About this property

Waterfront Farmhouse On Cayuga Lake With Dock & 3 Acres Near Wineries & Colleges

This farmhouse situated right on Cayuga Lake, was built in 1826 at Kidders Landing. The home was renovated to provide modern comforts. The house has 200 ft of gently sloping waterfront lawn and a new 100' dock with a swim ladder and a large platform for fishing and jumping into the water.

The house sleeps 8-10 comfortably and can be adapted to house more. In addition to being located on the lake and in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Country, The Painted Porch Cayuga Lake Vacation Rental is also about 200 yards from a fun little log cabin lodge/restaurant/bar. So, while the house is fully equipped for dining at home, you can also make a last minute change of plans and go next door for a glass of wine and a nice dinner!

There are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. Two of the rooms have alcoves with additional bunks, making a multi-family stay more comfortable. There are ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms as well as additional window fans and window air conditioners in all 4 bedrooms. This spring, we are adding air conditioning to the kitchen, living room and dining room.

On the three acres, there are big trees and big lawns, perfect for bird watching, croquet and badminton!

Between the house and the lake is a small two lane road, which has few cars and serves primarily as a walking, jogging and biking trail. On the bright side, it is also maintained throughout the winter! We also provide little yellow "crossing markers" to create a safer environment for crossing, in the event a car goes by. In the winter, this road is maintained by the county.

The lawn slopes down to shale beach. The dock is new and goes 100' out into the lake. Mid-simmer, the water is over 6' deep before you get to the large platform at the end of the dock. We have a large patio area with dining and lots of seating. We also have a fire ring at the edge of the beach.

There is a biergarten outside on the patio off the kitchen. Bar tables and chairs. It is fun to watch for cool birds and the local white deer from there while dinner is being prepared! We have also added a patio on the south side of the house, for another shady option on late afternoon.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: This simple farmhouse has NO TV but does have fast fiber-optic internet. You can have access to free wifi at O'Malley's also. Major sporting events are shown on the TV there. There are also 4-5 bars of phone service in the front of the house with ATT. Please also note. We have RING doorbells for security purposes; to protect the house and YOU, our guests. We also have a RING camera behind the house to monitor filling the bird feeders. We do not look at these unless our guests ask us to or if we are waiting for a package to be delivered. And we look when the house is not rented. We value YOUR PRIVACY.

Fall weekend
We 7 old friends rendezvousing for a few days. The house worked well for cooking and hanging out together, and was a good launchpad for visiting and hiking in the Finger Lakes area. Despite the less than perfect weather, we managed to catch some nice moments on the dock.

Painted Porch Stay
The house was clean, well-equipped and in a fantastic location. You could eat a meal on the porch, just sit and take pictures of blue herons or belted kingfishers, or walk along the beautiful lake front drive. We were there for our 33rd anniversary, dined several nights in nearby Trumansburg and would strongly consider returning to the Painted Porch lake house!!

Fun Farm House
Fun week with family on Cayuga lake. Spacious lot and house. The 2 large bedrooms upstairs with the large bathroom between worked well for our 2 families with small children. Nice front porch overlooking the lake and big backyard. Loads of toys and games for kids. Short drives to hikes and other activities. Cooked at home except for pizza from Pat’s on our last night. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Large dining room table for 8-10 people. Nice area for sitting outside and also down by the dock. The lake is across a road which is not busy but requires all the usual precautions for kids and pets. Dock is well built sand wider than most with a swim ladder. Water quality is very good. Bottom is rocks/pebbles so water shoes are needed. Almost no zebra mussels but some small fragments of snail shells.Excellent fishing off the dock. ( small perch, sunfish, smallmouth, and gobies.) Worms were the best bait. Would return again in the future.

Amazing time at Painted Porch
We had an amazing time! The house had every amenity including a well stocked kitchen. Alison was attentive and answered all of our questions promptly. The inside is beautiful with antique hardwoods. The birds are fun to watch in the kitchen, and we spent hours at the big living room table playing cards, talking in the family room or out on the quaint porch overlooking the lake. We rented a boat and it was great; very little boat traffic. I swam each day. The seaweed is thick near the dock but if you swim out it is clear and the water seems clean. We are thinking of vacationing again as a family and if we do we will definitely go back to the farmhouse. (so glad no TV!)

About the host

Hosted by Alison Nelson

Host profile image
I grew up in Ithaca and studied there as well. We bought this farm house initially for ourselves. Shortly there after, friends asked to rent it. And then other friends. And then other friends. So, we decided to figure out how to manage it. Last year we had at least 20 rental weeks or weekends and those who review the house have given us good reviews.

Why they chose this property

We love the walk-in beach, as much of Cayuga lake has a cliff drop off into the lake. We love the authenticity of the 1826 home. Of course it came with many construction surprises, but we are committed to keeping it more original than not. We love that it is simple. And we love that we can immediately relax when we get there. We love the no-technology house, with the safety net of the restaurant down the street as well as great cell service. And we love that we can be at any number of wineries in a few minutes. And most of all, we love the porch. The porch brings a nice social aspect to the home, but with an intimate setting as well as a a fun way to invite neighbors to stop up for a drink.

What makes this property unique

This house is in a wonderful neighborhood. We love the quietness and how all of the neighbors walk by with their dogs every single day. The huge waterfront (over 200') also lends great privacy. Sitting out on the 100' long dock is heavenly. We love that it is far enough from any "downtowns" that the stars are Texas-bright and the atmosphere is completely silent at night. We love the beer garden by the kitchen door and the patio by the lake. We have never had an un-happy visitor.

Finally, we have the best family picture tree in the world right in our front yard!
