About this property

Amazing Lake House With Private Beach And Docks

Welcome to your Cayuga Lake retreat. Spectacular 220 feet of lake frontage and drive to door lake house. Large grassy area, shale beach, 4 bedrooms , 2 baths and all the luxuries you need. Originally a boat house, after extensive renovations/additions in the 1990s it was converted to this amazing home. Complete makeover with brand new furnishings and décor completed in 2018!

Walls of windows in dining room, living room and kitchen. Covered porch, lots of deck area and a carport. Fantastic views of Cornell and South Hill. This lake home is special and desirable for its position right on the water and drive to the door with such privacy so close to Ithaca. Summer as good as it can get on the lake in Ithaca!

The house was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The views were wonderful. Our grandchildren spent most of their time on the kayaks, swimming and fishing. The communication with the owner was very good and everything we needed was provided. A great stay with our family and we highly recommend!

Perfect spot for graduation weekend

The Lake House was a fantastic spot to stay for Cornell's graduation weekend. Close enough to campus for all the festivities while still feeling like a weekend getaway. Plenty of interior space (which came in handy given the rainy weather) but still providing amazing view of the lake. Wish we would have discovered this amazing spot before our daughter was finishing up her time at Cornell.

Lake House on Cayuga Lake

Generally very favorable; however we ran out of water morning of checkout. Setting was nice and lake was beautiful. Nicely decorated and furnished. Had a very nice time.

Thank you for your review Patricia. I am glad you enjoyed your stay! The old system which was in place when we took ownership of the house a few years ago had a tendency to become overworked while running the dishwasher, laundry and showers simultaneously. Since your stay, I am happy to report we sent a diver out to check on everything and have installed a new system and everything is working smoothly.

We had a long week at this beautiful property! Attending a graduation with family and looked for something mote than a hotel- so we could gather and relax. This property was definitely a winner.

Wonderful house

We loved our long graduation weekend at the lake house. The view and setting are spectacular and the house is very comfortable, great for a group, and has a well-stocked kitchen. The only issue was that the second shower is a pull-out nozzle in a bathtub. We would (and already have) recommend this beautiful house to others.

Lake house

We rented the lake house for family members to Sam ray in Ithaca and join us in the festivities for graduation. It was perfect for our 6 guests plus us. We invite a few more friends for dinner one night and there was ample room. Kitchen worked great. Deck with lake views was lovely. The family room area was perfect for entertaining. Highly recommend.

What a Great House for a Family Vacation!

Our family of eight, including kids and grandkids, had a wonderful 4th of July week at this wonderful house overlooking Lake Cayuga. The house is spacious, very clean and well appointed, with plenty of decks overlooking the lake. The bedroom layout worked out great. Communication with the owner was seamless throughout. Plus, there is a ton of family activities to take advantage of in and around Ithaca. Our family would highly recommend this house and the Ithaca area for a memorable summer vacation.

Great Lake Cayuga Home

LOVED our stay here. Beautiful home right on the water. Well appointed and supplied, plenty of space, great location, comfortable. The owner (Alyson) was responsive and incredibly helpful with questions about the property and things to do in the area. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! One warning - the driveway is narrow and steep. We arrived in the dark and it was challenging to navigate. But once I figured it our (in the daylight) no longer a issue.

Fall Weekend In Ithaca

Lovely lakeside cottage was enjoyed by my family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids). Came back to visit Ithaca after many years post graduation. This house was a great escape and my kids enjoyed the games, kayak, fishing, and the lake. Much has changed in the area but classics like the farmers market, Buttermilk Falls, brewery, Purity Ice Cream, etc. remain the same. Quality family time at it's finest! The owner was welcoming and super easy to work with.

Peaceful Lakeside Oasis

What a spot! Literally on the water with magnificent views that included Lake Cayuga, sunrises, sailboats and Cornell in the distance. We enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning and watched the day begin with the sun rising from behind the horizon. Simply glorious. Alyson was an incredible host -- fabulous communication and quick to answer any question. The house was stocked with fresh fluffy towels and cozy blankets. Clean and neat. There was a slight musty hue in the air, but we quickly got used to it. Our family enjoyed every minute.

We had a lovely time a the house. The weather wasn't the greatest but we could still hang out at the deck and enjoy the amazing views. Plenty of space for the kids to play and we appreciated the games available. Very close to Ithaca and a variety of great restaurants. Overall we had a great time and would consider renting the place again for sure.

Amazing views!

This house has the most beautiful views of Lake Cayuga from almost every room, and an unexpected bonus was that we could see the Cornell campus and downtown Ithaca skylines as well. Perfect outdoor spaces to relax - large wrap-around deck, dock, covered carport with view in case it rains, lawn area where you can play the provided cornhole & cricket, and the little private beach area for skipping rocks or wading in the water. Interior is clean and beautiful, neutral furniture - my kids enjoyed the bedrooms on the lower level; lots of board games in the house, fully appointed kitchen, and again the views from the dining room and living room are amazing. Perfect location - quick drive downtown to Wegmans or the Ithaca Commons for restaurants, easy to get to Cornell's campus and very close to Taughanock Falls and wineries.
