Cozy Dog-friendly Lakefront Vacation Getaway on Cayuga Lake

Spacious clean lake home is on the west side of the Cayuga Lake and on the wine trail. We are just over 2 hours from the Niagara Falls. Close to hiking trails. Great lake for fishing. The 3-bedroom ranch house is about 1,900 sq. ft. on a 0.5 acre property. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset throughout the year as the fire flies and occasionally swallows perform. Look out for the Blue Herons, eagles and ospreys as they dive and swoop up a fish for their meal. You may even find the resident mink running along the lake front. Breathe in the fresh air and unwind in a comfortable outdoor patio after a day of hiking or wine tasting. Relax around the fire-pit. Enjoy the morning quiet as you seep your coffee or tea. Easy access to the lake. Two kayaks available. Amenities: full kitchen, large laundry and dryer, central air and heater, fireplace, gas grill, 4 parking spaces. Lots of room for cookout and outdoor eating. There is a dock for boats. 3 bedrooms, 2 with lake views. Queen-sized beds in all 3 bedrooms. There is another queen-sized sofa bed in the year-round sunroom. Fenced-in yard for house-trained canine guests. Accompanied children always welcome. Most vineyards and restaurants with outdoor seatings are dog-friendly. Enjoy local bands/singers performance while you dine in the various wineries in the Cayuga Wine Trail.

Overall, a good stay, and a great location. House had great amenities, beds very comfortable. Felt like we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. However, be aware that the host stays directly on the property the entire time. We didn’t enjoy them mowing grass during our stay there without a heads up. Felt like that could’ve waited until we checked out.

Beautiful Lakefront house

This house is beautiful and the stay we had with our French bull dog was better than any other home we have rented in the Finger Lakes. It had everything you need to enjoy your stay from the time you walk in. The deck is big and it was so peaceful relaxing on it as we began our day. The owner is so sweet and allows you to enjoy your time spent without interruption. Our favorite restaurant is Port Cafe and it was a short 20 minute drive. Plenty of vineyards and breweries around. Our pup loved the fenced in play area. It allowed us peace of mind that he had an area for him. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to enjoy a vacation in the Finger Lakes. Beautiful Peaceful and plenty of privacy.

Fantastic Summer Getaway on Cayuga Lake

A perfect getaway for our family and our one year old Bernese. We spent most of our time on the patio , the fire pit and floating in the lake. This house has the most comfortable beds, a kitchen that is equipped( we like to cook as a family). Our Bernese even had his own fenced in yard.We have booked a return visit.

Dog friendly vacation

This property was the perfect low key, dog friendly, lake vacation. It was our first time taking our dog on vacation and it was perfect. The home was fully equipped for all our needs. Easy access to the lake. We rented a pontoon boat and the dock was convenient. The owner was very attentive to all our needs. Will definitely stay again.

Awesome property

This home had all that was advertised and then some. The house is very clean. It has a great view of the lake with easy access. The boat launch is less than 4 miles down the road with a dock on the property. There is plenty of parking and room for the boat trailer. Very lovely setting. I would defiantly stay there again.

Home away from Home

Nice house, every drawer, light switch, closet door is labeled so you know exactly what is where. Practically everything you need is there! Quiet neighborhood. Just want to mention to those with any leg issues , there is a slope to go down to the water, then back up to the house. The step out from the Florida room was difficult for me as I have bad knees, but there are plenty of other exits to use. We felt very comfortable there!

Great time on Cayuga

We stayed on Lake Cayuga for a week in August and had a great time. Margaret was a phenomenal host. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. The house was very clean, and had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. The beds were very comfortable. The showers had great water pressure. Most all of our time was spent on the backyard Patio and in the sun room, plenty of room for the four of us that were there and our dogs. You can easily fit 6 people. We started our days off paddling around, using the provided kayaks, and finished it with a fire in the fire pit overlooking the lake. We would stay here again

Vacation Bliss!

We loved our stay at Margaret’s vacation getaway! It really was the perfect spot for our family. The house has plenty of space for a family but is also cozy and quiet for a couple. We had a little of both on our trip with our adult daughters and their families visiting during our stay. The location is superb with stunning views no matter the time of day! Our dogs were a handful at times, but Margaret was understanding and soooo supportive of our rescue mutts! We also discovered that one of the dogs LOVES the water! The property has multiple hang-out spots with comfortable chairs, tables and sun umbrellas. It wasn’t particularly hot while we were there, but the AC in the building worked really well when we needed it. The property has every appliance you could need and the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms were well stocked. All in all, I don’t want to rave too much about our stay in case Margaret gets flooded with reservations and there’s no room for us to return next year!

Great stay on Cayuga Lake

The house was very clean when we arrived. the kitchen was very organized and well labeled. The view of the lake can't be beat! I was able to dock my 18 ft deep V boat without any problems, although the dock is a bit shallow. Keep the motor trimmed up and it's fine.

About the host

I live on the property, in the guest house by the road with Luna, a Bull Terrier mixed. She was adopted on Thanksgiving 2018. She is friendly and likes to bark when she meets someone new or greets a friend. The boathouse is not part of the rental. It is only for private use and occasionally for friends.

Why they chose this property

South Parker Lake House is directly on the lake with a gentle slope (no stairs) to the water. Beautiful sunrise views, peaceful and quiet. Plenty of outdoor space for gathering.

What makes this property unique

South Parker Lake House is equipped to make your vacation easy and comfortable - bed linens, towels, kitchen appliances, dishwasher, washer & dryer, propane grill, outdoor fireplace - all available for use. Guests have privacy and access to the lake without disturbance, except for occasional yard maintenance and trash/recycling schedules. Mowing activity is pending local weather forecast. Trash and recycling schedules are posted on the calendar in the house.
