About this property
Long Point Lake House - Daphne's House
Relax with those closest to you at this peaceful home right on Cayuga Lake. This cozy retreat is just minutes away from the charming town of Aurora, offering the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Surrounding the area are local vineyards, breweries, and hiking trails, as well as attractions like the Inns of Aurora and Makenzie-Childs. And if you want to explore further, Cornell and Ithaca are only a 30-minute drive south.
The house has been designed to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, with a special focus on maximizing the beautiful lake views. The first floor is open and filled with natural light, thanks to large windows overlooking the water. The kitchen is fully stocked and is open to the rest of the floor so you don't have to be apart from your group while preparing your meals. There is a dining room with seating for 6, and the cozy living room has an electric fireplace to cuddle up by on a rainy day and read a book.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms. Prepare for your outings in style in the full bathroom featuring a double sink, ensuring everyone has plenty of space to get ready. One of the bedrooms has its own private bathroom complete with a rain showerhead.
Step outside through the French doors on the first floor and onto a spacious deck with outdoor seating and a dining area. A brand new dock allows you to take a refreshing swim in Cayuga Lake. There is also a grill provided. A barrel sauna is available to keep you warm on those cold nights. It can comfortably fit 4 adults, and you can squeeze 6. The lake side is all glass so you can watch the water or the sunset as you relax. You can also stay on the deck until the sun goes down and enjoy a glass of local wine while watching some of the most incredible sunsets you will ever see!
We also have a Watercraft Shed available for rent which includes 6 Lake Tubes, 4 Paddle Boards (with optional kayak seats), 2 Hard Side Kayaks, and plenty of Life Jackets. Rental Fee is $75 per day or $225 for your entire stay. You may choose to only rent for 1 or 2 days of your stay.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a lake house in a rural area. There will be some spiders and bugs no matter how carefully we clean. The road to the house is a 1 lane dirt road. We love the quiet seclusion and the beauty that this house has and we know you will too, but please understand the area that you will be staying in.
The entire property is yours to enjoy.
I am available at all times by phone to help you with any of your needs.
This is a small, quiet, dead end street. It is a private street with a strict 5mph speed limit because of the road's proximity to the houses. There are only 4 properties past this house, so there is little to no traffic at the house.
There is ample parking for cars at the house. The street is only 1 lane, so sometimes you'll need some patience getting in or out. Everyone is very friendly and will make sure you have the access you need!
Notes for Boats! The street is tight and while you'll be able to get it down to the house, turning it around is a challenge and requires an experienced driver. It is doable though. Also, the water can get very rough in even mildly bad weather so we don't allow overnight hitching of boats on the dock to avoid any dock or boat damage.

Home with all the amenities. It was clean and well stocked. Enjoyed sitting outsideand looking at the lake. Outstanding attention to detail. Towels were extraordinary.It felt like home! Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location.
We absolutely loved this house! All of the renovations done on the property are so well thought out and executed - it is beautiful AND extremely functional! Perfect spot for a family stay-cation. It’s amazing being right on the water, and the hosts have thought about absolutely everything you may need during your stay!
The owners are incredibly helpful and communicative, making the entire stay relaxing. And there’s nothing like waking up and stepping outside for a swim in Cayuga Lake!
The house was very beautiful with great finishings and super clean. You had everything you need the hosts You’re very attentive and helpful. Location is great near a beautiful little town and the house is right on the water. I highly recommend this property.
We loved our stay! The cottage was everything we hoped for. Spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the amazing view. The sunsets were stunning. Very comfortable and well appointed. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend:)
Stayed with two friends for a long weekend and we couldn't tear ourselves away from the beautiful lake views! The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need, from the well-supplied kitchen, beautifully refinished bathrooms to small details which enhanced our stay. Highly recommend!
We wanted to get away and spend some quality family time together after the craziness of Christmas.
This cozy cottage did just that and more. It's a beautiful home, well kept, clean with and even better view of the lake!
Matt was a great host and quick to answer any questions though he already had most of them covered in his digital guest guidebook.
If you're looking for peace and quiet we would definitely recommend.
We had such a wonderful time at the lake house. The house was clean, and the deck on the lake was amazing. The most surprising part was we experienced no bugs! Having coffee on the new dock every morning was very peaceful. We had fun with our tubes on the lake and would take a kayak next time. Thank you
Everything was as advertised, and everything you would hope would be there, like salt and pepper,sharp knives, was there.Only downside is that some members of our party had a bad reaction to the sulphur smell in the well water. As with many places now, I would bring my own drinking water....
Lovely home on the water, very clean, large modern bathrooms, comfortable for a group or family, quiet setting and beautiful sunsets!
