We loved our stay at Ursula's! We didn't meet her, but Larissa, the care taker, is truly amazing! She was very helpful and went out of her way to make us dinner the first night after a long day of traveling. We didn't end up staying in the listing we had expected but we had a beautiful home all to ourselves! There were a few things to be aware of: 1) the only heat on this part of the property is fire. We LOVED that, but I know some may find it an issue. All the kindling and wood necessary was provided, so that made it very easy. 2) it's not super close to the main parts of Syracuse (about 15-30 mins in possibly hectic traffic). 3) Down a super narrow road and there is parking but can be challenging. 4) make sure to follow Ursula's directions to the home. The address provided will not get you directly to the home. Overall, a great, affordable option! A beautiful home and garden, tv with some channels you could change the language on, friendly hosts, all you could need to cook meals, private, and lovable pets!
