The balcony views were incredible. Waking up to the sounds of the lake each morning was wonderful. David was a great host to work with. 10/10 recommend this property.
Beautiful, well kept home. Our whole family was so comfortable. Spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, and beautiful location. Really helped make our trip memorable!
Excellent vacation at this beautiful Cayuga lake home. It had a very nice view of the lake and was was supplied with everything we could possibly need. So many waterfalls and wineries to explore!
Our family stayed here to explore the area and spend time together. The house was very comfortable and had great amenities. We enjoyed views, the kayaks/paddleboards, and the fire pit. Very comfortable stay!
Absolute gem of a house! By far one of our best family vacation rentals, the pictures do not do it justice. Plenty of space with every amenity and kitchen supply you would ever need. We loved afternoons swimming off the dock and evenings on the deck.
Great property and location - beautiful and relaxing! The host was kind and super friendly. He met us upon arrival to show us around the house and offered us helpful info on things to see and do in the area.
Beautiful house and beautiful location on the lake. The house is very large and well equipped with everything we needed. Owner was easy to work with. We had no issues. Highly recommend this house, especially if you have a large group of 8 to 10 people.
We had to clean the stove top and the door of the oven. There was a tremendous amounts of spiders and webs on the deck and chairs. However, the house work out well for everyone who stayed. We enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area.
Beautiful house, spotlessly clean, right on the lake. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Fishing off the dock was great. Kitchen has just about every cooking tool that you could need. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay for our daughters graduation.
We invited our four adult children, spouses and granddaughter to spend a week at the lake house. They were able to work with excellent WiFi, often sitting on balconies overlooking the lake. Evenings we gathered together on the balcony, in the dining rooom to play games, and by the fire pit at the lake. We were only minutes from wineries and cider houses. The toddler loved the nearby Goat and Cheese farm. We were only 20-25 minutes from Ithaca for shopping and waterfalls. We highly recommend this Lake Home!
The house was in a good location for us. We were able to get to the City of Ithaca, Ithaca College and Cornell within 30 minutes. We didn't have sit on the pier weather but could see how beautiful it will be later.
The house was spotless and very clean, it was stocked with many items to use for cooking or making coffee. The grill worked very well on the deck. Overall the place was perfect for our group and we had a great time
We all had such a wonderful time in the gorgeous finger lakes at this beautiful house. The kids especially enjoyed the water and dock and the other amenities. Thanks to Dave everything went smoothly.
Great house and great location for an extended weekend Finger Lakes trip. We enjoyed visits to a winery, a cidery, gorges, waterfalls, and dinner in Geneva and Ithaca. And even in mid-September the weather was nice enough for a refreshing dip in the lake. Dave was very friendly and helpful and the house new and clean with a great layout.
This is our 2nd straight summer staying for a week at this beautiful lakehouse. It’s such a great house. The owners have made some nice upgrades from last year including rock steps that now go the lake, And improvements to the hot tub. We had a lovely time, and hope to keep coming yearly.
This is a beautiful house on Lake Cayuga. The owner Dave was very helpful, showing us around and telling us about the property. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Lots of space on the porches to relax.
