This historic lakefront cottage was amazing! We could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. The host was wonderful as well.

This place was great! On the water and away from everything. Great host - communication, food in the fridge, cozy furnishings and beds. Couldn’t have asked for more.

We loved our time at the Rice cottage. Everything was perfect for a relaxing and peaceful stay. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s family cottage. Everything was so clean and comfortable and so many nice and little touches everywhere. Little vases of flowers, plenty of kitchen essentials most places don’t provide, well stocked paper goods, nice and plentiful linens and towels, helpful notes, great communication throughout, and so much more. The views and being on the lake was so nice. We actually spent almost all day one day hanging out by the lake when we had planned to explore the area just because it was so pleasant and relaxing! We also loved learning about the history of the cottage. I hope we will be able to return. Thank you!

Fantastic, little get-away

The location of this rustic cottage was prime! We loved the lake front access and wrap-around porch.Perfect size for two adult couples (if there were kids, they could stay in living room beds).Property manager was quick to respond and helpful - even leaving drinking water and putting out fresh flowers.We’d definitely stay again!

Unique and Rustic Cottage with Awesome View

Our group of 4 loved staying at Rice Cottage. We like quirky or unique properties so this was perfect for us. The wood stove kept us plenty warm at night. Other than a quick dip in the lake for the braver members of our group, we couldn't take full advantage of the lake access. Having the view, though, was wonderful. The mattresses on the larger beds seem to be the newer "foam" type and I don't always do well with those. However, we all slept very well! Ithaca was only a short drive and we enjoyed some great hikes during our stay. I loved the personalized greeting and the local apples that Christianne left for us. We would definitely return!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! You are hardy to swim in the lake at the end of October! But we’ve had a stretch of warm weather so you got to experience fall foliage and ‘refreshing’ lake waters!

This was a lovely place to spend the time right before and right after our wedding! A nice quiet spot by the water, tucked away from the town. Christianne was so kind and attentive and made our stay amazing. We would recommend Rice Cottage to anyone.

The house is very cute and rustic with a huge covered porch. Its very secluded and not on top of another house which was really nice. It felt more private and peaceful. The host was quick to reply to messages and was sweet and accommodating.
