes from a Dandy Mini Mart and a charming year-round ice cream parlor. A short drive to Spencer offers additional conveniences, including a small grocery store, gas station, pizzeria, Dollar General, and a cozy diner. Our small-town charm comes with early closing hours—most businesses close between 8-9 PM—so we recommend stocking up on groceries or grabbing takeout before arrival, as delivery services are unavailable. Larger cities are about 25-30 minutes away, so plan accordingly.
We’re on the outskirts of Van Etten, yet just 20-30 minutes from Ithaca State Parks, Watkins Glen, and 40 minutes from the wineries of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. No matter the season, the views from our property are breathtaking.
This cozy apartment is tucked behind our detached garage, offering privacy while sharing a driveway and garage entryway. Once inside, you'll feel like you have the place to yourself, with a covered back porch overlooking the peaceful backyard.
Please note: You may see our children playing in the yard or tending to their chickens, but they also know to respect your privacy and will not disturb you. Additionally, we have friendly, free roaming chickens and geese.
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
**5 inch step into the stand up shower
**There is only a 20 gallon hot water tank. (shorter showers)
**We have a wireless extender in the house. It usually works, but coverage in this area is unpredictable. We cannot guarantee internet that will work 100% of the time. AT&T and Verizon service is great though! Plan accordingly.
**No pets! Although we love furry friends, our dog lives on the property and is not a fan of sharing his space with other dogs. Sorry!
**We live in the country. That being said, insects do find their way into the apartment on occasion.
**We highly recommend good snow tires in the winter as our road is a hill and our driveway is also an incline and can get slippery.
**This is a smoke free property.

Summary: Beautiful and quiet! We we're greeted with a welcome sign and fresh eggs from the chicken coop. Gorgeous view and friendly felines named Penny and Cheddar also greeted us. We didn't want to leave. We dropped our 1st born off to college and this was a retreat on our way back to our other 2 kids. We loved it. Beyond clean and they really thought of everything. Right down to what birds were at the bird feeder with a bird book guide. We highly recommend this rental and hope to go back.
