About this property

Luxury Estate with a Lakeview - Where Elevation Meets Imagination

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be swept away by the view. Watch the sun set over the valley as it lights up the lake. Sip your morning coffee from your bedroom's private balcony as the clouds drift through the trees below. With natural accents and floor-to-ceiling windows, golden light pours in and gives you the feeling that you are not separate from the natural world outside, but you are in fact a part of it.

And when you’re ready to stir that stillness, the house offers its own kind of adventure. Take a ride down one of the indoor slides. Search for the secret passageways. Cue up a game of pool, shuffleboard, or ping pong. Or cozy up in the comfort of the theater room and press play. Whether you're hosting a gathering or letting the kids burn off some energy, this is a space that ignites joy, wonder and connection.

Up here you’ll feel in a world all your own. But dipping into Ithaca’s world-class waterfalls, vibrant downtown, and famous farmers markets are just a short drive away.


Explore Ithaca & the Finger Lakes

You’re perfectly positioned to enjoy it all:
-15 minutes to downtown Ithaca
-Minutes from Cayuga Lake, waterfalls, and scenic hiking trails
-Close to Finger Lakes wine country, boutique shopping, and live music
-Less than 10 minutes to Cornell University and Ithaca College

And when the day is done, return to your mountaintop haven to rest, play, and soak in the stars.

Very unique and very beautiful home. The view of Cayuga Lake and Cornell is amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the sunset as we ate dinner and enjoyed cocktails on the beautiful spacious deck. All the cool features in the listing and in the photos are even cooler in real life. The kids had a blast as did the adults. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The house was very clean. I would definitely stay again when visiting Ithaca with a large group. I definitely recommend to a large family or group of friends visiting for graduation or reunion.

We really enjoyed our stay. To say that the view is spectacular, is probably an understatement. We had three generations of our family there. The youngsters truly enjoyed exploring all the exciting kid friendly touches.

Perfect place for a large gathering of family and friends. The views are amazing and house layout allows for guests to be together while also their own private spaces. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We had a great time!

Beautiful property, drop-dead gorgeous view, and lots of fun, hidden gems (slides, climbing wall, etc.). The property managers were exceptionally easy to work with; friendly, communicative, flexible, and very accommodating. I love visiting the Ithaca area and hope I’m able to book this property again in the future!

The views were incredible, but the house didn't seem finished. Some of the air conditioners did operate or weren't completed. The sliding doors to the porch don't open. The railing on the main stairs isn't finish and there was exposed metal. The spray hose in the kitchen isn't connected. The stairs to the TV area is a tripping hazard. The drive way isn't paved, which was an issue in the rain.However, the host was responsive and the house has a ton of potential. It's on an amazing property.

Thank you for your review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the incredible views and found our team to be responsive during your stay. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention so we can clarify them for future travelers. For climate control, our home features high-end mini-split AC units in every individual bedroom. The remotes are universal and fully operational, though we will make sure instructions on their use are more prominent. Regarding the porch doors, they are fully functional but utilize heavy-duty safety latches on the handles; we will ensure instructions on how to unlock them are clearer moving forward. For context on our unpaved driveway, because our home is located on a beautiful mountain terrain, keeping the driveway natural is an intentional design choice that is best for proper mountain water drainage and environmental erosion control. We keep our listing photos and descriptions fully updated so guests can see the exact layout and scenic terrain before booking. Thank you again for your valuable insights and for highlighting the immense beauty of our property!

We had a wonderful family reunion made possible by the flexibility of the attendees in dealing with the house’s shortcomings. The views were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the living room, dining room and on the deck.There are no “twin beds” in living room 1 – these are just the pink couch cushions. No “double sofa beds” in living room 2 – these are the extended chaises. One bedroom had the a/c apart and a hose running down to a tub on the nightstand; couldn’t open the windows because no screen on one and the other was broken. Another had no curtain on the large window. Another had a curtain rod hanging down and no curtain on the smaller window. Master bathroom has no wall in the shower area and opens into the bedroom - unclear if not finished or by design. One bedroom has no a/c unit at all (and it was high 90s) and you can’t open the windows because there are no screens. One bedroom had a dirty/stained bedspread. Beds were comfy though.Kitchen: plenty of coffee mugs but no real drinking glasses – only mason jars, 3 wine glasses. Only 1 salad-size bowl making it hard to cook for a large crowd. There was no cupboard space for our food so we had to leave it on the counter but with no shades on the windows, the sun coming in was an issue. The grill was missing 2 of the 3 grates again making it hard to cook for a crowd. Kitchen faucet leaked non-stop and squealed when someone took a shower.Internet is slow (the IT professionals with us measured it).

Upon a first look, the house and the view was spectacular! However, as we looked with more detail, they were quite a few unfinished projects and hazards on the property. There was construction material in the driveway, nails scattered about near the lawn, a hole in the master bathroom shower wall, among other works in progress. The stair railing was not finished on the main stairs and was an hazard for the small children that were staying there. Unfortunately, there appeared to be no cleaning done prior to our arrival. Our guests had a dirty bedsheets, and a shortage of towels. The kitchen did not have working cold water for the first day and the fridge was full of the hosts food/drinks. The property manager was helpful and generally receptive to fixing the issues. Communication with the host was good up until the day of check-in, where it felt that he had forgotten about our booking. We had rented this property for our wedding, which we had communicated to the host multiple times and had an expectation that the property would be ready and fully functional for this event. We booked this property 10 months in advance and were unfortunately disappointed in the state of the property and house. While there is a lot of potential for this property, the work needs to be completed before renting out as a completed “luxury” property.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the spectacular views, though we regret that your arrival did not go smoothly for your wedding weekend. To provide important context for future guests, we had just wrapped up a major infrastructure project to replace the home's plumbing. During our peak summer season, guest changeover windows are incredibly tight. Our professional cleaning team required every minute of that preparation window to clear the final construction debris and deep-clean the home. Because your party arrived two hours prior to our standard check-in time, you unfortunately walked into a property that was still actively in the middle of being serviced. We want to assure all travelers that hygiene is our top priority. We invest heavily in professional turnover, and all sheets and towels are strictly washed and sanitized between every single stay. Because the turnover was interrupted by the early arrival, the fresh linens had not yet been placed on the beds, though we keep a fully stocked closet with extra sheets, pillows, and towels available at all times. The major utility work is complete, the property is safe, and our listing images are kept fully updated to accurately reflect the current state and layout of the home. We are glad our property manager was able to assist you, and we have tightened our check-in protocols so that future guests only enter the property once it has been fully inspected and prepared by our team.

The property and view were amazing! Our 7 grandchildren were thrilled: slides! Secret rooms! Ping pong and pool! Climbing walls! Although there were some quality finishes inside, the home was not luxurious. It’s not finished. Linens were subpar. Closets were off limits so there was no place to hang clothing. Most irritating was the kitchen sink. Cold water and dishwasher were not working properly. This at least should be fixed.
