About this property
Rustic-chic cottage with fantastic lake access, 15 minutes to Ithaca
Beloved cabin-coverted-to-cottage perfectly set up for large groups with incomparable access to the lake.
The upstairs of the cottage has two bedrooms (double and single over double bunk bed), a full bathroom, a couch (the best nap spot ever) and futon, and wonderful lake views from its airy and bright open space. The downstairs has a more cabin feel with four bedrooms (queen, double, twin, and single over double bunk bed), kitchen, dining, sitting and living area with stone fireplace, along with a powder room, separate shower, and laundry room.
There is a porch perfect for buffet and drinks setup, a large deck for outdoor eating and enjoying the lake views, and a fire pit on the beach.
The cottage has excellent access to nearby amenities, including the Black Diamond Trail (1 mile), Taughannock State Park (2.5 miles), Cass Park (6 miles), the Boatyard Grille and downtown Ithaca (7 miles), Cornell University (9 miles) and Ithaca College (9 miles).
We have been on VRBO for a couple of seasons now for May-June rentals. We don’t have rental availability during the summer. Come enjoy our favorite spot and reach out with any questions!

About the host
Your host
We are finger lakes natives who grew up coming to this cottage when it was our grandparents summer home. We are so grateful to now call it our own and share it with our friends and family.
What makes this property unique
This kind of access to the lake - less than 25 stairs from parking lot to beach - with a proper lawn and easy walk-in water access - is very difficult to find on the lake.
5 bedrooms with double beds, two bathrooms and two showers (downstairs has a powder room and separate shower) provide the infrastructure needed for larger groups.
