Cabin 4 sleeps 4 in 2 ground floor bedrooms (2 queen beds). Kitchen, full bathroom, TV, dining table and seating area. Sleeps 4.
Covered porch with picnic table, additional seating, and fire pit. 1 reserved parking space. (More available by request and availability.)
Winter guests: Cabin 4 is available for rental year-round, but guests using the property in snowy/icy weather need 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles to come down our 1/2 mile private road. It's kept plowed, but these vehicles are needed for the elevation change.
Everyone staying at the property can enjoy our private beach, WiFi, and live TV. Stay cool on even the hottest days with air conditioning or cuddle up with our propane, electric, or wood stoves. (Varies by site.)
We provide all of the linens and bath towels you need for your stay, as well as paper products to get you started. Our kitchens include microwaves, gas stovetops, gas oven, refrigerators/freezers, coffee makers, pots, pans, dishes and silverware. We clean almost exclusively with eco-friendly products. Pack-n-plays and high chairs available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Need more space? Our nearly 4 acre property with 400 feet of frontage along Cayuga Lake and a private beach also has the Spotted Sandpiper Lake House, the Overlook Lodge, 8 cabins and 2 yurts. Ask us about our discounted rates for multiple rentals!
The Spotted Sandpiper is located in the woods with frontage on Cayuga Lake and bugs love the woods and water! They're savvy at finding their ways indoors (these are cabins after all). If the bugs are ever "bugging" you, we're always happy to help.

Overall, I would describe the rental as quaint with a beautiful view of the lake. It was clean, but there were a few spiders that wanted to stay with us too. It has a close proximity to many beautiful waterfalls and parks. We loved the beach access with included kayaks and paddle boards. And getting to skip stones by the lake.
It's a very nice cabin! It was a great last minute vacation spot for two people and our dog. The three of us were very comfortable for our long weekend stay. Everyone else at the campsite is polite and respectful and personable. It was also close to many wineries and parks and not a far drive from Ithaca either. We had a great time and if we return to the area we'd probably book again here. The water smelled a little like sulfur but they provide water bottles for drinking.
4 small cabins, 4 larger cabins next to large lake. Nice beach area with free boats but no sand. We had fun visiting the nearby state parks, hiking and seeing the grand waterfalls.

The pictures of the property are accurate and updated annually. As mentioned in the description, we're the largest private lakeside property in the greater Ithaca area and are sorry you didn't take any opportunity to reach out to us during your stay. If you use VRBO in the future, we hope you reach out to hosts and provide substantive feedback so that we can all best serve our guests. Best of luck on your future adventures!
The owners were very helpful and responsive. The cabin was close to the lake, but not for those who cannot climb steep stairs - the owners were upright about the terrain. The location of the cabin is close to wine country, and Ithaca. The only drawback is the number of creepy crawlers. I would not rent the cabin if this is an issue.

Thank you for staying with us! We were delighted to host you for your trip. Our property is in the woods and on the water, and just like people, bugs love the woods and water! We're committed to using non-toxic products both inside and out to ensure our 2 and 4-legged guests have a healthy, positive experience. And if the winged and 6-legged creatures are "bugging you," we're always happy to help guests find a solution.
First, the good: the location is stunning, right on the lake. They have a huge dock for hanging out on, spaces for boats, kayaks to borrow, onsite laundry, unlimited bottled water, firewood, paper towels and toilet paper (unlike many other places which expect guests to furnish their own), plenty of heat sources and a/c, and extremely responsive owners. Each cabin has their own fire ring, table and a bench or glider under a covered area or porch that makes being outside possible even if it's raining. And the bath towels are phenomenal! Things to be aware of: cabins 1-4 are extremely small. The two bedrooms have full-sized beds (in #4) and just enough space on either side to get in and out. The living/dining area is tiny and the kitchen is barely adequate unless you aren't cooking at all. The cabin was passable for two people space-wise but two more people, even kids, would have been really uncomfortable.
The bathroom needed a complete overhaul. Everything worked (except the toilet for a few hours but was fixed right away on a Sunday afternoon) but if you are a person of any size, you will be extremely uncomfortable in there.
If the weather is beautiful and you can be outside for 90% of your waking hours and you don't want to cook much, this place would be fine, except for the bathroom.
It looks like they are updating things. There is a brand new building for laundry and it has a couple of large, spacious bathrooms in it, I think for glamping and yurt guests.
They are trying but just know what you are getting yourself into before you make a reservation.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. The kitchen, flooring, bedding and beds were renovated in Cabin 4 in spring 2019 and the bathrooms are being renovated in winter (March) 2021. Just to be clear, one bedroom in Cabin 4 has a queen bed and one bedroom has a full-sized bed.
The pictures of the unit are accurate and Cabins 3 and 4 are our smallest and most affordable units. We are the largest lakeside property in the entire area and have units that sleep between 4 and 23 guests, ranging in size from about 300 square feet (Cabins 3 and 4) and 3000 square feet (Lake House Complex). All of our guests, regardless of selecting the most economy version, have use of our lake frontage, numerous docks, beachside fire pits and complementary boats.
the owner was very responsive. all of your needs are met. It is a cabin and not fancy, it is cozy and clean. Just what I expected and just what we wanted. Thank you!
Great location. Cabin size was what we were expecting. Property Manager very quick to respond & provide solutions. Plenty of supplies; firewood, water, paper products.. Couple glitches: extra sensitive smoke alarms and small amount of hot water for showers. After one person, you have to wait 45 minutes for it to reheat. Also dishes & coffee pot needed to be washed before use. Beautiful spot & location to Ithaca was perfect. Liked the laid back atmosphere. Semi-private. Cabin is close by to other rental cabins
Whether you’re planning an active exploration trip or looking to enjoy the finger lake wineries, the cabins at the spotted sandpiper are in a perfect location to access it all. The rentals come with an impressive array of amenities in the common area, along with a private full kitchen and grill/fire pit. Perfect for recovering after a day out. Bathrooms have a more camp-like feel, in case you’re looking for more of a hotel/suite experience.
We stayed 3 nights with another couple. Weather was great so no need to hang indoors which would have been tight. Cabin was clean and tidy, no bugs during our stay. Access to the dock was nice. Pretty, hidden away spot though lots of other rentals in this area. Very peaceful little get away! Would definitely return.
