Mallard Cottage is a gem!
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. .

First visit to the Finger Lakes
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.

Seriously, Dog Friendly
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.

Beautiful Cottage located near Ithaca and Cayuga wine trail
We had a wonderful stay at Inez and Tom's! They were very responsive and friendly, and the cottage was beautiful and clean. The coffee and hot chocolate was much appreciated. Their property hosts beautiful gardens and has been certified as a monarch butterfly sanctuary. If you are a dog lover, you will enjoy Sally and Floyd greeting you every morning. The property is about a 15 minute drive to downtown Ithaca and about 30 minutes to many cayuga wineries (sheldrake, hosmer, lucas, etc.). It's also right around the corner from Treman state park. We will definitely be back!

Peaceful and quiet
We very much enjoyed our stay at Mallard Cottage. Inez and Tom are very welcoming as are their two dogs. It’s a quiet country retreat but is close to Wegman’s 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!

Just what we were looking for!
We really needed to get away from our lives for a couple days (Wife, kids and pup). Knowing that we wanted to visit Watkins Glen, we found this nice little cottage about 30 minutes away. The best surprise of all was the Robert H Treman State Park. We actually enjoyed it way more than Watkins Glen and it is literally 5 minutes from the cottage. We were late for check in and the owners were still very accommodating and kind. Would recommend to all!!

Peaceful Stay
We wanted to stay somewhere central to Watkins Glen, Robert H. Treman State Park and Ithaca for a weekend away. This location was perfect for that. The cottage is comfortable and our stay was pleasant and relaxing. I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, watching the sun rise, while I was visited by Sally and Floyd- the friendly dogs that live on the property. Inez was very knowledgeable about the area and she was also approachable and kind. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property
Hidden away yet close to alternative Treman trailhead Tiny but efficient My Cornell daughter and I stayed here while my friends were nearby in alternative property Inez made a point of meeting us (she has bed and breakfast next door) and showing us around the cottage Dogs are friendly and a fun addition My daughter and I were on foot waiting for my friends the next morning and were hungry and realized there was only one option within several miles ; stone farms and brewery about 0.7 mI up the road We contemplated asking Inez about any bed and breakfast food that might be available but it was an odd time at this point so didn’t want to impose I had originally booked this place for travel w a friend and his dog ; when the dog became terminally ill, and we could not travel, Inez was accommodating and allowed me to change the reservation to several months later (this trip) we made the most of our stay despite the change in circumstances and appreciate her flexibility She gave us good recommendations on wineries and local farm to table restaurants as well

Great home base for hiking waterfalls!
We were blessed to be able to spend a week at this great cottage! Although the rain kept us from enjoying the large deck as much as we would have liked, it was a great place with a beautiful view to enjoy morning coffee. On mornings when we couldn't sit out there, we were able to enjoy the view from the double glass doors in the living area. The cottage is very thoughtfully laid out. There is ample space to unpack all of your things. The bed was super comfortable, and we even inquired about the mattress. We did not do a lot of cooking, but there was ample cookware and utensils for our use. We had our little dog with us, and she enjoyed running the back meadows. It was nice to be somewhere where dogs are not just allowed, but actually welcomed. The location was close to several parks with waterfalls, and an easy drive into Ithaca. Inez and Tom are great hosts and have a lot of knowledge of the area. They clearly want you to enjoy your stay! We would highly recommend this cottage!

Perfect getaway for 2!
We stayed 3 nights on our Finger Lakes area vacation. Mallard Cottage is located in the country about 20 minutes southwest of Ithaca near Robert H Treman State Park & an easy drive to the Watkin Glens area on Seneca Lake or super close to Cayuga Lake. The cottage is a perfect get away for 2 & offers a beautiful view of the countryside. It has a full kitchen & comfortable accommodations.

Lovely Getaway with Pets
Mallard Cottage is delightful. The setting is breathtaking with Inez's wildflower gardens and the butterfly sanctuary. We were there during firefly season and had the lifetime privilege of seeing the field full of fireflies at night. It was breathtaking. The cottage is very comfortable (great shower) and great for our dogs who interacted so easily with Inez's and Tom's beautiful and gentle dogs. So close to Ithaca, wine country, and waterfalls at the gorgeous State Parks. What a getaway. Can't wait to go back!
