General overview

Ithaca is a fun college town home to Cornell University and Ithaca College. It perches on lovely Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes. They say Ithaca is gorges,,,,well, you can walk to several less frequented gorgeous gorges from our house, or else to restaurants and downtown. There's lots of live music, microbreweries, lakes and waterfalls everywhere. The Finger Lakes are renowned for the many wineries, cider houses, and microbreweries. There is a plethora of beautiful places to hike, boat and cross country ski in the area Taughannock Falls, Watkins Glen, and Buttermilk Falls are among the dramatic state parks nearby

There are also two screened-in porches and a deck overlooking the backyard garden. Hardwood floors, sunlight and plants, walking distance to everything -grocery store, restaurants, trails, gorges, and Cornell University

We're a mostly retired couple looking for longer term exchanges in Spain or France, and shorter term in Canada and the US. We love hiking, kayaking, gardening, photography, yoga, and of course travel.
